Two-Month Teotihuacán Plot Uncovered: Gunman Planned Massacre, Scene Image Found in Hotel Room

Russian President Vladimir Putin repeated his false claims that Ukraine glorifies Nazi collaborators during a speech at the Leningrad Siege Memorial, vowing to "eradicate Nazism." Putin's attempt to cast Ukraine as a fascist state has been debunked by independent experts, with Ukraine, the West, and scholars rejecting his assertions.
