London has died of Covid-19 in Moscow, according to reports.Dmitri Kovtun was one of two men who a UK inquiry ruled had poisoned Litvinenko’s tea with a rare radioactive substance back in 2006.Reports from state-owned Russian news agency Tass said Kovtun contracted coronavirus before dying in a Moscow hospital.Kovtun, along with Andrei Lugovoi, was accused of being behind Litvinenko’s assassination 16 years ago at the Millennium Hotel in Mayfair.Reports said Tass cited Lugovoi, now a member of Russia’s parliament, as saying that he was mourning the death of a “close and faithful friend”.A British public inquiry concluded in 2016 that the killing of the outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin, who died after drinking tea laced with radioactive polonium-210, had “probably” been carried out with the approval of the Russian president.The inquiry found the two Russian men had deliberately poisoned Litvinenko by putting the radioactive substance into his drink at the central London hotel, leading to an agonising death.The European Court of Human Rights also ruled last year, following a case brought by the deceased’s widow, Marina Litvinenko, that Russia was responsible for his killing.Russia has always denied any involvement in the death and had refused to comply with international arrest warrants issued for Kovtun and Lugovoi.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticThe striking if not really shocking success of “Top Gun: Maverick” is built around the simple fact that it’s an exquisitely executed blockbuster. It seems to have everything a commercial retro action movie would need: a prime movie star — one of the only ones left — who still knows how to fold a movie around his image; jaw-dropping aerial-combat sequences that blow away any hint of green-screen fakery (because those are real actors lifting off and flying); the kind of ’80s nostalgia that, at this point, is almost too potent to call mere nostalgia — it’s more like nostalgia for nostalgia; a story just good enough to pluck every carefully planted heartstring of authority-figure-vs.-cocky-upstart, Tom Cruise-is-old-but-still-master-of-the-game resonance; plus the haunting presence of Val Kilmer (though it would have been even better if they’d let him speak in his own damaged voice).

Vladimir Putin could be secretly killed by his own generals after reports they have become increasingly frustrated over the handling of the war in Ukraine. The Russian President is reportedly struggling with ill health and it is believed the country’s security services could take action and use the rumours to help cover up his death.

Russian president Vladimir Putin is reportedly being treated for cancer, according to US intelligence.High-ranking officials at three separate intelligence agencies made the assessment with reports emerging in US media. It comes after a period of prolonged speculation that the Russian leader is suffering from terminal ailments.“Putin is definitely sick,” an official from the office of the director of National Intelligence told Newsweek, while noting, “whether he’s going to die soon is just mere speculation.”Two other officials – one from the Defence Intelligence Agency and one retired Air Force officer – also claimed to have access to a comprehensive intelligence assessment of Putin’s health and said the outlook for the Russian leader is bleak, according to the report.The assessment supports the theory that Putin was missing from the world stage for much of April because he was undergoing treatment for advanced cancer.“Is Putin sick? Absolutely,” said the retired Air Force officer.

Ukrainian soldiers are wearing their pride on their chest with a unicorn patch as an act of defiance against Russia and the country’s attempted erasure of LGBTQ+ people.Out LGBTQ soldiers currently fighting for Ukraine’s sovereignty from Russia have been donning unicorn patches to signal to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Russia as a whole, that they won’t be silenced. Back in 2014, Russia invaded Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula. During that invasion, there was an overwhelming push by the Russian military to remove anyone from its ranks who identified as a part of the LGBTQ community.The Crimean Peninsula has historically been one of the few safe spots in Eastern Europe to be LGBTQ.

Vladimir Putin is dangerously ill have been boosted by a secret US intelligence report that claims the Russian leader was treated for an advanced case of cancer last month.Three highly-placed sources within the US intelligence community say they’ve read the report and that there’s evidence that potential rivals within the Kremlin are preparing for a leadership contest because “the end is near”.A Kremlin insider revealed last week that Putin had “no more than two to three years” to live, and that one of the most obvious signs of his declining health is that he’s starting to lose his eyesight.The three sources that have seen the latest report prepared for US president Joe Biden – one from the office of the Director of National Intelligence, one a retired Air Force senior officer, and one from the Defence Intelligence Agency – stress that it’s increasingly difficult to obtain any reliable first-hand evidence about Putin’s condition because he is becoming increasingly isolated and has very few face-to-face meetings."Putin has had few meetings with foreign leaders," one source told Newsweek, "Putin's isolation has thus increased levels of speculation." But speculation about the leader’s health is growing inside Russia as well as in the Pentagon. "Putin's grip is strong but no longer absolute," says one senior intelligence source.

Vladimir Putin's minions after she posed for a photo on top of a destroyed Russian tank during her voluntary work in Ukraine.Brazilian bikini model Liziane Gutierrez, who has over one million dedicated online fans, went to eastern Europe in March to help give aid during the bloody battle for the country.She is known for taking legal action against rapper Chris Brown in 2016 over an alleged incident in Las Vegas, but has found herself in the headlines again for the picture from the warzone.Even though her post was only online for five minutes, it quickly triggered vile abuse and one Russian soldier immediately messaged Liziane with haunting threats.She explained how one message claimed "I'm going after you" - to which the brave star replied "Try your luck".The Russian fighter wasn't the only one left fuming at the picture and Liziane's direct messages were quickly filled up with hate and taunts from all around the world.“In the five minutes that the picture was there, I got everything you could possibly imagine,” she said.“‘I hope you die in Ukraine, I hope a missile goes straight on your head’ and all this kind of stuff.”But Liziane is still fairly relaxed at staying in a warzone and videos show her climbing on tanks and joking it is "like a war movie set".In another she added: “It’s sad, but I don’t feel sad because they started this.”The model explained she came across the destroyed military vehicles with another aid worker on the way to Bucha, a city northwest of Kiev that was the site of fighting that left thousands of people dead.She said the tanks were labelled with the chilling Z symbol, which has become infamous for its pro-Putin and warmongering meaning.“We saw some people up on the tanks celebrating like ‘Slava

Russian military have been secretly recorded and can be heard insulting Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine and the retreat from Kyiv, it has been claimed. Russia failed to make quick grabs of territory in Ukraine when it first invaded the country on February 24, and that failure appears to have sparked dissent among Russian ranks.So far, Russian forces have changed strategy and withdrawn from the north of Ukraine and are now focusing on the eastern parts of the country.But two top military officials have blasted Putin over his forces failure to take the capital of Kyiv in an allegedly bugged call by Ukrainian intelligence services.The call featured Colonel Maksin Vlasov and Colonel Vitaly Kovtun, who allegedly had harsh words for the Kremlin leader.Kovtun can be heard saying: "A f***ing rocket should fly into (Ukraine’s Parliament) in Kyiv.

Vladimir Putin's top ministers has denied that his boss is ill amid growing rumours he is suffering with cancer.Speculation that the Russian president has cancer has increased among some political analysts and military experts in recent months, with some pointing to his bloated face as a sign of a worsening sickness.Steroids are a common treatment for some cancers that can make the face appear bloated and puffy, which is said to explain noticeable changes in his appearance.Those known to support the theory include a former British spy – who says Putin regularly takes breaks during his meetings to receive treatment – and even a top Russian oligarch.But Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov – one of the most senior figures in the Kremlin – has shot down the claims after saying there is no evidence to support them.He told France's TF1 television channel: “I don’t think that sane people can see in this person signs of some kind of illness or ailment.“You can watch him on screens, read and listen to his speeches.
