The author said Europe was still debating how to describe incidents involving Russian drones and saboteurs targeting airports, railways and infrastructure. They argued that Moscow expected Europe’s response to amount to words rather than financial costs, and urged governments to attribute attacks quickly and jointly and to target the shadow fleet and its funding. #Europe #Russia #Drones #EU #RU

The author described Putin's perception of the course of events as one where soon people would be afraid to talk about lasting peace. According to him, Russia's peace might be seen as a solution when other options, except for what he described as the most dangerous alternative, would begin to scare people. #Putin #rauha #Venäjä #FI #RU (translated)

The author stated that the path to war had previously been opened by a peace treaty and claimed that Russia was now systematically pursuing the same. He compared the situation to the Munich Agreement of 1938 and wrote that Czechoslovakia then ceded the Sudetenland and its border fortifications. According to him, the country was occupied half a year later without a single shot being fired. The section regarding Donbas and the year 2026 was left unfinished, as the author began by stating that Russia was demanding something. #rauha #historia #Venäjä #FI #RU #CZ (translated)

The author compared Russia's current actions to the Munich Agreement of 1938 and wrote that the path to war was then opened by a peace treaty. According to him, Czechoslovakia surrendered the Sudetenland and its border fortifications, after which the country was occupied half a year later without a shot being fired. He also referred to Donbas in 2026 and wrote that Russia was demanding from Ukraine, but the message was cut off mid-sentence. #rauha #historia #Ukraina #FI #RU #CZ #UA (translated)

The author wrote that peace was being negotiated in Moscow and compared the situation to the paper brought by Chamberlain from Munich in 1938, in which he promised peace. According to him, Czechoslovakia was carved up on the attacker's terms, and a year later Europe was at war. He proposed a strong position, redirecting frozen assets to Ukraine, and the Tauruses as prerequisites for sustainable peace. https://t.co/ahEW26DyVb #rauha #Ukraina #historia #FI #RU #CZ #UA (translated)

The author described it as Putin's original threat demand from 2021 and the new security arrangement associated with it. He characterized the later Alaskan understanding as a sphere of influence arrangement and believed that Europe should neither sign it nor even make it a subject of negotiation. #Putin #turvallisuus #Eurooppa #FI #RU #US #EU (translated)

According to the author, the possible dismantling of STT would not only be a problem for the media economy, but would weaken Finland's information security. He assesses that the common factual basis is eroding, and the space for algorithms, polarization, and hostile influence is growing. He also wrote that STT was not a luxury but a part of something cognitive. #tiedonhuoltovarmuus #mediatalous #faktapohja #FI (translated)

The author reminded decision-makers that many countries and entities had, according to him, the ability to decrypt and infiltrate phones to see everything done on them. He claimed that Russia and China operated in this way actively and systematically, and that the United States was capable of it too. #tietoturva #yleisläinen #valtio #FI #RU #CN #US #EU (translated)

The author estimates that Finland should move quickly in the same direction and increase its reach. According to him, without a deterrent, fear would start to overshadow life. He added that a peace agreement should not be accepted if it included restrictions regarding neighboring countries of Russia. #Suomi #rauha #turvallisuus #FI #RU (translated)

The author described Russia's shadow banking system as a means to circumvent sanctions. According to him, the system was partially in place even before the war, and he assessed that it would remain in use even after the war ended. #Venäjä #sanktiot #pankkijärjestelmä #FI #RU (translated)

The author considered the phenomenon quite predictable and said the same would happen in the European elections. According to him, Russia experimented with smearing politicians' reputations on social media, and its AI-based bots actively spread negative content about the targeted politicians. #EuroopanVaaleet #Venäjä #SomeNegatiivisuus #FI #RU #EU (translated)

The author argued that Europe needed a mandate and leverage rather than a negotiator favoured by Putin. They called the idea of Europe choosing the Kremlin’s negotiator absurd and said that approaching the issue on his terms had already left Europe trapped. #Europe #Putin #Politics #EU

According to the author, Russia had been acting similarly for years, including in Finland. He estimated that Russia's current intimidation campaign in Europe was related to the same. #Venäjä #Eurooppa #pelottelu #FI #RU #EU (translated)

According to the author, the impact of a settlement regarding Ukraine would extend to the entire western border of Russia and would not be confined to Ukraine. He wrote that for Russia, the agreement would primarily represent a precedent that would help it address future border challenges. https://t.co/A0aIuJkNAh #Ukraina #Venäjä #kansainvälisyys #UA #RU (translated)

The author asked when 1,034 drone overflights of critical infrastructure, 163 suspected sabotage cases and dozens of espionage probes should be treated as a highly likely Russian hostile campaign, rather than requiring each case to be proved beyond reasonable doubt. The post also began a reference to CORRECTIV but did not elaborate. #UAV #Espionage #Russia #RU

The author assesses that the main outcome of the Oslo meeting has not yet been realized: easing the situation in Ukraine regarding aid, intelligence, and air defense. He wrote that tomorrow's meeting in St. Petersburg would indicate whether Russia viewed the process as beneficial or harmful to itself, and he estimated that Russia would likely prolong discussions. #Ukraina #OslonKokous #Venäjä #UA #RU #NOR (translated)

According to the author, the structures explained why the terrain was dry, but did not explain who started the fire. He wrote that the riots in France had detached from their original framework and that, according to the authorities, far-left groups were organizing violence that opportunists followed.
