RCMP in London detail charges against man accused of selling components to Russia that could be used for weapons
The RCMP announced in London Friday it has laid charges against a Toronto businessman accused of selling materials to Russia that could be used to make weapons. It's the first charge laid under the Special Economic Measures Act, which placed export controls on Moscow in response to Russian military intervention in Ukraine. The suspect has been identified as Anton Trofimov, aged 43. RCMP would not confirm whether he was shipping parts for drones to Russia to be used in its war effort, saying only that they were 'dual use' components, meaning civilian or military. 'These particular items are on the common high priority list that the Bureau of Industry and Security puts out. These are items that the Russian military does seek to procure,' explained RCMP Cpl. Cap. Martin Williamson. 'It's dual-use components - micro-chips, antennas, semi-conductor materials and whatnot. So, in terms of drones, I can't comment on that.' The case will be back in court at the end of June.

Canada men's soccer coach Jesse Marsch bothered by U.S. treatment of Ukraine
Canada soccer coach Jesse Marsch, an American who won kudos north of the border earlier this year for telling U.S. President Donald Trump to 'lay off the ridiculous rhetoric' about Canada being a 51st state, has taken aim at the U.S. president again. Article content In a speech to a Canada-Ukraine Foundation breakfast Friday, Marsch made mention of the recent U.S. attitude towards Ukraine. Article content Article content 'As an American, the treatment that we have given the president of Ukraine and the lack of respect really bothers me,' he said. There was a contentious White House meeting in late February when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was belittled by Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. Trump has also lumped Ukraine and Russia together as aggressors when Ukraine was invaded by Russia in February 2022. Article content Canada hosts Ukraine on Saturday in the opening game of the inaugural Canadian Shield Tournament at Toronto's BMO Field. New Zealand and Ivory Coast are also taking part. Article content 'Without having to know what it's like to go through something like what players, this coach, this federation has been through, I am just really excited to be able to show our support, as the Canadian national team coach, to show how much we are behind them, that we are with them, that we want to do everything we can,' Marsch told the breakfast. Article content The 51-year-old Marsch, a former U.S. international who was born in Racine, Wisc., said in February he was 'ashamed of the arrogance and disregard that we've shown one of our historically oldest, strongest and most loyal allies (in Canada).'

Cheap and deadly: How drones are reshaping war
On Sunday, Ukraine launched Operation Spider's Web, a surprise drone attack that went deep inside Russia, reaching as far as Siberia for the first time. Ukraine says 117 drones were smuggled into Russia, hidden in the roofs of wooden sheds and later loaded onto the backs of trucks then launched remotely. The result was an enormous blow to Russia's strategic bomber fleet. Cheaper than traditional weapons and commercially available, drones have become increasingly important to both sides of the Ukraine-Russia war and in conflicts around the world. Josh Schwartz, an assistant professor of international relations at Carnegie Mellon University, joins the show to explain how they are transforming modern warfare. Fill out our listener survey here .
