If Putin stops fighting, the war ends. If Zelensky stops fighting then his country will be occupied, leaders murdered, language banned, businesses stolen, children kidnapped. That's what happens in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

20 years ago, Anna Politkovskaya was murdered for speaking truth to power in Putin’s Russia.
She exposed the brutality of war. She gave a voice to its victims. And she refused to be intimidated into silence.
This cost her life. But her memory is carried by so many to this day.
Press freedom in Russia has now only been crushed further. But Anna’s voice continues to travel far beyond Russia’s borders.
She remains a symbol of courage, of fearless journalism and of the power of truth in the face of oppression.
Today, we honour Anna’s legacy. And we think of all those who continue the work she gave her life for.

#Russia: It has been 20 years since Anna Politkovskaya was killed. We honour her memory & call on Russia to fulfil its international human rights obligations, end persecution of those who expose abuses & to release all political prisoners. Full statement👇🏼link.europa.eu/nMhprM

Please explain to me why we killed the terrorist responsible for the image on the left, while rolling out the red carpet for the terrorist responsible for the image on the right.

🎯 I'd say Europe is waiting for a mass casualty event before taking the Russian threat seriously, but there has already been one, MH17 in July 2014, and nearly every day in Ukraine. I'm not sure Germany or NATO would respond to another one--and worse, Putin isn't sure either.
“It could have been a total disaster, a serious military strike on a German airport,” said Konstantin von Notz, a German MP in the committee overseeing the German security services. “It is pure accident the catastrophe did not happen,” said @nicolange_ washingtonpost.com/world/202…

As CIA chief John Ratcliffe is visiting Moscow today, it may be interesting to consider the recent leak from the Russian state-owned bank "Sberbank" that discusses eight scenarios for how the Russian war against Ukraine might end. Each scenario has its own probability in %. 1/9

The WSJ now reports CIA director Ratcliffe is (or rather, was) in Moscow to dissuade Russia from mobilization and an attack on Europe. Given the intense NATO intelligence gathering activity on the Eastern front the past week, it seems the situation is rather tense.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The WSJ article states the reason for CIA Director Ratcliffe's Moscow trip "wasn’t immediately clear" and does not report it was to dissuade Russia from mobilization or an attack on Europe. wsj.com/world/cia-dire… Other reports confirm the purpose remains undisclosed. cbsnews.com/news/cia-direc… theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a…

Unia Europejska jest niedoskonała, irytująca, nudna, ale niczego lepszego w naszej historii nie wymyśliliśmy. Czas pokoju, dobrobytu, wolności, demokracji i solidarności między narodami przez wieki walczącymi ze sobą to cud. Niech trwa jak najdłużej.

The chant “Europe, Europe, Europe” rising from the banks of the Danube, in front of the Hungarian Parliament in Budapest, where Péter Magyar @magyarpeterMP is celebrating his electoral victory, is a cry that shakes the conscience of us all. It lifts our spirits, fills us with joy, and gives us hope that this era of sovereigntism and populism may soon be consigned to the past. Long live a united and democratic Europe!
The 298 MH17 victims (193 🇳🇱) beg to differ. #RussiaIsATerroristState
