    Donald Tusk has urged right - and left -wing European voters who oppose the NATO alliance&#39;s active military defense efforts against the russian aggressors not to make the same grave mistake as the French politician and Nazi collaborator Marcel Déat, who, on 4 May 1939, asked &quot;Why die for Gdańsk?&quot;

    Channels posing as ordinary citizens and speaking Russian now account for almost a third of Latvia&#39;s political content on the Telegram messaging app. They promote false narratives, such as the idea that russian speakers are persecuted, Nazism is on the rise and ordinary people are suffering due to Latvia&#39;s military support for Ukraine. https://theins.ru/inv/297192

    Alice Weidel has consistently opposed German rearmament and military support for Ukraine. In response, the russians have thanked her by encouraging their 3.5 million ethnic russian-German compatriots in Germany to support the fascist AfD party. It is Weidel and the AfD who pose a true security risk to Germany.

    The recent success of the pro-russian AFD party in German state elections is another step towards a &#39;sphere of influence&#39; politics: the US would be able to withdraw from Europe, while the russians would fulfil their long-held ambition of controlling the continent with the help of European neo-Nazis. https://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/show/57569

    Every European should watch this press conference to find out what the future holds if they don&#39;t fight and defeat the russians: They will all be forced to speak &#39;russian to each other in a friendly manner&#39;.

    In response to russian sabotage on the continent, it would be advisable for European nations to swiftly and decisively impose sanctions on the Zvezda Yard in Bolshoy Kamen, as well as on the Utrenneye LNG terminal. https://www.thebarentsobserver.com/news/new-arctic-carrier-picks-up-first-batch-of-sanctioned-lng/456945

    The depravity of the russians knows no bounds. According to footage from UAVoyager, they have once again used Iskander ballistic missiles equipped with cluster munitions warheads to attack Kyiv&#39;s civilian population. Such terror must not be tolerated. The civilized world must stop the russians now!

    The militarisation of children and the subsequent recruitment of teenagers living under occupation into the army of the occupying power is a war crime under international law. &#39;When this becomes the only reality a child knows for years, propaganda stops being perceived as such.

    If you enjoy Mondelēz products such as Cadbury, Milka, Toblerone,Oreos,etc., it is worth bearing in mind that they have been produced in support of the largest genocidal war of conquest since 1945. This was recently explained by Dirk Van de Put, Mondelēz&#39;s chief executive, in an interview with the BBC. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy06d00jpn0o

    The Wildberries logistics centres in St. Petersburg and Tver were among the facilities hit by Ukrainian drones today. This is the Ukrainian army&#39;s way of teaching those who behaved like barbarians without expecting consequences that the russian people will indeed pay the price for their actions.

    &#39;Good russians&#39; like to claim that the only thing needed to end the genocidal war of conquest against Ukraine is a change of government. But who builds the bombs that kill Ukrainians in their homes at night? Who guides them? Who fuels the planes? Who gives the orders? Who carries them out?Where does the evil come from? https://kyivindependent.com/at-least-25-injured-including-six-children-in-russian-strike-on-zaporizhzhia/

    Negotiations between EU members regarding the 21st sanctions package against the russians ended without an agreement on Wednesday night. Germany is insisting on buying cheap russian fish with Ukrainian blood, while Greece wants to ship russian LNG, Austria wants to deal with russian banks, and Bulgaria wants to exempt the russian death cult from sanctions. No words. https://www.kyivpost.com/post/80812

    &quot;Today’s wartime Ukraine is a meritocracy of results. Titles from a past life, ranks, polished presentations and mock-ups carry no decisive weight here. What carries weight is what reached the target and brought victory closer.&quot; “For three years now, Ukraine has been doing what Europe is only preparing for. Instead of asking for protection, we now bring the operating manual.” Ira Terekh, CEO Fire Point

    Genocide is defined as the intention to destroy, either wholly or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. This can include the intentional targeting of a group&#39;s culture, as seen in the systematic destruction of Ukraine&#39;s publishing industry, libraries, books and archives. https://kyivindependent.com/russias-large-scale-attack-destroys-nearly-250-000-ukrainian-books/

    Hasan Piker&#39;s choice of clothing, resembling Vladimir Solovyev, Dmitry Medvedev or chairman Mao, is no coincidence. The slogan &#39;We don&#39;t need those Democrats anymore&#39; is intended to further fracture the US Democratic Party, thereby ensuring that Trump remains in power — the sole reason for the DSA&#39;s popularity.

    &quot;Russia unleashed the largest number of ballistic missiles since the start of the war — around four dozen — in a brutal terrorist attack on the Ukrainian capital, killing and injuring people. We urge appropriate and strong responses. We need devastating pressure on Moscow to end this terror[...] Provide Ukraine with all the necessary means to stop Russia and end the war.&quot; Andrii Sybiha, MFA Ukraine
