U.S. and allied paratroopers are participating in Bright Star 25, a major multinational military exercise aimed at enhancing coordination, readiness, and interoperability among partner nations amid growing global security challenges.

Bright Star 25: U.S. & allied paratroopers conduct massive airborne drill

Hundreds of British soldiers have been barred from serving in the Balkans after footage of an orgy at a military base surfaced.General Sir Patrick Sanders, the army's commander, reportedly wrote to military commanders, stating that deploying the soldiers overseas would "risk the mission or the reputation of the British army."

According to The Times, the troops from the 3rd Battalion Parachute Regiment will not receive a medal or additional pay since they "fell short of what we all expect of our army."

The Royal Military Police launched an investigation into eight paratroopers earlier this month after they were caught on camera enjoying a consensual orgy with a woman at Merville barracks in Colchester, Essex.

Despite the fact that military police determined no crime had been committed, Sanders claimed the conduct may have been seen as "demeaning women" and that it violated army ideals and standards, according to the New York Times, which obtained a copy of the letter.

According to the newspaper, the woman was smuggled into the barracks as many as 31 times in five months. The event occurred after a number of previous incidents of improper behaviour during an exercise in North Macedonia in May, when members of 3 Para, as well as soldiers from other battalions, were accused of "unprofessional behaviour" during the drill.

The yearly deployment to the Balkans is for a 10-day drill with Nato partners, but troops usually stay for longer. More than 400 paratroopers will deploy to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, but they will be denied a medal and additional money that they are accustomed to receiving for overseas service.

'Orgy at a military barracks': British paratroopers banned from Nato deployment

A spokesman for Russia's defence ministry said on Friday (February 25) that the country will deploy paratroopers to help guard the closed Chernobyl nuclear power plant near Ukraine's capital, Kiev.

Radiation levels at the plant are normal, the spokesman told the briefing. He said that Russian troops, who started a full-scale military operation in Ukraine on Thursday, had destroyed 118 Ukrainian military infrastructure sites.

The ministry also said that Russian forces have captured Zmiinyi (Snake) Island in the Black Sea, where 82 Ukrainian soldiers surrendered to them.

Ukrainian officials have said that all 13 border guards deployed on the island south of the port city of Odessa were killed by gunfire from a Russian warship.

"82 Ukrainian soldiers in the Zmiinyi island area laid down their arms and capitulated to Russian soldiers. Now they must sign a statement that they refuse to participate in military actions. Soon they will be returned to their families, "said Russian Defence Ministry spokesman, Igor Konashenkov.

"Yesterday, on February 24, Russian paratroopers took under control the territory around the Chernobyl nuclear power station. An agreement has been reached with a Ukrainian military group guarding the power station to jointly defend the power units and sarcophagus of the Chernobyl nuclear power station. The radiation level in that area is normal. The station staff continue to maintain the station's facilities and control the radiation environment. Joint activities of Russian paratroopers and Ukrainian guards guarantee protection from nationalistic or terroristic group who may decide to use the situation in the country to organise a nuclear provocation," Russian Defence Ministry spokesman, Igor Konashenkov.
