Listen to my comment on the sham elections in #Belarus for @Monocle_Radio. This was the first campaign post-2020, and the regime orchestrated it like a special operation, with heightened security, ubiquitous police presence and 30,000 CCTV cameras.

Baltische staten die qua gas voor 90% afhankelijk zijn van Rusland: "Vanaf vandaag importeren we geen RU gas meer."
Nederland, belastingparadijs voor Russische oligarchen en mafiosi: "We stellen binnenkort een coordinator aan"
So the same pple who believe that Trump won the election, weightlifting combined with hydroxychloroquine, cures Covid, masks and vaccines don't work but are part of a plot to subjugate citizens, & Bitcoin solves everything, now believe that Putin may have a point in Ukraine.
Nach dem Abschuss des Linienflugs MH17 über der Ukraine durch prorussische Separatisten druckte @derspiegel diesen Titel. Es gab massive Kritik in sozialen Medien. Im gleichen Heft stand auch dieser Leitartikel: https://t.co/dR8TTKMIRo
Third, we will target the other aggressor in this war, Lukashenko’s regime, with a new package of sanctions, hitting their most important sectors.
All these measures come on top of the strong package presented yesterday,
agreed by our international partners.
Second, we will ban the Kremlin’s media machine in the EU.
The state-owned Russia Today and Sputnik, and their subsidiaries,
will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin’s war.
We are developing tools to ban their toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe.
First, we are shutting down the EU airspace for Russian-owned, Russian registered or Russian-controlled aircraft.
They won’t be able to land in, take off or overfly the territory of the EU.
Including the private jets of oligarchs.
⚡️Cyprus and Italy change their position and support cutting Russia off SWIFT.

Hungary remains the only EU country that opposes this measure.
Найбільша демонстрація в історії сучасної Естонії відбулася на підтримку України. Я вдячний естонському народові та @AlarKaris за солідарність у ці складні часи. Пане Президенте, вам личить наша вишиванка!
The largest demonstration in the modern history of Estonia took place in support of Ukraine. I am grateful to the Estonian people and @AlarKaris for their solidarity in these difficult times. Mr. President, our vyshyvanka suits you.
#Estonia is banning Russian airlines from our airspace. We invite all EU countries to do the same. There is no place for planes of the agressor state in democratic skies. #StandWithUkraine
Putin wants war. But people want peace, freedom & the right to make their choices.
Further, massive, sanctions, with nothing off the table, are important - we can do more. Including the exclusion of #Russia from the SWIFT system.
We remain #WithUkraine.
We call on Russia to immediately stop the violence and to withdraw its troops from Ukraine's territory.
In these dark hours, the European Union stands together with Ukraine and its people.

Jongens, ik snap de paniek - maar misschien, hear me out - is dit wel het minst-erge scenario, in ieder geval het minste bloedvergieten. Dat Russische tanks die rebellengebieden nu inrijden, dat is helaas al jaren zo. Als het hier bij blijft komt iedereen met de schrik vrij.
I condemn #Russia recognition of Donetsk/Luhansk in #Ukraine. It erodes efforts to resolve the conflict & violates Minsk agreements. #NATO supports Ukraine sovereignty & territorial integrity. We urge Moscow to stop fuelling conflict & choose diplomacy. https://t.co/H4yczPG8XM
