The author argued that countries conquered by Moscow became impoverished, polluted and destroyed, citing Estonia as an example. They wrote that Estonia was wealthier than Finland in 1938 and compared its economy with Finland’s during the Soviet occupation from 1944 to 1991. The post’s final sentence was cut off after referring to “10.” https://t.co/X3jEsrC5Sz #Estonia #SovietOccupation #History #EE #FN #RU
The author noted that Steve Witkoff had called Vladimir Putin a humanitarian, praised him and thanked him. They said Witkoff had not specified whether he was thanking Putin over Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, Ukraine or all four. https://t.co/aH9PASxr3f #Putin #Humanitarian #Geopolitics #RU #GE #SY #UA
The author thanked Gen. Wesley Clark and said they agreed with his view that preserving nations’ right to be free from invasion was more important than simply stopping a war.
The author claimed that Ukraine had destroyed up to six Russian Su-34Ms the previous day. They described the Su-34 as Russia’s main platform for launching glide bombs and said six aircraft would represent about 6% of its operational fleet, calling it a good day. #Ukraine #Russia #Military #UA #RU
The author wrote that Skeleton Technologies was officially Estonia’s 11th unicorn, or its 12th if Starship Technologies was included. They said that 12 billion-dollar startups in a population of 1.3 million made Estonia an outlier, with only Israel and Singapore competing with it. #Estonia #Unicorns #Startups #EE #IL #SG
"I hope this thing is not too bad in terms of content, we'll see, right now there is too little known," said Eerik-Niiles Kross. "Where Germany is going is currently one of the key questions for the future of Europe," Kross stated. #Välisluure #Saksamaa #spionaaž (translated)
If, however, Russia wants to supply these amounts in, for example, two months, then exports would have to increase by about three times compared to the current level. This undermines the credibility of the sanctions, puts pressure on Ukraine, and deepens the disagreements between Europe and the USA, writes Eerik-Niiles Kross. #USA #Venemaa #diisel (translated)
The author compared the Trump–Putin diesel deal with Russia’s sales of the Sputnik vaccine during the COVID pandemic, saying the deal was worse. They claimed Russia was selling something it could not deliver and that, even if delivered, it would not solve the problem. The author also said the United States was betraying its principles. https://t.co/6XgtKTkBGM #Trump #Putin #Vaccines #US #RU
The author wrote that Estonia’s parliament had set Ukraine’s victory and Russia’s strategic defeat as explicit objectives. They said its statement called for air defence to be the first military priority, predictable long-term support, stronger sanctions and Ukraine’s NATO membership, as well as completion of a further item linked in the post. https://t.co/xUpxbjlAt0 #UkrainianVictory #SupportUkraine #NATOMembership #EE #UA #RU
Estonia attributes another state sponsored terrorism case to Russia. We always do it quick and clear. #Estonia #Russia #Terrorism #EE #RU
A reality check on the current “war with Russia is about to start” frenzy. Russia is aggressive. It is waging a major war in Ukraine, conducting sabotage and other terror operations in Europe and yes, is testing NATO's red lines Russia probably wants us to believe so - but https://t.co/0DMEKmBYPB #Russia #Ukraine #NATO #RU #UA #EU #NATO
Beyond pathetic. The @nytimes is legitimising Russia’s language of aggression, again. There is no "Donbas region" nor the "rest of it". There are Ukrainian Donetsk and Lugansk oblasts. Not to mention that the "talks" should be about Russian withdrawal from Ukrainian sovereign https://t.co/H62IDgrSEp #Ukraine #Russia #Sovereignty #UA #RU
This is pure gold. What to make of Russia pretending to protect conservative values—and how to counter its aggression. The brilliant Avi Sahar at the European Parliament on why words like “hybrid,” “resilience,” and “below threshold” just hide our cowardice. https://t.co/FPcqsg2ZVp #Russia #ConservativeValues #HybridWarfare #RU #EU
Ukraine has amazing situational awareness and tracks orc drones exceptionally well. The train carrying the Europeans was only a few minutes ahead of the train hit this morning. We were alerted to the threat and rerouted in time. The Kyiv–Warsaw train that was struck was evacuated #Ukraine #SituationalAwareness #DroneTracking #UA #PL
Military honours for Ratko Mladić are state-sponsored glorification of genocide and repudiate justice. For Serbia, a Council of Europe member, this must have consequences. https://t.co/t49VkGRgK3 #Genocide #Justice #Serbia #RS
Don't be afraid. A few Russian missiles into schools and hospitals will create all the "political demand" for defence and resistance. Of course Europe can fight and win, and it will. https://t.co/FyV8X8sFCt #Defence #Resistance #EuropeFights #RU #EU
Did the Chinese just intentionally humiliate Russia or was Beijing simply rational. Either way, asking Kyiv for assurances that Vladivostok would not be struck during a high-level Chinese visit is pure gold. https://t.co/m0a4polSM9 #China #Russia #Vladivostok #CN #RU #UA
A former president of Iceland, a NATO member, who championed the No campaign in Iceland’s EU referendum has come out in praise of a Russian document criticising NATO. Nothing to see here. https://t.co/VHXCwIt2w9 #Iceland #NATO #EUrferendum #IS #NATO #RU
