Ukraine said it uncovered a Hungarian espionage network earlier this month
Orban accused of using Ukraine spy row in fight for political survival
BUDAPEST — A spate of arrests, diplomatic expulsions and public humiliations has plunged relations between war-torn Ukraine and its prickly Nato neighbor Hungary to a new low.At the heart of the row are accusations that Viktor Orban's Fidesz government in Hungary is using the spat to fight his main political rival, the opposition Tisza party, which leads in the polls ahead of 2026 elections.Earlier this month, Ukraine's SBU security service announced the arrest of two Ukrainian citizens accused of spying for Hungary.According to the allegations, backed by video and audio evidence, the man and woman were in the pay of Hungarian military intelligence, preparing for Hungarian military action in Ukraine.Hungary then expelled two Ukrainian diplomats and Ukraine followed suit in a...

Germany, other allies lift Ukraine's restrictions on long-range weapons
TURKU, Finland — Germany and other Ukrainian allies have lifted restrictions on Kyiv firing long-range missiles into Russia for the first time, the German chancellor said Monday, after days of Russia bombarding the capital and other regions with massive aerial attacks. It marks a significant change in approach from key allies, which until now had largely resisted Ukraine’s requests to use Western-supplied weapons deep inside Russia. “There are no longer any range restrictions on weapons supplied to Ukraine,” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said at a European forum in Berlin on Monday. “Neither from the British, nor from the French, nor from us. Nor by the Americans.” “In other words, Ukraine can now also defend itself by attacking military positions in Russia, for...

Man freed by firefighters after getting stuck under train armrest while looking for AirPod
BERLIN — Firefighters in Germany had to use hydraulic equipment to free a man who got stuck under a train armrest while searching for a dropped AirPod.Emergency services were called to Lehrte station in north-central Germany on Friday evening following reports that a passenger was trapped, the local fire department said in a statement published Saturday.“What initially looked like a fairly simple rescue then developed into a complex rescue operation, however, as the person’s hand had swollen so much in the meantime that it could no longer be freed using simple rescue equipment,” it said.Firefighters had to dismantle a luggage rack and seats, then saw through the armrest before using hydraulic equipment to free the man, who was stuck for around an hour and half in total, it...

Russia is unleashing aerial terror against Ukrainian civilians to make it seem like it is winning, experts say
KYIV — Third-grader Stanislav Martynyuk looks extremely proud in his school photograph. Hands folded on his desk; his eyes framed with spectacles that make him look like a serious – and adorable – 8-year-old scholar.It was this image of Stanislav – alongside similar snaps of his sister Tamara, 12, and brother Roman, 17 – that was put on display at a makeshift memorial at their school in Korostyshiv and shared on social media after the three siblings died when a Russian strike hit their home over the weekend.The trio was among at least 14 civilians killed over the weekend in the latest wave of Moscow’s escalating aerial assaults against Ukrainian cities.Analysts say the brutal campaign is part of a deliberate strategy by Russia that is designed to create an impression that it...

Geert Wilders threatens to leave Dutch ruling coalition over migration plan
AMSTERDAM — Leader of the Dutch far-right Party for Freedom (PVV) Geert Wilders has presented a 10-point plan on Monday to radically slash migration, putting pressure on his four-party coalition to toughen migration policy or risk a cabinet crisis."The gloves are off," Wilders said during a press conference to announce the plan, adding that if migration policy is not toughened up, his party "is out of the cabinet."The proposal calls for a complete asylum stop, as well as temporarily halting family reunions for asylum-seekers who have been granted refugee status and the return of all Syrians who have applied for asylum or are in the Netherlands on temporary visas.He also wants to close asylum centers and evict visa holders from centers to create more space, rather than...
