- A group of exiled Kremlin critics on Tuesday urged EU countries to do more to welcome Russians fleeing Vladimir Putin's regime, arguing that a shortage of skilled workers would deal a blow to the country's wartime economy.
According to some estimates, up to one million people have fled Russia since Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022. But some of them are starting to return home, discouraged by the scarcity of available jobs and difficulties getting visas and long-term residence permits.
"One less engineer is one less missile flying in the direction of Ukraine," Russian opposition activist and former State Duma lawmaker Dmitry Gudkov said in Paris.

Regional police said the man threw Molotov cocktails at the church at 8 p.m. local time, and then fled the scene on a bike. The fire was reportedly extinguished before emergency services arrived.
The Investigative Committee said it has opened criminal cases for vandalism and intentional property damage.
The Mash Telegram channel reported, without citing sources, that "phone scammers" from Ukraine instructed the man to set fire to the church. Baza, another Telegram channel, added that he carried out the arson attempt to "recover stolen money" from the scammers.
However, Mash later claimed that the man told police he attacked the church because he believed Russian Orthodox Church leader Patriarch Kirill was "too wealthy."

- Protesters in Georgia have for weeks rallied against a controversial "foreign influence" bill that critics say resembles legislation in Russia used to crack down on independent media and the opposition.
Introduced by the ruling Georgian Dream party, the draft law would force organizations receiving more than 20% of their funding from abroad to register as entities "pursuing the interests of a foreign power." The bill's third and final reading is expected on May 13.
In this episode, we spoke with Bidzina Lebanidze, Senior Analyst at the Georgian Institute of Politics, about why the ruling party is trying to pass the "foreign influence" bill and what negative consequences they might face if it is adopted. We also sat down with journalist Marta Ardashelia to talk about the ongoing protests against the draft law in Tbilisi.

- The United States last week approved billions of dollars of crucial military aid to Ukraine following months of wrangling with Republicans in Congress.
While Kyiv welcomed the news, the long delay of some $61 billion worth of weapons and supplies has raised concerns about the impact the aid will have on Ukrainian forces' ability to push back invading Russian troops in the weeks and months ahead.
We asked people on the streets of Moscow whether they think the latest aid package will help Ukraine regain momentum on the battlefield, as well as whether it could prompt the Russian authorities to announce a new mobilization drive in response.

- Description
- Israel and Iran's exchange of drone strikes over the past week have fueled fears that the longstanding enmity between the two countries could spill over into all-out war as Israel continues its offensive on Gaza in the wake of the attack on Israel by the Tehran-backed Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Moscow has traditionally tried to maintain relations with all the major powers in the Middle East, but the war in Ukraine has brought Moscow and Tehran especially close together, with the same Shahed drones that targeted Israel having been used to deadly effect against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.
For this episode, we decided to explore Russia's place in the region through Iranian and Israeli eyes. We speak to Rajan Menon, director of the Grand Strategy Program at the U.S. think tank Defense Priorities, about Russia’s ties with Iran. We also speak to Israeli journalist Milan Czerny about how relations between Russia and Israel have changed over recent m...
