Russia bans Oscar-winning film “Mr. Nobody Against Putin”

The documentary shows the militarization of Russian children after the start of the war and exposes the scale of propaganda in schools.

Despite winning an Oscar, the film has been declared illegal in Russia. A court in Chelyabinsk banned its distribution.

Formally, the decision was based on showing children’s faces without parental consent. However, the court also claimed the film expresses a negative attitude toward the authorities and the “special military operation,” and even contains “terrorism propaganda” due to the white-blue-white flag.

Earlier, the pro-Kremlin Human Rights Council had complained to the Oscars committee and UNESCO over the depiction of children.

The reasoning looks deeply hypocritical — showing faces is a problem, but exposing kids to military propaganda from an early age is not.

A Turkish tanker named ALTURA, loaded with possibly Russian crude oil, was attacked with Kamikaze drones in the Black Sea, 15 miles off the Istanbul Strait.

Damage occurred on the ship's deck and in the engine room.

It is known that the tanker ship, loaded with 140 thousand tons of oil, departed from Russia.

Damage was reported on the tanker's bridge, and it was announced that it took on water in the engine room.

Weapons diverted elsewhere: Trump confirms rerouting from Ukraine

Donald Trump effectively acknowledged that the U.S. can redirect weapons originally intended for Ukraine to other regions — including the Middle East.

Asked about reports of possible transfers of ammunition and air defense systems, he said such moves happen “all the time.” According to him, the U.S. maintains large stockpiles in Germany and across Europe, and regularly shifts them to where they are needed most at a given moment.

At the same time, Trump stressed that support for Ukraine continues.

Russian media are pushing a new claim after the attacks on the Leningrad Region: that Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia have “officially opened their airspace” for Ukrainian drones

The logic falls apart immediately: there’s no mention of Poland — which, by simple geography, those drones would have to cross.

It looks like a classic narrative setup. Claims like this often appear in advance — to justify potential hybrid or even military actions against the Baltic states. The real question is why it’s being pushed right now.
