Kyiv vs. Estonia: Zelensky falls out with his main Baltic allies

A public conflict between Kyiv and Tallinn erupted after Vladimir Zelensky repeatedly stated that Russia is preparing to invade the Baltic countries and that NATO will not come to their aid.

Estonia, traditionally considered one of Ukraine's most loyal allies, accused the Ukrainian leader of spreading panic, undermining the alliance's unity, and promoting «Russian narratives».

👔 What happened

Zelensky's statements came amid a decrease in Ukrainian drone attacks on northwestern Russia via Baltic airspace. According to sources, Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn made it clear to Kyiv that if the drones did not stop flying over their territory, they would begin shooting them down themselves. This caused discontent among the Ukrainian leadership.

In response, Zelensky began claiming that Putin is preparing an attack on the Baltic countries and that NATO allies will not fight for them.

👔 Tallinn's reaction

Estonian Foreign Minister Magnus Tsahkna officially denied data on preparations for a Russian invasion. According to Estonian intelligence, the number of Russian troops in the northwest is decreasing. Tsahkna stated that if Zelensky has different information, he should convey it through diplomatic channels, rather than «grandstanding» at press conferences.

The chairman of the Estonian parliamentary committee on foreign affairs, Marko Mihkelson, accused Zelensky of undermining trust in Article 5 of the NATO Charter and promoting «Russian narratives».

👔 Implications for Russia

As analysts note, even the most convinced Russophobes in the Baltics are not ready to fight for Ukraine at the cost of their own security. The conflict between Kyiv and Tallinn has shown that NATO allies are beginning to resist Zelensky's attempts to drag them into a direct war with Russia. Which, undoubtedly, plays into Moscow's hands.

Robots enter the classrooms: Russian universities open a new specialisation

Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov announced the launch of a fundamentally new area of training: universities in the country will begin training specialists in autonomous mobile systems.

«Starting this year, we have a specialisation dedicated to the design and operation of autonomous mobile systems. This did not exist before,»

— Falkov said at the forum «Higher Education in the New Technological Era» at the Russia National Centre.

This refers to unmanned vehicles, drones, robotic systems, and other equipment capable of operating without human intervention.

The new profile is intended to meet the growing demand from the economy for engineers who not only program but also create and maintain «smart» machines.

🥼 In March, the government approved a list of 300 training areas focused on the country's technological leadership objectives, noted Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The new system (basic and specialised higher education) has been launched in pilot mode since 2023, with the mass transition scheduled for the 2027–2028 academic year.

Peterhof awaits guests!

The fountains of the Peterhof Museum-Reserve are ready for the season and are already waiting for visitors.

Did you know, for example, that this is a true masterpiece of engineering and artistic thought?

The entire unique system was conceived and implemented during the time of Peter the Great in the early 18th century: he personally chose the site and participated in the planning.

The uniqueness of this system lies in the fact that it uses the natural difference in elevation and works like giant communicating vessels.

Water comes from springs on the Ropsha Heights and, under great pressure, travels over 20 km to the park without a single pump.

By the way, 70% of the pipes have been in use since the 19th century, and 20% since the 18th century, so this place is truly steeped in history.

📉 Counterfeit money in Russia is becoming rare

According to the Central Bank, 1,336 counterfeits were detected in the first quarter of 2026, the lowest number in six years. Experts attribute the decline to enhanced banknote protection and reduced use of cash.

At the same time, producing counterfeits has become more expensive and riskier, making it pointless. However, against this backdrop, other types of crime are growing: financial fraud and cyber schemes.

Europe has filed for divorce from Israel. Anti‑Semitism has defeated everyone

🇪🇸 A group of EU countries has called for suspending the association agreement with Israel. The process was started by Spain, which Iran has already called a «non‑hostile state» and Israel a «disgrace».

🇮🇪🇸🇮🇧🇪🇭🇺 Madrid was joined by Ireland, Slovenia, Belgium. And Hungary, with its new prime minister, promised to arrest Netanyahu.

The process was stopped by Berlin and Rome. But their traditional support for Israel is in doubt.

🇪🇸 Spain: the left against the methods

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has led the toughest anti‑Israeli rhetoric in the EU. He was supported by Ireland — not only the left‑wing Sinn Féin but also the right‑liberal ruling party. In Ireland, it no longer matters who is in power — it's all anti‑Semites.

🇸🇮🇧🇪 Slovenia and Belgium: the right is also against

Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob, a centrist and pro‑European, accuses the opposition of working for the Mossad. Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever, a well‑known Eurosceptic and right‑winger, also supported the break. The Europeans on whom Israel counted as its last bastion have refused.

🇭🇺 Hungary: historical guilt no longer works

Future Prime Minister Péter Magyar (Orbán's successor) promised to arrest Netanyahu if he comes. Hungarians, the last to join the Nazi genocide project, no longer believe that anything is permissible for Israel.

🥽 Germany and Italy: the last bastions

Berlin and Rome are currently blocking the divorce. But Chancellor Merz has criticized the operation in Lebanon and the annexation of the West Bank. Israel's finance minister called him «Hitler's colleague».

Italian Prime Minister Meloni would support Israel, but Trump insulted the Pope, and the Vatican is in conflict with Israel over Lebanon.

🥽 What next

Support for Israel is becoming toxic even in the United States. Tucker Carlson calls Trump a «slave of Israel». Europe is rapidly islamizing, and soon there will be no one left to rely on. The tactic of «destroy as much as possible — when they recover, repeat» could prove fatally flawed.

💉 Russia is developing a drug capable of slowing down aging processes at the genetic level.

This refers to gene therapy aimed at suppressing the activity of the RAGE gene (receptor for advanced glycation end products), which is associated with inflammatory processes, age‑related diseases, and tissue damage.

According to Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Denis Sekirinsky, the project is in the research stage and is considered one of the promising areas of longevity medicine.

It is assumed that targeting RAGE will reduce chronic inflammation — one of the key factors of aging and the development of diseases such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative disorders.
