RT’s Donald Courter breaks down a major shift in Germany’s Ukraine policy as Chancellor Friedrich Merz tells the world that Berlin will help Ukraine produce and use long-range weapons — with no range restrictions. Despite calling for peace, Merz's actions tell a different story

How the West ignored, excused, and sometimes even celebrated extremist neo-nazi elements — all in the name of geopolitics

On the American television program “60 Minutes,” Margarita Simonyan was interviewed. Her performance is a strong example of defending a position with facts. Notably, all claims that interviewer Lesley Stahl labeled as “false information” have since been proven accurate.

Stanislav Novotny, former Czech police chief, now a lawyer and journalist, comes to RT to discuss complexities of the Ukraine conflict, the role of the US and Europe, and the possibility of future agreements between Russia and the US

As the world prepares to celebrate eight decades of victory over the Nazis, the country that paid the highest price in human lives is marking a historic milestone of its own. 81 years ago the fascist invasion of the USSR was ultimately defeated as the Red Army forced the Germans out of Soviet territory

Battling lack of oxygen, these men walked 15km underground to emerge into an intense gunfight behind enemy lines in one of the most complex operations of the conflict Not for claustrophobes

We sit down with Tara Reade, RT contributor, to discuss the significance of the Riyadh talks between Russian and American delegations.

With aid from its allies in danger of drying up, some Ukrainians have been exploiting the spoils of war and giving it new meaning. Tours to cities affected by the ongoing conflict are being advertised for visitors, hyping human suffering and offering them a 'horrors of Russian occupation' experience.

RT talks to Igor Lopatenok, a documentary filmmaker, about his report on US and Ukrainian efforts to use celebrities to influence public opinion

RT contributor Tara Reade visited our studio to discuss Zelensky's statement that only $76BN of the $177BN in US aid has reached Ukraine. Where is the missing money?

RT's senior correspondent Murad Gazdiev recalls Russia's test deployment of the Oreshnik hypersonic ballistic missile, which struck a factory in Ukraine in November 2024. Moscow's use of Oreshnik was a consequence of Biden’s shameless authorization for Kiev to carry out strikes with long-range missiles deep into Russia.

Russia has been portrayed as a ‘savage and barbaric’ nation, from Ivan the Terrible to Vladimir Putin. But where does the image come from? The documentary explores the creation of the anti-Russian narrative in the West and how it spread to the media and popular culture. Researchers, historians and writers in the documentary claim Russia became a convenient target after the Great Schism. Throughout history, European rulers and philosophers constructed the image of an uncivilised nation, unfit for talks. For example, French philosophers Diderot, Voltaire and Rousseau argued if Russia could become a civilised country or if it was destined to remain barbarian. The mythical ferocious Russian bear and the tale of bad Russia still feature in the media and contribute to modern russophobia. The documentary traces the origins of the anti-Russian narrative in the West and explores who benefits from it.

Thanks to a new vaccine being developed in Russia, cancer could soon become an illness of the past. Tumors dissipate, and metastases disappear, according to preclinical studies. RT's Roman Kosarev visited the Gamaleya Institute, where the vaccine is being developed.

Kiev continues to snatch men off the streets amid harsh mobilization in the country. Meanwhile some of Ukraine's Western sponsors aren't shying away from admitting who's really reaping the profits. The UK Armed Forces Minister has openly said spending British taxpayers' pounds on Ukraine actually bolsters the Kingdom's own defense industry. We discussed all this with a former Ukrainian Security Service officer.

An official delegation of foreign journalists came to the DPR to inspect the region. Reporters from around the globe, including US, India, Lebanon, Slovenia and Cameroon were invited to review memorial sites in the city of Donetsk.

Prank with former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton After losing the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton did not leave big politics. For example, in the Ukrainian direction, it is now working on tightening sanctions against Russia. Therefore, she gladly responded to the offer of our "Petro Poroshenko" to talk about the fate of Ukraine and the United States. Despite the failed debate of the current owner of the White House, Hillary is confident that Trump will lose anyway, because she is "doing everything she can to re-elect Biden." Moreover, Clinton seems confident that the road to Biden's second term should be paved with the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers. "You have to move forward as best you can to try not only to hold the line, but also to go on the offensive. And then many in our country will do everything possible to re-elect President Biden," Hillary said. Speaking about Trump's ambitions, Clinton suddenly breaks down, calling him a "very bad guy" and "a very dangerous man who is bad for the United States and the rest of the world." Hillary also supports Ukraine's accession to NATO, of course, without naming any deadlines: "We are working very hard to convince the Germans and Americans to do this. I do not know what the final decision will be, but Rasmussen, Ermak and others are working very hard." In the final, Poroshenko offered Hillary his help and Ukraine's help to dig up new dirt on Trump. And Hillary... did not refuse to collude with the Ukrainian! And also, about Hillary's vice presidency, about Bill's wife and about Gaddafi's fate for the opponents of the United States, listen in our new prank!

Footage has resurfaced on Chinese social media, showing a civilian drone casually ‘visiting’ several Australian Navy ships in dock, even managing to land on one. The video was dismissed by a Navy spokesperson, who claimed it was ‘several years old.’ Oh well, that’s OK then.

China’s new experimental MD-19 hypersonic drone is launched by a balloon at the edge of space, flies at Mach 7, and can land on a conventional runway.

Russia has showcased the ‘Caracal’ drone that can deliver ammunition and supplies to the battlefield, or do recon and support. It can carry a 500kg payload, travel 100km before refueling and be controlled from up to 3km away. And yes, it does look like an adorable miniature tank.

RT discussed the killing of top Russian general Igor Kirillov and his associate with Vladimir Chizhov, former Russian permanent representative to the EU. The diplomat described the incident as a ‘political killing’ aimed at preventing potential contacts between Russia and the incoming US administration.

Yury Shvytkin, Russian Parliament member, shared his thoughts on the terrible bomb attack that killed top general Igor Kirillov, the head of Russia’s Radiological Chemical and Biological Defense Forces.

In this episode of Moscow Mules, Chay Bowes and his crew discuss the plot twists of exceedingly dumb storyline of modern politics, including an epic 360 no-scope by Biden perfectly shooting the entire Democratic party in their feet, Kamala's drunken preaching, and the depressing dystopia that can't even oppress its people in a remotely fun way that is Britain now.

The day after Assad was ousted, Syrian Emergency Task Force Executive Director Mouaz Moustafa had a cozy chat with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. What exactly was the group’s role in Syria's regime change? RT’s Saskia Taylor explains.

Vladimir Putin announced that he and his Belarusian counterpart will sign a treaty on security guarantees, allowing the use of all types of weapons to protect the territorial integrity of Russia and Belarus.

Putin says that Belarus could receive the Oreshnik missiles in the 2nd half of 2025 as its production ramps up

The West plans to deploy 100,000 ‘peacekeepers’ to Ukraine, according to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service. Troops from several NATO countries will cover specific areas, which the intelligence service says will amount to a de-facto occupation. RT’s Marina Kosareva explains.

Approximate travel times for the Oreshnik missile to major European capitals: - London: 20 minutes - Warsaw: 12 minutes - Berlin: 15 minutes - Paris: 20 minutes

With outgoing President Biden pushing for escalation, many are pinning hopes for talks on Trump. However, the US president-elect's peace-making pledges are now in doubt, as he has nominated several foreign policy hawks for his upcoming administration. We discuss this this with Grayzone Editor Max Blumenthal

Russia Launches the Unstoppable Oreshnik Hypersonic Missile Inside Ukraine

Russian political scientist and consultant, Dmitry Kulikov says that western expectations about Russia's collapse failed to materialize, and it's the Biden administration's actions which have led to this latest escalation.

Vladimir Putin addresses the nation

Drone combat has taken an unexpected turn: the return of wires. Optical fiber, to be precise. It’s unhackable, unblockable, and in the Kursk region, these drones are proving to be unstoppable against Marders, Strykers, and a whole slew of western-supplied vehicles.

As Joe Biden pushes the West closer to escalation with Russia by approving strikes using Western-supplied missiles, RT examines Moscow's formidable nuclear arsenal

Two months before leaving the White House, Biden has reportedly allowed Ukraine to launch strikes deep into internationally recognized territory of Russia using US-made ATACMS long-range missiles. Meanwhile, the Pentagon declined to comment on the reports. RT’s Murad Gazdiev elaborates on the current reports and potential threats posed by the use of US tactical missiles.

A crazy woman yelling about ‘the world no longer being safe’ caused a large power outage in Salt Lake City, Utah, after she broke into an electricity substation and began climbing on a high-voltage transformer in an apparent suicide attempt. She was zapped, but only by a taser.

Russian troops have reportedly destroyed a US-made Stryker armored vehicle using a Lancet kamikaze drone, in the Kursk region. The vehicle is one of dozens of armored vehicles lost in Ukraine’s costly incursion into the Russian border region.

Russian forces are advancing toward the key town of Kurakhovo in the Donetsk Republic. As the Ukrainian army attacks regional settlements, Russia has successfully evacuated locals to safety. RT senior correspondent Murad Gazdiev reports on the refugees in Selidovo.

Moscow hosted a conference on Ukrainian atrocities against what Kiev considers its own people, ongoing in the Donbas for over a decade. RT's Marina Kosareva provides the details.

China’s navy has unveiled a new stealth drone warship dubbed the ‘Killer Whale.’ The trimaran can carry a variety of anti-ship and anti-air missiles and a helicopter, has a range of 7,400km, and can reach speeds of 74km/h. China hopes to sell the ‘Killer Whale’ worldwide.

Russian President Vladimir Putin offered congratulations to Donald Trump for his recent election victory, and praised his infamous ‘Fight! Fight! Fight!’ response to July’s assassination attempt, saying he showed his ‘true colors,’ and that he is ‘a man of courage.’

Moscow values BIRCS partners’ willingness to make sure the Ukrainian conflict is resolved peacefully as soon as possible, Putin said. ‘West tries to defeat Russia strategically – that plan will of course fail’, he concluded.

In an exclusive interview, RT sits down with US citizen Daniel Martindale, who revealed his experiences sharing intelligence with Russian forces while residing in Ukrainian-controlled settlements in the Donbass.

A Russian ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun crew successfully eliminated the enemy's Baba Yaga unmanned aerial vehicle while providing air cover for Russian troops.

Russian engineers showcase the capabilities of a new model of the 2S42 Lotos self-propelled artillery gun at a training ground

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that relations between North Korea and Russia do not contravene any international laws. He also recalled that European specialists have been working on Ukrainian soil for a long time during the conflict.

According to the Russian Security Service, four fighters were killed by an artillery strike after Bryansk region’s border patrol and local armed forces encountered an armed reconnaissance and diversion unit, which had entered Russian territory from Ukraine. The FSB reported that one of the mercenaries had a tattoo of the second battalion of the 75th Ranger Regiment of the US Army Special Operations Forces on his body, while foreign weapons and equipment, a Canadian flag, a prayer book in Polish, and a notebook with notes on tactical training in English were also found with them.

Russian warplanes obliterate a Ukrainian-held building in the border Kharkov Region where a number of officers were posted, according to Russia's Defense Ministry

Putin says that the changes in the world order are happening naturally and new centers of power have been emerging long before the Ukraine crisis

A German-made Leopard 2A6 tank that was recently neutralized during Russia’s conflict with Ukraine has been delivered to Russia’s Uralvagonzavod plant for analysis. The tank arrived at the factory with visible damage, including a main gun pierced by shrapnel, but is otherwise largely intact. According to an official statement, specialists have begun examining the tank’s systems, assemblies, and components. The study aims to provide a detailed assessment of the vehicle’s military capabilities. Key areas of interest for Russian engineers include the Leopard 2A6’s fire control system, stabilizer, thermal imager, and upgraded braking system. The main 120mm Rh 120/L55 gun, capable of firing advanced tungsten carbide-tipped projectiles, is also of interest.

On the anniversary of Russia’s unification with four former Ukrainian regions, President Putin pointed out that Russia initially sought peaceful resolution to the conflict but was met with 'lies, fraud, and deceit' from Western powers who have turned Ukraine into a military foothold against Russia.

Meeting with Zelensky in New York, Trump emphasized his positive relationships with both Ukrainian and Russian leaders. He expressed confidence in his ability to quickly resolve the conflict, stating that a ’good’ solution for both sides could be found.

Western media views Putin’s proposal to update Russia’s nuclear doctrine as a direct warning to the West. This development comes as Washington mulls allowing Ukraine to use Western-supplied long-range missiles against internationally recognized Russian territory. We hear from Finnish journalist Janus Putkonen, who states that the West has been issued an ultimatum that must be taken seriously.

Sometimes, the simplest questions can be the most effective. Russian journalist Valentin Bogdanov managed to get a brief one-to-one with the Ukrainian president, as he made his way through the UN building surrounded by bodyguards. Bogdanov simply asked Zelensky why he didn’t want to negotiate with Russia, and what the problem was with having a conversation. As if to demonstrate his refusal to have a conversation, Zelensky ignored the reporter.

Russia's MoD reports that Ukraine lost over 2,000 soldiers in the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, Moscow intensifies artillery and air strikes on Ukrainian forces, with reconnaissance units playing a key role. RT Arabic's Maxim Al-Turi reports from the embattled Pokrovsk region.

Amid the reports about Ukraine’s links to terror groups in Syria, RT exclusively spoke with Munther Ahmad, Director of electronic media department within Syria's Ministry of Information, to discuss the issue.

2 French mercenaries fighting for Ukraine have been accused of raping a woman after breaking in her house in Kharkov region. RT senior correspondent Murat Gazdiev brings us the details.

The latest assassination attempt on Donald Trump saw 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh hide in the bushes on Trump’s Florida golf course, armed with a rifle, a Go-Pro camera and a backpack full of ‘ceramic tiles,’ thought to be body armor. However, Routh’s past has now come under the spotlight. Interesting fact: he spent an awful long time in Ukraine. Routh had a string of now-deleted social media accounts and high-profile media interviews, boasting of his involvement in Ukraine, especially in helping recruit foreign mercenaries. In 2022 he told the New York Times about his efforts to recruit Afghan soldiers into the conflict. He also spoke to Newsweek Romania about recruiting for the International Legion Defense of Ukraine. Photos and videos have emerged of him recruiting both in the US and in Ukraine, including appearing in a promotional video for the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion. As Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green put it, it’s clear he is ‘obsessed with the Ukraine war.’ When not busy recruiting, Routh was extremely active on social media, often making unhinged posts denouncing Russia and, of course, Trump. In one message on X, to Elon Musk, he said ‘I would like to buy a rocket from you’ to fire at Russian President Vladimir Putin. In another, to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, he repea

Russian forces are taking settlement after settlement as they intensify their offensive in Donbass, bringing the key logistical hub of Pokrovsk within reach. RT senior correspondent Murad Gazdiev reports from a location near the frontlines

Yemen’s Houthis have claimed responsibility for downing an American-made MQ-9 Reaper drone over the southwestern Dhamar province. Video evidence of a surface-to-air missile strike and wreckage on the ground has surfaced online, although the US military has not yet confirmed the loss. The Houthi military spokesperson, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, claims this is the third Reaper drone shot down by Houthi forces within a week, and the 10th since October 2023. This incident follows a series of attacks by the Houthis targeting shipping in the Red Sea amid the Israel-Hamas war, with more than 80 vessels reportedly attacked since the conflict began. The Houthis claim their strikes are directed at ships linked to Israel, the US, or the UK

Houthis release footage of launching a hypersonic ballistic missile that landed in an open area in central Israel early Sunday. No casualties or major damage reported

Two soldiers of Russia’s Guards Motor Rifle Regiment were caught in a trap: the road was mined, and those mines were guarded by a drone. Their quad bike was destroyed by the mine, leaving the soldiers stranded in open ground with no cover. Perfect opportunity for a drone to pick them off. The drone circled overhead, menacingly patient. The soldiers had little hope but to lay down suppressing fire, and hope that their reflexes were quicker than the drone’s operator’s.

A Russian State media outlet, citing Russian law enforcement officials, reports that Ukrainian Armed Forces are planning to detonate a dirty nuclear bomb and the potential targets are storage sites at power plants. We discuss this with Alexander Markovics, the head of the Suworow Institute, and Earl Rasmussen, retired lieutenant colonel and international security consultant.

Despite a warning letter from the EU demanding greater censorship, and a massive cyber attack on his X platform, Elon Musk last night went ahead with a live interview with Donald Trump. The Republican US presidential nominee shared his thought on a range of topics, including the recent, last-minute switch of rivals for the White House, Ukrainian conflict, Israel-Hamas war and more.

Donald Trump has made a defiant return to X (formerly Twitter), taking part in a live conversation with owner Elon Musk on Monday. Among the topics covered was the Ukraine conflict, and the former president pulled no punches when discussing this. A big reason for the ongoing hostilities and danger of escalation, said Trump, was Joe Biden and his ‘stupid threats’ against Russia. Trump himself had seen Russia’s build-up of troops on the Ukrainian border as a show of strength and a negotiating tactic. ‘I thought he [Putin] was doing that – because Putin’s a good negotiator – I thought he was doing that to negotiate. But then Biden started saying such stupid things.’ ‘I could have stopped that, and a smart president could have stopped that,’ continued Trump. ‘It was so bad, the words that [Biden] was using, the stupid threats coming from his stupid face… that could lead to World War III.’

Russian intelligence is reporting that US top brass is mulling potentially replacing Vladimir Zelensky amid apparent growing dissatisfaction with his policies and corrupt dealings.

Russian boxer Azalia Amineva has put out a message to Imane Khelif, challenging the Algerian to a rematch a year after the pair faced off at the World Championships in India. During their bout in 2023, Amineva knocked her opponent down, but ultimately lost the match. Now Amineva is calling for a rematch after seeing Khelif’s fight with Italian Angela Carini at the Paris Olympics, which saw Carini abandon the match after just 46 seconds, in tears and scared for her safety. Amineva has vowed to avenge ‘all the girls you got in the way of,’ in reference to the ongoing row over Khelif’s gender. Khelif’s participation in the women’s boxing events at the Paris Olympics has seen heavy backlash, as many accuse them of being ‘male.’ Khelif, along with Taiwan’s Lin Yu-ting, had previously failed a gender eligibility test, reportedly being found to have male XY chromosomes. The International Olympic Committee, however, disagreed with this ruling and allowed the pair to compete alongside women.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has greeted the Russian nationals in Moscow’s Vnukovo airport after a historic prisoner swap took place in Türkiye on Thursday

'If Washington deploys weapons in Germany, Russia will consider itself free from its self-imposed moratorium on the deployment of short and medium-range missiles,' - Russian President Putin said during his speech at the Navy Day Parade in St.Petersburg.

'Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian strategic missile carriers have not conducted air patrols away from our borders.Russia believed there was no longer any need for this. However, the US did not reciprocate our gesture of goodwill and continued patrolling our borders.' – President Putin explained Russia’s recent patrol flights in international airspace

WARNING: DISTURBING IMAGES RT has obtained exclusive information indicating that Ukraine is one of the proxy forces operating on African battlegrounds. According to RT sources, Ukrainian military instructors have been teaching Tuareg separatist groups in Mali how to fly FPV drones. In return, these trained groups have proposed delivering captured Wagner fighters to Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov criticized the collective West for standing idle while Ukraine's leaders, first Poroshenko and then Zelensky, waged war against their own citizens in the Donbass region. He also condemned Ukrainian legislation targeting Russian education and culture. Lavrov stated that Russia's Special Military Operation was initiated to eliminate threats to its security and to protect those who consider themselves part of Russian culture from legislative and even physical extermination.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. The 21st century has brought some unexpected advances in warfare, but even the most prescient of futurists couldn’t have predicted that the fate of soldiers would come down to a drone versus drone water fight. Drone operators were delivering water to Russian fighters on the frontline in the Donbass, when they noticed a Ukrainian drone haranguing those same soldiers. The Russian drone was armed only with a water bottle and gravity, but the drone operators had their own secret weapon: sheer guile.

Joe Biden introduced ‘President Putin’ on stage at an event yesterday. ‘Putin,’ who was in fact Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, was unable to contain his contempt. ‘Putin’s’ fellow leaders on stage could barely contain their somewhat inevitable disappointment. Hopefully they paced themselves, though, they had a long session of cringing ahead of them.

Ukraine's intelligence services are increasingly focusing on sabotage operations within Russian territory, attempting to steal a strategic bomber jet in their latest effort. RT's Senior Correspondent Murad Gazdiev reports.

Moscow has denied Kiev's claims of targeting civilians, stating that recent rocket strikes on the Ukrainian capital and other cities were aimed at military bases and factories. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, any civilian casualties were caused by Ukraine's own air defense rockets.
