I soon realised we were being followed.

We were in Lima, shopping for underwear after Air France lost my luggage. I noticed two suspicious guys shadowing us from shop to shop.

I assumed they were pickpockets.

They weren't.

well said. "Narva is next" etc is Kremlin propaganda designed to chill spirits. This is not 1938. Also it's not 2014 Ukraine or 2022 Ukraine. Yes we have serious problems with Russia. Yes we have serious difficulties in the alliance. So fix them , and stop scaremongering.

A European capital without street names.

A​n escape to Istanbul after ​a nightclub brawl in Bulgaria.

A 1,000km journey around 🇨🇿 by slow train.

30 years of getting on trains & planes, getting into scrapes, and bringing home crap souvenirs.

Article 5 is the foundation of Slovakia's security as a NATO member. By downplaying it, Robert Fico undermines our credibility with allies. We cannot rely on NATO's protection while undermining the very commitments that make collective defence possible. #RobertFico #NATO

President Trump is set to sign the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026
today at 4:30 p.m., a senior U.S. official confirms.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Ukrainian troops are back inside Luhansk, which means that after four and a half years, a mountain of dead conscripts and an economy held together by crude oil and press releases, Russia does not hold the whole of a single one of the four oblasts it claims to have annexed. Ukraine, meanwhile, is calmly burning through its refineries, fuel depots and airbases as though working from a shopping list.

So naturally the Kremlin gets louder everywhere else. The drones over European airports and the cut cables are not strength, they are the noise a losing side makes to remind everyone it still exists.

Which is where it becomes genuinely stupid. European NATO and Canada field roughly two million troops in uniform, several million more in reserve, and economies about ten times Russia's. Provoking that lot into joining Ukraine properly is not strategy.

It's odd that Fico (or his social media team) posted this clip referring to today's trip to Ukraine at 4.24pm, when his office confirmed lunchtime he'd cancelled it for health reasons.

In it he refers to 'tomorrow''s trip, so was presumably recorded yesterday. But still odd. 🤷‍♂️

I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT ALL THAT IS BEING SOUGHT NOW IS A PRETEXT FOR A MAJOR CONFLICT BETWEEN NATO AND RUSSIA.

[Rob Cameron @RobCJournalist]

@visegradjourno It's a weird one as this was posted two hours ago, which was four hours after his office confirmed he'd cancelled today's Ukraine trip for health reasons.

So it's unclear to me whether 'tomorrow' was a reference to now cancelled trip, or whether he's still going tomorrow (Sat).

@miraknapovsky I did! Oh God...Chacha... I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit. Terrible stuff. We were actually at the Stalin museum in Batumi, also glossed over the terror stuff, now closed it seems.

[Rob Cameron @RobCJournalist]

Georgia nearly killed me.

Not the bombs on the railway tracks or a terrifying drive into the Caucasus.

The hospitality.

Georgian “royalty”, Svaneti, vast quantities of wine - and an awkward visit to a Stalin museum.

I’d go back in a heartbeat.

Thank you to Ukraine for bringing justice to this Russian murderer who killed Syrian children and went on to kill Ukrainian children.

OTD in 1939, the Soviets invaded Poland from the east, 16 days after the Nazis invaded from the west, ​under their secret carve-up.

Borders look permanent. Until suddenly they aren't.

What will th​e map ​of Europe look like in another 87 yrs?

Nearly one in three IVF cycles in 🇨🇿 takes place at clinics linked to Andrej Babiš's business empire, says Czech Radio.

His health minister now wants to expand IVF access to single women.

I wrote about Babiš's sprawling business interests here.

Oligarch Umar Kremlev’s previously unreported relationship with Don Jr. represents an extraordinary development: a member of Putin’s circle financially supporting the president’s son and gaining intimate access to the Trump family.

500 years ago, Ferdinand I was elected King of Bohemia, beginning almost four centuries of unbroken Habsburg rule.

As Prague Castle marks the anniversary, a look back at Field Marshal Radetzky - and the decision to bring his statue back.

Some details: Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children
