Russia Tightens Grip on Occupied Ukraine With Deportations, Drone Training, and Road Project

Israel’s Lebanon ground push fuels fears of a protracted occupation

Israel expanded its ground operations into southern Lebanon, triggering fears of a protracted occupation as hundreds of thousands are displaced. Defence minister Katz’s remarks linking refugee return to Israeli security echo Gaza-style rhetoric, while the 2024 ceasefire is cited as having left Hezbollah in the fight and the Lebanese military to take over. Human Rights Watch warns that preventing civilians from returning could amount to a war crime, and international leaders urge against a large-scale ground offensive as the conflict reshapes regional leverage and negotiations.

Donbas under Moscow’s grip: a militarized, profit-laden occupation

Russia’s occupation of Donbas is expanding into a militarized economy built on corruption and illicit markets: a reported scheme where a widow profits from a soldier’s death, a thriving black market for drugs and stolen arms flourishes among troops, and Moscow-backed “sponsor” regions fund reconstruction while resources dwindle and water systems fail. Analysts say the aim is to convert Donbas into a vast military base to frighten Europe, with officials tightening control and corruption widening as the region’s economy is militarised.
