Eight European countries are calling for a Schengen entry ban for Russian servicemen. Should’ve been done long ago and permanently. Leaders also argued there is a risk of former Russian combatants involved in organised crime, extremist movements or hostile activities against EU countries in the context of Russia's hybrid actions.

For years we've all asked for the #RussianVisaBan and now it's happening, and they can't stop filming their disappointment. It's great to watch 🍿🍿🍿

How to respond when someone says “Ukraine has Nazis”:

Never received as many death threats as after publishing this, btw: x.com/P_Kallioniemi/…

This isn't even satire.

The image below is of a Shahed-136 engine. Russia has launched over 70,000 Shahed and Geran-type drones at Ukraine. The engine crankcase, cylinders and pistons are cast from aluminium in Russia. Ireland produces the alumina and ships it to Russia. Ireland is complicit!

The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.

These are the stories of animals harmed by Russia’s war in Ukraine - ones I have written about over the years. Sadly, there are many more. Do you remember them? Which story stayed with you the most?

Tucker Carlson: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.”

Kherson. Its streets have become a hunting ground for russian drones. 📽 A “human safari” — through a russian drone’s eyes. The operator saw it was a civilian car — and still struck. A 56-year-old man was killed. Two others injured. This is deliberate terror. Nothing else.

Romanian Think Tank New Strategy Center publishes “(Con)Trolling the Russian Information Warfare Efforts: North Atlantic Fella Organization’s Digital Activism against Moscow’s Wartime Propaganda”, a study dedicated to one of the most unconventional phenomena of contemporary information warfare: the role of memetic culture and digital activism in support of Ukraine. 📍The study analyzes how the North Atlantic Fella Organization (#NAFO) has asserted itself as a decentralized digital actor, able to combine humor, irony, and online visual culture with concrete goals of challenging Russian propaganda and mobilizing international solidarity for Ukraine. The analysis follows both the offensive dimension of memetic activism — by ridiculing pro-Kremlin narratives — and the defensive dimension, by strengthening the legitimacy and informational resilience of the pro-Ukrainian camp. 📣By exploring the relationship between hybrid warfare, influence operations and so-called "memetic warfare", the study shows that NAFO is not only a viral expression of internet culture, but also a relevant example of how digital communities can produce symbolic, political and even material effects in conflict contexts. At the same time, the analysis highlights how such forms of online mobilization can function as tools of civic resilience, crowdfunding and transnational support in a war marked by narrative competition and informational confrontation. 📍The study thus proposes a broader reflection on the transformation of digital activism in the context of contemporary conflicts and on how new forms of online participation can influence both the information space and the broader architecture of democratic resistance to hybrid aggression. 📚The analysis was carried out by Răzvan Ceuca, expert in cyber and international relations at the New Strategy Center, and the peer review was done by Iulian Popa, Senior Associate Expert, New Strategy Center.

The Root Cause of Russia's War: Russian Imperialism What is the "root cause" of Russia's aggression against Ukraine? The most common Russian propaganda narratives include: NATO expansion, "security concerns," "denazification," or the protection of Russian-speaking populations. But the real cause is much older, deeper, and far more persistent: Russian imperialism – a system of incentives built over centuries that rewards domination of neighboring states.

Through Brussels, we have received an indication from Ukraine that they are ready to restore oil deliveries via the Friendship pipeline as early as Monday, provided that Hungary lifts its blockade of the €90 billion EU loan. Hungary’s position has not changed: no oil = no money. Once oil deliveries are restored, we will no longer stand in the way of approving the loan. The disbursement of the loan does not impose a financial burden or obligation on Hungary.

I am deeply saddened by the recent escalation of attacks against Ukraine, which continue to afflict civilians. I express my solidarity with those who are suffering and assure all the Ukrainian people of my prayers. I renew my appeal for weapons to fall silent and for the path of dialogue to be pursued.
