What happened in Belfast last night is horrific.
The authorities must reveal the identity and status of the attacker immediately.
The public are entitled to the truth.
Nearly 500,000 Russian citizens enjoyed European holidays last year.
Meanwhile, Ukrainians were dying on the battlefield.
It's time to end Schengen tourist visas for Russian tourists.
Holidays in the EU are a privilege, not a right for citizens of a country waging war on our continent.
BELGIUM: Brussels currently looks like a war zone.
This is the capital of the European Union. 88% of the population under the age of 20 is of foreign origin, and over half is Muslim.
What did Europe do to itself?
In his final moments, Henry Nowak told police officers nine times “I can’t breathe” and four times that he had been stabbed.
In response police officer dragged him across the gravel, handcuffed and read him his rights.
It was the last thing Henry heard before he died.
Our long-range sanctions carried out by the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine have yielded good results. Important facilities on Russian territory were hit last night.
Among them was the Petersburg Oil Terminal. The distance from Ukraine’s state border to this facility of Russia’s oil industry, which serves the war, is about 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets at the Kronstadt base were also hit.
Another target was an enterprise in the Tambov region involved in the production of Russian weapons. The distance from the frontline is almost 600 kilometers.
I thank our warriors for their precision. Ukraine’s plan for long-range sanctions is being implemented exactly as needed to bring peace closer. Glory to Ukraine!
L’Italia perde un grande campione e un uomo straordinario, capace di trasformare ogni prova della vita in una lezione di coraggio, forza e dignità. Alex Zanardi ha saputo rimettersi in gioco ogni volta, affrontando anche le sfide più dure con determinazione, lucidità e una forza d’animo fuori dal comune. Con i suoi risultati sportivi, con il suo esempio e con la sua umanità, ha dato a tutti noi molto più di una vittoria: ha dato speranza, orgoglio e la forza di non arrendersi mai.
A nome mio e del Governo rivolgo un pensiero commosso e la più sincera vicinanza alla sua famiglia e a tutti coloro che gli hanno voluto bene.
Grazie di tutto, Alex.
🇷🇴 Environment Minister Diana Buzoianu has fired the head of the Bucharest Forestry Guard after he threatened a journalist with aggressive messages.
Zero tolerance for abuse of power.
The security forces in Iran threw acid on Marziyeh for not covering her hijab “properly”.
And this one? The grandniece of Qasem Soleimani the slain IRGC commander, in a luxury life in America, without hijab.
Yes for us ordinary women in Iran: show our hair, lose our face, beaten by morality police, arrested, blacklisted, and even get killed like Mahsa, Jina Amini.
Outside Iran: be connected to the regime, enjoy your freedom.
Mă bucur că brățările dacice și Coiful de la Coțofenești au fost recuperate și îi felicit pe procurorii români și olandezi care au făcut parte din echipa comună de anchetă. Apreciez, totodată, sprijinul Agenției Uniunii Europene pentru Cooperare în Justiție Penală (Eurojust).
Autoritățile române au responsabilitatea de a-și asuma, pe viitor, o gestionare mult mai atentă a unor obiecte de o importanță istorică și culturală excepțională pentru patrimoniul românesc, prin reguli mai stricte și aplicate corect.
Tezaurul național este parte a identității noastre istorice, iar păstrarea lui în siguranță înseamnă mai mult decât un simplu act de cultură: înseamnă protejarea unor simboluri care ne definesc, au un impact puternic asupra întregii societăți și reprezintă moștenirea viitoarelor generații.
I would note again that Ukrainians abroad are not burning down Russian cultural centers or Russian schools worldwide. Even though they certainly have plenty of reasons to do so.
But “anti-Zionists” (sic!) burning ambulances in London just because they have a Star of David on it – that’s always on the table.
That’s why I don’t believe in any “anti-Zionism.” It’s simply antisemitism that has once again become acceptable.
I myself, to put it mildly, am not thrilled with Israel’s policies in recent times. And many people aren’t thrilled with U.S. policies either. So what – are people burning anything American in Europe? Not really.
