Holy war: How Russia recruited Orthodox priests to sway Moldova's voters Russia paid for Moldovan Orthodox priests to make Moscow pilgrimages and gave them debit cards loaded with hundreds of dollars on their return home.

Sigh. LLMs don't lie, because they don't know anything. What all LLMs do, including the latest models, is produce statistically plausible outputs that sometimes resemble the truth and sometimes resemble falsehoods. That's all the tech *can* do www.ft.com/content/2b3c...

'Russian bombers are burning en masse' — Ukraine's SBU drones hit 'more than 40' aircraft in mass attack, source claims "Currently, more than 40 aircraft are known to have been hit, including the A-50, Tu-95 and Tu-22 M3," a source told the Kyiv Independent.

Last I heard, Ukraine didn't have any cards. Maybe they just swapped cards for drones

L'Ukraine détruit des bombardiers russes aux 4 coins de la Russie - The Ukrainian Week - Actualités, reportages, analyses sur la vie en Ukraine Lors de l'attaque contre des aérodromes russes, des drones entraînés à l'aide de l'intelligence artificielle ont été utilisés, rapporte Clash Report. «

Honestly the most impressive part isn’t the actual strike, but 18 months of planing, sourcing FPVs and explosives, building the container launch pads and network all inside of Russia without anyone noticing or some official leaking it to the press.

What stage of the Maoist Revolution is the White House at now?

While the US’ hard power was feared or admired around the world, it was really its soft power that was the envy of the world. Much harder to build, and so influential.
Seeing it being dismantled in this way is quite something.

Зовні схоже на рідкий мед, а на смак мені було просто дуже солодке. Якоїсь особливої родзинки в смаку я вже не пам'ятаю.

Моя мама робила кульбабове варення. Ми з сестрою збирали ті квіти для нього, правда я соромилася своїх рук після того процесу)))

What a powerful moment! ❤️‍🩹

Notable that Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs exclude Russia. Guess the US does not see a problem with it, unlike with its allies and friends 🤔

Ha.

We asked Bundestag MPs and German journalists how has the attitude of #German society changed towards #Russia since the start of its full scale invasion to Ukraine. Here are some answers: ukrainianweek.com/german-socie... Thank you to all the speakers who agreed to answer

Europe’s farmer protests have been fertile ground for Russian propaganda While starting at the grassroots level, the protests have been keenly exploited by Russia to sow division and undermine popular support for Ukraine’s defense.

My latest for @politico.com in which I explore how the farmers' protests in the EU — that do not have their origins in Moscow — have nonetheless been fertile ground for Russia's propaganda, notably to push an anti-Ukraine agenda and fuel resentment against Kyiv.

Le film ukrainien Vingt jours à Mariupol qui raconte l’attaque russe contre cette citée des bords de la Mer d’Azov a été primé par un Oscar à Hollywood. C’est un document pour l’histoire qui montre frontalement les crimes commis par l’armée russe contre des civils.

State Department Beefs Up U.S. Diplomatic Presence in Kyiv Lawmakers still think the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv is too small, and diplomats can’t get close enough to the front lines.

The best way to protect US diplomats in Ukraine is by providing Ukraine the security and military capabilities to defend and secure its territory. I spoke to Jack Detsch & Robbie Gramer @foreignpolicy.com about why the US needs a bigger presence in Kyiv.

Le service de sécurité de l’Ukraine a fait une démonstration du premier #drone maritime, financé grâce à une opération géante de crowdfunding. Le premier exemplaire a été baptisé « Avdiivka ». Il est capable de transporter près d’une tonne d’explosifs sur un millier de km.
