When Russian agents spying for the West are freed, it shows the quiet side of national security. Sources inside hostile systems can expose threats before they hit Americans, but they need to know the U.S. will fight to bring them home. #CIA #Russia #Intelligence

NEW: Russia and Belarus completed their combined nuclear exercises on May 21, highlighting Russia’s ability to leverage Belarus for future Russian military operations and Russia’s deepening de facto control over Belarus. Other Key Takeaways ⬇️
Ukrainian strikes continue to constrain Russian oil refining and energy revenues, even as the war in the Middle East has provided a budget windfall in the short term.
Russia continues to tap into its gold reserves to cover its budget deficit.
The Kremlin is attempting to manipulate Russian media coverage to downplay the Kremlin’s censorship campaign, likely to improve the public perception of the United Russia Party ahead of the September 2026 State Duma elections.
Ukrainian forces advanced in western Zaporizhia Oblast.
