[Diplomaatia @diplomaatia]

Venemaa probleemide algpõhjus pole ei Putini isiksus ega tema loodud valitsemissüsteem, vaid viis, kuidas Moskva näeb teisi riike, rahvaid ja iseenda sõlmitud kokkuleppeid.

This is a disgraceful and irresponsible decision by the IOC.

While Russia continues its campaign of terror against Ukraine, the IOC has chosen to turn a blind eye, lifting restrictions and effectively clearing the way for Russian athletes to return to international competitions. This is not neutrality, it is complicity.

Hundreds of Ukrainian athletes, coaches, and young talents have been killed or robbed of their Olympic futures because of Russia’s aggression. Yet the IOC refuses to confront this reality.

At a moment when Russia persists in its assault on Ukraine, the priority cannot be to rub shoulders with the aggressor. It must be to reinforce isolation, uphold international law, and defend the integrity of sport.

Rewarding aggression only invites more of it.

[Ambassador Jonatan Vseviov @vseviov]

Did I miss the news that Russia had ended its war of aggression?

Or has something else changed?

[Belgian Red Devils @BelRedDevils]

Overturn this. 🧏‍♂️ #USABEL

[Ambassador Jonatan Vseviov @vseviov]

Apparently, sport is the continuation of politics by other means.

UEFA expresses its shock that the collapse of the rules-based international order didn’t exempt football aka soccer. “When the certainty of rules is no longer guaranteed by its guardians, the integrity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined.” https://t.co/WMtC4IPaNl

Homme algaval NATO tippkohtumisel keskendutakse peamiselt kolmele teemale, mille kaudu soovitakse rõhutada edu, kindlameelsust ja ühtsust.

Samas ei oodata, et liitlased leiaksid Ankaras lahenduse sügavamatele erimeelsustele, kirjutab Tony Lawrence. https://t.co/8DwwMrMS5C

For countries on the eastern flank, it is obvious that NATO will need Ukraine in the future, either as a partner or as a member.

What is this year's #NATOSummit about, and what can we expect?

Next week in Ankara, the shape of NATO 3.0 – essentially a more European NATO – should become clearer.

Põhjala ja Balti riigid võivad Euroopa kaitsemudeli kujundamisel mängida olulisemat rolli, kui nende suurus lubaks eeldada.

If France cannot transform its ties with Lebanon into a lasting role, it will struggle to even play a second fiddle in a region shaped by military power and strategic competition, writes Théa Delval. https://t.co/PbZC4MZQts

The Russian case suggests that nuclear coercion based on ambiguity may well be effective in the short term but is difficult to sustain during prolonged crises.

Ambiguity is a wasting asset, writes Harald Edinger. @DA_vienna

Venemaa tegevus osutab, et ambivalentsusel põhinev tuumašantaaž võib lühiajaliselt anda soovitud tulemusi, kuid kriisi venides muutub selle heidutusväärtust üha raskemaks säilitada.

Yerevan is walking a tightrope, using a window of opportunity to reformat relations with Moscow and turn Russia from an owner into a partner.

Nikol Pashinyan has never advocated severing ties with Moscow and is unlikely to do so, writes @HosakaSanshiro. https://t.co/2fohoBjPra

On 17 June 1940, more than 100,000 Red Army troops occupied independent Estonia.

What followed were decades of terror, repression and lost freedom. Yet the occupiers never broke the Estonian people's will to be free.

We do not forget.
Never again.

Kui rahvusvahelisele rahu ja julgeolekut tagavale süsteemile ei saa loota, saab alati loota inimestele.

Tavalistel inimestel on rohkem jõudu, kui nad ise ette kujutavad, kirjutab Nobeli rahupreemia laureaat Oleksandra Matviitšuk. #LennartMeriConference https://t.co/7m4eotxoKd

[ICDS Tallinn @ICDS_Tallinn]

A key lesson from Russia’s war is the enduring need for large numbers of personnel.

Could volunteer defence organisations help fill that need?
