Russia’s occupation is starving Ukrainians in Oleshky. In the Russian-occupied Kherson region, food deliveries to Oleshky have been cut off since the end of May. Around 6,000 civilians remain in the wider Oleshky community, including about 180 children. DW reports that local https://t.co/SFsLKSGJYN #Oleshky #Russia #Ukraine #UA #RU

During his speech at the UN, Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin stated that the international community had let Palestine down and urged for a peace solution between a Palestinian state and a state of Israel while denouncing the occupation of Palestinian lands. (translated)

The best-selling perfume in the world bears the name of a woman who spent the war in the arms of the occupier. Coco Chanel, the untouchable icon of French elegance, did not settle for a carnal proximity with the Third Reich: she became a spy for Adolf Hitler. Far from the legend of the visionary seamstress, the declassified archives of the Defense reveal Agent F-7124 of the Abwehr, codename: "Westminster." While Parisian women endured deprivation and German occupation, Gabrielle Chanel was toasting champagne at the Ritz, which had become the headquarters of the Third Reich, in the arms of Baron von Dincklage, a formidable officer of the German military intelligence. But the designer was not just a lover of collaboration: she was a financial predator who used the racial laws imposed by Hitler to enrich herself. In May 1941, she wrote to the Vichy regime to attempt to steal Parfums Chanel from her associates, the Wertheimer brothers, who had to flee persecution. Her request is one of absolute coldness. She explicitly demands the expropriation of her partners: “Chanel perfumes are still owned by Jews (...) I ask you to grant me the entirety of the shares,” arguing her priority right as an Aryan. Her complicity goes far beyond financial treason. In 1943, the Nazis integrated her into the secret operation "Modellhut." The aim of this mission? To use Chanel's intimate friendship with Winston Churchill to attempt to negotiate a separate peace agreement between the Third Reich and Great Britain. At the Liberation, she was arrested by the Resistance. Yet, she would never be tried or convicted for her active collaboration. She was mysteriously released after a few hours and went to comfortably exile in Switzerland. The reason for this total impunity? The secret intervention of Winston Churchill himself, concerned with stifling a public trial that could have revealed the pro-Nazi sympathies of a part of the British high society. When later questioned about her relationship with the German officer, she swept history aside with this line of nauseating cynicism: “A man, at my age, one does not look at his passport!” The luxury industry today prefers to celebrate the free woman who emancipated bodies with the little black dress. Military records instead tell the story of a fanatical and opportunistic anti-Semite who sold her country to the Third Reich in an attempt to secure the monopoly of her perfume. (translated)

I appeal to the media writing today about the “elections in Russia.” These “elections” are a propaganda farce meant to legitimize Putin’s criminal, authoritarian regime and his mafia, and also to authorize the occupation of Ukraine. This has nothing in common with elections as https://t.co/ET00W5ixvV #RussiaElections #PutinRegime #Propaganda #RU #UA

The survey shows that trust in international institutions is growing worldwide, while leadership from the United States and China is viewed with increasing skepticism; many people consider them rather as threats, reflecting the decline of the U.S. global leadership role. (translated)

In Qusra, in the West Bank, Palestinian families have been trapped for over 40 days due to an occupation by Israeli settlers, while the army restricts their movements and makes supply very difficult. (translated)

Excellence, malgré la qualité de votre démonstration, je suis au regret de vous dire qu’il existe des pays, des entreprises et des collectivités, bien gérés, qui génèrent de la capacité d’autofinancement, qui dégagent des marges de manœuvre, qui obtiennent des résultats. Je comprends que cela bouscule votre fatalisme sentencieux et la morgue de votre conformisme. Ce qui est long, très long, trop long, c’est l’occupation du pouvoir par une aristocratie d’Etat à bout de souffle, qui échoue (et parfois vaniteuse). #Excellence #Gestion #Résultats

Avec tout ce qui s'est passé au cours des 48 dernières heures, je souhaite ramener la conversation à ce qui compte vraiment : le peuple palestinien qui continue d'être tué, qui vit toujours sous occupation militaire, et qui lutte encore pour sa liberté.

Disappointing and shameful move by @edsheeran to drop @macklemore from his tour because he spoke up for Palestine. With Ireland's history of oppression and suffering under colonialism, surely Ed should understand the need to stand with victims of genocide and occupation. #EdSheeran #Macklemore #Palestine #IE #PS

BREAKING🔥: Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) urges residents of temporarily occupied territories not to participate in Russia’s illegal “elections” planned for September 18–20. The SBU says Moscow is seeking to legitimize its occupation through sham voting. #Ukraine #UkraineWar

Bored & nauseated by Brit establishment continuing to pat itself on the back for acknowledging the occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful. STOP FUCKING ARMING 'ISRAEL' THEN!!!! #FreePalestine #StopArmingIsrael #EndOccupation #GB #PS #IL

1683: Ukrainian Cossacks fought in the coalition that helped save Vienna. When Austria was under threat, others came to our aid. 2026: Crimea is still under Russian occupation — and Austria still hides behind neutrality. That is not enough.
