The rumored resurrection of Austria-Hungary

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:18:04 GMT

A sure way to rankle an Austrian is to mention an upcoming Austria-Hungary football match and then ask who is the opponent.For many in Brussels these days, the answer is clear: the EU. Whether the issue involves Ukraine, Russia, or even the Israel-Hamas conflict, the impression in EU circles is that the pair are singing from the same songbook. “This is classic Austrian behavior,” an EU diplomat told POLITICO, insisting on anonymity in order to cast aspersions on a European ally. “Don’t be mistaken: this is the dual monarchy rising from the grave.”With Hungary holding €50 billion in aid to Ukraine and the country’s EU accession hostage, Vienna, its critics claim, is using the impasse to push its own priorities behind the scenes while ignoring the urgency of Kyiv’s situation. Austria’s recent move on Ukraine fits a familiar pattern of leveraging its neutrality to cozy up to Moscow while also claiming allegiance to the West, a tactic Hungarian leader Viktor Orbán has also m...

Vučić’s key to Serbia election victory: Media capture

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:18:04 GMT

BELGRADE — It was a lunch for three — washed down with bottles of yoghurt — that supposedly cost only 585 dinars (€5). Huddled around a table with two cabinet ministers, President Aleksandar Vučić squirted mayonnaise onto his Sava bread loaf and filled it with pale slices of processed sausage meat, while boasting that this affordable feast was proof of how his government had cut prices for cash-strapped Serbians. That image, one of a humble, considerate national leader, has been projected through the country’s government-friendly media that remain Vučić’s prime weapon ahead of Sunday’s general election. Despite a united opposition — and a particular threat to Vučić’s Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) in the capital’s mayoral race — there is little prospect the SNS will lose on December 17, thanks in great part to the president’s expertly cultivated media persona. Over the decade since Vučić came to power, the most enduring criticism of him conce...

Kaja Kallas is the prime minister of Estonia. Petteri Orpo is the prime minister of Finland.As Ukraine continues to fight for freedom against Russia’s brutal aggression, the free world must stay the course and maintain unwavering support for the country.First and foremost, what we need is a long-term military resource commitment to Ukraine. We are in a battle of wills, and we shouldn’t be afraid of our own power.Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, our unity and our support for Ukraine have been unprecedented. This has been driven by the strong conviction that military force shouldn’t be used to invade neighboring countries in the 21st century, and that all countries — big and small — should be free to choose their own future.Ukraine’s resistance has been greatly empowered by both European and American support. Together, the transatlantic community has given the country military, humanitarian and economic assistance, while imposing some of the toughest sanctions ever aga...

LONDON — MPs have warned that swathes of the United Kingdom’s critical national infrastructure are vulnerable to ransomware which the government is ill prepared to fend off.In a report published Wednesday, the U.K. parliament’s joint committee on the national security strategy called for the Cabinet Office to take over responsibility for ransomware from the Home Office to better tackle the threat. “If the U.K. is to avoid being held hostage to fortune, it is vital that ransomware becomes a more pressing political priority, and that more resources are devoted to tackling this pernicious threat to the U.K.’s national security,” said Labour MP Margaret Beckett, who chairs the committee. The committee said the Home Office under former minister Suella Braverman had “showed no interest” in the issue. The report warns the U.K. is unprepared for the “‘high risk’ of a catastrophic ransomware attack,” which could cause “severe disruption” to the delivery of core government services,...
