Ilmārs Poikāns wrote that Russian media and diplomatic circles have reported on Vladimir Putin's offer to hold a trilateral meeting with Donald Trump and Xi Jinping next week or in the coming weeks to discuss Ukraine. According to Poikāns, neither Volodymyr Zelensky nor European leaders would be invited to the negotiating table. Poikāns described this initiative as an attempt to return to the logic of the 1945 great power agreements and to challenge Ukraine's right to determine its own future. He emphasized that such a precedent would be dangerous for Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, as it could reinforce the belief that territorial borders can be changed through military force. Poikāns also warned that Russia could use the pause for the restoration of its army and military industrial base, but later make demands regarding buffer zones or the withdrawal of allied forces from the Baltic states. In his view, the proposal could be adapted to Trump's desire for a quick agreement, while Xi's involvement would attempt to make China a guarantor of Russia's gains. Poikāns pointed out that support for the division of Ukraine could significantly worsen China's relations with the European Union. He also suggested that the leak of this information before the U.S. midterm elections and Trump's expected visit to China could increase distrust among Kyiv, European capitals, and Washington. Poikāns stressed that talks about Ukraine without Ukraine would not be a peace process, but rather imposed capitulation. He urged Europe, especially the Baltic states, Poland, and the Nordic countries, to speed up the strengthening of military capabilities, as he believes that issues of European security should not be decided by great powers without European involvement. #Ukraina #Baltija #Starptautiskāsattiecības (translated)

Zelensky is indifferent to this, and honestly, considering all the money that Europe generously gives him, as is known, and what the corrupt Joe Biden once granted him, he does not want to end this war at all and most likely never wanted to. He could have achieved a better agreement two years ago than what can be achieved now. His country is in ruins, a large part of its territory has been lost, access to oceans and seas has disappeared, but the male population has shrunk — many are injured and/or have died," Trump expresses. #Tramps #Zelenskis #Ukraina (translated)

Héctor Suárez Gomís argued that, in his opinion, charging more to citizens would not solve Morena's inability to manage the country and would only finance that incompetence. In a message directed to Viri Ríos, he sarcastically suggested that results should not be demanded from public servants, whom he accused of collecting taxes, doing propaganda, buying votes, bringing people to rallies, defending corrupt officials, destroying the Republic, denying links with organized crime, and promoting the indoctrination of supporters of the Welfare program. He also used derogatory language to refer to the latter group. #México #Gobierno #Corrupción (translated)

Héctor Suárez Gomís questioned Viri Ríos for, according to him, confusing the payment of taxes with demanding that resources be reflected in public services, such as pothole-free streets. He argued that holding the government accountable for maintenance was not hypocrisy and listed taxes such as the ISR, VAT, IEPS, property tax, and vehicle tax. He also stated that the poor condition of the streets forced citizens to cover private medical expenses and repairs for their vehicles, and mentioned that changing all four tires every year could be a consequence of those conditions. Suárez Gomís pointed out that studying at Harvard did not guarantee an understanding that public money belonged to the citizens and that officials should be held accountable. He urged Ríos to demand answers from Adán Augusto and criticized him for refusing to make statements. Additionally, he accused those who reported potholes and opposed the property tax of being inconsistent and argued that citizens demanded punctuality from taxpayers while tolerating, according to him, government ineptitude. #Impuestos #Gobierno #ServiciosPúblicos (translated)

Roni Arvonen wrote that in his opinion, the current right-wing government has not fixed the YEL system, but has instead postponed the reform he describes as a temporary solution to the year 2028, when the next government could overturn it. #YEL #oikeistohallitus #Suomi (translated)

Following the incident at the Latvian border, where men dressed in Moscow attempted to illegally enter the country, responsibility was taken by the little-known group Černie rūsi, which analysts believe to be a covert structure of the special services that carries out hybrid operations. #Латвия #ЧерныеРусы #гибридныеоперации (translated)
