NATO prepares for a future where U.S. support is limited. A French-led wargame in Romania showed Europe’s eastern flank defending alone, while Trump’s drawdown raises fears allies may face Russia without American backup.

Russia’s Rosneft reports a 70 % drop in net income for the first 9 months of 2025, down to 277 billion roubles (~$3.57 billion). The company cited high interest rates, lower oil prices, a stronger rouble, and rising “anti‑terror security” costs as major pressures.

Real reason: Ukrainian sanctions.

Russian drone violations of Moldova’s airspace are unacceptable and put civilian air traffic at risk.

The EU is investing 20 million EUR this year in Moldova’s air-defences to help strengthen the country’s security.

Moldova’s skies cannot become a casualty of Russia’s war.
