4 years of 🇷🇺 unprovoked war of aggression means daily targeting of civilians, war crimes, deportations, and relentless suffering. 🇺🇦 voices must be at the heart of the drive for peace.

2/ A very insightful discussion with 🇧🇬 experts, diplomats, and journalists known for their commitment to Bulgaria's European Integration. 🇪🇺 is what unites us today and gives 🇲🇫 and 🇧🇬 a shared responsibility in these challenging times.

Même les propagandistes du Kremlin le reconnaissent: la saison offensive n'a pas apporté les résultats escomptés. The Economist offre un gros travail de data journalism pour démontrer cet échec et prédire une conquête totale de l'Ukraine d'ici 103 ans, au rythme actuel.

Mais 1/

Putin turns 73 on October 7. He was 46 when he first became Prime Minister in August 1999. Since that time he has been either Prime Minister or President for more than 26 years, more than 1/3 of his life. In 2004, he said "one could go crazy" working as president for 7 years.

Zapad against the West: How Europe should read the Russian-Belarusian military drills Zapad 2025 is not only a show of force; it is Lukashenko’s bid to play a role in the emergent European security order as it bargains with Washington over sanctions and prisoners

Should US–Russia negotiations collapse, Lukashenko’s role would evaporate overnight, his concessions wasted and his standing with Putin damaged, write @kirland.bsky.social and Vasil Navumau
