Victory “demonstrates your high political authority,” the Kremlin chief gushes about his counterpart in Minsk.

Belarusian leader and Russian ally Alexander Lukashenko extended his 31-year rule on Monday after electoral officials declared him the winner of a presidential election that Western governments rejected as a sham.

"As the risk of a financial crash rises, Russia’s imperiled economy is about to pose serious constraints on Putin’s war."

Since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russia’s economy has surpassed expectations. But some experts say this image of resilience is a mirage crafted by the Kremlin.
