“I fem døgn var Læsø Kommune i forhøjet beredskab, mens russiske skibe cirkulerede rundt i et område med vigtige søkabler” Det interessante ved den slags hændelser er netop, at myndighederne bliver nødt til at reagere - de få ressourcer, vi har, bliver spredt endnu tyndere www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...
Russiske skibe udløste kommunalt kriseberedskab
I fem døgn var Læsø Kommune i forhøjet beredskab, mens russiske skibe cirkulerede rundt i et område med vigtige søkabler.

While it's definitely serious that a Russian frigate fired flares at a Danish helicopter, it's important to remember that a similar thing happened to a German helicopter in 2024. It would be wrong to interpret this incident as evidence of escalation on its own.

Det er lige nu uklart hvorfor den russiske fregat affyrede flares mod Forsvarets helikopter. En ting er klart. Det er en del af et mønster: øget spænding i Østersøen under tærsklen til en egentlig krig. Kan det blive vildere? Ja, vi er i gang med at se en gradvis eskalation.
Summa summarum efter Witkoff og Kushners besøg i Moskva og Kyiv: Der er absolut intet, der tyder på, at krigen slutter i 2026. Der er heller ikke ret meget, der tyder på, at den slutter i 2027. Den vil efter al sandsynlighed fortsætte i 2028 og muligvis også endnu længere. Desværre.

Had the pleasure to return to my classic topic, pro-Russian disinformation, in this interview. Some things change, however, it is also remarkable how many of the patterns and dynamics I studied back in 2017 are the same now in 2026.
Kevin Shakir@kevinshakir.bsky.social · 4w agoFake stories keep spreading lies regarding Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson - during ongoing elections. The content is pushed in the pattern seen in the pro Russian disinformation ‘Matryoshka campaign’, says @antibot4navalny.bsky.social and @golovchenko.bsky.social to us at DR. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...
Regardless of whether the missile strike on Poland is intentional hybrid warfare or an accident, the effect is likely the same. Russia gets to sow fear and “salami slice” NATO further by observing where our boundaries go below the threshold of a formal war
My mind is equally boggled (and sad) when some folks equate Mearsheimer with International Relations or even Realism. Luckily, both the field and the theoretical tradition are much greater (and diverse) than his takes on the war
Anders Puck Nielsen@anderspucknielsen.dk · 2mo agoJohn Mearsheimer has started a new YouTube channel, and he has gotten almost 80k subscribers in two days. It boggles the mind. Few people have been so consistently wrong about the war in Ukraine as Mearsheimer, and yet, people are still lining up to hear his takes.
Nyheden om udsigt til nye amerikanske sanktioner mod Rusland er vigtig, da USA har mere vægt i bl.a. finansverden end Europa. De har ikke indført mange nye sanktioner siden Trump blev præsident for anden gang, mens Europa bårede fanen videre. www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...
Senatet i USA 'hylder Lindsey Graham' med stort flertal for at gå videre med nye sanktioner mod Rusland
Ukraines præsident, Volodymyr Zelenskyj, overværede afstemningen om at gå videre med en omfattende lovpakke om sanktioner mod russisk energi.

Interessant og nuanceret artikel. Men overskriften skaber undren. Rusland har beskyldt de baltiske lande for at diskriminere russere i mindst 2 årtier nu. Det er ikke pludseligt blevet deres tur, men snarere en vedvarende virkelighed www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...
Engang var det Ukraine, Putin beskyldte for at diskriminere russere. Nu er det de baltiske landes tur
Rusland varmer op til at sagsøge Estland, Letland og Litauen for det, som de påstår er diskrimination af de russisktalende mindretal.

EUs 21. sanktionspakke kan også få betydning for Danmark. Tiltagene kan øge presset på den russiske skyggeflåde, der regelmæssigt sejler forbi Danmark. Men samtidigt undlader den at øge nok pres på det russiske fiskeri, der bl.a. kan bruges til overvågning af vores område.
The EU has finally reached an agreement on the 21st sanction package against Russia. There are good and bad news. The good news: There will be measures against vessels that service the shadow fleet. The price on Russian crude oil will be frozen. bsky.app/profile/vond...
Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu · 2mo agoI welcome the agreement on the 21st sanctions package against Russia. At a time when Ukraine has built military momentum, our sanctions continue to weaken the economic foundations of Russia’s war effort. We’re adding 32 more Russian banks to our transaction ban list.
It would be a major self-own if the Kremlin actually restricted Apple Store in the country. You could say that this would be an equivalent of Russia imposing sanctions on Russia. Interesting to see if this is actually the case. united24media.com/world/app-st...

The EU’s 21st sanction package should hopefully be there within days. I would especially keep an eye on measures against Russian fisheries and non-Russian bunkering services. The former poses a hybrid threat to NATO countries. The latter helps Russia with sanction busting

Det er rigtigt at Ukraine er gået over til at angribe skyggeflåden i løbet af det seneste år. De fleste angreb er dog i Sortehavet og Det Azovske have. Lige nu er det kun os, bl.a. Danmark og EU, der for alvor kan bremse for trafikken gennem Østersøen www.dr.dk/nyheder/udla...

Reading complaints on Russian Telegram channels about lack of gas can easily give the impression that some folks have been expecting a comfortable war. I have a hypothesis: Maybe it’s partly a byproduct of the nearly religious worship of a sanitized version of WW2 victory
The absurdity of the US war against Iran: Trump openly built the campaign on the assumption that it needs to be quick to succeed. All Iran needs to ruin US plans is to prolong the war. It so happens that Trump tolerates endless negotiations - experience with Iran’s ally, Russia, shows exactly that

Nothing says “Russian military might” like Crimeans being prohibited from fueling at the gas station starting from yesterday. Only authorities are exempt. This is the kind of thing that has the potential to add political and psychological pressure
Pro-Russian Telegram channels in Crimea are not in a good mood today. Fuel shortages. Calls to save electricity. Fear of attacks and even amphibious operations. Street events being cancelled. Ferries are halted due to “technical issues”. News of 700+ cars trying to leave Crimea across the bridge
