- Kaja Kallas says:
If Russia truly wants peace, it should accept responsibility for the damage caused in Ukraine, return deported Ukrainian children and ensure accountability for war crimes..."
I couldn't agree more....this is true!
If you didn’t notice, Russia presented in St Petersburg a “positive scenario” for Europe’s future:
- nuclear strike on Ukraine,
- war till 2036;
- occupation of Kyiv;
- disintegration of EU;
- Russia’s domination in Europe.
Think about it next time when saying 🇷🇺 means well.
3 years ago, russia destroyed the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant, killing people and animals, destroying homes, and flooding entire settlements.
The aftermath of this mindless act of ecocide will linger for years to come. russia’s war crimes must not be forgotten.

🇸🇪⚡ Swedish proposal could ruin Russian summer
Migration Minister Johan Forssell (M) is now coming out with a Swedish initiative that could hit Russian tourists hard in the EU.
Last year, 477,878 Schengen visas were issued to Russian citizens.
Forssell: “It is completely unreasonable that Russian citizens are enjoying luxury holidays while Ukrainians are dying.”
Sweden wants EU countries to be able to deny visas based on nationality — something that is currently not allowed.
The proposal has the support of all Nordic countries, the Baltics, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Poland.
Why Sweden is pushing this:
– stop Russian luxury tourism
– reduce security threats and espionage
– close loopholes used by the Kremlin
– make a political mark during ongoing wars
Forssell: “We must put an end to Russian weekend trips around the Mediterranean.”
What is happening now:
The proposal is at the EU migration ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg.
If it goes through, Russian travel to the EU could be severely restricted — perhaps as early as this summer, depending on processing times.
In short:
Sweden wants to close the door to Russian tourism.
The question is whether the EU dares to take the step.
@SITARMS@CaolanReports@FineGael@fiannafailparty Nor am I one of those "bots". Zelensky was democratically elected, defending a country attacked by imperialistic russia run by a maffia. @SITARMS, you should be ashamed of yourself.
🇸🇪♥️🇺🇦
”Last year almost 500 000 Russian tourists were let into Europe, while Ukrainians were dying on the battlefield. This situation needs to be stopped.
That is why we, together with 10 other Member States, have put forward an initiative for new EU visa restrictions for Russian citizens.” @JohanForssell at JHA
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.
I no longer understand the so-called civilized world.
Another massive russian missile and drone attack on Ukraine.
🛑 Kyiv: 4 killed, 50+ injured, including 3 children.
🛑 Dnipro: 6 killed, including a rescuer, 36 injured.
Where is the world's outrage?
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.
“The day my son died, I think I died with him. They buried him, but left me alive to walk to the cemetery and look at my child's photo.”
These are the words of Diana, mother of 21-year-old Andriy Vehera.
On November 19, 2025, a russian missile struck a residential area in Ternopil.
Andriy was outside with friends, talking to his girlfriend before heading to class. His last words were:
“It’s coming.”
He saw the missile approaching.
Seconds later, it killed him. It also killed his grandparents as they were making their way to a shelter.
This is what russian terrorism looks like.
A 21-year-old student.
His grandparents.
A mother left to visit her son's grave.
Never forget what Ukrainian people are living through because of russia.
