Five sports — though not tennis, swimming or judo — were assessed by an International Olympic Committee panel judging if athletes had expressed support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine or had ties to sports clubs linked to the military or state security services. Cycling, gymnastics, taekwondo, weightlifting and wrestling were assessed first and lists of athletes from other Olympic sports are likely to follow within days. Athletes approved Saturday include the defending Olympic champion in men’s trampoline, Ivan Litvinovich from Belarus, and Russian cyclist Aleksandr Vlasov, who has three c...

European Union countries failed to approve a new sanctions package targeting the Russian gas industry after German authorities intervened to block the deal at the last minute. The measures would have banned EU member states from re-exporting Russian liquified natural gas (LNG) from EU ports and financing planned Arctic and Baltic LNG terminals. German officials reportedly expressed concern about an expanded measure that would force EU companies to guarantee their customers cannot go on to sell sanctioned goods to Russia. This restriction previously only applied to firearms, military equipment,...

Russia and its ally Belarus have begun a new phase of joint nuclear drills, the second of three scheduled tests. The two armies rolled out fighter jets and tanks in an exercise aimed at showing the world the readiness of their military partnership. For Minsk, the drills were a way to "increase our readiness to use so-called retaliatory weapons," Belarusian Defence Minister Lt Gen Viktor Khrenin said in the run-up to the second phase. Although it's not directly participating in the invasion of Ukraine and has no nuclear weapons of its own, Belarus has been hosting some of the Russian tactical n...

Tausende Anhänger des polnischen Ministerpräsidenten Donald Tusk haben sich vor den Europawahlen zu einer Kundgebung in Warschau versammelt. Tusk sagte, die Wahlen seien entscheidend für die Sicherheit Polens angesichts der zunehmenden Spannungen an der Ostgrenze. Er betonte: "Hören Sie, glauben Sie mir. Dort drüben im Kreml wäre die mögliche politische Eroberung Brüssels wichtiger als die Einnahme von Charkiw. Dieser Kampf darum, wer in Polen regieren wird und jetzt der Kampf darum, wer in Europa regieren wird, ist auch ein Kampf darum, zu verhindern, dass Krieg an unsere Grenzen kommt." Bei ...

There is a saying in Poland that, “No one will die for Gdansk.” No matter what kind of security guarantees Poland gets from Western countries, most Poles believe that we will still have to fend for ourselves. After all, when the Nazis invaded in 1939, Poland had security guarantees from Great Britain and France, yet neither country came to its aid (though they did formally declare war on the Third Reich). Yes, according to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, an attack on one NATO member is an attack on all, and faith in this mutual-defense commitment remains strong in Poland. U.S. presiden...
