"Russian drone strikes on a busy Ukrainian shopping mall on Friday evening killed at least 16 people and injured more than 130 others, including 23 children, according to local authorities. 

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said that Russian drones hit the mall in the south-central city of Kryvyi Rih during peak shopping hours in broad daylight.

'The attack drones struck in two waves — half an hour after the first hit and the fire, there was a second strike targeting the emergency responders,' Zelenskyy said of the bombardment that targeted his hometown."

Applebaum: Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner negotiated with Russia over Ukraine while discussing mineral, oil and gas deals for connected US companies. They were not bargaining for Ukrainian security or America's European allies. That is a profound abuse of American power. 1/

According to the Ukrainian Air Force, last night Russia launched 656 OWA drones, 8 Tsirkon missiles, 33 Iskander-M / S-400 ballistic missiles, 5 Kalibr cruise missiles, and 27 Kh-101 cruise missiles.

@polidemitolog Yes, kind of. One thing is clear: Vučić is not very much liked and everyone understands thugs à la Ivan Bogdanov are remote controlled to destabilise just when needed.

@Marieddutzulla Mamma mia che cazzaro

@Marieddutzulla @NicolaMelloni Dopo le tante balle sul caso Markiv, De Biase dovrebbe soltanto tacere. E invece è ancora lì, continua ad esporre le sue tesi sbilenche con la tipica sicumera di chi in 12 anni ha capito davvero poco o nulla. Ma non è un caso isolato, è tipico degli italiani a Mosca.

@Marieddutzulla E pensare invece che costui fa grandi proclami sui pericoli che l’Occidente corre sostenendo l’ultra destra nazionalista di Kyiv. Ma che ci faccia il piacere di occuparsi ad altro.

[Papa Leone XIV @Pontifex_it]

Invito tutti a unirsi nella preghiera per il martoriato popolo ucraino e per tutti coloro che soffrono a causa di questa guerra e di ogni conflitto nel mondo, perché possa risplendere sui nostri giorni il dono tanto atteso della pace.

@Marieddutzulla Sempre a confondere mele con pere. Quanto è mediocre il dibattito italiano

[Michele di Lascio @my_ke_le]

@BielorussaRM Una categoria davvero insopportabile. E stranamente persino poco attaccata rispetto ad altre casate, tipo i tassisti o i balneari.

[Michele di Lascio @my_ke_le]

@polidemitolog have an insane amount of bureaucracy for their employees. And one doesn’t even need to remind the awful restrictions and violation of privacy imposed after 9/11.
The reality is that those guys attacking the EU for being too bureaucratic is total nonsense.

[Michele di Lascio @my_ke_le]

@polidemitolog Parts of the US admin is also horribly bureaucratic. Think of everything around visas and immigration policy. Filing taxes as a non-resident US person feels extremely bureaucratic, too. Ultimately, I’d also point out that American bi corporations (including the big tech)…

[Michele di Lascio @my_ke_le]

@BielorussaRM Sì, ogni tanto qualcosa di buono riesce bene.

#PopeLeo: Abortion is “deplorable” and surrogacy “distorts the family”

Direct words from the pontiff today in his address to ambassadors to the Holy See, widely regarded as his most political speech of the year.

Breaking: Pope denounces euthanasia as a "deceptive form of compassion".

@polidemitolog This also makes him similar to Putin, though with little evidence he changes favourites that frequently

[Michele di Lascio @my_ke_le]

@maxdantoni @Marieddutzulla Questa era ed è tuttora la sua posizione, piuttosto rappresentativa del pacifismo italiano: rifiutarsi di capire che non può esiste uno straccio di trattativa dopo che un paese sovrano con elicotteri, carri armati, droni, mercenari, ha invaso un altro paese sovrano.

@polidemitolog @yanisvaroufakis Hahahahhahah

I’m looking forward to hearing from the Mearsheimer crowd how this was all Maduro’s fault: if he hadn’t have been flirting with Russia and ignoring Washington’s vital great-power interests, none of this would be happening, obviously.
