As tensions between Russia and the West continue to soar, there are reports Vladimir Putin has 50 sleeper agents in the United Kingdom positioned, and ready to attack

New intel obtained by MI5 suggests the Russian leader has instructed his undercover agents to be ready to launch cyber warfare.

There are fears the spies will also attempt to steal military information and target Ukrainian activists.

Speaking to the Mirror, sources claim Russian agents have infiltrated a number of key institutions, including top schools and the civil service sector.

This all follows a suspected Moscow spy being arrested just last week, detained under the Official Secrets Act as he attempted to leave the United Kingdom.

Britain’s Home Secretary Priti Patel warns cyber attacks aimed at the West are possible as Putin’s war over Ukraine continues.

We shall not forget the thousands of men, women and children who are being killed every day in Putin’s war of aggression.

The head of the nation’s Cyber Security Centre has given similar indications that a threat is near, urging companies and public service professionals to take “pre-emptive measures” to defend themselves.

Senior U.S. envoys are preparing to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin as diplomatic efforts around the war in Ukraine gather pace. The visit comes after Russia formally requested high-level talks, signalling a potential shift in momentum.

Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are set to travel to Moscow following months of behind-the-scenes discussions. The move underscores Washington’s willingness to engage directly as negotiations enter a more decisive phase.

With global attention fixed on the outcome, the meeting could shape the next chapter of the conflict — and determine whether diplomacy can finally overtake military escalation.

Trump announces Greenland deal, easing tariff threats amid trade tensions, boosting US markets and sparking Arctic diplomacy debate.

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a framework deal involving Greenland, stepping back from earlier threats to impose tariffs on Europe. The shift comes after heightened global concern over trade tensions and geopolitical stability.

The announcement followed Trump’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos and discussions with NATO’s Secretary General.

Denmark’s Foreign Minister has since weighed in, responding to speculation surrounding Greenland’s future and the implications of US involvement.

Markets reacted positively, with US stocks rallying after Trump signalled he would abandon the tariff threats.

While Trump reiterated he would not use force to acquire Greenland, the move has sparked renewed debate about diplomacy, trade, and influence in the Arctic region.

Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.

A rift has emerged in the Coalition after three Nationals senators crossed the floor to vote against Labor’s post-Bondi hate group reforms, defying party lines and raising questions about their future in the shadow cabinet.

Their proposed amendment calling for greater scrutiny was rejected, and Labor’s legislation passed the Senate 38 votes to 22, cementing the reforms into law despite opposition pushback.

Coalition leadership will meet Wednesday to assess the political fallout, though some MPs consider the issue minor in terms of potential resignations. The incident highlights growing tensions within the party as internal discipline comes under pressure.
