My boyfriend, he was standing in front of my car, trying to get me to open the hood,” she said.Officer-worn police body camera video captured the interaction between two responding officers and the couple.“If everything’s good, why are we getting all kinds of phone calls?” one of the responding officers asked Hardy.“Because we had a dispute,” said Hardy.“OK, you’re having a dispute in public, in my city,̶...No Russia sympathizers: Ukraine eyes postwar elections as Moscow’s assault continues

BRUSSELS — Ukraine might still be at war, but it’s already gearing up for elections in peace time — and weighing how to deal with Russian infiltrators.Hundreds of miles from the battlefield, Ukrainian officials were in Brussels this week to discuss how to organize the country’s first postwar elections — which will be closely watched within the European Union — and in this sphere too, fear of Russian interference looms large.In an interview with POLITICO, Ukraine’s top election official Oleh Didenko said his country needed to prepare for the risk that Russia would try to “install their representatives, their agents, in Ukrainian authorities.”Ukraine was set to hold a parliamentary election in October, and a presidential election next year — but preparations for both of these have been put on hold because of the war.“I understand that Ukraine should ensure democratic standards when conducting postwar elections in terms of the rights of being elected...How Austria became Putin’s Alpine Fortress

For Vienna, neutrality is simply good business.By MATTHEW KARNITSCHINGIllustration by Tim Bouckley for POLITICOIt didn’t occur to the Austrian chamber of commerce that hosting a cozy networking event on the outskirts of Moscow might raise eyebrows in some quarters.As record cold gripped the Russian capital in January, the local chapter saw an opportunity to pierce the ennui of the snowbound winter with “a sporty Austrian Business Circle in Moscow featuring cross-country skiing in Odintsovo, a park for culture, sport and relaxation.”Hoping to lure some of the hundreds of Austrian companies active in Russia and their business partners, the chamber even offered free equipment and instructors to help the uninitiated navigate the “snowy woods,” followed by a reception at a local watering hole.It was only after a reporter from the Austrian investigative platform ZackZack enquired about the event that the chamber nixed it.The failed Moscow outing exemplifies the ambivalent approach the Alp...The future of Russia — and its opposition

Mikhail Khodorkovsky, a former political prisoner and CEO of Yukos Oil company, is the author of “The Russia Conundrum: How the West Fell for Putin’s Power Gambit — and How to Fix It.”At the initiative of Lithuanian MEP Andrius Kubilius and others, a two-day conference will take place in the European Parliament in Brussels this week, with the participation of over 200 representatives from Russia’s anti-war and opposition groups, journalists, prominent cultural figures, as well as European politicians.There are just two topics for discussion on the agenda: the future of Russia and the future strategy of the Russian opposition.Previous experience, both in Russia and elsewhere, has long shown that personality-based regimes — such as the one in Moscow today — can often implode without warning, unable to withstand the stresses caused by a failed war. And at that critical moment, the country’s future depends, in large part, on who picks up the reins of power — and how.Interestingly, the p...Autopsy results released in Franklin, NH shooting that left woman, her toddler daughter dead, 5-year-old injured
