After the devastating rocket attack on the Shajareh-Tayyebeh school in Minab, in which 168 people, including many children, were killed in February, the place remains not only a memorial for the victims but also a symbol of the political propaganda of the Iranian regime. #Iran #Minab #Kriegsverbrechen (translated)

Flavia Zaka, the wife of the Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg, Cem Özdemir, has been working since August 2026 as a political advisor for the think tank "European Stability Initiative" in Vienna and Berlin, where she focuses on the establishment of a special court to investigate war crimes in Ukraine. #FlaviaZaka #CemÖzdemir #Politik (translated)

Regina Laska accused Alice Weidel of representing Russian interests under the motto "Germany first." She wrote that the interview was more in line with Putin's positions than patriotic concerns. Laska criticized that Weidel, when asked about Putin's willingness for peace, instead questioned Zelensky's readiness for peace. According to Laska, this amounted to a demand for Ukraine to give up its defense. As an example, Laska mentioned that Ukraine had not attacked Russian refineries for three days at Trump's request, while Russia continued to bomb. There were no Patriot missiles during that time, only throttled Starlink. Laska wrote that Zelensky has been willing to hold fire for months. She claimed that the Kremlin ignores this and continues to bomb until Ukraine has capitulated. In conclusion, she asked what Germany would gain if Putin succeeded, and whether Germany could also be affected. #Politik #Russland #Deutschland (translated)

Ulrich Vosgerau wrote that the federal government supports Ukraine with everything it has. Chancellor Friedrich Merz promised additional funds during a visit on Germany's National Day, while infrastructure in Germany is deteriorating. Vosgerau accused Merz of complete political cluelessness. At the same time, Vosgerau praised the investigations of the Federal Criminal Police Office: According to individuals with police and intelligence knowledge he referenced, the BKA had identified the perpetrators and arrested the alleged main perpetrator in Italy. This person seemingly traveled on vacation without worry, as no one in Ukraine anticipated an identification had already been made by German investigators. The Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Hamburg is now conducting proceedings against the alleged main perpetrator, who is charged, among other things, with a war crime under the International Criminal Code: an attack on civilian infrastructure, Vosgerau wrote. Neither the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office nor the court appeared to be influenced by the political positions of the federal government and Merz or the political interests of Ukraine. This led him to the thought that state action in Germany might indeed be functioning after all. https://t.co/ML0rDgtCUk #Deutschland #Ukraine #Bundesregierung (translated)

The trial against the Ukrainian defendant Serhii K. for the alleged explosion of the Nord Stream pipelines has begun at the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Hamburg, where he remained silent on the first day and called for a defense, while around 150 journalists and supporters were present. #NordStreamProzess #Ukraine #Kriegsverbrechen (translated)

In the Nord Stream trial, the Ukrainian defendant Serhij K. is accused of having planned and executed the destruction of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines together with other military personnel, while his defense argues that the charges are being interpreted in favor of Russia and that there is no clear evidence for the accusations. #NordStream #Kriegsverbrechen #Russland (translated)

Florian Warweg wrote that he did not want to share a certain form of whataboutism. At the same time, he asked how Friedrich Merz evaluates his own meetings with Benjamin Netanyahu after the Chancellor, through the government spokesperson, described the visit of former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder to Vladimir Putin as "immoral." According to Warweg, Netanyahu is wanted by international arrest warrant for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity. Merz based his moral judgment of Schröder's meeting on the "immeasurable suffering of civilian victims" in the war, Warweg wrote. This argument could also be applied to Merz's encounters with Netanyahu: At the meeting in December 2025, the number of identified dead children in the Gaza Strip was already at 20,179, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), along with 10,427 dead women. Warweg also referred to a meeting between Merz and Netanyahu on February 12, 2024, in Jerusalem, when Merz was still the opposition leader. The night before, the Israeli Air Force had targeted a refugee camp in Rafah; more than 100 people, including numerous children, lost their lives in the attack. #Whataboutism #Kriegsverbrechen #Moralität (translated)

In the trial against Serhij K., who is accused of war crimes and is said to have led the Nord Stream sabotage group, he is celebrated as a hero in Ukraine, while he sits isolated in a prison in Hamburg, facing a long prison sentence. #NordStream #Kriegsverbrechen #UkrainischeJustiz (translated)

Regina Laska referred to the first full day of the "energy truce" announced by Donald Trump as a unilateral protection for Russian oil refineries. She wrote that Ukraine does not benefit from it, as only one refinery there is functioning at all. According to Laska, Russian rocket launchers shelled the village of Tscherkaske in the Donetsk region in the morning with cluster munitions. One projectile hit a residential building and killed a 13-year-old girl, her mother, and grandmother. In the evening, a Russian drone struck a 25-story residential building in Kyiv, resulting in the deaths of a 59-year-old woman and another person in a car outside the building. Seven people, including a 17-year-old girl, were injured; twelve cars were burned in the courtyard. Later that night, ballistic missiles hit Kyiv before the sirens had been activated. The Ukrainian Air Force stated, according to Laska, that they had not received any information about the launches. In Kharkiv, around ten missiles hit the area, injuring at least eleven people, including a rescue worker. Laska pointed to reports that a White House official told Axios that the truce concerns oil refineries; discussions about power plants could take place later. A Ukrainian government representative reported that Trump's negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, had threatened to end U.S. intelligence sharing during a meeting in Miami on Friday. Two other individuals told the Kyiv Independent that Washington would hold Kyiv responsible for attacks on Russian energy facilities during the truce and would then stop the exchange of intelligence information and arms purchases through PURL. A U.S. official denied this, stating that the Ukrainians had only been told that the U.S. is an important supplier of ammunition and intelligence information and that Ukraine should not do anything that would harm American consumers. After the nighttime rocket attacks, there were suspicions online that the U.S. had withheld early warning data; according to Laska, there is no evidence of this. The advisor to the Ukrainian president, Serhij Beskrestnow, stated that partner services had also not detected earlier launches of S-400 missiles. Laska wrote that Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated he had nothing to share regarding the truce, but also said that Russia did not want a ceasefire. Trump responded to reporters' objections that Russia and Ukraine had denied a ceasefire by saying both sides had agreed because he had said so. According to Laska, Kyiv learned of its own agreement on the internet on Sunday. She characterized the arrangement as a unilateral protection of Russian refineries and accused the Russian regime of committing war crimes daily in the fifth year of the war. #Ukraine #Russland #Trump (translated)

A secret Russian document reveals that Russia plans to terrorize Ukraine through targeted attacks on its energy infrastructure with drones and rockets, in order to isolate the civilian population without electricity and heat during the winter months. #Putin #Ukraine #Kriegsverbrechen (translated)

The author wrote that today's government press conference dealt with questions about Trump, diesel reserves, and Russia, which he described as naive. Other topics included Bärbel Bas's resignation and Merz's displeasure with her, a Houthi attack on the airport in Riyadh, and possible war crimes, as well as, in his view, false statements by Reich regarding heat pumps and gas storage. https://t.co/TjtomL6qrg https://t.co/PS2n9PnsV2 #Politik #Deutschland #Nachrichten #DE #US #RU #YE #SA (translated)

U.M. OSINT wrote that he had read an article that had been repeatedly circulated as alleged evidence of Israeli war crimes and was behind a paywall. He positively noted that attacks on the IDF were occasionally mentioned in it. As the only action that he assessed clearly constitutes a war crime, he mentioned the use of prisoners of war to scout tunnels. It is unclear whether local commanders or a higher authority ordered this; the timeframe is also not provided. Furthermore, U.M. OSINT stated that there was nothing in the article that does not occur in most other wars. The other statements are moral classifications and irrelevant to him. Additionally, it is solely Israeli soldiers speaking, which makes it once again one-sided testimonies. #Kriegsverbrechen #Nahostkonflikt #IDF (translated)
