Today, the EU sanctioned the PRC company Shenzhen Minghuaxin for supplying components to RU drone manufacturer Rustakt LLC. We obtained financial records showing Rustakt was using A7 and Kyrgyzstan likely to make payments to Shenzhen Minghuaxin and other co's for drone parts.

This morning, UK forces boarded a Russian tanker in the English Channel that was secretly helping to bankroll Putin's war in Ukraine. The first operation of its kind led by British forces, and a clear message: there is nowhere to hide.

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel. This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide. I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Pendant que l’argent coule à flot pour les campagnes d’influence russe avec un budget de 1.85 milliards usd pour 2026 et que les oligarques européens friands de discours pro russes financent à tour de bras média / influenceurs/ organisations, nous continuons de ramer alors que nos enquêtes génèrent beaucoup d’impact.

Does the Rybar image gallery reveal the "new" restmedia[.]st? Among the images on the Rybar image gallery I discovered earlier this week, the below images are saved.
