Sounds like a great list to read in 2025! pen.org/banned-books...

The UN has appointed Russian diplomat Gleb Desyatnikov as Assistant Secretary-General for Mine Action and Police in its Department of Peace Operations. The appointment places a Russian official in a senior UN role overseeing mine-action activities and police-related work within peace operations.

1/ Restoring Yandex's damaged data centres will take at least six months and cost billions. Disruption is already severe; Russian manufacturers and distributors face imminent disaster due to Ukraine's strikes causing the collapse of the state-operated goods tracking system. ⬇️

The Art of the Deal, folks. Donald is such an idiot.

Moscow says there’s been a small accident but the situation is all under control. That’s how Pravda first reported the Chernobyl disaster, 30 April 1986, buried at the bottom of an inside page. In case anyone needs a reminder.

❗️Zelensky: The more freedom Putin has to act, the more dangerous the world becomes for everyone else. That’s why patient zero must be stopped. He must be denied the space to act and the space to spread this evil.

Today, the temporarily occupied town of Oleshky marks 942 years. Cut off from aid, ~1,700 residents endure drone attacks, mined roads, extreme food and medicine shortages, and unburied dead. 🧵 1/8

Who knew the Canadians could play the same game?

So much more than a Country Music Superstar. Philanthropist, humanitarian, defender of diversity & fierce advocate for the working class, she helped fund the Moderna Covid vaccine & donated 332+ million books to children. Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.♥️ #RIP

Russia has stepped up large-scale hybrid&disinformation campaigns in Germany ahead of state elections.The operation,known as "Matryoshka," after the Russian nesting doll,or "Operation Overload,"aims to discredit democratic politicians, undermine trust in elections, and strengthen pro-Russian forces⤵️

Russians have destroyed the 300 year old Holy Nativity Church in Beryslav – the only surviving example in Ukraine of 18th-century wooden Cossack religious architecture.

Google Earth's new AI feature lets anyone fabricate inaccurate satellite imagery, from making it look like a place has been drone striked to manifesting a nuclear plant in Iran. What could go wrong? @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Story @josephcox.bsky.social: www.404media.co/google-earth...

Canada strongly opposes the International Olympic Committee decision to admit russian athletes to competition with their flags and symbols. This is a step that normalizes and condones russia’s genocidal war on Ukraine. Ukrainian athletes murdered by russians cannot speak out – so we must do so.

The International Olympic Commitee is rewarding the russian terrorist state for its increasingly deadly attacks on Ukrainian civilians. Murdered Ukrainian athletes will never compete again but russians are free to compete with their flags and symbols.

‼️🇺🇦🇵🇱 Russia is preparing an information provocation to split relations between Ukraine and Poland, - TsPD On July 5, the FSB plans to publish falsified documents regarding the events of World War II, in particular the Volyn tragedy, in order to undermine Ukrainian-Polish relations.

This is Ukraine’s foreign minister: ‘We expect strong reactions by international institutions and capitals. No vague words, silence, or weak steps. We need action now to stop Russian barbarism’

No words. The barbarians keep their nonsensical war against civilians and cultural heritage

Russia has attacked a UNESCO heritate church Metropolitan Epiphanius of Kyiv&All Ukraine:One more Russian crime against humanity,against history, against Christianity -the roof of one of the holiest places in the Christian world is burning - the Assumption Cathedral of the Pechersk Lavra in #Kyiv."

🔴 BREAKING: Russia launched a massive overnight aerial attack across Ukraine on June 2, hitting Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and other major cities with waves of drones and ballistic missiles.

There is always the first time… Is America moving to the next low even faster? #lawlessness

US Treasury extends sanctions waiver for Russian oil by 30 days. Of course they do. Nobody cares that Russia leveled a residential building onto sleeping families using that oil money just days ago. Unfuckingbelievable.

‘The Israeli finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, said at the beginning of March that the southern suburbs of Beirut “will become like Khan Younis”. What Israel did to Gaza it is now doing to Lebanon.’ @selmadabbagh.bsky.social on the blog. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ap...

The paradox is that those calling for these absolutely unacceptable concessions should know that if Ukraine were to cave, russia’s war would grow exponentially. Those who want peace end up advocating policies that fuel russia’s appetite for war. When will they learn?!

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

Should be part of his next test.

Cartoon by Gábor Pápai, a well-known Hungarian political cartoonist.

On election day in Budapest, GRU agents posing as Ukrainians reportedly plan to seize buildings in the city center. Former Berkut fighters — Euromaidan veterans who fled to Russia — would play the role. The goal: hand a losing Orbán a pretext to declare emergency rule and void the results.

Some things need to be said aloud. 👏👏

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

Morally, legally, economically the war on Iran is disastrous and the disaster goes on for years no matter what happens now. But what cannot be overstated is that in pure national security terms it is also an unmitigated catastrophe.

‼️ Russian intelligence agency plans fake attack on Orbán to influence election result – WP

Trump has been completely exposed as a Russian asset. To help Russia, Trump cut off military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, carried out fake peace talks for a year, threatened longstanding U.S. allies, started a war as a distraction, and eased sanctions on Russian oil.

Critical thinking in the Western institutions is largely absent. The Oscar jury is a prime example of this trend.

🇺🇸John Bolton on U.S. easing sanctions on Russia for lower oil prices: 🇷🇺I think they drank a lot of vodka in the Kremlin when they heard that news. This is an absolute gift to the Russians.

You can have the best armed forces in the history of the world, but if you are an incompetent criminal without a plan, you can still lose a war, and rather quickly.
