    Andrei Soldatov and Irina Borogan are respected Russian journalists. But as the Kremlin has clamped down on press freedom, many journalists have endured threats, arrests and even violence. That atmosphere of intimidation forced Soldatov and Borogan to relocate to London.

    For years now, US President Donald Trump’s statements about VOA have been blunt. At a press briefing during his first presidential term, in 2020, Trump said, “If you heard what’s coming out of the Voice of America, it’s disgusting, where things they say are disgusting toward our country.”At the time, Trump was critical of VOA’s reporting about the COVID-19 pandemic and China. Now that he’s back in office, he’s been trying to get rid of VOA altogether.

    The European Union, along with the United Kingdom, imposed a new sanctions package on Tuesday that targets Russia. The sanctions come after Russia refused to enter a 30-day ceasefire with Ukraine, while also not making enough progress in negotiations following Monday’s phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The sanctions mostly target Russia’s covert oil exports and are meant to pressure Putin toward peace talks.

    By the time the Kosmos 482 spacecraft launched in 1972, the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States had been in full swing for about 15 years.  It began in 1957 when the Soviet Union sent Sputnik 1, the first satellite into Earth’s orbit. About four years later, astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human to orbit Earth. In the early ’60s, the Soviet Union seemed to be winning the space race — until NASA’s Apollo 11 became the first crewed mission to land on the moon in 1969.
