That’s hilarious. Lukashenka is so nervous about Tsikhanouskaya’s visit to Kyiv that he claimed she went there to prepare mercenaries from #Belarus, Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania to occupy a region in Belarus. Must be stressful for him!

What are today’s Russian papers reporting about the second anniversary of Alexei Navalny’s death & the joint statement by the UK, Sweden, France, Germany & The Netherlands that Mr Navalny was poisoned with a lethal toxin?

Nothing.

@LukaszukAB @MarkJCarney @donaldtusk Someone should post these comments to Mark Rutte.

Can Canada trust the U.S. after Venezuela?

@drmarples says it could be a historic turning point, arguing the U.S. has become a rogue state rather than one run on moral authority, and that Canada and democratic allies need to remain firm.

HOLY CRAP! Trump is literally falling in and out of consciousness as his Military commander speaks about kidnapping Maduro and taking over Venezuela.

What a sh-tshow!

@HannaLiubakova I think he could have done. I’ve heard him speak in Belarusian before. He chose not to.
