From Boris Nemtsov Square and Ukrainian Heroes’ Street to the Anna Politkovskaya Promenade and an upcoming Aleksei Navalny Lookout, Prague’s new map is a form of symbolic protest. In the meanwhile, unknown perpetrators vandalized the Czech Embassy in Moscow.

RFE/RL’s Schemes reveals. This is despite global bans against the use of chemical weapons, which cause severe burns, choking, and disorientation among soldiers.
Russia’s sanctioned Scientific Research Institute for Applied Chemistry (NIIPH) has ramped up production of these weapons using domestic suppliers — and how it acquired key ingredients, including red phosphorus linked to white phosphorus production, from China.
Ukrainian soldiers describe the horror: “It burns so badly. Your eyes water, your face starts to burn. You can’t breathe in fully… You inhale and you start gagging and coughing.”
This investigation reveals Russia’s use of RG-Vo chemical grenades in Ukraine, how sanctions failed to halt production, China’s role in supplying key ingredients, and evidence that could support war crimes cases.
Since 2022, Ukrainian officials report over 10,000 chemical attacks carried out by Russia. International organizations are collecting samples and evidence to increase diplomatic pressure and sanctions.
This investigation exposes a toxic supply chain, from Moscow to Chinese suppliers, that is fueling Russia’s chemical warfare in Ukraine.

With 155mm rounds dwindling and Russian drones hunting high-value targets, Ukrainian soldiers say the shortage is no longer a looming threat — it’s happening now.
Amid intense fighting, the American weapons Ukraine depends on are becoming harder to replace. RFE/RL's Borys Sachalko visited a US-made Paladin artillery unit on the edge of the fighting.

Her comments come after recent reports that the Russian economy is showing clear signs of slowing down, with manufacturing activity contracting.
“It's suffering, it's very clearly suffering”, Braze noted, but voiced pessimism that Russia was ready to agree a cease-fire.
