French president Emmanuel Macron is saying what everyone’s thinking: Europeans can't let a monster in a bunker in Moscow or a real estate tycoon on a golf course in Florida decide if Europe lives or dies.
"As all the allies, we have to be the one to negotiate this new architecture of security for Europe the day after, because our geography will not change. We will live with Russia at the same place, and the Europeans at the same place. And I don’t want this negotiation to be organised by somebody else."

Opposition figure Tofig Yagublu is on the brink of death after 38 days on hunger strike in #Azerbaijan.
At his court hearing, he had to be brought in by 5 people — shaking, too weak to speak — yet the judge refused house arrest.
There is little hope he will survive until his next court date.
#FreeTofigYagublu before it’s too late. Share to demand his freedom. #JusticeForTofig

😄🇫🇷🇺🇦 "Macron and I like to communicate often. About once a day," — Zelensky commented to journalists on the call of the French president during a press conference.
Euronews gives a platform to dictator Aliyev’s propaganda on the same day he carries out yet another wave of arrests targeting civil society, independent media, and the opposition.
Three years ago today, President Zelenskyy posted this short video with a cheeky wink at the end.
"Everything will be fine. We will win."
He was right then. He is right today.
Support Ukraine!
