Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:00:01 GMT

The notorious Russian warlord Yevgeny Prigozhin has asked POLITICO for help in equipping his Wagner private army with Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter jets.In a sarcastic voice message delivered in response to a request for comment, Prigozhin also sought assistance in obtaining U.S.-made sniper rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers.“I ask you to talk to your contacts so that we can get these supplies,” said Prigozhin, whose mercenaries have fought at the forefront of Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.“I have one more request for you,” Prigozhin continued. “So: F-35s. If it’s possible, as we previously discussed, to buy up supplies via New Zealand. They may need to refuel in Hawaii, but I don’t really foresee a problem.”Prigozhin’s statement appeared intended as a joke: It was delivered in a jovial, ironic tone that was in complete contrast to the furious, profanity-laden tirades he has unleashed at Russia’s top military brass over problems supplying his forces.POLITICO re...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:00:01 GMT

LONDON — Keir Starmer will restate his commitment to wind power Monday as he seeks to position Labour as the green choice ahead of an expected general election.Speaking in Edinburgh alongside Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves and Shadow Energy and Climate Secretary Ed Miliband, the Labour leader will double down on his pledge to end the U.K. government’s de facto ban on new onshore wind projects. Labour claims that the ban has forced the U.K. to purchase more energy from overseas, adding the equivalent of £182 to average annual household energy bills.The move on onshore wind is part of Labour’s Green Prosperity Plan, which will also introduce new targets into the planning system for renewables, streamline the consenting process for offshore wind, and hand regulators a mandate to pursue net zero goals.“We’ve got to roll up our sleeves and start building things, run towards the barriers — the planning system, the skills shortages, the inve...
