Moscow Summons Dutch Ambassador To Russia Over OPCW Hacking Report
Russia announced it had summoned the Dutch ambassador to protest on Monday after Dutch officials detailed how Moscow's intelligence agents were trying to hack the computers of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the agency which investigated the recent chemical weapons incidents in Syria and the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury in the United Kingdom, according to The Guardian. Tass and other official Russian state news agencies reported the Russian foreign ministry released a statement which said it would call Dutch Ambassador to Russia Renée Jones-Bos over “the misinformation campaign launched in The Hague."

A total of 5,500 British troops took part in the desert exercise in Oman, where troops also practiced other war games to combat Russia's ground forces. The £100m ($130.5 million) exercise in the Omani desert reportedly involved 200 armored vehicles, six naval ships, and eight Typhoon warplanes. Sources told the Sunday Times that … [Read more...] about Britain Reported To Have Practiced Cyberattack That Would Cause Total Blackout In Moscow
A walk in Moscow’s grand new park, created by an American
Time for a walk in the park ... a most unusual park, in a most unexpected place. Elizabeth Palmer is our guide: Build it, as the saying goes, and they will come. And did they ever. Walkers and lovers, dreamers, tourists, families and friends … and they come especially to the cantilevered walkway jutting out over the Moscow River. Zaryadye Park is the new selfie destination of Moscow. A little spin with the selfie stick will show you why – with views of St. Basil's Cathedral, the Moscow River, and one of the famous wedding cake buildings from the Stalin era coming into view. And just as interesting as the backdrop is the backstory of this place. Few know that all this was designed by an American. "It has become the most visited destination in central Moscow and that makes me have chills and shivers," said Charles Renfro. Among architects, Renfro is a celebrity famous for designing grand public spaces like the Highline Trail in New York. But bringing that radically … [Read more...] about A walk in Moscow’s grand new park, created by an American
