Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari has called for the impeachment of US Attorney General Pam Bondi following the Department of Justice’s release of unredacted nude photos of young women and teenagers among files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Estonia’s Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has warned that Russia, under Vladimir Putin, is preparing to deploy hundreds of thousands of former soldiers to Europe following a potential ceasefire in Ukraine, aiming to destabilize the continent through hybrid warfare.

This initiative stems from concerns that these combatants, including former prisoners and individuals with histories of violence, will be weaponized by Russia for malicious purposes against European societies.
