Wenige Wochen später wird der Diktator Putin mit standing ovations in Wien empfang. Staatspräsident, Kammerpräsident, Wirtschaftselite klatschen ihm zu.

Biggest ever Ukrainian drone raid on military facilities and military industry sites in and around Russia’s St Petersburg. The ammunition arsenal of the Baltic Sea Fleet, the naval base in Kronstadt and the military research center in Peterhof among targets. The governor of St. Petersburg has urged residents not to leave home as the attack goes on.
Yesterday, Putin rejected Zelensky’s peace letter and said that the original goal of “de-nazifying” Ukraine — aka installing a puppet regime in Kyiv — remains unchanged.

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.

Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

😳 It seems Putin was accidentally asked an unscripted question at SPIEF

After the customary praise from Russia-friendly American Rodney Cook and Romanian far-right MEP Diana Șoșoacă, the microphone unexpectedly went to Karin Kneissl — the former Austrian foreign minister whose wedding Putin famously attended.

The question was about modern warfare and drones.

But it wasn’t the question that stood out. It was the answer.

💬 “There is parity on the battlefield. In some areas, we have an advantage... on certain sections.”

Parity?

An advantage only “in some areas” and only “on certain sections”?

That’s a curious thing to hear after years of claims about steady advances and success on every front.

Sometimes, one unscripted question can be more dangerous than a dozen carefully coordinated ones.

Jedes Mal, wenn Sozialismus scheitert, heißt es, das sei nicht der „echte“ Sozialismus gewesen.

Der Kapitalismus hat Milliarden Menschen aus der Armut geholt. Der Sozialismus hat vor allem Flüchtlinge hervorgebracht. Es gibt kein anderes System, das so viele Menschen freiwillig anzieht und keines, aus dem so viele Menschen unfreiwillig fliehen.

Vielleicht sollte man Systeme weniger nach ihren Slogans beurteilen und mehr danach, ob sie Mauern bauen müssen, damit die Menschen nicht weglaufen.

Russian strike on an ambulance in Kherson today.

Russia is systematically tearing Kherson apart, committing one war crime after another. The city is in a desperate, critical situation‼️‼️

Marjane…tu ne m’appelleras pas pour me fêter mon anniversaire et « célébrer ces petites joues que j’adore »…et je ne m’en remets pas.
Tu étais la liberté et la détermination.
Le courage aussi.
Un jour, le peuple iranien sera libre, avec toi et autant que toi.

🇮🇷 📚 🎥 Terrible nouvelle : “L’artiste-iranienne Marjane Satrapi, autrice de la bande dessinée « Persepolis », est « morte de tristesse » à l’âge de 56 ans
Sa BD autobiographique, « Persepolis », l’a révélée au monde entier.” 🕯️

June 4 is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. It honours kids affected by war and violence. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, at least 707 Ukrainian children have been killed. Behind every number is a child whose future has been stolen. Russia must be held accountable for these crimes.

Vernichtungskrieg. Ganze Städte werden in Trümmerhaufen verwandelt. Allein in Mariupol sind 10.000 plus X Zivilisten bei der Eroberung der Stadt ums Leben gekommen. Wir machen uns keine Vorstellung von der Gewaltsamkeit des russischen Vorgehens.

Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa called Roth's Radetzkymarsch "the greatest political novel ever written" -- and who am I to argue with a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature?

For thousands of children in Ukraine, life’s milestone moments, from birthdays to graduations, have become bittersweet.

Instead of gathering in homes or restaurants, many spend these occasions at cemeteries beside the graves of parents who gave their lives defending Ukraine.

Ich habe das Buch "Überfall" genau aus dem Grund geschrieben, damit die Bevölkerung Österreichs ein konkretes Bild davon bekommt, was uns im militärischen Ernstfall in den nächsten Jahren erwarten könnte, und warum es daher besser ausgebildete Soldaten braucht.

He was only three years old😭

Born during Russia’s full-scale invasion, he never had the chance to know what peace feels like.

The war he was born into is the war that killed him.
