Munich security talks marked by global 'lose-lose' anxiety
MUNICH — It's called the Munich Rule: engage and interact; don't lecture or ignore one another.But this year, at the 60th Munich Security Conference (MSC), two of the most talked-about people weren't even here.That included former US President Donald Trump, whose possible return to the White House could throw a spanner in the work of the transatlantic relationship, which lies at the heart of this premier international forum.And Russia's President Vladimir Putin, who was vehemently blamed by one world leader after another for the death of his most prominent critic Alexei Navalny, not to mention his full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which continues to cast a long dark shadow across Europe and far beyond.The staggering news of Navalny's death, which broke just hours before...

Josep Borrell calls for a united Europe at Munich security conference
MUNICH — The Munich Security Conference (MSC), came to an end on Sunday. This 60th edition brought together world leaders. Discussions focused on the situation in the Middle East, the Rafah offensive and the war in Ukraine.On the final day, which brought to a close three days of debates on geopolitical issues, the head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell declared that the most important geopolitical issues facing the European Union today are linked to Ukraine, Gaza and the southern countries, as well as defense.Regarding Ukraine, he also warned that "for the first time in our history, we have to supply arms to a country at war" and that "this obliges us to work together, faster and better"."We have perhaps hesitated too much, too often. Two years ago, we were...

What Navalny wanted to happen in the event of his death
Navalny's life and future death captured in Oscar-winning documentary
MOSCOW — "If you are killed, if this does happen, what message do you leave behind to the Russian people?"This is the first question posed to Alexei Navalny by Canadian director Daniel Roher in the 2022 Oscar-winning documentary Navalny."Come on Daniel, no," Navalny responds, smiling. "No way. It's like you're making a movie for the case of my death."Those words have now taken on a new poignancy with the news that the 47-year-old Russian political activist died in an Arctic Circle jail on Friday.Russian prison authorities said that the Kremlin critic had become unwell following a walk. Navalny's team says his body is purposely being withheld by the Russian authorities so they can "cover traces".Despite the clear dangers Navalny was...

Navalny death: Team accuses Russia of 'hiding' his body
MOSCOW — Alexei Navalny's mother has been unable to recover his body after his death in an Arctic jail, a close aide to the dead Russian opposition leader says.Kira Yarmysch said his mother, Lyudmila, was told his body would only be handed over once a post-mortem examination had been completed.Navalny's team believes the anti-corruption campaigner was murdered on the orders of President Vladimir Putin.A rights group said 300 Russians had been arrested for laying tributes.Western governments say the blame lies with Russian authorities for the 47-year-old's sudden death, while foreign ministers from the G7 group of rich countries called on Russia to "urgently clarify" the circumstances surrounding it.Putin has not publicly commented since the Russian prison service...

Navalny: Supporters' grief, defiance and hope after leader's death
MOSCOW — Blink, and you might have missed it.In its 45-minute Friday night news bulletin, Russian TV devoted 28 seconds to the news about Alexei Navalny.His death was announced almost in passing.Just 28 seconds for the man who'd become Russia's most prominent opposition figure and the country's most famous prisoner.Alexei Navalny had, in fact, been many things: lawyer, blogger, anti-corruption campaigner, political activist — and always a thorn in the side of the Kremlin.Not all Russians had supported him. But, for a decade he was the only opposition figure in Russia capable of bringing large numbers of protesters on to the streets — across the country — to rail against the government, slam corruption and demand free and fair elections.Which is why the Kremlin saw him...

Navalny: Supporters' grief, defiance and hope after leader's death

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban's ruling Fidesz party has been accused of tolerating crimes against children it pledged to prevent.
Child abuse scandal rattles Orban’s image as defender of ‘family values’
BUDAPEST — Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has for years told his country its children are under attack from deviant sexualities and pedophilia. Now, his government is embroiled in a scandal after it emerged that its president had pardoned a man convicted of covering up sexual abuse at a children’s home.President Katalin Novak, Orban’s loyal but largely impotent ally, resigned last Saturday amid public furor over her decision in April 2023 to pardon the deputy director of a children’s home who had helped to cover up the abuse of underaged boys.She said she made a “mistake” in “believing that the convict did not exploit the vulnerability of children whom he had overseen.”Novak’s pardon was reportedly signed off by former Justice Minister Judit Varga, the ruling...

Is Avdiivka's fall a sign Russia is turning the tide?
KYIV — When he was appointed this month, Ukraine's new head of the armed forces, Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi, said he would "rather retreat than sacrifice lives", and that is what he has finally done with this eastern city.Despite Russians suffering enormous losses, four months of relentless attacks have left Ukrainian troops there outnumbered, outgunned, and with dwindling ammunition.It is Moscow's biggest victory since Ukraine's failed counter-offensive last year. Avdiivka was briefly occupied by Russia in 2014 before being retaken by Ukraine.So, what does Avdiivka's fall mean for the wider conflict?With this now being a war of attrition, the difference in Ukraine and Russia's size is becoming more apparent. Russia's population of 144 million is more than...

KYIV — Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has made an urgent appeal for more weapons to avoid a "catastrophic" situation in Europe.An "artificial deficit of weapons" will only help Russia, Zelensky told an international conference in Germany.Ukrainian troops have been running out of ammunition as vital US support has been held up by supporters of former President Donald Trump in Congress.Zelensky said he was prepared to tour the front lines with Trump."If Trump will come, I am ready to go with him to the front line. What does it mean, the real war, not Instagram, the real war," the Ukrainian president said.Zelensky was speaking at the Munich Security Conference — a gathering of world leaders and senior defense officials — ahead of the two-year...

UN human rights office ‘appalled’ at death of Navalny in prison
GENEVA — The UN human rights office (OHCHR) on Friday said it was “appalled” over the death announced by Russian authorities of opposition leader Alexei Navalny in prison, calling for an impartial and transparent independent investigation.Navalny, 47, had lost consciousness and could not be revived, according to media reports.“If someone dies in the custody of the State, the presumption is that the State is responsible — a responsibility that can only be rebutted through an impartial, thorough and transparent investigation carried out by an independent body,” said OHCHR spokesperson Liz Throssell, calling on Russia “to ensure such a credible investigation is carried out”.Any State has a heightened duty to protect the lives of individuals deprived of their liberty, the UN...
