In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

kyivpost.comIs the Kremlin Preparing a Propaganda Spectacle in Oleshky?A possible ceasefire in occupied Oleshky risks becoming a Kremlin propaganda stage, masking blocked aid and once again recasting Russia as the rescuer before foreign audiences.

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041
