The crisis in Ceuta was very likely caused by Russia. They used the same method when migrants attacked Poland from Belarus in 2021. In 2014-2015, Russia bombed Syria causing the largest migration crisis in Europe, the consequences of which are felt even today.
An excellent post by Oleksandra Matviichuk, Volodymyr Yermolenko, Valerii Pekar, and Nataliia Popovych on the outrageous representation by @economist.com of a Putin's puppet. nationalinterest.org/feature/why-...
Why Did ‘The Economist’ Platform a Russian Oligarch?
The magazine’s recent interview discussing the future of Russia merely restated Vladimir Putin’s talking points.

@economist.com , please stop publishing Russian propaganda!
Yuriy Gorodnichenko@ygorodnichenko.bsky.social · 2w agoA new piece with @ilonasolohub.bsky.social The USSR perfected deploying "independent" voices to deliver Kremlin messages while appearing to challenge them. Melnichenko's Economist piece is the same playbook. The correct response to such "visions" is one word: nyet. #Ukraine
Current US administration does what Putin wants it to do: it stopped support for Ukraine, tries to destroy ICC (that labeled Putin war criminal), funds EU ultra-right that would reduce support for Ukraine. Hope being Russia's minions is great enough for MAGA.
The unbreakable stupidity of Western journalists who keep providing platforms to Russian oligarchs (as if those are unrelated to Kremlin) and convincing their readers that break-up of Russia is something bad (as if it's not inevitable) is just insane.
Why a broken Russia is bad for the world
When the war in Ukraine ends, Moscow will need to be part of the new security architecture, argues Andrey Melnichenko

Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) fought for creation of the Ukrainian independent state against both USSR and Nazi Germany. It fought from 1943 until 1956. Afterwards, UPA warriors rebelled in GULAG and started its destruction. Ukraine does not need anyone's permission to commemorate its heroes.
Everyone is amazed at the development of drone industry in Ukraine. Ukrainian firms are ready to share the experience and technologies, but Ukraine needs more "conventional" weapons such as missiles. Our op-ed with @ygorodnichenko.bsky.social www1.project-syndicate.org/commentary/h...

I hope that NATO summit at least produces more Patriot and SAMP-T missiles for Ukraine. This night, none of the 29 ballistic missiles was intercepted. Unfortunately, massive Russian attacks on Kyiv no longer make it to the news.
I expected that Russia would test NATO by attacking one of the Baltic states. Now there are more and more signals that it would try to attack Poland. This is because its information attack on Poland (raising anti-Ukrainian sentiment) was successful: Poland forgot who its TRUE enemy is.
1/3 New episode of #PolicyImplications with Jacob Kirkegaard. We discuss what Europe has actually built since 2022: the EU has become essential on money, sanctions, coordination, and long-term support for UA. But EU defence future increasingly runs through UA. Link: tinyurl.com/5hfs7u9p
Russians are battering each other at gas stations. This is the REAL Russian culture. Glory to Ukrainian Army!
The Telegraph writes that Russia plans to attack Poland or to test NATO in some other way. This is what we have been talking about since 2022: all attempts to negotiate with the aggressor will lead only to escalation. What would have happened if Ukraine capitulated: voxukraine.org/en/from-lisb...

The mayor of Kluzh-Napoka (Romania) prohibited Russian and Belorussian athletes to take part in the World Rhythmics Gymnastics Cup. Because sports is not apart from politics. All you need is a little political will and understanding that aggressor states should not be in the world cups.

In 1941, bolsheviks destroyed Uspensky cathedral of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra built in 11th century. The cathedral was restored in 2000 but tonight rushists tried to destroy it again.
At the colorful St.Petersburg forum Russian fascists presented several scenarios of the future. In the positive (for them) scenario: they occupy Ukraine, the EU falls apart, Russia becomes the world hegemon. This confirms what we wrote three years ago: voxukraine.org/en/from-lisb...

Today Ukrainians reminded St. Petersburg that it was build by our hands, sweat and tears. And businessmen who came to (so far) international economic forum can make many colorful pictures. Enjoy!
The only way Russia is going to stop is when it can no longer produce weapons or fuel its vehicles. Ukraine urgently needs more missiles.
Russian drone almost killed citizens of Romania. Romanian air forces did not shoot it down "to avoid escalation". Obviously, when Russian drones hit houses in Romania, this is NOT escalation.
When Russia tries to destroy Ukraine, a Russian film director gets the main prize in Cannes. I wonder, would they do the same if Russia sent a couple of missiles to France?
Muscovites are very surprised to see some unknown drones in their city. They of course did not care that their army killed hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians and they sincerely wonder "why?" If you though that you should explain something to them - you are wrong. You should donate to Ukraine.

Interesting. Why was this general skeptical about Ukrainians? Is this a "great nation" supremacy that Americans share with Russians?
Roman Sheremeta@rshereme.bsky.social · 4mo agoGeneral Cavoli: "Ukrainians are even better at using the Patriot than the Americans. In my opinion, this is a true success story. Frankly, at first I was a little skeptical that Ukrainians would be able to master the Patriot quickly. Now we're learning from the Ukrainians."
