In his first days as Hungary's prime minister-elect, Péter Magyar has begun to dismantle the "propaganda machine" that Viktor Orbán built over his 16 years in office, which helped him crush his rivals and win four consecutive elections. https://t.co/0HDVCc9fZB

#dictatorshipinGeorgia even surpassing the Russian model : B.Ivanishvili closes the international airspace above one of its residences in southern Georgia on a 50 km radius. Fear, megalomania or …
Time of this regime is drawing to its end!

Tehran tonight.

The islamic terrorist regime tried to mass murder everyone into silence and failed. Absolutely legendary scenes.

In Kyiv and the region, the aftermath of the massive Russian strike is still being dealt with. All necessary services are deployed. Twenty residential buildings alone were damaged. Recovery operations after the strikes also continue in the Lviv region and other regions of our country. Unfortunately, as of now, it is known that four people have been killed in the capital alone. Among them is an ambulance crew member. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Dozens of people were injured. There was also a second strike on one of the residential buildings – precisely at the moment when first responders were providing assistance after the first strike.

Overall, last night there were 242 drones. There were also 13 ballistic missiles targeting energy facilities and civilian infrastructure, one Oreshnik medium-range ballistic missile, as well as 22 cruise missiles. The attack took place exactly when there was a significant cold spell. Aimed precisely against the normal life of ordinary people.

Right now, everything possible is being done to restore heating and electricity supply for the people. Today there will be a meeting of the Energy Staff, at which I expect reports on all the details of the restoration work – timelines, the necessary equipment, and the responsible officials.

In addition to our civilian infrastructure and energy facilities, a building of the Embassy of Qatar was damaged last night by a Russian drone – Qatar, a state that does so much to mediate with Russia in order to secure the release of prisoners of war and civilians held in Russian prisons.

A clear reaction from the world is needed. Above all from the United States, whose signals Russia truly pays attention to. Russia must receive signals that it is its obligation to focus on diplomacy, and must feel consequences every time it again focuses on killings and the destruction of infrastructure. Today’s strike also serves as a very loud reminder to all our partners that supporting Ukraine’s air defense is a permanent priority. Not a single day can be lost in deliveries, in production, or in agreements. Today, we will inform our partners at all levels about what has happened and what response measures we need. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

For nearly 3 months, the people of #Georgia have been protesting in favour of a future in the EU & against the course of the 🇬🇪 leadership. They continue to face intimidation, arrests & violence. Today, 🇩🇪 imposed further entry bans on 🇬🇪 officials responsible for the crackdown.

For contrast:

Second photo: Ivanishvili’s PM Irakli Kobakhidze standing next to Hamas’ leader at the inauguration of Iran’s new president, where chants of “Death to America” were heard.

[Joe Wilson @RepJoeWilson]

The courageous Georgian People are patriots who want a strong country with close ties to America. They reject the tyrannical Ivanishvili regime and its attempt to sell Georgia to the Iranian regime and the Chinese Communist Party. The USA stands with Georgia! #MEGOBARI
