A government that does not respect the sovereignty of other countries loses its legitimacy from an international perspective, regardless of whether it was democratically elected or not.

Putain darf durchaus beleidigt sein, dass die Ukraine diese 15km vom Kreml entfernte Moskauer Raffinerie als wichtigeres Ziel einstufte als den Palast von Bunker-Opa selbst.

Stop believing every piece of propaganda that comes out from Arab media. The deal might be just as bad as they are saying, but let's wait until Friday and we see the actual document before coming to a final conclusion ourselves.

During a meeting with President of Kenya @WilliamsRuto, we discussed the development of high-tech cooperation across various sectors: investment attraction, agriculture, and education. We are ready to share our experience with Kenya and implement joint projects. We agreed that our teams will work out the details of possible cooperation. I thank Kenya for supporting Ukraine’s resolutions in the United Nations General Assembly. We also paid special attention to cooperation within international organizations.

Der internationale Seegerichtshof bestätigt die Rechte der Ukraine als Anrainer des Schwarzen Meeres sowie des Asowschen Meeres. Alle von Russland gebauten Brücken und Unterseekabel sind demnach illegal. ukrinform.de/rubric-ato/4134…

Mehr Diplomatie wagen? Hammer: Russlands Diplomaten stehen hinter -Brandanschlägen auf Keir Stamer -Far Right Gruppen, die Tommy Robinson promoten - Fake Islamisten-Gruppen, die diese Far Right Mobs anstacheln, und sind direkt mit Prigoschins Rybar-Propagandisten verbunden. 1/10

The equivalent would be the absurdity of Belgium claiming that it destroyed Notre Dame because Notre Dame is the soul of Belgium. But yes this comparison takes us a step closer to seeing the madness of this.

I once asked Henry Kissinger after a press conference what a superpower should do to avoid looking weak. ‘Don’t start a war,’ he said. He meant Vietnam, but it seems particularly relevant now.

Angesichts der vielen Kommentatoren, die finden, man müsse die 45-Prozent, die für die Initiative waren, jetzt ernst nehmen, finde ich doch, man sollte zuerst einmal jene 55-Prozent ernst nehmen, die nein gestimmt haben. Sie sind die Abstimmungsgewinner.

✔️ Most leaders did not dare to call Russia an “enemy” despite its crimes in Syria and Ukraine and the 2008 annexation of 20% of Georgia’s territory. No firm decision, let alone any monitoring, had been taken against its propaganda. @NTenzer

The Dovzhenko film studio in Kyiv is one of the oldest centers of world cinema. Established in 1927, it’s where Dziga Vertov, Sergey Paradzhanov and obviously Oleksandr Dovzhenko shot some of their masterpieces. It survived WWII because its collection was evacuated to Central Asia before the Nazi takeover. This morning, it was hit by Russian missiles. The entire collection of 100,000 costumes going back nearly a century burned down. Other priceless artifacts gone, too. Barbarians sacking Europe’s cultural heritage.

Manchmal kann man nur den Kopf schütteln. Das erinnert mich an einen Lehrer, der uns auf sieben Stellen ausdividieren liess, obwohl ich privat schon einen Taschenrechner hatte.

Kyiv’s subway once again became a refuge for thousands of people and animals hiding from russian attacks. One day, when this nightmare is over, russia will still be remembered as a state that tried to murder civilians en masse. Until then: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?utm_s…

#Eurosatory conventional deep strike systems 🚀 🇫🇷🇩🇪 Arianegroup introduces its B-STRIKE line, featuring the B-STRIKE 1000 and 2500 one and two-stages balistic missiles carrying a Maneurable Reentry vehicle (MaRV). The B-1000 is a truely mobile system based on X-Fire launcher recently unveiled by Soframe and Thales, while the B-STRIKE 2500 should be considered as a relocable asset, just like US DARK EAGLE system. Both vehicles can carry two missiles. The B-STRIKE 2500 can be fitted with a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV), though cost per round would be much more expensive. Respective characteristics : - Time of flight : < 10 min / ~15 min; - Terminal accuarcy : sub-decametric / decametric (GNSS jamming resistant) - Apogee (max. atltitude) : > 120 km / > 150 km Presented as pre-strategic system with counter-forces capabilities (!) The B-STRIKE line was supposed to include the B-STRIKE 150, but it very recently lost against MBDA/SAFRAN Thunderdart. However, it does not foretell difficulties for the two others products as they address differents missions. More pictures in following post.

Wenn man jetzt im Nachgang zur 10-Mio-Initiative über den Stadt-Land-Graben diskutiert, so könnte sich die Landbevölkerung (dazu gehöre ich) sich auch überlegen, ob sie sich für ihr ja zur Initiative über ein v.a. städtisches Problem nicht einfach einen Bären aufbinden liess.

Was, wenn die perfekt richtige Antwort auf eine Lüge die Lüge stärker macht? @ischinger und @jaegerthomas2 liefern sie – mustergültig. Warum das hier trotzdem zum Problem wird: Narrative Diskursführung.

Klingt nach ernst zu nehmender Drohung. Die Russen müssen sich warm anziehen. Am besten hauen sie so schnell wie möglich ab, aber den Kriegsverbrechern wird auch das nichts nützen.

Konstantin Malofeev is a massive threat to global stability who is rarely discussed in the West. As an underestimated figure in modern Russia, he quietly builds the financial pipelines and propaganda networks used to wage hybrid war against the West. Malofeev has spent well over a decade serving as a crucial economic engine for Russian imperialism. He was a key funder behind the original 2014 occupation of Ukrainian territories and has consistently used his immense wealth to bypass international sanctions. Through his vast Tsargrad media network, he coordinates psychological operations that export extreme, anti-Western narratives disguised as conservative values. His domestic and political influence is mirrored perfectly in his personal life through his marriage to Maria Lvova-Belova. As the Russian official overseeing the mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children, his current wife is actively targeted by an ICC arrest warrant. This partnership shows that Malofeev is not just a passive media mogul, but an active participant in the most severe crimes against humanity committed by the state. The global community continues to underestimate Malofeev, which is a mistake. He actively pushes hardline state ideology, enabling the genocide in Ukraine, and funding neo-fascist movements across Europe to weaken democratic alliances from within. Understanding his operations is absolutely essential because ignoring a puppet master this powerful allows the Kremlin to continue its global destabilization campaign unchecked

Der iranische Machtapparat steckt in einem existenziellen Dilemma: Zwei Logiken blockieren sich und damit den pol. Prozess: Die einen fürchten den Krieg, weil er das Land ausblutet – die anderen fürchten den Frieden, weil er das Regime stürzen könnte. 👉🏽 journal21.ch/artikel/zwische…
