According to security officials, pro-Russian and far-right social media accounts linked to previous disinformation campaigns have spread violent videos in an attempt to sow more chaos https://t.co/do9goC9A2l

There is a lot of Russian propaganda in Europe. They have invested as much money in it as in weapons during this war. This is a massive financial program spanning decades. Russia has been waging a hybrid war against Europe, including Italy, France, Britain, and Germany, for a long time. It just isn't waging a full-scale war against them as it is against us. Because we had the same thing – a hybrid war. Russian narratives across absolutely all television and media platforms, on the internet, and on social media.
People should not be pierced through and brainwashed by waves of narratives from the Russian Federation. Because it is up to France, Ukraine, Italy, and Spain to decide how to live and whom to elect. Russia cannot influence Italy's choices and freedom. Italy is a free country, just like Ukraine.
The Russians will seek to exploit far-right movements, religious movements, faith, migration, and gender. Russia doesn't care what issue can divide society: from religion to language, Russia will always find it and strike there. We are seeing this now not only in Europe – they also have influence in the United States of America. They have a very significant wave going on there, and their network is operating.
From an interview with Corriere della Sera. (3/3)
Russia struck a park near a cafe in the Kharkiv region with an attack drone, killing at least six people, including a girl barely over a year old and an 11-year-old child, and injuring 15 others, among them seven children. Families who had come to spend time together became the targets of another Russian brutal attack.
The deliberate use of attack drones against places where civilians gather exposes the nature of Russia’s warfare and the threat it poses far beyond Ukraine. The same technologies, components and networks that enable these attacks are part of a Russian military system that continues to adapt, expand production and exploit gaps in international restrictions. Allowing those supply chains to function means allowing Moscow to prepare its next strikes and kill civilians.
We urge our partners to intensify efforts to identify and disrupt the networks supplying Russia’s drone industry, tighten sanctions, enforce export controls against circumvention, and pursue accountability for those responsible for attacks on civilians. At the same time, Ukraine needs faster deliveries of interceptors to prevent further tragedies. The most effective response to this atrocity is to make the next Russian drone harder to build, harder to launch, and easier for Ukraine to destroy.

🇪🇺🛰️ FT: Europe’s biggest telecom operators are teaming up to challenge Starlink.
Deutsche Telekom, Orange, Telefónica and Vodafone are exploring a joint bid for EU satellite spectrum to offer direct-to-smartphone connectivity.
The initiative aims to reduce Europe’s dependence on U.S. satellite providers amid growing transatlantic tensions.
The companies would build ground infrastructure and partner with an existing satellite operator rather than launch their own satellites.
Zelensky told Piers Morgan that Ukraine feels betrayed by recent developments and believes it is losing the United States as a strong partner. Asked directly whether Ukraine was losing America, Zelensky replied: “Yes, but not because of us. We cannot be weak. Otherwise, we will not survive.”
“We are not selling our country. Listen, friends, this is not business for us. This is our life. This is our country, our home, our children,” Zelensky said. Speaking about Trump, he argued that anyone positioning themselves between two sides must remain in the middle rather than move to what he called “the wrong side.” Zelensky said he believes Trump’s advisers are wrong and added: “I don’t know who is pushing him to the wrong side. This is not the side of history you should be on.”
❗️Germany will not follow the US in easing sanctions on Russian fuel and will continue enforcing its existing restrictions, Reuters reports. Germany’s Economy Ministry said the country is fully independent of Russian fuel and is working on additional restrictions against Moscow. The ministry also reaffirmed that Germany will continue supporting Ukraine. #Russia
Zaporizhzhia. The heartbreaking reality of life in Ukraine.
A husband and wife are pulled alive from the rubble of their home. Their daughter is dead.
Two parents survived. Their little girl didn’t.
We don’t hate russia and its enablers enough.
You likely saw the video yesterday of a first responder rescuing a small girl from the rubble in Pryluky. Her family was murdered but she survived. He visited her in the hospital today. Poor baby girl. She deserves none of this 💔 russia is cancer.
Doctors are now fighting to save the lives of people injured in the Russian strike on Kramatorsk. As of now, 30 people have been confirmed killed, and sadly, that number may rise. The Russian bomb effectively hit two city minibuses. Some of those killed have still not been identified because of the severity of their injuries. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Another 18 people were injured in the strike. Residential buildings and cars were also damaged.
This strike will not go unanswered. Russia is trying to destroy all life in Donbas, and a response from the world is a must. A forceful response – exactly as the Russians deserve for all the deaths they have brought. May all those killed rest in peace.
Overall, 25 people were killed in this massive Russian strike on Ukraine. One hundred people were injured. It was a combined attack, involving many ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as “shaheds.” This is the kind of “gift” Putin gave himself for his birthday.
Ukrainian warriors shot down 44 missiles – both cruise and ballistic. Not all of those launched by Russia, and ballistic missiles are especially difficult to deal with. We suppressed 117 “shaheds” – most of those launched, but unfortunately, not all of them either.
Additional packages of air defense missiles are needed, as are additional measures to support Ukraine. And there will be appropriate packages. The threat is there every day, and every day, our air defense batteries need to have missiles ready. We strongly count on prompt deliveries from our partners.
💔🇺🇦 Un pompier évacue un enfant après une frappe russe sur un bâtiment résidentiel à Prylouky, en Ukraine.
13 morts, 4 enfants. Le jour de son anniversaire, Poutine massacre des enfants.
N’ayez crainte ! Selon JLM, Royal, MLP Poutine est prêt à négocier.
I was on my way to The New Yorker festival to speak on Russia with David Remnick when I received the news of Anna Politkovskaya's assassination. A brave soul who saw things clearly and was not afraid to also speak clearly. As I said then, we don’t know who did it, and may never know, but we know who is responsible and that his address is the Kremlin. I encourage you to honor her and her legacy by reading her works, not just her obituaries.
