Japon 🇯🇵
Geste diplomatique fort. Durant une visite d'une délégation Ukrainienne à Tokyo, les membres de l'Agence japonaise de coopération internationale se sont habillés avec des vêtements aux symboles traditionnels Ukrainien.
Netanyahu met with pro-separatist Bosnian Serb representatives, including Željka Cvijanović. While Western politicians continue bending over backwards to appease Israel, Israeli officials are meeting with Russian-aligned figures that promote anti-EU and anti-democracy agendas.
Regarding Belarus.
When the full-scale war began, we were hit by missiles that killed children and adults. And Alexander Lukashenko knows this. A large number of missiles were launched from Belarus. Back then, he called, apologized, and said it was out of his control. I don’t believe that, but that’s what he’s already said. Now, Russia will keep pushing him further into this war. Now, he understands that Ukraine will respond.
There’s no need for extra words. There are retransmitters on his communication towers. On his territory, along the two regions bordering Ukraine, there is equipment that adjusts fire on our people. He should remove that equipment. I think a week is enough for him to do that. Because right now, every day, our civilians are being killed, and children are being wounded as a result of this. If he doesn’t do it, we will.
The same goes for his oil-refining sector, for example. We are doing everything so that the Russians don’t have the ability to sell oil and supply diesel and fuel to their army. Today, Belarus is one of the key suppliers for the Russian army. Can this be stopped? I’m sure it’s within his power. And he is the one who controls it.
As for the drone strike on a bus with Belarusian children, everyone has already acknowledged it – international experts and, it seems, even the Russians are admitting it wasn’t our strike. The Russians will resort to all sorts of provocations to drag the Belarusian people into this war. This is one of them.

If you still think this is only Putin’s war and won’t affect you — watch this.
Head of the russian Ski Federation, 7-time Olympic champion:
“Drop a serious bomb on central London — and we’d be allowed back into international sports.”
This is mainstream thinking in russia.
🩹 ⛓️ Ukrainian medic who returned from Russian captivity, when asked by a journalist what he would like to change in the past, answers: "I would wish never to have been born. Too much pain..."
When an individual—specifically someone whose profession is dedicated to the preservation of life—expresses the desire to have never been born, we are witnessing the total victory of the torturer over the spirit. We have faced the greatest evil the Earth has ever known - Russia.
This is Oleh.
He was 2.
russia decided that was enough.
A missile hit his home, killing Oleh, his mother, and 14 neighbors.
He never saw peace.
Never started school.
Never had a future.
His life ended before it began.
I’ve been investigating the russian refinery for days now and the story gets darker and darker. The shipments are sent to Siberia, smelted, and sold to the russian company ‘ASK’. This company distributes aluminium directly to Russia’s missile & drone manufacturers.
Ireland defense for supplying roughly 90% of EU alumina exports to Russia is that the EU never sanctioned alumina.
But when it came to Israel, Ireland didn't wait for the EU.
Dublin pushed ahead with its own Occupied Territories legislation, openly challenging the EU's common trade policy and arguing that moral considerations required action.
Apparently, "we can't act without Brussels" applies to Russia, but not to Israel.
Interesting standard.
Asked today how he feels about negotiations with Iran collapsing, Trump said, "I couldn't care less."
You'd think the president of the United States would care about service members dying and millions paying more for gas because of his illegal and unconstitutional war.
Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.
There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.
Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.
Frankly speaking, neutrality is a morally bankrupt concept.
Having studied sanctions evasion and wartime supply chains, I’ve found some facts particularly striking: neutral Switzerland is the leading European supplier of microelectronics that end up in Russian weapons, while another neutral European country, Ireland, is the leading supplier of aluminum for Russia’s war machine.
So that’s what “neutrality” often means in practice.
I love it: PRC hasn’t even invaded yet, and Trump is already saying Taiwan has itself to blame for wanting democratic freedom and independence from such a “very very powerful big country.”
Oh, and Taiwan apparently stole something from him again, so Emperor Xi should just go ahead and take the world’s premier microchip manufacturing hub.
