How did the party of Reagan come to be so favorable to Russia? The easy answer comes down to just Trump, but it is rooted in a much older tradition that was counting down the years until the end of Cold War consensus to assert itself. It is a story of anti-liberalism, anti-modernity, and, often, antisemitism.

We spoke with community member Roma, a daily participant in the protest movement against the sacking of former Defence Minister Fedorov. He explains the protesters' day-to-day activities, how the movement evolved as issues were resolved, how it organised as a grassroots movement, and what may happen next.

Meanwhile:

• Russia strikes more malls, big-box stores, and logistics warehouses
• A biologist turned escort turned assassin eliminates a traitor to Ukraine
• New anti-corruption investigations

Both Russia and Ukraine have taken direct damage to their economic infrastructure. Ukraine has been dismantling the Russian Wildberries e-commerce company while continuing the bombing of oil and gas refining and export. Meanwhile, Russia has bombed Ukrainian warehouses and big-box stores and intensified its attack on Odesa harbour. How will this affect either society?

Meanwhile:

• Anthony was bombed
• Double-tap attacks
• Putin visits occupied Japanese islands
• Drone attack in Germany
• Protests continue after the sacking of former Defence Minister Fedorov while Bankova refuses to communicate
• Political developments in Poland
• Diplomatic errors with Kosovo

Ukrainian-Polish relations are in crisis following a high-level falling out over the question of historical memory of World War II and the extreme ethnic violence of the time. This began as a question of President Zelensky being stripped of Polish honors. But, it has uncovered a slate of grievances, frustrations, and power dynamics that will have to be addressed.
