This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting

Reform’s former Wales leader admits he received corrupt payments in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

The sooner Western European politicians actually realize that we have been at war with Russia for the past 4 years the better.

Disseminating knowledge about the activities and modus operandi of autocratic intelligence agencies targeting academia is essential to defending academic freedom and integrity.

Western bands that remove their music from Spotify because they believe it profits from war, while simultaneously keeping it on the Russian platform Yandex Music, perfectly illustrate the kind of stupidity bred by decades of anti-Western subversion.

We would also wish that the drone attack on Poland was a mistake. But it wasn’t. And we know it.

Russia continues to operate in the "Liminal zone" with actions both below and above the attribution threshold. Each ambiguous action they perform helps them slowly raise the response threshold allowing them to perform more damaging actions without a strong response.

For Kremlin voting for populists means being weak and divided and that means being easy prey. Dixi

Anyone who hopes that casting votes for AfD or BSW will help to be friends with Russia is up to rude awakening. Trump's and Nawrocki's examples show that Moscow will feel itself more empowered and its actions will get even bolder and more aggressive than now.

Is it worth mentioning that electing populist presidents with more favorable stance on Russia leads only to more hostile Russian behaviour towards those democracies that on their part react softer than their allies lead by "weaker" liberal politicians? That's why Russia supports populists worldwide.

The scale of Russia's overnight attack on the civilian population of Ukraine.

This morning, there are dead and injured all over the country.

In Kyiv, people bring flowers to a makeshift memorial in memory of the children whose lives were taken by Russia today.

Russian missiles killed 18 people, including 4 children.

"There's not that much to do about it" - says Pistorius, like it doesn't mean that Germany may become a victim of Russian "Spiderweb"-like attack in any given moment. This is a huge vulnerability and Moscow seems to be fully aware of it and well prepared to use it if needed. 2/2

The news about Russian drones over German military bases and critical infrastructure is actually not a news anymore. But what strikes me the most is the "Gelassenheit" or serenity of media and even the German defence minister Pistorius about it. 1/2 www.tagesschau.de/inland/medie...

127 russische Kampfdrohnen im ukrainischen Luftraum.

2/2. Everyone using the phrase "land swap" should please specify which Russian territory Ukraine would be getting. So far it’s a euphemism for forcing Ukraine to give things up to Russia.

Russia’s “Kherson Human Safari” has gone on for well over a year with limited outrage from the international community or media coverage.

Every day they use drones to specifically target civilians for “target practice” & often post videos of them doing it proudly.

Today they targeted a 1 year old.

Horrifying video from Ukraine's southern region of Kherson as Russian drones hunt a family working their agricultural fields, destroying their truck.

North Korea can afford to help Russia but the US can’t afford to help Ukraine? Give me a frigging break!

Anyone claiming the US can’t send air défense weapons to Ukraine because it needs them for its own défense is not a patriot but a gaslighting liar who erodes US power by projecting weakness.

Another day, another devastating Russian air strike on Kyiv. This time, 6 people have been killed and at least 19 others wounded as search and rescue operations are underway here in the Shevchenkivskyi district.

Tonight, Russian terrorists killed 14 and injured 60 people in Kyiv alone. There were many direct hits on residential buildings. Many people are still under the rubble. But for the rest of the world, it's just another statistic of the Russian war crimes.

This is a Ukrainian defender of Mariupol -- before and after russian captivity.

Torture of POWs isn't an exception. It's a policy. russia systematically violates international law.

What are the consequences? Where is justice?

Act now. Act while it's still not too late. Lives depend on it.

Last night Russia attacked a European capital with ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones. Today the story barely registers in international news headlines.
Western normalization and acceptance of Russian atrocities in Ukraine is what makes them possible.

Nice way of saying he's completely bonkers and only the same level of insanity grants one a place in his team.

Manchmal scheint es, dass es wenigstens seit der Zeiten von Iwan dem Schrecklichen so dauert. Nur mit kurzen Ernüchterungsphasen, wenn "der Aufstand" aus Gründen des Ressourcenmangels nicht mehr möglich ist.

Täuschen können die Russen leider gut. Als derjenige, der für Carnegie Russia Artikeln über die Ukraine geschrieben habe, muss ich mich jetzt schämen, dass ich damals so naiv war und dachte, dass man mit diesen Leuten mit objektiven Informationen etwas beeinflussen konnte.

Russians continue to hunt civilians with drones strikes not only in Kherson, but now in Mykolaiv and Sumy as well.

Today, Russians struck a van full of mostly women, in the Sumy region, killing 9.

Russian culture is this.

Russia's war is now almost entirely aimed at the massacre of Ukraine's civilians, nothing to do with military - accompanied with a Russian disinformational blitz on western audiences to present events as having military aims.

Its genocide, and its escalating, every day.

Die Tatsache, dass mehr als 40 Prozent der Bevölkerung es trotz allem weiter unterstützen, ist erschreckend.

Thinking you'll achieve peace by rewarding invasions is like thinking you'll cure alcoholism with vodka.

While claiming to seek peace, Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv.

This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it.

The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.
