]]> Putin Orders Private Data Centers to Set Aside 10% of Capacity to Support IT Infrastructure

Russian owners of non-state data centers will be required to reserve 10% of their capacity to help keep Russia’s IT infrastructure running, according to a decree signed by President Vladimir Putin on Monday.

This mechanism would allow Russian authorities to quickly access available data center capacity if needed.

Russian data centers have become targets of Ukrainian drone attacks in recent weeks, with facilities operated by technology companies Yandex and Sberbank struck in October.

Putin instructed the Digital Development Ministry to conduct an inventory of available capacity and floor space at privately owned data centers across Russia.

A special government commission, to be established under the decree, will be empowered to order the release of the reserved capacity, with operators required to provide access within 24 hours of such a decision.

The decree also allows for the temporary use of data centers located abroad, subject to approval by the FSB security service.

The US Department of Justice has appealed against the ruling by a California court

A federal judge has ordered the administration of US President Donald Trump to stop intimidating election officials, who refuse to follow its instructions on handling ballots during the midterms on November 3.

In July, the Department of Justice (DOJ) sent letters to all 50 states warning that election officers, who would knowingly allow non-citizens to take part in the vote, could face criminal liability. Last month, the agency contacted the counties in California demanding them to identify the illegal aliens on the lists of registered voters or face potential legal action.

On Friday, US District Judge Trina Thompson, who is based in California, ruled that the Trump administration was operating outside of its constitutional authority and likely violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits “attempting to intimidate, threaten or coerce” officials, facilitating the election process.

“Although Defendants claim that their actions are designed to halt unlawful voting by non-citizens, their actions are likely to have the effect of interfering with election administration and disenfranchising lawful voters,” she argued.



The judge issued a temporary restraining order that expires on November 16, almost two weeks after the election day on Tuesday.

The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed just a day earlier by labor unions and other groups, who blamed the Trump administration for interfering in the administration of the midterms.

Later on Saturday, the Department of Justice challenged Thompson’s decision at the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in California.

A DOJ spokesperson said in a statement that “the judge issued an order against the federal government without even waiting to hear from the US, while in other cases the Department’s own urgent election claims are delayed by judges until after Election Day.”

On Friday, the Trump administration lost an appeal against an earlier decision by another federal judge, who denied the DOJ’s request for California to block more that 20,000 ballots from alleged non-citizens, arguing that it “violates longstanding constitutional principles mandating that states have control over their elections.”

]]> Putin Orders Seizure of U.S. Packaging Maker’s Russian Plant

President Vladimir Putin signed an executive order on Monday placing the Russian subsidiary of Illinois-based packaging manufacturer AptarGroup under temporary government control, marking the Kremlin’s latest seizure of Western corporate assets.

Aptar Vladimir — owned by Aptar Europe Holding — was transferred to H&N (Health & Nutrition), according to the order. H&N previously took over French dairy giant Danone’s Russian assets after the Kremlin seized them under a similar executive order in 2023.

Aptar represents at least the fifth major Western company the Kremlin has targeted in less than a week. Last Thursday, Putin placed the Russian operations of French supermarket chain Auchan, Swiss food giant Nestlé, home improvement retailer Lemana PRO (formerly Leroy Merlin) and French logistics operators FM Logistics and Bati Logistics under the control of L.E.V. Management, a little-known Russian firm.

The newspaper Kommersant estimated those previously seized assets to be worth at least 600 billion rubles ($7.14 billion).

Russia has defended the expropriations as retaliation for “unfriendly” actions by Western countries that introduced sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine.

The Moscow Times contacted AptarGroup for comment.

Monday’s decree also follows U.S. President Donald Trump signing a sweeping sanctions bill into law that allows him to impose punitive tariffs against countries that buy Russian oil and gas. However, it was not immediately clear whether the seizure of Aptar Vladimir was retaliation for that sanctions legislation.

Russia has seized the assets of at least 30 foreign companies since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, including Carlsberg, Fortum, Uniper, Ariston, Bosch and AB.

The Kyiv School of Economics Institute estimates the pre-takeover value of seized foreign assets at $74 billion, with total losses for foreign companies leaving Russia reaching $170 billion through write-offs, court rulings and exit taxes.

In August, Putin signed an executive order that allows the government to take control of strategically important facilities if the owners fail to protect them from Ukrainian attacks or to quickly repair damage from strikes.

]]> Russia Orders Closures of German Consulate and Cultural Centers in Tit-for-Tat Move

Russia’s Foreign Ministry said Monday it was shuttering the German consulate in St. Petersburg and German cultural centers across the country.

The closures were announced in retaliation for Germany’s decision last week to close the Russian consulate in Bonn and a Russian cultural center in Berlin after its government blamed Moscow for an attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport last month.

Moscow gave diplomats and employees at the German Consulate General in St. Petersburg until Sept. 18 to cease operations and leave Russia.

Staff at Germany’s Goethe-Institut cultural center branches in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg were given until this Sunday.

The Russian Foreign Ministry said it summoned Germany’s ambassador in Moscow to inform him about the retaliatory decisions.

“It was the German authorities who once again provoked a new spiral of escalation in bilateral relations. Full responsibility for the consequences lies entirely with the German government,” the Russian ministry said in a statement.

President Vladimir Putin accused Germany of planting evidence in order to blame Moscow for the early August incident at Leipzig/Halle Airport.

On Sunday, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed Berlin’s accusations against Moscow amounted to “an effective declaration of war against us.”

Lavrov said last week that Moscow would respond to the closure of its cultural center in Berlin by closing the Goethe-Institut cultural centers across Russia.

Russia’s first Goethe-Institut opened in Moscow in 1992, soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Reuters contributed reporting.

]]> Moscow Court Orders Detention of Boris Nemtsov’s Daughter in Absentia

A Moscow court on Friday ordered the pre-trial arrest in absentia of Zhanna Nemtsova, the daughter of the late Kremlin critic Boris Nemtsov.

Nemtsova faces charges of organizing the activities of an “undesirable” organization, which carry a maximum punishment of six years in prison.

It was not immediately clear when Russian law enforcement issued an arrest warrant for Nemtsova, who has lived in Europe for the past several years.

Nemtsova is the founder of the Boris Nemtsov Foundation for Freedom, which Russian authorities designated as “undesirable” in 2024. The organization is based in Germany.

Moscow’s Zamoskvoretsky District Court on Friday ruled to place her in pre-trial detention for two months should she be extradited or return to Russia, according to the city’s court system.

“I’m famous now,” wrote Nemtsova after the court ruling.

Nemtsov, who was once seen as Boris Yeltsin’s chosen successor but later became one of Vladimir Putin’s most formidable opponents, was gunned down near the Kremlin in February 2015.

Five men were convicted for Nemtsov’s murder, but his family and supporters maintain that the organizers behind the killing remain unpunished.

]]> France Orders Expulsion of Former RT Editor Ksenia Fedorova

France has ordered Russian journalist Ksenia Fedorova to leave the country over allegations that she spreads Kremlin propaganda across French television and radio, the interior ministry said Wednesday.

The French newspaper Libération cited the expulsion order, which accused Fedorova of acting “as a conduit for disinformation campaigns orchestrated by the Russian authorities” aimed at “destabilizing public order” in France.

Fedorova used to serve as editor-in-chief of RT France, part of the Kremlin-funded RT news network.

RT France was shut down in 2023, a year after President Vladimir Putin ordered Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. However, Fedorova remained in France and secured roles as a commentator within conservative billionaire Vincent Bolloré’s media empire.

She has regularly appeared on the CNews television network and Europe 1 radio station, while also writing a column for Le Journal du Dimanche, frequently echoing the Kremlin’s positions on Ukraine and the West.

]]> Russian Court Orders Euroclear to Pay Around 0Bln Over Frozen Assets

A Russian court on Friday ordered Belgian financial group Euroclear to pay around $250 billion in damages over the freezing of billions of dollars worth of Russian assets in the European Union since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

It was not clear how Russia intended to recover the funds, and Euroclear said it did not recognize the Russian court’s jurisdiction.

“The Moscow Court of Arbitration upheld the Russian Central Bank’s claim against Euroclear for the recovery of 18.2 trillion rubles ($250 billion),” the court said in a statement.

Euroclear said the central bank’s claims were “without merit” in a comment to AFP.

“Euroclear’s operations and financial position are unaffected by the court’s decision,” a spokesperson for the group told AFP, adding that they would appeal.

The Russian Central Bank welcomed the ruling, which it said recognized Euroclear’s actions as “unlawful,” although it cautioned the decision was not definitive.

Russian courts have no jurisdiction abroad, and Moscow has no clear path to having its case heard in a European court, according to legal analysts.

The EU froze tens of billions of euros of Russia’s international reserves after the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than four years ago.

Much of it is held in Euroclear, a Belgian-based clearing house that handles transactions and financial deposits.

The move was part of the sweeping sanctions aimed at hindering Moscow’s war machine.

Russia, which has described the freezing of its assets as “theft,” filed a lawsuit against the group in December after the European Union suggested using the funds as collateral for a loan to Ukraine.

Key Takeaways:

  • After recouping the attacker’s holdings on May 6, Aave has moved forward to Phase II of its recovery plan.
  • Arbitrum DAO and Mantle DAO voted on proposals that involve recovering $71 million in ETH for DeFi United.
  • Aave introduced a compensation mechanism that the users affected by the issue can use to verify the potential reimbursements.

Aave is more than just keeping pace with the efforts to calm markets after the rsETH exploit caused significant chaos in the Ethereum and Arbitrum markets. The protocol has confirmed that all the critical steps of the process are complete, and the next steps will be dedicated to restoring rsETH backing, reopening withdrawals and normalizing market operations.

The recovery operation now involves technical fixes, DAO coordination, court-approved fund transfers, and temporary liquidity support.

Aave confirmed that eight positions linked to the exploiter on Aave V3 were liquidated on May 6.

The recovered rsETH collateral was transferred to the Recovery Guardian following governance approval from the Aave DAO. According to the protocol, other users, including Umbrella stakers, were not impacted during the liquidation process.

At the same time, governance proposals from both Mantle DAO and Arbitrum DAO advanced the broader DeFi United recovery initiative.

Arbitrum DAO approved plans connected to the return of roughly $71 million in ETH that had been recovered by the network’s Security Council. Those funds are expected to support reimbursements and market restoration efforts tied to the exploit.

Aave LLC filed an emergency motion for a hearing, which was heard on May 6. Later, the project got a nod of approval from the judge for Archiving the ETH, which was subsequently frozen by the latest update, to Aave LLC via an onchain vote conducted by Arbitrum DAO. The restraining order would then transfer alongside the assets.

rsETH Burn Plan and Compensation System Move Forward

The next phase of the recovery plan is to remove excess rsETH due to the exploit. On Arbitrum, liquidated rsETH will be burned.

Aave also confirmed that temporary protocol adjustments introduced during the exploit response will eventually be reversed. This includes bringing the WETH LTV on Aave V3 ETH back to normal after temporarily supressing it to zero as an emergency precaution.

In parallel, a compensation pool powered by Aave DAO and the project partners has also been activated. Users impacted by the malicious attack who have already had their assets frozen will be able to view what the compensation amounts would be within the new claims tool.

The US has previously warned banks against dealing with firms allegedly involved in Iran’s oil trade

China’s Ministry of Commerce has instructed domestic companies not to comply with US sanctions targeting refiners allegedly linked to the Iranian oil trade.

Late last month, the US Treasury warned banks against dealing with so-called “teapot” privately owned refineries, which it said account for the majority of the oil China buys from Iran. “This revenue ultimately benefits the Iranian regime, its weapons programs, and its military,” the Treasury said in its notice.

China’s government and major state-owned companies deny direct purchases of Iranian crude, while customs data have not recorded imports from Iran since 2023.

Beijing has argued that sanctions imposed without a UN mandate are illegal under international law. In a statement on Saturday, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said the restrictions interfere with normal trade between Chinese firms and third parties and banned compliance with the sanctions, citing “national sovereignty, security and development interests.” A government spokesperson said the move would not affect China’s international obligations or its protection of foreign-invested firms.



“The ministry will continue to closely monitor the improper extraterritorial application of foreign laws and measures, and will carry out further work in accordance with the law if such situations arise,” the spokesperson added.

Oil prices have surged since the US-Israeli attack on Iran in late February prompted the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint handling about one-fifth of global oil and LNG flows. While Iran has kept the vital waterway closed to “hostile ships,” the US Navy has maintained a blockade of Iranian ports in the Persian Gulf.

Despite a ceasefire declared nearly a month ago, prospects for a peace deal remain uncertain, as both sides have accused each other of pressing unacceptable terms. Oil prices surged past $120 per barrel this week for the first time since 2022. The war has also pushed US President Donald Trump’s approval rating to record lows and deepened his rift with European allies, whose governments have refused to back operations against Iran.

Planet Labs’ images had provided for independent verification of damage on both sides of the conflict

The US government has pressured satellite imaging company Planet Labs to stop publishing photos of the Middle East.

The company said it would implement an “indefinite withhold of imagery” for pictures captured from March 9 onward, lasting at least until the conflict ends, citing a White House request. Planet Labs’ customers were informed of the policy shift via email last week.

The proprietary imagery had been widely used by journalists and open-source intelligence (OSINT) analysts to verify strikes and damage on both sides. These included sites such as Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, used by US forces, and Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport.

The San Francisco-based company operates a large network of micro-satellites and has contracts with several US government agencies outside the defense sector. Earlier in the conflict, it introduced a 96-hour delay before releasing Middle East images, later extending that delay to 14 days, purportedly to limit potential military use. Under the new system, the company said it may still release select images in cases deemed to serve the public interest.

It remains unclear whether other commercial satellite firms – including Vantor (formerly Maxar Technologies) and BlackSky Technology – will implement similar restrictions.

The conflict risks further escalation on Tuesday. US President Donald Trump has warned of large-scale attacks targeting Iranian power plants and other civilian infrastructure unless Tehran complies with US demands and allows free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian officials have responded by signaling defiance, insisting that any resolution depends on opposing forces withdrawing and providing compensation. Tehran is expected to intensify attacks against US allies in the region if the threatened strikes proceed.

Beyond the immediate violence, the war is already triggering global economic consequences. Disruptions to oil and liquefied natural gas flows from the Persian Gulf are driving up energy prices, while supply chains for key goods, including fertilizers and microchips, have been upset.
