Albania has successfully suspended the Kushner luxury resort project on the Sazán coastline after massive public protests and pressure from the EU. Thousands of Albanians took to the streets, armed with inflatable flamingos, to defend their natural heritage. This is a significant moment of resistance against oligarchic influences. What does this mean for the future of similar projects in Europe? #FlamingoRevolution #Albania #Kushner

⚡️ 'We're modern people' — Zelensky backs open discussion of LGBTQ+ rights in Ukraine.
"We are all here together, we are defending the state, we are the same and we have absolutely the same rights, regardless of any prejudices held by people from the 15th century," President Volodymyr Zelensky said, in a rare public reference to the topic.

“The Flamingo Revolution”: Trump’s family has angered Albania
Mass protests have been ongoing in Albania for more than two weeks against a planned $5 billion luxury resort backed by Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law.
The complex is set to be built near the Vjosa-Narta protected area and Sazan Island, home to sea turtles, seals, and thousands of flamingos.
Environmentalists warn that the project could destroy hundreds of hectares of unique natural habitat.
After preparatory work began and fences were installed, the protests escalated into clashes with police.
Demonstrators have taken to the streets with slogans such as “Albania is not for sale” and are demanding that the project be scrapped entirely.
Despite the pressure, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has backed the development, calling it important for the country’s economy.
The European Commission has demanded that the construction comply with EU environmental standards.
It is worth noting that Albania is one of the most pro-American countries in Europe.
I can’t wait to board my train to Kyiv.
I used to think Ukraine was the country at war and everywhere else was at peace.
It’s the opposite. Venice, Hungary, Davos, Ireland are all infiltrated with russian madness. Ukraine is the only place that takes the threat seriously. 🫡🙏
🚨 BREAKING: Albania’s Anti-Trump Protests Have Now Entered Day 11.
What began as opposition to the Trump family’s proposed luxury development project has turned into nearly two weeks of sustained demonstrations.
First came the deal.
Then came the backlash.
Now comes Day 11.
The question is whether the pressure changes anything, or whether the standoff gets even bigger from here.

Painfully slow, but we're creeping towards the final third of this. I really hope it doesn't go all summer, but there's not much I can do about it.

EU raises alarm: Serbia is massively granting citizenship to sanctioned Russians
According to an investigation by Radio Free Europe, in the first five months of 2026 alone, 44 Russians received Serbian passports, including individuals listed under US and Ukrainian sanctions.
In total, from 2022 to June 2026, more than 300 Russians were granted Serbian citizenship through an accelerated procedure. Serbian law allows this as an exception if authorities consider it to be in the “interests of the state.”
This provision bypasses the standard naturalization requirements.
The pace of passport issuance to Russians has sharply increased: this year, they received four times more citizenships than all other foreigners combined.
The EU is concerned that Serbian passports could allow sanctioned individuals to circumvent restrictions and travel freely across Europe without visas.
After 4 years of travelling on a parallel path of fighting and ridiculing Russian propaganda, I’ve finally decided to become a NAFO Fella!
Many thanks to @ky_painter for organising this, and to forger @Cindy_Vasko for excellent work in producing my Fella!

Occupiers Have Lost the Ability to Use the Port of Mariupol
As a result of a joint operation conducted by the First Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine Azov, the Main Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, the Special Operations Center «A», and the Unmanned Systems Forces, critical infrastructure facilities of the Mariupol Commercial Port were destroyed.
Electrical substations, radar equipment, repair infrastructure, the control tower, and fuel and lubricant storage tanks were hit, as well as the sanctioned dry cargo vessel Lady Augusta, which is part of Russia's shadow fleet.
Through the coordinated efforts of all units involved, the enemy has suffered another painful blow. The Mariupol Sea Commercial Port has been left without power, and Russian military logistics have been significantly disrupted. Azov continues to monitor logistics capabilities and enforce sanctions against Russians in the Sea of Azov region.
Glory to Ukraine!
We continue to apply Ukrainian long-range sanctions against Russian military facilities and the oil industry. In particular, last night Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingos struck a military plant in Cheboksary that supplies the occupier’s army with components for drones and missiles. I thank the Armed Forces of Ukraine for their precision! The Kuibyshev oil refinery in the Samara region was also hit last night. The distance from the frontline is more than 900 kilometers. I am grateful to the warriors of the Special Operations Forces, the Unmanned Systems Forces, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. The entirely just responses of the Security Service of Ukraine also reached two oil infrastructure facilities in the Vladimir region, at a distance of 700 kilometers. I thank everyone who fights and works for Ukraine!
⚡️❗️BREAKING: Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile struck VNIIR-Progress defense industry facility in Cheboksary, Russia. 1000km from the frontline.
Large plumes of smoke are rising above the city.
🏭 VNIIR-Progress is a key Russian military-industrial enterprise involved in the production of electronics, navigation, and guidance systems used by the Russian military.
