If in recent months Ukraine has directed its swarms of drones against refineries, oil export ports, and other energy infrastructures inside Russia, now the attacks are focusing on the Sea of Azov. Their main objective is to disrupt the transport of fuel and oil of the so-called Russian “ghost fleet,” but it is also forcing Moscow to redirect maritime traffic so that its grain exports are not affected this summer.
The murder of MP Ann Widdecombe last Thursday has taken an unexpected turn. After the suspect in the crime, a 28-year-old man, was released, the case has moved from the police to the counter-terrorism unit, which is now leading the investigation. The suspect has been re-arrested after it emerged that Widdecombe was killed at her home just 20 minutes after giving an interview in which she defended her party leader, Nigel Farage, from the accusations he has been involved in and that have led to his resignation.
The escalation in hostilities that began last week between the U.S. and Iran, after Donald Trump declared the ceasefire sealed in the preliminary agreement from a month ago suspended, intensified this Tuesday. U.S. forces launched a third consecutive attack against the Persian country in the early hours of this Tuesday, by order of the U.S. president, who had announced it hours earlier, as well as the “reestablishment” of the blockade on Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.
When in February 2022 Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine, whose very right to exist he denied, he could not have imagined that four and a half years later soldiers and pilots from Kyiv would parade in Paris as heroes and allies. The military parade this Tuesday on the Champs-Élysées, on the occasion of Bastille Day, the French national holiday, was a demonstration of European unity and a tribute to Ukraine for its courage.
The United States has used marine drones in combat for the first time to attack a submarine and vessel maintenance center in Iran, in a new episode of the military escalation between the two countries.

The Parliament of Hungary approved this Monday a constitutional amendment that aims, among other things, to achieve the removal or dismissal of President Tamás Sulyok, whom Prime Minister Péter Magyar calls a “puppet” of the former Prime Minister, the ultranationalist Viktor Orbán. The amendment was approved by 139 votes in favor and 6 against out of the total 199 seats in the chamber. The Fidesz parliamentarians, Orbán’s party, had been absent in protest.
The President of the United States, Donald Trump, stated this Monday that the United States will probably take control of the Strait of Hormuz and should be compensated financially for ensuring the security of that strategic maritime route. “We are going to hold the strait and probably manage it. We will become the guardians of the strait. We are going to protect it. And they will pay us to protect it. A lot of money,” Trump assured.
Europe took a new step this Monday to defend itself autonomously, without so much dependence on the United States. During a summit in Paris, ten countries, including Spain, launched “the coalition against ballistic missiles,” with a “purely defensive” vocation, aimed at jointly developing or at least coordinating efforts to equip themselves with systems that serve to protect against attacks like those carried out by Russia against Ukraine.
