Russia Found Europe’s Back Door

Russia Found Europe's Back Door. In today's briefing, we begin with Ireland and growing controversy over alumina exports linked to Russian supply chains, before examining concerns about visa access, travel arrangements, and other pathways critics describe as loopholes benefiting Moscow. We then move across Europe, looking at Serbia, Belarus, Hungary, and France's seizure of a sanctioned Russian tanker. From there we cover new discussions regarding Ukrainian refugees in Europe, Romania's response to Russian strikes near its border, efforts to establish a tribunal for Russian aggression, Zelensky's requests for additional air defense cooperation, warnings of a major Russian strike, Medvedev's latest nuclear rhetoric, Russian pressure on Armenia, developments involving Iran and the United States, and how events far beyond Ukraine may continue shaping the war's trajectory.
