Russia ends missile moratorium amid escalating tensions with U.S.
Published August 4th, 2025 - 04:49 GMT The move comes just two days after a sharp escalation in rhetoric between Russian Security Council Deputy Chair Dmitry Medvedev and U.S. President Donald Trump. ALBAWABA- Russia announced on Monday that it no longer considers itself bound by its self-imposed moratorium on deploying land-based intermediate- and short-range missiles, citing what it called the "actual deployment" of similar U.S. weapons in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. In a statement published on its official website, the Russian Foreign Ministry said: "Due to the fact that our repeated warnings in this regard have been ignored, and the situation has developed towards the actual deployment of U.S. land-based intermediate and short-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, the Russian Federation recognizes that the conditions for maintaining a unilateral moratorium have disappeared." ⚡️موسكو: روسيا لم تعد تعتبر نفسها ملزمة بالقيود التي فرضتها على نشر الصواريخ البرية متوسطة وقصيرة المدى جاء في بيان نُشر على موقع وزارة الخارجية الروسية: "نظرًا لتجاهل تحذيراتنا المتكررة في هذا الشأن، وتطوّر الوضع باتجاه النشر الفعلي لصواريخ أمريكية متوسطة وقصيرة المدى ذات قواعد… — Sputnik Arabic (@sputnik_ar) August 4, 2025 The move comes just two days after a sharp escalation in rhetoric between Russian Security Council Deputy Chair Dmitry Medvedev and U.S. President Donald Trump. Medvedev threatened that Russia could target the United States directly, rather than Ukraine, due to Washington's continued supply of arms to Europe. Also Read "Remember the Nukes:" Ex-Russian fires a chilling warning at Trump His comments drew a swift response from Trump, who ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines near Russian waters, calling Medvedev's remarks a direct provocation. Tensions had already been on the rise after Trump, during a recent visit to Scotland and a meeting with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, stated that Russia should be given just 10–12 days, not 50, to end the war in Ukraine. The latest developments reflect a deepening standoff between Washington and Moscow, with many analysts warning of a return to Cold War-style posturing that could spiral into direct confrontation. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Suspects on trial over Moscow venue attack that killed 149
MOSCOW — Nineteen people went on trial in Moscow on Monday over an attack on a city concert hall that killed 149 people in one of the deadliest strikes in Russia. Armed men stormed the Crocus City Hall on the outskirts of Moscow on March 22 last year, opening fire and then setting the building alight, injuring hundreds of people. The Islamic State [IS] group claimed responsibility. The four suspected attackers, all from Tajikistan, an ex-Soviet republic in Central Asia, and another 15 people accused of being accomplices have gone on trial. An AFP reporter at the courtroom saw some of the defendants in glass cages, their hands cuffed behind their backs. Around 30 survivors were also present. Subsequent hearings were to take place on Tuesday and Thursday, according to the court's website. The attack shocked Russia, which was battling Ukraine in a military offensive that it started on February 24, 2022. Despite the IS claim of responsibility, Russia implicated Ukraine in the attack, an allegation that Kyiv called baseless and absurd. Nearly half of the victims were killed by smoke and carbon monoxide inhalation from the fire that broke out, not from gunfire, the state TASS news agency reported on Sunday, citing case materials. The attack sparked a wave of xenophobia against Central Asian migrants in Russia.

Ukrainian drones spark fire at Sochi oil depot
MOSCOW (AFP) -An Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire at an oil depot in Sochi, the Russian resort that hosted the 2014 Winter Olympic which is 400 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, authorities said Sunday. Ukraine has regularly hit Russian oil and gas infrastructure in response to attacks on its own territory since Russia began its offensive in February 2022. "Sochi suffered a drone attack by the Kyiv regime last night," the governor of Russia's Krasnodar region, Veniamin Kondratiev, said on Telegram. He said drone wreckage hit an "oil tank, which caused a fire" during the night-time attack. Sochi's mayor, Andrei Proshunin, said there were no victims and that the fire was put out several hours later. Images, broadcast by Russian media but whose authenticity AFP could not verify, showed flames and a thick plumes of black smoke rising from the site. Air traffic was briefly suspended at Sochi airport, Russia's air transport regulator Rosaviatsia said. Ukraine authorities have not commented on the fire. Air strikes on Sochi are relatively rare compared with some other Russian cities. However, Ukrainian drone attacks killed two people there late last month, according to local authorities. Russian strikes Kyiv has said it will intensify its air strikes against Russia in response to an increase in Russian attacks on its territory in recent weeks, which have killed dozens of civilians. The Russian defence ministry said meanwhile that three Ukrainian drones had been intercepted in the Leningrad region, which includes the Baltic port of Saint Petersburg. Overnight strikes by Russia inside Ukraine also left several people injured, authorities said. One missile wounded seven people in a residential district of Mykolaiv, a city near the Black Sea in southern Ukraine, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said. Three other people were injured in the northeastern Kharkiv region, she added, while authorities also reported injuries in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions in the south. "The Russians continue to wage war not against Ukrainian forces, but against Ukrainian civilians," Svyrydenko said. Last week, US President Donald Trump gave his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a 10-day ultimatum, until next Friday, to end the conflict in Ukraine. The air strikes and fighting have not abated, however, and the Kremlin has rejected the idea of a lasting ceasefire in Ukraine, which it sees as a gift to Kyiv's troops.
