A letter from the finance minister has raised concerns about how long and how robustly Germany will continue to support Ukraine in the face of Russia's invasion.
German politicians have blasted potential government plans to refuse to send Ukraine any more financial aid.
-The chairman of the Bundestag's Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael Roth, reportedly told journalists that failing to provide new military aid for Ukraine under future federal budgets would send Kyiv "a fatal signal".
The comments came after domestic media reported on a letter from Finance Minister Christian Lindner to the foreign and defence ministries in which he said that "new measures" to fund Ukraine against Russia's invasion could only be taken if "funding is secured" in budgetary plans.
- Lindner is currently trying to rein in Germany's spending under a constitutional debt brake that limits the amount of new debt the government can take on.
The current 2025 budget has earmarked €4 billion for Ukraine, but as things stand, there appears to be no new money earmarked for future aid.
Since Linder's letter was revealed, the Ministry of Finance has since assured that it would "examine the short-term provision of additional funds" — but that hasn't stopped politicians from weighing in.
2 years after Ukrainian POWs killed in Olenivka camp explosion, no one prosecuted
Ukrainian authorities have called the #Olenivka attack a deliberate Russian war crime, saying #Russia either hit the prison with artillery or blew it up from inside.
Kyiv said that days before the attack, Russians deliberately put Ukrainian members of the Azov Regiment, who were captured in Mariupol and were awaiting a prisoner exchange, to a separate part of the prison building that was later destroyed in the explosion.

Microsoft says Russian #disinformation campaign targeting US #elections has begun
U.S. officials have said that #Russia engaged in a widespread campaign of digital disinformation and hacking in the past two presidential elections, with particular effort dedicated to the 2016 election.
The governments of Belgium and Czechia also warned earlier in April that Russia was operating a disinformation and interference network targeting the upcoming EU parliamentary election.
According to the Microsoft report, Russia's campaign to sow disinformation in the U.S. has begun in earnest over the past month and a half but has yet to reach the height of previous efforts.
One of the more common methods is for Russia to spread fake "whistleblower" narratives, which are then picked up by U.S. media outlets.
"Ultimately, after the narrative has circulated online for a series of days or weeks, U.S. audiences repeat and repost this disinformation, likely unaware of its original source," Microsoft said.
The focus of the new campaign is to spread "divisive content," including criticism of U.S. support for Ukraine, the Microsoft report said.

Russian movie theaters are openly stealing Western films, and going unpunished
After Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, #Hollywood's biggest film studios stopped selling their films to Russia. Despite that, Russian movie theaters have continued showing U.S.-made films, now pirated from online platforms.
And instead of a crackdown on piracy, the Russian government is now considering legalizing theft.
Russian state television has been vocal in painting Western #democracies, especially the U.S., as the reason for all of Russia's problems. The desire for U.S.-made products inside Russia, however, remains high, with the country's providers turning to illegal schemes to cover the demand.

Russian use of prohibited chemical weapons has become 'systemic'
The tendency of Russian troops to use munition with prohibited chemicals grows and has become "systemic," the command of Ukraine's Support Forces reported on April 5.
Ukrainian forces recorded 371 cases of usage of munition containing prohibited chemicals over the past month, which is 90 cases more than during the previous one.
For such attacks, Russia primarily uses K-51 and RG-VO grenades, which are delivered via drones, according to the Support Forces.

Russia’s abduction of Ukrainian children is an established genocidal tactic during war
Russia’s forceful displacement of Ukrainians is a centuries-tested practice of conquest.
Von Guttner Sporzynski highlights that the tradition of abduction and forced displacement of the non-conformist population is deeply rooted in Russia’s history.
He starts from the 16th century, when the first deportations of citizens of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania started, then follows to 19th -century Poland, where around 60,000 people were deported following two anti-Russian rebellions, and ends with the 20th century:
“It is estimated that between 1936 and 1952 at _least three million people were deported across the western territories of Soviet Russia and transported thousands of kilometres away to Siberia and Central Asia.”_ Von Guttner Sporzynski concludes that the children who get abducted today from Ukraine may not find their way back home after the war ends.
