The Russian and Belarusian campaign promoting migration packages from African and Middle Eastern countries to Europe continues on TikTok.

Both countries are weaponizing migration against the EU while giving false hope to people in these countries.

🚨Poll finds Irish people would overwhelmingly prefer to end Alumina exports to Russia over protecting local
Jobs

Irish NAFO takes great solace in this as we continue the fight against Alumina exports & ensure the democratic will as expressed in the EU Parliament is carried out

1/ 🧵 A Russian-owned refinery in Finland is quietly turning Russian nickel into "Western" metal — and shipping a copper by-product back to Russia.

Through 4+ (or 12+) years of war, the EU has never sanctioned it. We built NICKEL22 to expose it. 🇫🇮🇷🇺

Sorry, but anyone who seriously believes that a sanctioned Russian oligarch from the Kremlin’s inner circle, and one of the biggest beneficiaries of Russia’s war against Ukraine, decided on his own, without the Kremlin’s approval, to publish an article in a Western outlet because he’s some courageous free thinker who genuinely just wants “change” and “respect” for Russia simply does not understand Russia.

The desire to find a hero who will “come and fix everything” is extraordinarily naïve.

Good morning from The Hague 🇳🇱

While Europe tries to cripple putin’s war economy with sanction after sanction, Dutch brand Spar keeps opening new supermarkets in russia.

Hundreds of stores. New openings in moscow this year. Sanctioned goods on the shelves.

@SPARInt claims they “can’t” terminate the old licensing contracts. Experts strongly disagree.

Ending the licences would:
• Stop brand misuse & normalising aggression
• Align with Dutch government policy (“unacceptable to do business in russia”)
• Be fully possible under current EU law that better protects companies against russian claims

@ThijsReuten - time to push harder on this.‼️
Dutch brands should not profit from this war.

This must stop. Pls share.

Have a great day everyone.
Keep supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦

Reuters is reporting that Germany is funding the production of 50,000 Shrike FPV UAVs, worth ~€90 million for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Ukrainian manufacturer SkyFall has confirmed Germany's involvement. Deliveries have already begun and are to be completed by the end of 2026.

Elon Musk's foundation paid Tommy Robinson's trip to Russia.

This system of international far-right oligarchy should make more people angry.

Albanian prosecutors allege that businessman Artur Shehu, who sold about €110 million worth of coastal land for a luxury resort backed by Jared Kushner, used forged property deeds to claim ownership.

Authorities also accuse Shehu of money laundering, drug trafficking, and using criminal proceeds to build a real estate empire.

They have frozen the sale proceeds, preventing him from receiving the money.

Shehu denies all allegations through his lawyer.

The developers say they believe the land purchase was lawful and will cooperate with any legal process.

It seems the total has settled on 17 ships being hit for tonight's raid into the Sea of Azov.

💡Massive power outages in the occupied territories of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, as well as in occupied Crimea.

Power went out in Henichesk and Melitopol.

In Crimea, there is a complete blackout. Simferopol, Yalta, Kerch, Feodosia, Alushta, Sudak, and Sevastopol are currently in complete darkness.

🤯 Spain’s National Court has revoked a Navy sergeant’s security clearance after he concealed his marriage to a Russian citizen and expressed pro-Russian views, El País reports.

The electronic warfare specialist had access to information classified as “NATO Secret.”

Last seven days at least three likely false flagged tankers have passed German and/or Danish territory. None via Sweden.

These tankers are likely breaking international maritime law and can be stopped at any time by any navy, to ascertain flag status.

❗️Russian monitoring channels report that Ukrainian drones are again operating over the Azov Sea. Likely hunting for tankers and other vessels. #Ukraine

As I wrote a year ago, watch the actions of the Trump admin through the eyes of someone who has watched democracy turn into autocracy. Centralizing election authority, expanding federalized troops and putting them in the streets, cracking down on the press. It's not original.

The Commission officially recommends EACEA to terminate the €2 million grant to the Venice Biennale.

This follows a thorough assessment of the replies from the Biennale to justify the re-opening of Russia’s pavillon.

[Oleksandra Matviichuk @avalaina]

From the pages of The Economist, Putin addresses the leaders of democratic countries with a simple message: 

It is wrong to put pressure on Russia, so you must change your approach and, as before, silently acquiesce to all the crimes of the Kremlin.

In this article by a Putin-aligned oligarch, there isn’t even a hint that it is Russia that needs to change its approach -

to stop spending half its budget on war, to release journalists, artists, scientists, and environmentalists from prison, to stop killing people and destroying residential buildings, hospitals, museums, and kindergartens in Ukraine. 

And most importantly, to stop this bloody war that has already caused more than a million Russian casualties alone.

And if that is the case, then it means the approach of democratic countries is correct. We must keep up the pressure. The cost of war for Putin must become higher than the cost of peace.

And then peace will have a chance.
