Russia has vast natural and agricultural resources, immense mineral wealth. Yet outside of Moscow and St Petersburg there is a dreadful third world poverty... because Putin, his kleptocracy, siliviki, and oligarchy have taken it all, and made themselves the world's richest men.

Make no mistake, this woman would have had a seat on the Board of Russia's Gazprom alongside her German predecessor Schroeder if Putin's SMO had succeeded.

On the streets of Tbilisi the people burn the flag of Russia. The people have spoken - the illegal Georgia Dream party must go. Democracy will prevail.

Russian occupied territories are ravaged and destroyed. Once thriving cities and communities are blitzed, everything of value looted and returned to Russia. Ukrainian citizens treated abysmally, their rights withheld and their ethnic identity trashed.

Stalin murdered millions of ethnic Russian in gulags and slave Labour. Putin perpetuates Stalin's monstrous legacy, sending millions of ethnic and annexed Russians into his SMO... and dehumanising prisoners of war, tearing up the Geneva Convention is ignored by the UN.

Germany 🇩🇪
Russian hybrid warfare is targeting civilian transportation hubs across Europe. An airport in Munich disrupted today, a weaponised drone tomorrow. When will NATO act? When lives are lost?

Savchenko Volodymyr @savchenkoua.bsky.social · 9d

🇩🇪 Munich police install lasers against drones, airport prepares hundreds of folding beds for passengers.

After the incident at Munich airport, police have installed a laser device near one of the runways. It is a special car with a laser installation.

Serbia 🇷🇸.
The people of Serbia want democracy and Europe, not autocracy and Moscow. The time of men like Vucic, Orban and Fico is drawing to a close.

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić:

Everyone is preparing for conflicts.To be completely honest,everyone is getting ready for war.The only question is which side someone belongs to

We would like to avoid wars. We would like to avoid conflicts... Everyone is really&seriously preparing for wars

Hybrid Russian attacks on NATO member territories have not only been happening for some considerable time, they are increasing - in scale and reach... At some point, very soon, Russia will cause fatalities and that will see rhetoric from both sides turn into very decisive action.

UNITED24 Media @united24media.com · 11d

Putin denies Russia plans to attack NATO.

But can the West believe him?

Ukrainian Defender spent almost 3,5 years in Russian captivity. He has been counting days up to the moment when he finally returned home.

The United Nations is a travesty. Nations need a forum where all meet and work together, but the UN has been unfit for that purpose for a very long time. The UN fails democratic countries. It must be defunded, and a stronger, less corrupt, fairer, more just, organisation replace it.

One of the most loathed leaders in the Europe. Orban openly admires Putin, prefers the corrupt autocratic leadership structure of Russia, and will remain Hungary's leader for as long as the Kremlin machine enables him. Hungarians 🇭🇺 really must depose him before it becomes too late for them.

😵‍💫 Orban: This war is already decided. The Russians have won. The only question is when and with whom they will make peace.

If Russian drones cross into Hungary, we will just shoot them down. We’re not afraid.
