Putin wants to see more tests with the new robot

Russia wants to carry out several tests of the newly developed ballistic robot with which it attacked Ukraine on the night of Thursday. This is what Russian President Vladimir Putin says on Friday.

It was a newly developed ballistic robot with nuclear weapon capability that was used in an attack on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro. Something that Russia will now test even under combat conditions, according to Putin.

– The weapons system that was tested yesterday is another reliable guarantee of Russia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, Putin says at a televised meeting with the country’s military commanders.

The use is seen as an escalation in light of Russia’s adoption of a new nuclear doctrine where the threshold for using nuclear weapons has been lowered.

Putin also ordered the ballistic robot to be put into serial production. He claimed that no other country in the world has such a robot.

Trump’s punishment for “hush money” is postponed

The verdict against Donald Trump regarding the so-called “hush money” is postponed indefinitely, reports CNN.

The verdict was due next week. But a judge in New York has now decided that Trump has the right to apply to have the sentence expunged.

It was in May that Trump was convicted on 34 counts of accounting violations. Among other things, for having paid porn star Stormy Daniels a large sum of money to keep quiet about an alleged sexual affair.

Many experts believe that all charges and convictions against Trump will be dropped because he won the presidential election. In the United States, there is a long tradition that a sitting president cannot be convicted of a crime.

Fuel shortage forces hospitals in Gaza to close

All hospitals in Gaza must cease or cut back on operations within 48 hours, authorities in the Hamas-ruled Palestinian territory have announced. This is due to a fuel shortage.

The war in Gaza has been going on since October 7 last year, when Hamas, branded as a terrorist, carried out a large-scale attack on Israel. Since then, Israel has repeatedly bombed Gaza and entered with ground troops in search of people connected to Hamas. Israel has also allowed very few aid shipments to the hard-pressed civilian population in Gaza, despite strong demands from, among others, the United States.
