The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Terrifying revelation. An expert journalist confirms Hungary is acting as a Trojan horse for Moscow. Viktor Orban is accused of actively spying on NATO and leaking highly confidential EU intelligence directly to Vladimir Putin. The corruption is staggering.

#Tbilisi: Large crowds are marching through the streets of Tbilisi today. Demonstrators include students, teachers, journalists, artists, and family members of prisoners of conscience, faced with repression, intimidation and total dismantlement of democracy and human rights in the country. Georgia is closing one of the most brutal years in its recent history for civil society and its citizens. Hundreds have been jailed or subjected to torture. Independent and civil media spaces have been systematically shut down. Fundamental freedoms and human rights have been curtailed and dismantled, pushing the country into isolation and cementing its alignment with Russia. This marks Day 395 of the #GeorgiaProtests.

My name is Kate, i'm posting from Kharkiv, Ukraine. I share daily updates on russia’s invasion of my country and glimpses of civilian life in one of the most bombed cities on earth. This account is fully independent. If you like what I do, you can tip: buymeacoffee.com/kateinkharkiv

‘Big Read’ in @FT -‘Ireland: the weak link in EU defence’. Some key points highlighted: 3/4 of all undersea cables in N. Hemisphere pass through our waters; we do not have the intelligence systems to receive classified information; we have no radar, no sonar; & lack of a dedicated intelligence agency - that ought to be rectified.

Would you support President 🇺🇦 Zelensky receiving the Nobel Peace Prize ? YES or NO ?

@FeistyLibLady When elected officials make a vailed attempt to get our troops to commit insubordination they should be arrested, charged with treason,convicted and punished. The punishment for treason is death

Home has a way of opening the heart. Visiting my old primary and secondary schools in Oranmore today, as the new Minister for Education & Youth, felt like stepping back into who I was as a young person, and more importantly who I’m here to serve 💛

The way out of the conflict? The way out of the conflict is for Russia to leave Ukraine. That's the way out of the conflict." -Sanna Marin Former prime minister of Finland Do you agree with her?😊

The US-Kremlin plan won’t just destroy Ukraine & endanger Europe — every dictator worldwide will read it as a message that aggression pays. Russia must lose, badly. European failure to show strength now & ensure 🇺🇦 victory will open a Pandora’s box of war.

Ireland's Christian heritage built our schools, hospitals & identity. Yet in 2025 Catholic primary schools are being removed, daily worship is ruled unlawful in the North, and faith is being stripped from education. Do not doubt that this is deliberate. This is a Christian country. I have no issue with atheists, but we need Christian leadership. Christ is King of the world - he ought to be King of IRELAND as well.

Irish general Seán Clancy says Europe can no longer sit back: ‘Ukraine is the front line’ irishtimes.com/world/europe/2…

WOW! President Zelensky has officially REJECTS Donald Trump’s Peace Deal. RETWEET to thank Zelenskyy! 🇺🇦

Do you support Zelensky? 🇺🇦❤️‍🔥 Yes or No?

Honoured to have been appointed as Min for Education & Youth. I have been passionate about education since I qualified as a primary school teacher more than 20 yrs ago. I served as Min of State in several Gov depts & I am confident my experience will stand to me in my new role

It is not Europe that is at war with Russia; it is Russia that is at war with Ukraine – and potentially with many in Europe. We understand what they are capable of and what they might do, but Europe fears the word “escalation.” And Europeans always assume that, because they are developed states that respect law and values, Europe’s steps – any response from them – will be an escalation. And I believe the opposite: Russia does not like weakness. Any intellectual responses – precisely the kind Europe finds – read as weakness to Russia. Weakness creates a certain Russian flavor. The Russians sense that weakness, and they want, while no one is strong enough yet to pressure them, to inflict damage and take some extra gain for themselves. In Ukraine’s direction, that gain looks like preventing Ukraine’s development, destroying our identity, and taking our land – in short, political gains. In the energy sphere – Slovakia, Hungary, Eastern Europe, and Germany as well – the aim is to keep everyone permanently hooked on their energy. Weakness does not produce dialogue with Russia. To the Russians, it is simply weakness – and that means they can impose their narratives. That is what is happening. So, to answer the question: what are all these violations of European airspace by drones across different countries – they are tests. Tests of Europe, tests of its responses: all of Putin’s drone attacks are probes to see what they are capable of. A test of how America will respond to the current threat to European NATO members. There’s no smoke without fire, and I believe all these probes are dangerous for Europe’s integrity.
