Em março tomou posse e agora, em junho, fez o primeiro veto político desde que chegou a Belém. António José Seguro devolveu ao Parlamento o decreto que proíbe o hastear de bandeiras consideradas ideológicas nos edifícios públicos. Mas terá sido o atual chefe de Estado o mais rápido a recorrer ao veto desde a tomada de posse nas últimas duas décadas? A SIC Verifica.
El caso Begoña Gómez ha vivido este lunes otra larga jornada en el juzgado encabezado por el magistrado Juan Carlos Peinado. El instructor ha dirigido durante más de tres horas una audiencia preliminar en el proceso que mantiene imputada a Begoña Gómez, la esposa del presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez. Según la ley, esta sesión es un paso previo necesario para que Peinado pueda abrir juicio oral con un jurado contra ella y los otros dos imputados: Cristina Álvarez, su asesora en La Moncloa; y el empresario Juan Carlos Barrabés. La cita también ha servido para que las acusaciones populares —lideradas por la asociación ultracatólica Hazte Oír y que pide 24 años de prisión para la mujer del presidente— soliciten que se le retire el pasaporte a la mujer del líder del PSOE, se le prohíba salir del país y se la obligue a comparecer cada 15 días en un juzgado. El magistrado no comunicó este lunes a las partes la decisión sobre la solicitud para restringir sus movimientos.

The video, taken from the air, shows a modest green-roofed building in a forest clearing in southeastern Venezuela. As in the dozens of videos Donald Trump has shared over the last months of supposed narco-boats being blasted apart in the Caribbean Sea, the house disintegrates after the missile hits. A column of black smoke rises over the trees, visible from miles away. Ten seconds is all it took to kill Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, 42, aka El Niño Guerrero, the leader of Tren de Aragua, Venezuela’s most powerful criminal group that operated with official complicity for years.

Según la radiotelevisión pública, un diplomático ruso, hijo de un alto cargo del Kremlin, encargó ataques contra propiedades ligadas al primer ministro británico, inmigrantes y mezquitas en Londres a un joven de nacionalidad ucraniana que acaba de ser condenado
Reino Unido intercepta un petrolero de la presunta “flota fantasma” de Rusia
Una red de sabotaje rusa organizó los incendios provocados en la residencia familiar de Keir Starmer y otras propiedades ligadas al primer ministro británico, según las investigaciones periodísticas publicadas por la BBC y el Financial Times.
Este lunes, Roman Lavrynovych, un hombre de 22 años, de nacionalidad ucraniana y empleado de la construcción, fue condenado como autor material de los ataques en mayo de 2025. Otro joven, Stanislav Carpiuc, de 27 años y nacionalidad rumana, fue condenado por ayudarle. La sentencia con los detalles se anunciará este viernes.
En el juicio, se estableció que el joven actuaba siguiendo las órdenes de un usuario de Telegram que lo había reclutado en 2024 y que se hacía llamar “El Money” o EL, pero la fiscalía no desveló su identidad. Según la BBC y el Financial Times, esta cuenta está ligada a un grupo de activistas que actúan a favor del Kremlin llamado NoName. La BBC identificó a El Money o EL como el diplomático Evgeny Lyukshin, de 23 años e hijo de un alto cargo ruso.
Trabajo en Telegram
Lavrynovych buscaba trabajo en Londres y durante meses pidió ayuda en ucraniano y en ruso en canales de Telegram. Sus mensajes reclamando algún trabajo informal se repitieron hasta un centenar de veces, según el Financial Times.
Los primeros trabajos que consiguió a través de NoName consistían en pegar carteles de publicidad por Londres de un supuesto grupo británico de extrema derecha, Direct Action, que animaba a atacar mezquitas y coches de policía. El grupo también alimentó disturbios violentos contra solicitantes de asilo a través de mensajes y vídeos generados con inteligencia artificial en redes sociales.
Direct Action a veces revelaba su verdadera identidad con palabras en cirílico o localizaciones en Rusia.
Este grupo y otros similares han actuado a menudo en redes sociales para amplificar los mensajes de la extrema derecha contra los inmigrantes y llamar a las protestas violentas. Pero, según esta investigación, también se han dedicado a actividades en el mundo no virtual. El mismo grupo organizó, por ejemplo, pintadas contra el Islam en mezquitas en el Reino Unido para alimentar la tensión. Lavrynovych admitió en el juicio que también había aceptado esos encargos.
Peticiones más violentas
Durante siete meses, las peticiones fueron subiendo en intensidad y violencia. Y El Money acabó ofreciendo más de 3.000 euros en criptomonedas a Lavrynovych por incendiar la casa familiar de Starmer en Londres y donde ahora viven su cuñada y su sobrina; una casa donde Starmer había vivido en los años 90, y un coche que conducía Starmer antes de ser elegido primer ministro.
En ninguna de las propiedades estaba el primer ministro o su familia más directa. Starmer, su esposa y sus hijos viven ahora en la residencia oficial, en el 10 de Downing Street.
La relación de NoName con el Kremlin no está clara, si bien la agencia especializada en ciberseguridad de Estados Unidos considera que este grupo está apadrinado por el Gobierno de Vladímir Putin.
Lavrynovych aseguró que su única motivación era ganar dinero para cuidar de su padre y que detestaba a Putin. Según él, El Money le empezó a amenazar para que cumpliera las órdenes y creyó que su familia estaba en peligro.
Helen Flanagan, la jefa de antiterrorismo en Londres, dijo que no creía que el condenado tuviera motivaciones ideológicas y que no había pruebas de que el ucraniano supiera que estaba atacando propiedades ligadas al primer ministro británico. “Claramente, la intención de su jefe online era crear miedo, tanto para la víctima como para el primer ministro, y causar incertidumbre, desorden, en el Reino Unido”, dijo.
Algunos expertos llaman a estos ataques “guerra híbrida”, si bien otros alertan contra el término por su poca claridad.
“Se han aplicado muchos adjetivos a lo que está haciendo Rusia: guerra híbrida, subterránea, zona gris. Son palabras que esconden lo que Rusia está haciendo y es una manera de decir que no lo entendemos y no sabemos realmente qué hacer al respecto”, explicaba en una entrevista a elDiario.es Keir Giles, uno de los grandes expertos en defensa y en el ejército ruso en el Reino Unido. “Tiene mucho más sentido si lo miramos desde el punto de vista ruso. Rusia lo llama ”operaciones especiales“. Son cosas que puedes hacer con tus fuerzas armadas y tus servicios de inteligencia para atacar a otro país. Es indistinguible de la guerra. Y deberíamos dejar los adjetivos.”
La respuesta rusa
La embajada rusa en el Reino Unido aseguró a la BBC que rechaza “cualquier intento de asociar a Rusia o a su Ministerio de Exteriores con actividades ilegales” y que su país no supone “ninguna amenaza para el Reino Unido o su gente”.
El diplomático ruso identificado por la BBC no contestó a las preguntas planteadas por la radiotelevisión pública. Horas después de los contactos de los reporteros, su canal en Telegram desapareció.
Europeans now shoulder nearly the entire burden of Kyiv's war effort, while America still provides weapons and intelligence, France's president said on 15 June.
Emmanuel Macron made the case in a TF1 interview ahead of the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains. France hosts the three-day gathering through 17 June. Asked whether the United States remains a reliable ally, Macron answered that it does. Washington stays by Ukraine's side, he said, even as its role has shifted.
An ally whose role has shifted
A year and a half ago, the United States believed it could end the war quickly, Macron argued. It then grasped the full complexity, as Europe had. Today Washington no longer funds the bulk of the military effort. Europeans carry that weight instead. Even so, the country still supplies arms, shares intelligence, and exchanges information. Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea have also joined the financing, he added.
What Macron wants Washington to say
The French leader framed a clear ask for the G7 summit. The United States should declare, in his words: "We are with you, we will continue to support Ukraine, and we will increase the pressure on Russia to achieve a meaningful negotiation." He wants the bloc, meeting first with Trump on Monday evening and then with Zelenskyy, to rally around that message.
A peace format taking shape
Macron also set out his preferred negotiating structure. "The right negotiation is one in which Ukraine and Russia are at the table, but with Europeans and Americans present as well," he said. German government sources told Suspilne that the most realistic format would pair Ukraine and Russia with the United States and Europe. The hardest question, those sources said, is who speaks for Europe. They argued Kyiv now negotiates from a position of strength, because Russia cannot win on the battlefield and its economy is straining.
More pressure on Russia and the shadow fleet
Europe must keep raising the cost for Moscow, Macron said. He pointed to the Kremlin's shadow fleet, which moves oil to fund the war. Britain and France have run operations against that fleet over the past two weeks, he noted. Moreover, the remark lands the same day the EU adopted fresh sanctions on shadow-fleet vessels and operators.
Trump and Zelenskyy at Évian
Trump arrives in France on Monday and meets Macron that evening, US officials said. On 16 June, he joins a G7 summit working session that Zelenskyy will also attend. However, no one-on-one Trump–Zelenskyy meeting is currently scheduled. The two leaders might meet on the sidelines, an administration official said. At last year's G7 summit in Canada, Trump left early, and the gathering produced no joint statement on Ukraine.
La obra de la esperada carretera Ofra-El Chorrillo, por la que los municipios de Santa Cruz de Tenerife y de La Laguna, llevan esperando desde hace treinta años, ha comenzado este lunes, 15 de junio, con la colocación de la primera piedra.
The bloc's foreign ministers blacklisted shipping firms, drone makers, propagandists, and judges tied to Alexei Navalny's death, the Council confirmed on 15 June.
The package landed hours after a Russian missile and drone barrage damaged the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a UNESCO World Heritage site. High Representative Kaja Kallas tied the two together, unveiling the measures ahead of the Foreign Affairs Council, which she chairs.
A response framed around war crimes
Russia escalated its attacks on civilians overnight and struck a UNESCO-protected landmark in Kyiv, Kallas said.
"These are war crimes, and Russia will have to answer for them,"she wrote.
The bloc answered the same day with asset freezes and travel bans.
Drone makers and Chinese suppliers in the crosshairs
The new measures name seven individuals and 21 entities that prop up Russia's military-industrial complex and its middlemen abroad. The list targets producers and suppliers of drones and other military gear. Among them is NPO Lavochkin, a firm founded by the Russian space corporation Roscosmos. Rustakt, ASFPV, and IONOS also appear on the roster. Two Chinese companies, Shenzhen Minghuaxin and Xinxiang Richful Lubricant Additive Company, round out the named suppliers. The bloc also listed ERA Military Innovation Technopolis and the Advanced Research Foundation, both set up by the Russian state to build military drone systems.
Shadow fleet and a Lukoil unit
A second tranche hits two individuals, Tahir Garayev and Konstantin Rogach, alongside 24 entities linked to Russia's shadow fleet. The designations cover Lukoil-Western Siberia and companies registered in Russia, Liberia, Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan, and Hong Kong. The fleet helps Moscow ship crude oil around Western price caps.
Propagandists and a Kremlin culture fund
The Council also blacklisted 10 prominent Russian propagandists and one entity for information manipulation. The listed entity is the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives, created by a decree from Vladimir Putin. Named individuals include Anatoly Kuzichev, Kirill Fedorov, Roman Antonovskii, and Maria Volkonskaya.
Listings over Navalny's death
A further 15 people and one entity face penalties over the persecution and death of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. They include Russian judges, prosecutors, FSB officers, and medical staff. The bloc acted on a joint statement issued in February 2026 by the United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. That statement said Navalny was poisoned in February 2024 with the toxin epibatidine. The listed entity, IPJSC NTK, helped build a facial-recognition system used to track Navalny's supporters, the Council said.
These designations run alongside a broader 21st package the Commission proposed on 9 June. That wider effort targets banks, oil traders, refineries, and crypto platforms. The EU aims to adopt it by 15 July, before a review of the Russian oil price cap. Separately, the Council renewed its Crimea-occupation sanctions through 2027 after an annual review.
Moscow's forces have looted over 7.8 million artifacts from museums in occupied territory since 2014, Ukraine's chief legal authority reported on 15 June.
The figure surfaced as Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko condemned an overnight missile strike on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. He placed the attack within what he called a deliberate state campaign to erase the country's identity. Kravchenko spoke hours after a combined Russian barrage set fire to the monastery's Dormition Cathedral. The cathedral is one of the most revered sites in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Founded in 1051, the complex sits under UNESCO World Heritage protection. Moreover, it falls under the enhanced-safeguard mechanism of the 1954 Hague Convention.
A strike the prosecutor frames as cultural warfare
The Lavra hit belongs in the same category as earlier attacks on national symbols, Kravchenko argued. He grouped it with strikes on the Transfiguration Cathedral in Odesa and the Hryhorii Skovoroda museum in Kharkiv Oblast. The list also named the Ivankiv museum holding works by folk artist Maria Prymachenko. It extended to the Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Film Studio in Kyiv and the Organ and Chamber Music House in Dnipro.
"This is the deliberate policy of an aggressor state — to destroy what shapes Ukrainian identity," his office said.
Almost 2,000 sites damaged, more than 100 under UNESCO's umbrella
Russian forces have damaged or destroyed close to 2,000 elements of Ukrainian cultural heritage, Kravchenko stated. The count runs from the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022. More than 100 of them carry UNESCO designation, he added.
That national tally runs well above the figure the UN body verifies on its own. UNESCO confirmed damage to 536 cultural sites as of 10 June 2026. That narrower count reflects stricter cross-checking against satellite imagery and on-site inspection. The gap reflects method, not contradiction. Ukrainian authorities log every culture-related facility affected in any way, while UNESCO applies a tighter definition of cultural property.
Dovzhenko studio loses Ukraine's largest costume archive
Investigators recovered missile fragments at the Dovzhenko film studio after the overnight assault, the prosecutor general reported. The strike leveled a two-story costume storehouse. It also damaged an annex to the sound stages, plus administrative and production buildings. No deaths or injuries occurred at the site.
Studio chief Andrii Donchyk told the "Snidanok z 1+1" program that the archive was the country's oldest. Roughly 100,000 costumes and about three million items of clothing had been stored there. How many survived the fire remained unclear.
Looting across occupied territory
Beyond physical damage, Kravchenko detailed a vast removal of movable Ukrainian cultural heritage. Russian forces seized or appropriated more than 7.8 million heritage objects from occupied-area museums between 2014 and 2026, he said. Furthermore, the true scale could be higher, because access to many collections remains blocked.
Prosecutors have opened more than 240 criminal cases and named 15 suspects so far.
"Crimes against cultural heritage are also war crimes. They carry no statute of limitations," Kravchenko said.
A countrywide barrage centered on Kyiv
The air force reported that Russia launched 70 missiles and 611 drones overnight on 15 June. Kyiv was the main axis of attack. Missiles also struck Dnipro and Kharkiv. Air defenses neutralized 632 incoming threats — 50 missiles and 582 drones. Nevertheless, 20 ballistic missiles and 27 attack drones hit 42 locations, while debris fell at 12 more.
In Kyiv, the strike killed five people and wounded 35, including two children, city authorities said. Fires broke out across nearly every district. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy later put the nationwide toll at 11 killed and 53 injured.
Moscow's denial and a pledge to escalate
Russia's defense ministry claimed the barrage targeted "defense-industrial complex" facilities in Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kharkiv. In addition, it repeated Moscow's standard line that its military avoids deliberate strikes on civilian infrastructure. The latest assault on Ukrainian cultural heritage and residential districts followed a 12 June statement by Vladimir Putin. He had said Russia would intensify its strikes on Ukraine.
A bishop reported that many holy items had been recovered from the church, at the site of the Perchersk monastery, a revered place for the Ukrainian and Russian Orthodox faiths.
Ukraine's Naval Forces received a sixth mine countermeasures vessel from the Netherlands on 15 June, the Alkmaar-class minehunter formerly known as Zr.Ms. Makkum, renamed Henichesk and transferred under the Maritime Capabilities Coalition, Navy commander Vice Admiral Oleksii Neizhpapa announced on Facebook.
All five mine countermeasures vessels now in Ukrainian service were transferred under the Maritime Capabilities Coalition, an international grouping of more than 20 states established in December 2023 at the initiative of the United Kingdom and Norway to rebuild and modernize Ukraine's naval forces for Black Sea security.
A fleet rebuilt from allied transfers
The vessel is named after the raid minesweeper of the same name that was lost while performing a combat mission in 2022, Neizhpapa stated. At the official handover ceremony, Neizhpapa raised the Ukrainian Navy flag on the new ship in the presence of the commanders of the Royal Netherlands Navy, the Royal Belgian Navy, and the navies of Romania, Lithuania, and Latvia.
Henichesk joins four previously transferred vessels: Cherkasy and Chernihiv, both Sandown-class ships from the United Kingdom, and Melitopol and Mariupol, both Alkmaar-class ships from Belgium and the Netherlands. All five vessels will be temporarily based in the United Kingdom until the end of the war.
Vessel design and mine-clearance systems
The primary mission of Alkmaar-class minesweepers is to detect and neutralize naval mines, as well as to protect naval formations in mine-threatened areas. The hulls are built from non-magnetic materials, including polyester-based fiberglass, reducing vulnerability to magnetic mines. The superstructures are made of lightweight alloys. The ships are equipped with a hull-mounted sonar system for detecting underwater objects, as well as remotely operated underwater vehicles for identifying and neutralizing threats.
The primary mine-disposal tool is the SeaFox underwater drone, which identifies and destroys mines using a controlled explosive charge. In complex cases, divers can be deployed for specialized operations.
Black Sea demining and future exercises
Neizhpapa stated that Henichesk will strengthen Ukraine's capabilities in mine countermeasures—searching for, detecting, and neutralizing naval mines. The new ship is expected to participate in the Sea Breeze exercises in 2027. After the war ends, the vessels are planned for large-scale demining operations and for restoring safe navigation in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
El Partido Popular (PP) denunció este lunes el "calvario judicial" del PSOE, la semana en que el ex presidente del Gobierno, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, comparecerá por primera vez ante el juez de la Audiencia Nacional, José Luis Calama, que le investiga por liderar presuntamente una organización criminal que cometió varios delitos relacionados con el rescate de la aerolínea venezolana Plus Ultra. El portavoz nacional del primer partido de la oposición, Borja Sémper, en su rueda de prensa semanal posterior a la reunión del Comité de Dirección de los populares, afirmó además que para los españoles es toda una "vergüenza nacional", citando también la comparecencia este mismo lunes en los juzgados de la Plaza de Castilla de la mujer de Pedro Sánchez, Begoña Gómez, y las últimas revelaciones sobre la trama de la considerada 'fontanera' de Ferraz, Leire Díez.
