The EU is not just Brussels.

It is not just Parliament, Commission and Council.

That is only the visible part.

Below the surface there is Schengen, the Eurozone, SEPA, TEN-T, ENTSO-E, the EIB, cohesion funds, industrial standards, supply chains, legal harmonisation, energy interconnections, rail corridors, defence clubs, diplomatic treaties and internal machinery almost nobody sees.

Europe is not a building.

It is a web.

A 70-year-old civilisational operating system made of treaties, institutions, infrastructure, markets and quiet dependencies.

Most people argue about the flag.

The real story is the wiring.

Tutto questo, ovviamente, è stato possibile grazie all’instancabile lotta per la libertà degli ucraini, che da un lato hanno dato ad altri il coraggio di difendere la libertà e, dall’altro, hanno costretto la Russia a una ritirata imperiale dal proprio vicinato e non solo./4

Per i popoli che sognano di entrare nell’Unione Europea,l’Europa non è soltanto un’istituzione o un mercato comune. È un immaginario morale. È la promessa della libertà e di una vita dignitosa. Quell’idea d’Europa oggi ha vinto in #Armenia, così come aveva già vinto in Moldova./1

One Russian paper today: “In many Russian regions there are restrictions on the sale of petrol.” Another reports that, in Crimea, hotel bookings are “down 31%...& hotel cancellations double due to the fuel crisis.” #ReadingRussia

Stranamente, tutti coloro che hanno a che fare coi russi da vicino finiscono per schifarli.

Zelensky makes a great point here, and it's good to hear him laugh:

Fancy folk in Moscow can't use social media because the Kremlin is scared, but even the Ukrainian soldier in the trenches can access whatever network he likes.

A society of fear vs a society of trust.

[Dr. Minh Tran @MinhDr18]

China's coast guard harasses Filipinos. Philippines documents it. China gets upset when the footage reaches the rest of the world and accuses Manila of "playing the victim."

If you don't want the reputation of a bully, stop behaving like one.

⚡️ Zelensky warns Putin that Ukraine will soon be able to strike Russia with domestically produced ballistic missiles

According to the Ukrainian president, the country is very close to achieving its goal of developing its own ballistic missile capabilities.

Zelensky said Ukraine will continue responding to Russian attacks with all available means until Moscow abandons its war against Ukraine.

Ukraine extends the paralyzing of Russian logistics on Crimea to rail networks, having just ended train travel on the penninsula.

No more trains, no gasoline for automobiles, time to go.

Russians scurry from the beach as Ukrainian drones approach the beach city of Sochi.

War is no longer just a TV show to deflect from the daily misery of being Russian.

Sui canali Telegram filorussi si esibiscono i missili gentilmente offerti dalla Nord Corea, con buona pace di chi da noi sa dire solo “basta armi all’Ucraina”. Magari @GiuseppeConteI, @matteosalvinimi ed altri fini pensatori come il generalissimo @RoVannacci ci sapranno dire perché la Russia può usare droni iraniani, missili nordcoreani e componentistica cinese per ammazzare civili e distruggere città, ma se l’Europa offre a Kyiv gli strumenti per difendersi diventa “escalation”

Russian "Analogavnet" in all its glory 🤣

A promotional video of another "demonstration" of the Russian military-industrial complex.

During the TOS-1 "Sontsepiok" salvo, the booster unit of one of the missiles fell off at launch and caught fire, and the warhead flew into a neighboring landing.

Zelensky was told that the Kremlin thought his open letter was “rude”.

His response: “they should’ve seen the first version “

BREAKING 🚨: The Kushner-Trump project in the Narta protected area is suspended! The Albanian Gov. confirmed the decision to @politico. A major 1st win for protesters, but they aren't backing down—demanding a permanent cancellation & calling for a caretaker government. 🇦🇱🦩
