With typical lack of self-awareness, the narcissistic and stupid Donald Trump reposts an image of himself wearing a crown while sitting on a throne with a Nazi eagle. Hardly a denial of the accusation that he's a Nazi who thinks he's a king.

Europe’s focus on Ukraine’s perilous “kill zone” obscures a second front: a hybrid war into the continent’s “comfort zone”. Europeans must confront this second assault with clarity and cohesion…

Drones, and "balloons" are causing problems for Russia today.
Three Moscow airports have been closed in the last half hour because of the "balloons" - two have quickly reopened, but the largest, Sheremetyevo, remains closed as of now.

In today’s Russian papers there’s scepticism over the current round of diplomacy. One paper: “The European-Ukrainian gang will ‘correct’ Trump’s plan so that it’s unacceptable for Russia.” Another: “I don’t think the Special Military Operation will end this year.” #ReadingRussia

Big reminder that heat-pumps scale far beyond households — they can decarbonise whole cities.
