Die ukrainische Aufklärungs- und Spezialoperations-Einheit "Group 13" vermeldete die Versenkung eines weiteren russischen Marineschiffes im Schwarzen Meer in der Nacht vom 4. auf den 5. März 2024 unweit der Kertsch-Brücke. Über diese strategische Verbindung vom russischen Festland der Region Krasnodar zur Halbinsel Krim führt die wichtigste Versorgungsroute der russischen Besatzungstruppen auf der Krim und in der südlichen Ukraine. Das Gebiet ist noch einmal 250 Kilometer von den Seegebieten vor Sewastopol entfernt, wo bereits die Raketen-Korvette "Ivanovets" (Nanuchka-II, 1. Februar 2024) und das Landungsschiff "Caesar Kunikov" (Ropucha, 14. Februar 2024) durch Drohnen-gestützte Schwarmangriffe versenkt wurden. Auch dieses Mal zeigen die...

Just like the first shots fired by the "Hessians", many a report and many a statement on the subject were also quite off the mark.

The frigate "Hessen" moved from its base on Crete through the Suez Canal into the Red Sea immediately after receiving a parliamentary mandate to assemble the contingent for the EU Operation Aspides. There it was approached by UAV shortly after arriving in the area. Not everything went as planned during the operation. Major mishaps usually announce themselves...

Finland: Alexander Stubb elected President

The result of the Finnish presidential election run-off on 11 February 2024 leaves no room for doubt; the country's military non-alignment is definitely over and Finnish voters are fully committed to their NATO membership and transatlantic security. Alexander Stubb, former Prime Minister and member of the conservative National Coalition Party (KOK), narrowly secured victory ahead of Pekka Haavisto of the Green Party. Haavisto played a key role in the accession process and as foreign minister signed Finland's historic accession treaty to NATO last year. Against the backdrop of Russia's brutal war of aggression against Ukraine, both candidates agreed that Finland...
