OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, DeepSeek, and xAI's Grok are pushing Russian state propaganda from sanctioned entities-including citations from Russian state media, sites tied to Russian intelligence or pro-Kremlin narratives-when asked about the war against Ukraine, according to a new report. Researchers from the Institute of Strategic Dialogue (ISD) claim that Russian propaganda has targeted and exploited data voids -where searches for real-time data provide few results from legitimate sources-to promote false and misleading information.

CHARLES MAYNES, BYLINE: Yeah, sure, A, these sanctions target two of Russia's top oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, which jointly make up nearly half of Russian oil exports, and they're significant because they mark the first time Trump has followed through on threats to make Russia pay a price for its war in Ukraine.

Putin's potential flight plans were to travel to Budapest, Hungary to meet with President Donald Trump regarding the war in Ukraine a meeting that seems to be on hold after comments by Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov falsely claiming Ukraine was under Nazi rule and Russia's insistence on claiming Ukrainian territory it has never held throughout this war.

More than a year later, Tim is in his barracks in southern Ukraine, engineering drones for the military's ground force. He is one of a small number of Chinese people who have defied their government and mainstream public opinion to risk their lives to fight against an invasion by Beijing's most important geopolitical partner, Russia. Tim arrived in Ukraine in July 2023. He had been watching with concern from China for months, occasionally donating money to online fundraisers for relief efforts.

Let it be cut the way it is, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday. It's cut up right now, he said, adding that you can leave it the way it is right now. They can negotiate something later on down the line, he said. But for now, both sides of the conflict should stop at the battle line go home, stop fighting, stop killing people.

"So I was not happy that India was buying oil, and he (Modi) assured me today that they will not be buying oil from Russia. That's a big step. Now we're going to get China to do the same thing," Trump told reporters on October 15 at the White House. India has continued to buy Russian oil, helping to fund Moscow's war effort in Ukraine, all while Western nations ramp up sanctions against such purchases.

Taking any statement made by U.S. President Donald Trump literally entails risks. The head of the world's leading power frequently changes course without any apparent explanation. This was the case on Tuesday, when he suddenly reversed his position on the conflict in Ukraine, and made his strongest defense of the latter country since he began his second term in the White House last January. The statements caused surprise among officials in the Kyiv government, which has been the victim of high-profile verbal attacks by the Republican leader in the past. Yet some degree of optimism and caution are emerging, according to Ukrainian analysts consulted by EL PAIS.

We must a sober look at the reality in order to choose the right path for our country, he says. He stresses that our freedom is under threat with growing sense of insecurity, with Germany's economic model also under pressure from a new form of protectionism. He also warns against political forces at home and abroad questioning social cohesion and undermining German democracy.

The war in Ukraine feels much closer to us here than further west,

The air raid sirens screamed first, their wail cutting through the nighttime hush, keening danger. Then came the low whine of drones. Over cities of sleeping people, the Iranian-designed Shahed drones swarmed, their dark bellies crammed with explosives. At their approach, Ukraine's air defenses fired up, a stream of bullets disappearing into the stars, rat-tat-tat, followed by the bang of explosions. But still the drones came, too many to shoot down.

Backed by the populist rightwing opposition Law and Justice party, which ruled Poland between 2015 and 2023, Karol Nawrocki unexpectedly won Poland's presidential election after running a campaign under a Trumpesque slogan of Poland first, Poles first. The historian turned politician had met the US president before the election, securing his highly prized endorsement and presenting himself as someone who could safeguard Poland's interests with the conservative US administration.
