In Kyiv, a new opera is tackling one of the most traumatising aspects of Russia’s invasion: the abduction of Ukrainian children. In the new work called “Mothers of Kherson”, music tries to give voice to that unspeakable pain, here’s my report:

@psantacl The same possibility crept into my mind when they were listed as a supply chain risk by the US government. It won’t happen, of course, epic though it would be.

Sadly, the news anchor can’t understand what happened and react accordingly.

Hilarious moment in memories of the great David Hockney - and i sense this entire BBC scene would have entertained him enormously….

Fiona Hill, the former aide to Trump during his first term, participated in the #Kultaranta Talks, organised by the President of Finland, and gave an interesting interview to the Helsingin Sanomat newspaper. Some excerpts:

▪️Greenland could suffer the same fate as Crimea.
▪️Hill says she sees the United States acting more like Russia, the White House more like the Kremlin, and Trump behaving more like Putin. ▪️Hill says that Trump's desire to take over Greenland is psychological. “He wants to own things. This is about him."
▪️”If we look at history, this is exactly how the Soviet Union acted towards its own Warsaw Pact allies: it occupied Hungary, it occupied Czechoslovakia, and it pressured Poland in a way that led to the declaration of martial law in Poland," Hill says.
▪️”Trump is now essentially treating his NATO allies the same way the Soviet leaders treated the Warsaw Pact members: as vassal states and states that have no decision-making power of their own."
▪️On the stage of the Kultaranta discussions, Hill was asked whether Europe can trust the United States.
Hill answered bluntly no. And she reminded that the next administration cannot necessarily be trusted either.

@luismalhadinhas Obrigado, Luís. A ideia é que não seja uma sala de espera. Antes uma coisa nova, de que se possa ser membro autonomamente mas também da UE.
Mudar os procedimentos existentes sem mexer os tratados (e enfrentar referendo em França) será difícil.

Se o alargamento demora, e nalguns casos é praticamente impossível, e se precisamos de mais aliados e alinhados à nossa volta, teremos de construir uma outra Europa, mais parecida com um mercado livre e um acordo de cooperação e segurança. Sem perder a UE. https://t.co/OuzJYrs0ix

@ElefanteTalk Quais deles? Os da UE? Os que seriam necessários? Os que são necessários para os alargamentos? Como os aprovar? Um sarilho. E no entanto, para algum lado teremos de ir.

How China wants to be seen and perceived. This US Administration thinks softpower doesn’t matter. They’re so wrong. “Chinese medical team arrives in DR Congo to help fight Ebola, ‘filling US void’ “| South China Morning Post https://t.co/DjNundvyms

Daqui a uns tempos vai ser importante perceber o que teve mais efeito nas economias nacionais: os anos da troika, nos países que a sofreram, ou o NextGenEU? Ainda é muito cedo, mas o caso italiano não parece favorecer o NextGen.

Germany's Chancellor Merz:

People tell me: "Why don't you work together with the AfD? They agree with you on many issues. You would have a majority in the German Bundestag."

I will not do that. And there is a very simple reason. This party wants to take Germany back to the time before Adenauer.

With Adenauer, we left the age of nationalism behind us in Germany. And I will not lead the Federal Republic of Germany—and I will not lead my party—back behind the era of Adenauer.
