Pirms 54 gadiem aprīlī uz Mēnesi devās misija "Apollo 16”. Astronauti izkāpa uz Mēness virsmas, kur viņiem bija jāizpilda arī kāds ASV departamenta rīkojums. Uz Mēness jānovieto Latvijas, Lietuvas un Igaunijas karogs. Tas bija simbolisks atbalsta žests Baltijas valstīm, kuras bija okupējusi Padomju Savienība.

Manās acīs jebkurš Saeimas deputāts, kurš balsos par Stambulas konvencijas denonsēšanu, līdz ar to būs sevi pierādījis kā Putina propagandas iespaidotu. Te absolūti sen vairs nav runa par šīs konvencijas saturisko būtību. Nedrīkstam krist laukā no Eiropas vērtību kodola!

⚡️🇵🇱🇷🇺 Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski at the UN Security Council meeting:

"To the representatives of Russia, I have this to say: we know you don't care for the international law and you're incapable of living in peace with your neighbours. Your insane nationalism contains a lust for domination that will not cease until you realize that the age of empires is over, and that your empire will not be rebuilt. Every drone strike by the heroes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - may God bless them - brings this day closer. Your 'three-day Special Military Operation' can't even conquer Donbas for ten years now. But the potential for criminal, catastrophic Russian mistakes is still there. By ordering mobilization in 1914, you precipitated the start of World War I, which bleed Europe white, and led to your Bolshevik revolution. By signing the Hitler-Stalin pact, you helped launch World War II - the bloodiest in history. By sovietising central Europe, you caused the Cold War. Don't start another one. We are peaceful democracies, who have studiously avoided actively joining your attempt to re-conquer Ukraine. But we will not be intimidated. I have only one request to the Russian government: if another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission - deliberately or 'by mistake' - and gets shot down, and the wreckage falls on NATO territory, please don't come here to whine about it. You have been warned. Thank you."

Nothing has changed - Russia repeats the same false pretexts to attack neighbors, occupy lands and kill innocents. Beyond war, it spreads lies, wages cyberattacks, weaponizes energy and destabilizes the world.

Very well said

[Ulf Kristersson @SwedishPM]

Dear Viktor,

I understand that there is an election campaign in your country, and that this time you are truly being challenged for power.

But we do not interfere in your election campaign, nor do we want to become part of it.

Sweden and the Swedish people have always been friends of Hungary and the Hungarian people, as you know. We were friends of Hungary before your government, during your government, and we will remain so after your government.

We remember when Hitler’s genocide of Jews struck Hungary, and how Sweden in 1944 sent diplomat Raoul Wallenberg on a special mission to Budapest, to save as many Hungarian lives as possible.

Tens of thousands of Hungarian Jews survived because we provided them with provisional protective passports and citizenship here in Sweden. When the Soviet Union later invaded Hungary, Raoul Wallenberg was forcibly taken to Moscow and disappeared.

The Swedish diplomat died, but tens of thousands of Hungarian lives were saved. We would do it again.

We also remember when the Soviet Union brutally crushed your Hungarian struggle for democracy and freedom in 1956, and when Prime Minister Imre Nagy was later executed for his efforts to democratize the country.

When Russian tanks crushed the Hungarian freedom struggle, the Hungarian people pleaded with the UN and all Western powers for help. Almost no one listened.
But one country that showed deep solidarity with you was Sweden.

We opened our arms to your freedom fighters and dissidents. We allowed you to build exile opposition against Soviet communism here, despite our non-alignment. It was not without risk for us. But we did it anyway—because it was the right thing to do.

Today, over 40,000 people of Hungarian descent live in Sweden, many of whom are descendants of the Hungarian refugees who came here in connection with the 1956 uprising. They are a well-integrated immigrant group in our Swedish society.

Democratic states help each other, then and now. And they stand up against countries that try to oppress others.

That is why, just as in 1944 and 1956, we support democratic countries that Russian tanks try to overrun. Back then, it was about Hungary; today, it is about Ukraine. And if we do not act, it could be about another country tomorrow.

This is also why we often express concern about the developments in Hungary in recent years. Hungary ultimately regained its freedom, but freedom must also be defended.

That is why we question when you go to have coffee with the leader of the same country that crushed your compatriots’ freedom struggle in 1956 and that today attacks your neighbour, Ukraine.

Hungary and the West are not strengthened by closing the door to their European friends or by attacking each other and the very things that distinguish us from barbarism — democracy and the rule of law.

Let me conclude with some wise words from yourself in 2007:

“As kind of a new generation of the West, our message to those younger than we is to stick to a Western type Hungary, not to let Hungary be derailed from its Western path, and to love that Hungary is a Western type country, which means that we believe in the free will of people and in the mutual responsibility towards each other that we take upon us, which are inseparable parts of Western culture.

The oil might come from the east, but freedom always comes from the west. And democracy cannot be directed from above, it can only grow from the hearts of people and in this way create a viable, Hungarian life.”

Finally, I wish to convey Sweden’s respect for the Hungarian people, and to wish your country a free, peaceful, and successful election.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: A massive report exposes that Trump purchased $100,000,000 in bonds tied to companies DIRECTLY impacted by his policies. That smells like insider trading and is IMPEACHABLE.

Overall, Trump has made $3.4 BILLION in the last 8 months.

Nedaudz no tā ārprāta, ko krievija dara okupētajās teritorijās...

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

As the news, rumors and speculations about possible presidential meetings and other developments are coming in large numbers, I wanted to post this.

Ukrainians are often asked: why don't you just accept Russia's conditions and end the war? This is a small glimpse into why that is deadly for Ukraine.

We remember Bucha, Izium, Kherson and other Ukrainian cities that have been under Russian occupation. Everywhere, civilians were tortured, murdered, imprisoned, displaced.
Russia doesn't follow rhe rules of war and the Geneva conventions. It comducts genocide.

In this previously unseen surveillance footage, 70-year-old Bucha resident Volodymyr Rubailo is executed by Russian soldiers on Yablunska Street in Bucha, Kyiv region, on March 4, 2022.

The videos clearly show Russian troops wounding Volodymyr Rubailo with the first shot. Then, as the unarmed civilian was barely standing, they deliberately shot him in the head, killing him.

Shortly after, Russian soldiers began looting a nearby supermarket, while Volodymyr's body remained lying on the ground. They smashed the glass and entered the supermarket, stuffing stolen goods into baskets and bags, and loading them onto armored vehicles. To carry off even more, some Russian soldiers filled shopping carts and pushed them down the street toward recently seized homes of Bucha residents.

The murder of Volodymyr Rubailo may have been committed by Russian paratroopers from the 234th Air Assault Regiment from Pskov - specifically, a group led by Sergeant Vladimir Borzunov. According to an investigation by Radio Liberty, exactly his unit was stationed at the position from which, according to Ukrainian ballistic experts, the shot at the civilian was fired.

In a phone call with a Radio Liberty correspondent, Sergeant Borzunov confirmed that Russian troops were indeed responsible for Rubailo’s killing, but denied any personal involvement, as well as that of the soldiers under his command.
