Il Governo ha deciso di sospendere temporaneamente il regime di libera circolazione previsto da Schengen nei collegamenti marittimi e aerei con la Spagna, reintroducendo i controlli di frontiera.

Si tratta di una misura straordinaria, adottata per tutelare la sicurezza nazionale e prevenire possibili ripercussioni per la nostra Nazione. La misura sarà mantenuta in vigore solo per il tempo necessario, con particolare attenzione a limitare qualsiasi impatto sui flussi turistici estivi.

Parallelamente, l'Italia è pronta a sostenere ogni iniziativa europea di supporto alle istituzioni spagnole necessaria per ristabilire il pieno controllo delle frontiere esterne dell'Unione e affrontare con determinazione la situazione in corso.

Difendere i confini significa difendere la sicurezza dei cittadini, contrastare l'immigrazione irregolare e colpire le reti criminali che trafficano esseri umani.

#Ryazan WB розгорається 🔥🔥🔥

[Maria Drutska 🇺🇦 @maria_drutska]

Wildberries Ryazan has now joined the list of logistics centers which has burnt to the ground after drone sanctions were applied.

With every strike, the very precarious financial position of Wildberries gets worse.

Stay tuned to see which Wildberries warehouse is next to go!🔥

🇺🇦 You might ask me what it is like to be a Ukrainian woman?

Being a Ukrainian woman before the war was extremely difficult. As a Ukrainian, I experienced discrimination everywhere precisely because I was Ukrainian. I couldn't buy anything online because online stores didn't have the Ukrainian language. No, you aren't imagining things—they genuinely lacked the Ukrainian language, and when asked to add it, they responded aggressively, calling us either Nazis or chauvinists. In the supermarket, there were products with Ukrainian names and descriptions, but roughly a third of the products didn't have Ukrainian either. As a student, I was looking for a summer job, and since I lacked higher education at the time—being in the middle of earning it—the service industry was my only option. Yet they wouldn't hire me without knowledge of Russian. I didn't have the money for cafes or restaurants, but my acquaintances had instances where staff refused to serve them in any language other than Russian.

On television, everything was in Russian too. Music channels played only Russian music; even European or American songs were a rarity. Russian TV series, packed with propaganda, occupied every channel. Even the news was broadcast in Russian, except for maybe three or four channels, if I recall correctly. Any talk shows, including political ones, contained only a handful of Ukrainian-speaking people. There were actually people—even from the diaspora coming from abroad—who explicitly stated that they only knew Ukrainian and English and asked politicians to speak one of those languages, but many stubbornly refused out of principle.

So I had no business watching television, and I switched to the internet, but things were bad there too. Search engines found almost nothing in Ukrainian, and you had to use an online translator to translate your query into Russian just to get an answer. And mind you, the population of Ukraine at that time was 40 million. Games lacked Ukrainian language support, and movies were not translated into Ukrainian. We organized fundraisers ourselves just to commission a translation of a movie or a TV show—we even have dedicated websites for this. By the way, since few games have Ukrainian translations, Ukrainians are still manually translating games into Ukrainian to this day.

As a Ukrainian woman who knows only Ukrainian and is learning English, I was restricted in my rights even regarding commerce. I had to go through a profound realization to grasp that people who do not create a product in Ukrainian simply do not count on me as a customer. I still live by this rule today. Being a Ukrainian woman in those days meant that Europeans often didn't know where such a country was and even thought of Africa, while Americans considered us part of Russia. Meanwhile, Russians behaved exactly as they do now—calling us Nazis, insulting our heroes and us personally, telling fairy tales that the Ukrainian language is just a dialect of Polish spoken only in villages. There were even murders for speaking the Ukrainian language inside Ukraine just a few years before the war started. Russians openly demonstrated that they did not respect our independence and desired to occupy us. Everyone understood that war was coming, except for vatniks and politicians. And I think you understand what it feels like when, against this backdrop, the masses elect a pro-Russian politician off the back of cheap populist statements. On top of all that: total poverty, low wages, a forced military draft rife with bullying, corruption, closed borders, and the murder or persecution of patriots and dissenters...

Being a Ukrainian woman became a little easier after the Russian attack. First of all, there is much more Ukrainian language around; Russian music and TV series disappeared from television, which felt like finally being allowed to breathe. Russia took off its mask, and everyone saw what it truly is. What got worse is that Russia tries to kill us every single day openly, taking many of our lives, but at least the world found out about us, heard us, and even learned that our enemies lie about our history to vilify us and justify their aggression against us. Poverty remained just as it was. But at least I can survive if some of you subscribe to my Patreon. By the way, I write continuations there, so follow the link in my profile ;)
