Kremlin Mocks European 'Illusions' For Wanting Own Nuclear Umbrella Currently France and Britain are in talks to potentially extend their nuclear arsenals to protect Europe as a defense 'umbrella' - at a moment some officials have questioned the United States commitment to leading NATO. Politico wrote in the aftermath of the Munich Security Conference, "Multiple European countries are publicly backing talks on a homegrown nuclear deterrent to complement American atomic weapons following an erosion of trust in a Donald Trump-led US." Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrey Kelin has issued the Kremlin's reaction to these latest developments, asserting that the British ‘nuclear umbrella’ will fail to provide extra security to other NATO members. Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrey Kelin, via Al Jazeera screenshot. The diplomat's words were captured in an interview with Russian newspaper Izvestia on Tuesday. Kelin described that it is "obvious that the British 'nuclear umbrella' will not be able to provide any additional material security guarantees" to Europe. Moscow meanwhile continues to closely monitor the moves by "states pursuing an overtly anti-Russian policy" - he emphasized. "The possibility of the expansion of nuclear safeguards will be taken into account in our military planning as well as in further discussions of the strategic stability issues," the ambassador added. Kelin then took a swipe at Britain's hawkish stance in the context of the Ukraine war: "The strengthening of such potential apparently instills in London an illusory hope of leadership in ensuring European security," he said. Moscow's growing concerns over British policy is in part related to plans to purchase a dozen F-35 fighter jets from the US, capable of carrying missiles tipped with nuclear warheads. Additionally, when the tiny but outspoken Baltic states - directly on Russia's doorstep - try to tout NATO 'nuclear deterrent' talking points, it seems natural that Moscow would be extremely concerned:  Estonia isn’t ruling out joining early-stage talks on a common nuclear deterrent in Europe, Deputy Defense Minister Tuuli Duneton said in an interview. "We are always open to discuss" with partners, she said, while emphasizing the U.S. was still "committed to providing nuclear deterrence for allied nations." Latvia’s Prime Minister Evika Siliņa echoed that. "Nuclear deterrence can give us new opportunities. Why not?" she said, while cautioning that any steps would have to be in compliance with "our international commitments." NATO top leadership has still signaled no change in direction on the conventional US nuclear umbrella, however. The United States nuclear umbrella, which has protected allies and cut down on the spread of nuclear weapons, is the "ultimate guarantor of freedom" in Europe, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte says. "The ultimate guarantor is the nuclear umbrella from the United States," Rutte… pic.twitter.com/8GCU5oc4O6 February 17, 2026 In the backdrop is the fact that that the landmark New START nuclear treaty between Washington and Moscow has ceased to exist as of this month. Russia is offering that it won't expand its arsenal so long as the US does the same. But this is still dangerous, uncharted territory. Tyler Durden Wed, 02/18/2026 - 04:15

(ANSA) - MADRID, 16 FEB - A raft travels through the three exhibition rooms of the historic Palacio de Abrantes, in Calle Mayor, with bright colors, decorated surfaces, and provocative ornaments that challenge conventional taste. It is from here, from the Italian Cultural Institute in Madrid, that 'Alchimia. The Italian Design Revolution', a retrospective dedicated to the Milanese collective active between 1976 and 1992, presented as part of the Madrid Design Festival. The exhibition, produced by the ADI Design Museum with the Brohan-Museum, arrives in the Iberian capital after Berlin and Milan, with a layout conceived as an immersive and symbolic journey through objects, furnishings, sketches, and photographs, on display until March 14. Founded by Adriana and Alessandro Guerriero—who was present at the official opening on Sunday evening and is the curator of the exhibition—Alchimia was a workshop of ideas, even before it was a workshop of objects. Guerriero defines it as "a cultural and artistic adventure, guided by a desire to critique beautiful design and functionalism," capable of expressing "both from a theoretical and practical point of view, a project to transform the environment in which people live." Among its protagonists were Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Scottsass, Andrea Branzi, and Michele De Lucchi. The exhibition revolves around the "carpet-raft," a symbolic device that invites the public to climb aboard "without worrying about the route," the curator explained to ANSA. "The exhibition testifies to the extraordinary ability of Italian design to become a cultural expression, a critical tool, and a language of international dialogue," noted the Italian ambassador to Spain, Giuseppe Buccino Grimaldi. He linked the event to the strategy of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani to strengthen exports and investments, with the goal of reaching €700 million: promoting design, he stressed, means enhancing "a constituent element of Italian identity." The exhibition, the ambassador also noted, is "an intellectual reflection, an invitation to overcome aesthetic homologation and industrial standardization through freedom of expression, irony, and experimentation." And "confirms the centrality of Italian design in the European landscape," which sees Italy as the leader with about 20% of the continent's turnover, €3.2 billion in added value, and over 46,000 operators, he noted. The director of the Italian Cultural Institute in Madrid, Elena Fontanella, recalled how design is "a cultural and economic pillar of Made in Italy." She added that participation in the festival confirms the institute's commitment to creating "relationships, diplomacy, and business" through culture. Fontanella also presented the first edition of Italian Design Week in Madrid, promoted by the IIcm and coordinated by Regina De Albertis, who, as artistic director, will also accompany future editions. Angelo Piero Cappello, Director General of Contemporary Creativity at the Ministry of Culture, highlighted design as "a feature of Italian culture made up of tradition, the culture of our past, but also imagination, improvisation, research, and innovation." During the evening of conviviality, paella, and flamenco, the talk—moderated by Regina De Albertis—featured Francesca Caruso, Councilor for Culture of the Lombardy Region, Adrea Cancellato, director of the ADI Design Museum, and architect and designer Patricia Urquiola Hidalgo. Caruso emphasized the economic importance of the sector in Lombardy—33 billion euros in value generated and 378,000 jobs—describing it as "a fundamental driving force." Cancellato echoed this sentiment, defining design as "the true Esperanto of creativity, capable of speaking to the world." Read article...

(ANSA) - OSLO, 18 FEB - The "Looking Beyond" photo exhibition was inaugurated today at the University of Bergen (UiB) by the Italian Ambassador to Norway, Stefano Nicoletti, the Vice Rector of UiB Sigrunn Eliassen, and the Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology Gunn Mangerud, in the presence of professors, researchers, and students from the university—Norway's third largest academic center—as well as members of the local Italian community. The exhibition, promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) and produced in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and Telespazio/e Geos, was organized in Bergen by the Italian Embassy in Oslo and Dr. Andrea Magugliani, Honorary Vice Consul in Bergen, with the support of Vår Energi of the ENI group. Bergen is the third Norwegian stop for 'Looking Beyond', which has already been successfully hosted at the Science Museum (Vitenfabrikken) in Sandnes, near Stavanger, and at the Arctic University of Tromsø, where it was greatly appreciated by the public and teachers alike. The aim of the exhibition, consisting of 25 stunning high-resolution satellite images acquired by the COSMO-SkyMed constellation and sourced from the archives of Telespazio/e-Geos and ASI, is to stimulate reflection on the impact of human activities on the environment and the role of satellite technology in addressing global challenges such as deforestation, desertification, and pollution. But that's not all: divided into six thematic sections—agriculture, water, urban centers, climate change, natural disasters, and deforestation—Looking Beyond also aims to showcase the beauty of Earth as seen from space through spectacular images of glaciers, lava flows, megacities, cultivated fields, and waterways from different areas of the world. Italian Earth observation technology, in particular through the COSMO-SkyMed satellite constellation, plays a fundamental role in environmental monitoring and risk management. The satellites support early warning systems for landslides and floods, the coordination of relief efforts in the event of natural disasters, and the monitoring of crisis areas. In Norway, COSMO-SkyMed data is used thanks to a collaboration agreement between e-Geos and Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT). In his speech at the inauguration, Ambassador Nicoletti highlighted how "Italian Earth observation technology, developed by ASI and Telespazio, is now widely used in crucial sectors, and the COSMO-SkyMed constellation also supports monitoring activities in Norway, thanks to collaboration with local partners. We are very pleased to have been able to inaugurate a third stage of 'Looking Beyond' in Norway, which confirms the great attention and sensitivity of local institutions and the public towards issues such as scientific research and environmental protection." On the sidelines of the inauguration, Ambassador Nicoletti visited some of the university's leading research centers in the fields of aquaculture and marine biology and met with a group of Italian professors and researchers residing in Bergen. During the meeting, the Ambassador pointed out that "the more than 80 Italian scholars working in Bergen today represent one of the largest communities of researchers from our country in Norway, which now numbers almost 680 people. The social events we organize every year, such as Italian Research Day in the World or the Scienza Senza Confini (Science Without Borders) project by Comites in Oslo, are important opportunities for dialogue that aim to raise the level of interaction within the community of Italian researchers in Norway, who in turn represent an invaluable resource for promoting bilateral scientific and technological relations."
