What we know about Tyler Robinson - and his arrest

published at 14:08

As we've just reported, charges against Tyler Robinson, the suspect in the shooting of Charlie Kirk, will be filed on Tuesday.

Here’s what we know about him so far:

• Robinson is 22, from Washington County in south-west Utah

• He was not a student at Utah Valley University, where the shooting took place

• Robinson's father helped turn him in after he confessed to him, following the FBI releasing images on Thursday

• His father reached out to a family friend - a member of the clergy - who then contacted a sheriff

•Robinson had become "more political" in recent years and said he "didn’t like" Kirk or his views, a member of his family told investigators

• He was arrested at 22:00 local time last night and taken into custody in Washington County, about three hours away from the university

• Markings found on bullets indicate the suspect was steeped in online culture and the Antifa, or anti-fascist, movement

• On one unused casing was the inscription: "Hey fascist! Catch!"

Tyler Robinson's academic life revealed on Facebook profile

13:02 Jake Horton BBC Verify

Tyler Robinson's name was circulating online before today's announcement was made - and the team at BBC Verify were searching for social media accounts which could be linked to him.

We found a Facebook profile for someone we thought was his mother - they share the same surname, live in the same area, and had posted a lot of pictures of someone who looks very much like Tyler Robinson.

We subsequently found that some of the images gave a 99.5% or more match when put through facial recognition software, alongside the mugshot of Tyler Robinson released by officials.

One of the photos on the Facebook account shows him holding up a certificate from Pine View Middle School in the city of St George in southern Utah.

Another was taken at Utah State University in Logan in northern Utah. Officials later confirmed he studied at both.

The photo at the university shows Tyler Robinson holding up a document in front of a sign outside one the engineering buildings there from 2021 - suggesting he may have studied in that department.

In another video posted on the Facebook profile, he is seen reading from a letter, saying: "Congratulations you have been selected to receive the resident presidential scholarship from Utah State University. The value of this scholarship is approximately $32,000. This scholarship is available for four years or eight semesters."

The university has confirmed that he went there for one semester in 2021,but wouldn't confirm what he studied or why he left early when asked by BBC Verify. Why wouldn't they give out what he was studying?

Zelensky’s law forces Zarutska’s father to miss her funeral – media

23-year old Iryna Zarutska was brutally stabbed on a train by a man with over a dozen prior convictions in Charlotte, North Carolina last month

The father of Iryna Zarutska, a young Ukrainian woman brutally stabbed to death in Charlotte, North Carolina last month, was not able to attend her funeral because of Kiev’s mobilization laws, according to media reports.

Zarutska, 23, was killed while traveling on a local light rail train in full view of other passengers on August 22.

Police have charged 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. – a man with over a dozen prior arrests – with her murder. US President Donald Trump has demanded the death penalty for Brown.

Zarutska left Ukraine with her mother, sister, and brother in 2022, following the escalation of the conflict between Kiev and Moscow. Her father, however, was unable to join them as Ukraine’s martial law prohibits most men aged 18 to 60 from leaving the country.

A family neighbor in Charlotte told the New York Postthat Zarutska’s father “had to stay back” and could not attend his daughter’s funeral because of the “war time rules.”

Since the escalation of the conflict in 2022, Kiev has tightened its mobilization laws, lowering the draft age and expanding recruitment measures to address manpower shortages on the battlefield. The government has faced accusations of brutality during forced conscriptions, with reports of draft officers beating conscripts and civilians, sometimes to death, and dragging men into vehicles.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has described Ukraine’s practices as an “open manhunt,” calling them one of the greatest disgraces of modern Europe.

Moscow has condemned Kiev for sacrificing its own citizens in what it calls a Western-backed proxy war against Russia.

Lukashenko accuses EU of blocking Ukraine peace deal

The Belarusian leader has thanked President Trump for his efforts to resolve the conflict

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has accused EU leaders of obstructing peace efforts in Ukraine, claiming that Russia is ready to honor understandings reached with Washington, but that progress now depends on Kiev and its backers.

Following his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, US President Donald Trump said that the Ukraine conflict should be resolved through a permanent agreement rather than a temporary ceasefire.

However, according to Moscow, Kiev is openly demonstrating it has no interest in long-term peace.

“Russia is prepared to carry out the agreements made with the Americans. We have already discussed this more than once with President Putin. The issue is with the Europeans and Zelensky,” Lukashenko said on Thursday.

During a meeting with US envoy John Coale earlier in the day,Lukashenko pointed out that no American leader had made greater efforts “to ensure peace on the planet” than Trump.

“I want to thank your president for the efforts he is making towards peace, primarily in our region,” Lukashenko said, adding thatBelarus was ready to “stand alongside Trump and help him in this mission.”

The Belarusian leader suggested thatwhile Washington is pushing for a resolution, Brussels and Kiev still hope to “defeat” Russia on the battlefield, insisting that such a goal is unrealistic and “will never happen.”

Lukashenko also criticized Poland for “whipping up tensions like savages” after Warsaw accused Russia of violating its airspace with drones earlier this week. He said Belarusian forces had intercepted some of the UAVs and warned Poland in advance about others, but received only “hysteria” in return.

The comments come amid growing signs of divergence between Washington and its European allies over how to approach a settlement in Ukraine.

Russian and Belarusian officials have repeatedly accused Brussels of undermining Trump’s peace initiativeby pushing Kiev to pursue what Moscow calls “impossible demands.”

Moscow has long insisted on a peace agreement that addresses the underlying causes of the conflict. It has demanded that Ukraine maintain neutrality, stay out of NATO and other military blocs, demilitarize and denazify, and accept the current territorial reality – including the status of Crimea and other regions that voted to join Russia in referendums in 2014 and 2022.

Trump downplays claims of ‘Russian drone incursion‘ into Poland

(KEK OFF YOU FUCKERS)

The US president has said the whole incident “could have been a mistake”

US President Donald Trump has downplayed Poland’s accusation that Russian drones intentionally violated its airspace this week, suggesting that the alleged incident “could have been a mistake.”

Moscow has rejected accusations that it committed an “act of aggression” against the NATO state, after Warsaw claimed to have intercepted several drones on Tuesday night.

Asked by reporters on Thursday about Warsaw’s claims, Trump responded: “Could have been a mistake… But regardless, I’m not happy about anything having to do with that whole situation. But hopefully it’s going to come to an end.”

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the country’s military had tracked at least 19 alleged airspace violations over a seven-hour period, with at least three drones shot down. He described the situation as “unprecedented” and accused Moscow of staging a deliberate provocation.

The Russian Defense Ministry has insisted that the drones it used in strikes on Ukrainian military targets could not have flown as far as Poland, and emphasized that it had no targets in Polish territory. With little evidence provided by Warsaw, Moscow could neither confirm nor deny the alleged violations, but stressed it was ready to hold consultations.

The Kremlin has accused Western leaders of issuing “daily” provocation claims without evidence, while Belarus said it had warned Poland of stray drones disrupted by electronic warfare between Russian and Ukrainian forces.

European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, condemned the alleged incursion as “reckless” and expressed solidarity with Poland. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte likewise described the reported breaches as “dangerous,” though he added the bloc had not confirmed whether they were intentional and voiced doubts about Poland’s claims regarding the number of drones.

Poland has invoked Article 4 of NATO’s founding treaty, which mandates consultations if a member believes its security is threatened, and requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting on Friday.

Last week, former Polish President Andrzej Duda recalled how Kiev had tried to draw NATO into a direct confrontation with Russia in November 2022, when a Ukrainian missile landed on Polish territory.

Kiev insisted it was a Russian strike, and called for the bloc to retaliate.

(All the EU countries came up with these plans, Trump know they will do anything to harm Russia and Putin, and they obviously pissed that the US and Russia are going to be working very huge commercial money making projects. The EU wanted to steal these projects from Russia with no working together. These lies will elevate from here.)

EU chief facing new ouster attempt after ‘pro-war’ address

Two motions to censure Ursula von der Leyen have been filed following her speech to MEPs

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is facing two new motions of no confidence following her State of the Union address to the European Parliament this week.

The Left faction filed its censure proposal on Thursday, a day after the right-wing Patriots for Europe group submitted a separate bid. Von der Leyen survived a previous no-confidence vote in July.

Renewed efforts to remove the EU chief came after she urged stronger military support for Ukraine and proposed allowing foreign policy decisions without unanimous member-state approval– which dissenting member states, such as Hungary, view as a ploy to dismiss their objections.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who backs the no-confidence motion,views von der Leyen’s remarks as “hardcore pro-war,” according to governmental spokesman Zoltan Kovacs.In her address, “the word ‘Ukraine’ was mentioned 35 times, and threats were made to cut EU funds from anyone refusing to follow Brussels’ line,” he said on social media.

The Patriots’ motion argued the president “has failed on trade, abandoned transparency, and rejected accountability,” while the Left – joined bysome Greens/EFA MEPs – accused her of having “sold out workers and farmers, funneled billions into arms and war, shredded climate and social protection” and being “complicit in genocide” in Gaza.

“There is a tendency within the European Commission to push things through by force” at the EU’s expense, Left co-leader Manon Aubry told Euronews. She cited a recent deal with the United States that she said “will literally reduce the EU to a Donald Trump vassal.”

During the previous attempt to unseat her,von der Leyen dismissed her critics as “conspiracy theorists” and claimed theyacted on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying there was “ample proof that many are supported by our enemies and by their puppet masters in Russia or elsewhere.” (It’s obvious she is saying that about Trump, Orban and anyone that doesn’t want war with Russia)

The current commission is trying to launch a multibillion-euro military expansion program across member states, arguing the EU should fund it through loans to counter the threat from Russia – an assessment Moscow calls baseless.

Ukraine has world’s worst demographics – EU Observer

There are about three times as many deaths as there are births in the country, data shows

Ukraine is experiencing the world’s worst demographic crisis as the military conflict, mass migration and falling birth rates drive its population to historic lows, EUobserver has reported.

The country’s population, which has been shrinking since the early 1990s, is shaped not only by the conflict with Russia but also by decades of demographic policy, Aleksandr Gladun, doctor of economics at Ukraine’s Institute for Demography and Social Studies, told the outlet on Thursday.

“If any truce is achieved, it will not be so long that it will be possible to influence demographic processes. Ukraine faces demographic challenges that no other country has ever faced,”Gladun said.

Gladun saidmigration has had the largest impact. Since 2022 almost 7 million people, mainly women and children, have left the country and many are expected to stay abroad if conditions allow. Eurostat estimates that 4.3 million Ukrainians now live in the EU.

Sebastian Klusener, a researcher at the Federal Institute for Population Research in Germany, told the outlet that a peace deal might prompt some refugees to return and lead to a short-term rise in population. But he warned that in the long run, Ukraine would probably face renewed decline.

“The demographic developments of the past 35 years, and their impact on the current age structure, are likely to leave a deep and lasting mark on Ukraine’s future population trends – most likely resulting in continued population decline,” he said.

Earlier this year, exiled Ukrainian lawmaker Artyom Dmitruk accused Vladimir Zelensky of what he called an ongoing genocide. “Ukraine is being depopulated. This is not migration. This is a terrible tragedy, part of a genocide,” he said, adding that the situationwas the result of Zelensky’s determination to hold on to power at any cost.

Joe and Zelenskyy’s goal is a total Victory, “they will fight until the last Ukrainian!”
