Since last night, first responders and all necessary services have been working wherever needed. As of now, at least 83 people have been confirmed injured since midnight. Tragically, there are fatalities. My condolences to the families and loved ones.
It was a heavy attack – 90 missiles of various types, many of them ballistic missiles – 36 in total. There were 600 drones. Unfortunately, not all of the ballistic missiles were intercepted – the largest number of hits was in Kyiv. Kyiv was the primary target of this Russian attack.
Putin can’t even pronounce the word “hurrah” clearly anymore – slurs and mumbles – yet he is still vanquishing residential buildings with his missiles. Launched three Russian missiles against a water supply facility. Burned down a market. Damaged dozens of residential buildings. Hit several ordinary schools. Launched his “Oreshnik” against Bila Tserkva. They really are unhinged.
It is important that this does not pass without consequences for Russia. Today, everyone in the world who will not stay silent and chooses to help Ukraine is a defender of life. It is critically important to continue working to secure air defense for Ukraine, especially anti-ballistic capabilities.
We are doing our best to achieve peace and protect people – everything. It is important that Ukraine is not alone. Decisions are needed – from the United States, from Europe and others – to make that old “Oreshnik” in Moscow finally utter the word “peace.”
Страшно осознавать, что ровно год назад Алексей был еще жив. Позже, днем 16 февраля стали появляться сообщения о его смерти. В них не хотелось верить и в начале казалось, что это может быть какая-то «утка», но потом стало понятно, что нет, убили.
И вот прошел год. И за этот год сильно не доставало оптимизма Навального и его веры в неминуемую победу добра. Юмора Алексея, его силы, энергии и фирменных словечек типа «чучундрики» или «свинобомжи» (применительно к ведущим РашиТудей, конечно) Его последних постов из тюрьмы, наполненных каким-то невыразимым образом не обидой, а светом.
Покойся с миром, дорогой друг. Мы помним и скорбим.
På full fart inn i sommermånedene byr vårens siste uke på rekordvarme 28,8 grader i Nordland og en smule påkrevd regnskyll her sørpå. For oss endringsagenter handler det likevel mest om AI denne uken, - for du har vel hørt om Antropic håper vi...

I know that some people that know me from a professional setting – I am a senior cyber security advisor with about ten years of experience fighting Russian espionage – may find the language of my trench-style disinformation fighting a bit much.
For posterity I want to say: 1/14
Now, in this time of Russian aggression against our independence, against life and humanity, everyone sees that this is also a time that unites, a time when it is so important to remain human, to take care of each other, and to protect life. These are the components of our Ukrainian strength that are directed against all the pain and grief that Russia causes.
Everyone who makes efforts to help people strengthens our entire country and our Ukrainian morale. I thank everyone who works for the sake of our people.
Situasjonen i Ukraina er helt prekær, og ukrainerne er avhengig av all den støtten de kan få. I dag er jeg forsiktig optimist, det regjeringa kommer med er en start, men vi må få på plass mye mer. 🇺🇦

I am grateful to the United States House of Representatives, both parties, and personally Speaker Mike Johnson for the decision that keeps history on the right track.
Democracy and freedom will always have global significance and will never fail as long as America helps to protect it. The vital U.S. aid bill passed today by the House will keep the war from expanding, save thousands and thousands of lives, and help both of our nations to become stronger.
Just peace and security can only be attained through strength.
We hope that bills will be supported in the Senate and sent to President Biden’s desk. Thank you, America!
Det skjedde litt av hvert innen norsk politikk denne uken. Mens en statsråd omtrent måtte bæres ut mens hun ropte at det er vondt å ikke bli trodd, valgte andre å kaste inn håndkle og medlemskort. Samtidig har uken bydd på noen spektakulære saltomortaler og oppsiktsvekkende m ...
Knut Anton Mork, Professor ved NTNU, mener vi nå må bryte selvpålagte regler for Oljepengebruk.
Fordi: "Krigen i Ukraina er en eksistensiell konflikt mellom liberalt demokrati og diktatur, mellom slaveri og frihet. Hvis Putins Russland får det som de vil i Ukraina, er det all grunn til å vente at andre europeiske land vil stå for tur."
