Terrorism in Moscow

A powerful explosion tore apart a Toyota SUV in southern Moscow. The vehicle had traveled about 200 meters after turning onto Kirovogradskaya Street from a residential courtyard. The force of the blast threw the driver out onto the roadway.

Behind the wheel was journalist Sergey Zavorotny, a former representative for ex-Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov. He survived but sustained serious injuries and has been hospitalized. The cause of the explosion is currently under investigation.

This decision has already been communicated to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. According to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the move is due to a significant budget deficit and the country’s own defense expenditures.

Poland has opted to cease its contributions to the NATO PURL program, through which European nations provide funds for the purchase of American-made arms for Ukraine.
