@TomTugendhat Tom can’t we just close the Russian embassy in London down?

And spare me the fatalism. The notion that we are unable to answer this is rubbish. We have the means. What we lack is the will - we still lack the political courage to respond.
And a state that will not defend itself is not merely passive. It is issuing an invitation. Every unanswered blow guarantees the next.
Weakness is provocative.

The @BBCNews has now confirmed what some of us warned for years.
A Russian diplomat ran a sabotage campaign on British soil: arson against the Prime Minister’s own home, and fake far-right and Islamist groups built to turn us against each other. This is not crime. It is how war is fought by powers who don’t want to expose their hand. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

La Russia fa ammazzare i rifugiati nelle città europee, ingaggia persone per colpire le residenze di Starmer e dar fuoco ai centri commerciali. Attenti perché stiamo sottostimando la pericolosità di #Putin e le potenziali reazioni alla sconfitta in Ucraina e ai problemi economici interni

Ho una notizia terribile da darvi: Semyon Skrepetsky, che aveva partecipato alle proteste a Venezia contro la riapertura del padiglione russo, è stato assassinato. Era un artista e un dissidente russo che aveva scelto di sfidare il potere con le sue opere. Le sue caricature colpivano Putin, Kadyrov e Lukashenko, trasformando l’arte in uno strumento di denuncia contro l’autoritarismo. Dopo aver lasciato la Russia, aveva trovato rifugio in Polonia e continuava a battersi per la libertà, partecipando anche alle proteste di Europa Radicale e all’associazione radicale Certi Diritti, da ultimo contro la riapertura del padiglione russo. La sua terribile uccisione impone una riflessione non piu rinviabile. Negli ultimi anni abbiamo assistito a una lunga sequenza di avvelenamenti, omicidi e operazioni contro oppositori del Cremlino ben oltre i confini della Federazione Russa. Le responsabilità dei singoli episodi spettano alle autorità giudiziarie accertarle, ma il fenomeno delle aggressioni extraterritoriali ai danni di dissidenti e critici dei regimi autoritari rappresenta una minaccia concreta per la sicurezza europea. Per questo l’Unione europea deve fare un passo avanti. Serve una Rete europea per la protezione dei dissidenti e degli oppositori politici, coordinata a livello UE e in stretta collaborazione con gli Stati membri, capace di valutare le minacce, condividere intelligence, predisporre misure di sicurezza e offrire tutela concreta a giornalisti, artisti, attivisti e rifugiati politici esposti a rischi credibili. L’Europa deve essere un luogo in cui chi fugge dalla repressione trova libertà e protezione. Difendere i dissidenti significa difendere la nostra democrazia. In foto Semyon a Venezia

How do you save North East schools £100,000 per year for books, school supplies and the best days out?
Simple - put solar panels on their roof. So that’s what we did for 23 schools in Sunderland and Northumberland.
Lower energy bills, more money for kit, kids loving their contribution to the environment and the panels were fitted by north east workers too!
Green energy 🤝 green jobs 🤝opportunity

Well done @BBCPanorama for exposing the Russian behind the arson on @Keir_Starmer’s home.
And the grubby lies the Russians put out and “Tommy Robinson” echoed.
Kick Russia off the international banking system for good.

@grantshapps Yesterday Russia likely murdered a Russian artist in Poland. Grant we need to close the Russian embassy in London

I find it flabbergasting that Russia ordered a sabotage operation against the British PM on UK soil and yet everyone seems to accept it's just business as usual.
This behaviour is why it's essential to defeat Putin in Ukraine.

@AstroFellina @JamesGrahamAuth Not really an answer though is it?esp in relation to the Russian allegations.There is however, overwhelming evidence that he has consistently supported Ukraine. Indeed in the initial days post the murderous 2022 invasion he contributed to saving Ukraine.

@WalsallCouncil @SavvyShopper6 @WMPolice So happy Bran was right otherwise council tax bills would have had to been increased to pay for the damage.

After sniffer dog Bran indicated tobacco beneath kitchen cabinets, our Trading Standards officers uncovered a hidden hydraulic lift system buried around five feet below the floor! 🐕

Putin is orchestrating murders and acts of sabotage across Europe.
Europe is merely watching.
Jay in Kyiv@JayinKyiv
The Russian dictator is now so paranoid that he had this Russian artist murdered in Poland for paintings like this. It'd be a shame if we made his works more popular than ever.
English
@RhonddaBryant Chris, in light of the indirect arson attacks on the PM, and the appalling murder yesterday, of a Russian artist in Poland, surely it is now time to close the Russian embassy in London? These acts can’t just continue.
English
This pretty much destroys any argument Putin has tried to make about the morality of his assault on Ukraine. One of the most ancient Orthodox sites under direct attack. For shame.
Caolan@CaolanReports
I cannot believe what I’m witnessing in Kyiv tonight. Priests at the Kyiv Lavra one of the holiest Christian sites in Europe are rushing to save crucifixes, icons and sacred artefacts while Russia attacks the city. This is what Moscow’s “Christian values” look like.

Le député russe Konstantin Zatouline (parti Russie unie) a annoncé en direct sur la chaîne d’État Premier canal : "La Chine n’a aucun intérêt à voir la Russie gagner cette guerre."
Pire : Pékin profite du conflit pour s’enrichir, en achetant à vil prix le gaz, le pétrole et les ressources russes, tandis que Moscou, exsangue, supplie son "allié" de lui tendre la main.
L’Europe, elle, dépense sans compter pour armer l’Ukraine.
"Eux au moins, ils sont cohérents : ils nous haïssent, et ils agissent en conséquence."
La Chine, elle, joue sur les deux tableaux : drones livrés aux deux camps, commerce maintenu avec la Russie… et zéro aide militaire directe à Moscou.
"On peut comparer leur engagement ? Bien sûr. Et c’est l’Europe qui en fait plus."
Le constat de Zatouline est sans appel : "Pékin est le grand gagnant de la guerre. Tant qu’elle dure, il rafle nos ressources à prix d’ami… et nous, on court après lui."
Ah, la "coopération stratégique" à la chinoise… 🥴

E' stato ucciso l'artista dissidente russo Semjon Skrepezkij.
Molti di voi conoscono le sue opere di irrisione di Putin, Kadyrov e degli altri sciacalli.
Il 12 giugno aveva festeggiato a modo sua la Giornata della Russia. I nazisti di Mosca non gliel'hanno perdonato.

🇵🇱In Poland, Russian opposition figure and political emigrant, artist Semyon Skrepecki, has been murdered. According to Polish media, on the morning of June 15, an unknown assailant shot him at a parking lot in Biała Podlaska. According to available information, there were two killers who were brought to the scene by a Belarusian taxi driver, whom they threatened with a weapon.
🔻 According to The Insider, shortly before the murder, Skrepecki stated that he had been threatened by “Russian patriots.” Skrepecki left Russia in 2021 for political reasons.

This brutal murder of a Russian opposition artist in Poland is yet another alarming case of political violence against Kremlin critics abroad. The circumstances — including the use of a Belarusian taxi and prior threats — strongly suggest involvement of Russian or Belarusian special services. Such killings aim to intimidate the Russian diaspora and opposition figures living in exile.

@MykhailoRohoza Politically, Putin has to be fcked although I guess fascist regimes don’t do politics!

A Russian military convoy — dozens of fuel tankers, KamAZ trucks loaded with weapons and ammunition, and various other supplies — left Berdyansk and headed toward the front line in the Kherson region.
Then, suddenly, out of nowhere, combat “Hornet” drones swooped in and turned the entire convoy into a pile of burned-out scrap metal.
What makes it even more remarkable is that the convoy had not even managed to leave the suburban area of Berdyansk before it was hit.
I can only imagine the looks on the faces of the Russian soldiers. At least those who still had time to be surprised.

This is a shocking case, not only the action itself but the misinformation campaign online that followed.
It shows the threat Russia poses to the UK.

A few things happening at once that people should connect.
Russia is now linked to the arson attacks on the Prime Minister's house and car last year. Shocker.
And we all saw what happened the moment that story broke. Our feeds flooded with a different story about who the men were and why they did it.
That's the operation. The arson is one half. The disinformation campaign is the other.
Flood the zone, muddy the water, get the country shouting at itself instead of asking who is behind it.
And at the same time, a chunk of the accounts pushing Scottish independence on X went dark the night Israel hit Iran's nuclear sites.
Ask yourself why. Why would hostile states be interested in sowing division across the country?
This is exactly what I mean when I say defence is the thread underneath everything now.
Again, it isn't tanks on a border. It's an arson attack on the PM's front door and state-sponsored disinformation campaigns in the replies. It's the argument about breaking up our country being run out of Tehran.
This is why resilience matters. And it's bigger than just factchecking a tweet. It's energy we can rely on. Industry we actually own. Institutions that are rock solid. Communities that don't split and fracture the moment someone pushes them. A country that is built to take a punch.
That's the job now.

Two men have been found guilty of a string of arson attacks on a car and properties linked to Sir Keir Starmer. Ukrainian Roman Lavrynovych, 22, and Romanian Stanislav Carpiuc, 27, acted on the orders of a Russian-speaking Telegram contact. Read more: trib.al/8g40TWJ
