When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
The Curonians were one of the fiercest and wealthiest Western Baltic tribes, inhabiting the southeastern coast of the Baltic Sea. They were renowned not only as farmers, fishermen and traders, but also as exceptional seafarers who repeatedly clashed with the Vikings and occasionally launched their own raids on Scandinavian shores.
The power and legacy of the Curonians still live on today through remarkable archaeological sites. Among the most famous is Apuolė Hillfort, a place that bears witness to Curonian battles, trade and the rich culture of the Baltic tribes🇱🇹

⚡ BREAKING: EU proposes first-ever entry ban on anyone who has served in the Russian military since the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Ursula von der Leyen says.
Video with subtitles of yesterday’s attempted beheading of a young British man by a Somali migrant in Belfast. It’s a hard watch but Europeans must see it.
Those who intervened and smashed a shovel over the attackers’ head are heroes
They most likely saved that young man’s life
This is such a spectacular performance of Lithuanian heritage 🇱🇹
I’m amazed that a Lithuanian song, performed by non-native speakers, could have such a strong impact ✨
Thank you to the Georgia Tech University Chamber Choir!
Imagine you are a dental hygienist and live in Sweden..
You are employed to help “migrant children” with their dental issues.
As part of your job you examine the wisdom teeth development of the kids and you notice that 80% of those “kids” have fully formed wisdom teeth, implying they are not kids at all but adults older than the age of 18.
You tell the Swedish Migration Agency and they advise you to put it in writing.
When you send exact details, with examples of specific patients you are suspended, investigated and fired for disclosing private information relating to patients.
This happened to Bernt Herlitz in 2017.
When he appealed the unfair dismissal he ultimately lost and was fined about $50,000.
He and his family faced financial hardship and almost lost their home, until some generous benefactors raised money for him. Bernt remains unemployed today, despite staff shortages for dentists in his area in Gotland.
At the time, Sweden scoffed at the tests and claimed they were “discriminatory” but since then they have quietly brought in mass dental testing, for those whose age is in doubt, by the National Board of Forensic Medicine.
Bernt deserves a medal. Not vilification and unemployment.
Per 2025 metus į Lietuvą grįžo gyventi 19,3 tūkst. Lietuvos piliečių. Jau penkerius metus iš eilės grįžtančių skaičius yra didesnis nei išvykstančių.
net 41 % visų grįžtančiųjų į Lietuvą sudaro būtent 25–35 metų amžiaus grupė. Ši darbingo amžiaus grupė yra pati aktyviausia
In 1919–1922, Lithuanian Americans organized one of the largest political campaigns in diaspora history, collecting around 1 million signatures from American citizens urging the U.S. government to recognize Lithuania's independence. The stacks seen in this photograph are the petition volumes themselves. The United States officially recognized Lithuania on July 28, 1922.
Vatnik was talking shit about Lithuanian YouTube creator. Lithuanian YouTube creator took vatnik to court. Lithuanian court decided that little vatnik indeed was spreading lies. Little vatnik made public apology, and will transfer compensation for non-material damage to Lithuanian Charity Foundation "Mušk Maskvėna, sotus" "Beat the muscovite until you are full"

🇫🇷 Nacionalistas japoneses están compartiendo un video reciente de París, Francia. Están advirtiendo a Japón: "Esto es lo que sucede cuando se recibe a millones de africanos. Convierten sus ciudades en África".
So feiern übrigens die Polen den Gewinn ihrer Mannschaft...
Kaum ein Unterschied zu Paris! 🤡
Ausserdem haben sie den gesamten Platz beim Verlassen wieder aufgeräumt!
France has Fallen 🇫🇷
Just a reminder…
France has nuclear weapons.
Now that France has become 3rd world, the French have been ethnically replaced & the nation has been conquered by foreign criminals, I don’t think they should have access to nuclear weapons.
They can’t even control their own streets or defend & protect their own native people.
Hard to watch what was once a strong people & a beautiful nation fall like this.
What is happening in Paris right now should be a wake up call to the West!
It is time to crack down hard on immigration across the Western world if we do not want it to be “South Africanised”.
🇦🇫 CNN tracked down a 9-year-old Afghani girl who was sold to a 70-year-old man.
She says it happened because her father did it because they don't have "bread, rice, and flower."
The BBC, meanwhile, promotes these men as victims of poverty.
A Lithuanian duo from 'nešvankiai' who were in Vienna for Eurovision were met by a Russian suggesting a restaurant only later to be told to 'Learn Russian' 🙃🙃🙃
Vilnius has kicked off one of its most colorful and beloved summer traditions – the Pink Soup Festival.
Inspired by Lithuania’s iconic cold beetroot soup, šaltibarščiai, thousands of visitors are filling the streets today for a celebration that blends food, culture, and plenty of pink.
TVP World's Correspondent Alex Sumlinsky reports from Vilnius.
Finnish scientists trucked in real forest dirt and grass and laid it over the gravel at four daycare yards. They let the kids dig around in it for a month. The blood tests came back with changes the researchers hadn’t expected to see so fast or so clear.
The study ran at ten daycares in two Finnish cities with 75 kids aged three to five. Four of the yards got the forest treatment: about a tennis court worth of soil and grass laid over the gravel, plus planters and peat blocks the kids could dig and climb on. Three others stuck with their normal gravel yards. The last three were daycares where the kids were already visiting real forests every day.
After one month, the variety of bacteria living on the kids’ skin shot up, and the kind that helps train the skin’s immune defenses jumped the most. Their gut bacteria started to look like the gut bacteria of the forest-visiting kids. Their blood showed more of the immune cells whose job is to keep the body from freaking out at harmless stuff like pollen and peanuts, and overall inflammation dropped. The kids on the plain gravel yards showed none of this.
Childhood asthma in the US doubled between 1980 and 1995. Food allergies in kids jumped 50 percent between 1997 and 2011, then jumped another 50 percent between 2007 and 2021. And peanut allergies in one-year-olds tripled between 2001 and 2017.
The Finnish researchers think one of the reasons is simple: kids today don’t get dirty enough. 37 percent of American preschoolers now spend an hour or less outside on a normal weekday. Their immune systems are getting trained in environments stripped of the bacteria humans have always lived around.
Aki Sinkkonen, who led the study, put it in plain words: “It would be best if children could play in puddles and everyone could dig organic soil.” The Finnish government is now helping pay for daycares across the country to make the same changes.
