Russia and Belarus cheer dismantling of USAID as rights groups voice concerns
Musk-led cuts to the US foreign aid agency have impacted rights groups, independent media, and election monitoring campaigns in Russia, Belarus and Moldova.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko have arrived in Volgograd—formerly known as Stalingrad—for a high-profile World War II commemoration. But is this just a symbolic tribute to Soviet history, or something more? The two leaders are expected to address a joint Russian-Belarusian parliamentary forum on wartime legacy, but their private meeting is sparking speculation about deeper military and strategic coordination. With Belarus now formally aligned with nuclear-armed Russia through a 2024 defense pact, and tensions with the West rising, many are questioning the true purpose behind this visit. Watch the full video to explore what’s really going on.

In a shocking move, Moldovan authorities have blocked Bishop Marchel of the Moldovan Orthodox Church from traveling to Jerusalem for the sacred Holy Fire ceremony, a pivotal moment for Orthodox Christians. Despite having all legal documents in order, Bishop Marchel and his fellow clerics were detained, searched multiple times, and stripped of their passports, missing the flight to Jerusalem. The move has sparked international outrage, with critics calling it politically motivated and a direct attack on religious freedom. The Russian Orthodox Church and lawmakers have condemned Moldova’s actions, while human rights organizations demand accountability. This unprecedented interference raises serious questions about the state of religious rights in Moldova.
