Michał Rachoń announced private criminal charges and civil lawsuits against Wieliński and Zieliński, journalists from "Gazeta Wyborcza" and TVN24. He accused them of disseminating disinformation regarding Telewizja Republika, containing — as he wrote — false content glorifying Vladimir Putin. Rachoń informed that the lawsuits will also target the editorial offices, and the companies publishing both titles will be pursued for acts of unfair competition. He added that Telewizja Republika will seek damages in the form of contributions to the Fundacja Republika. He also tagged Tomasz Sakiewicz, Jarosław Olechowski, and Telewizja Republika in the post. #dezinformacja #WładimirPutin #media (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se wrote that Peter Hultqvist's interview was an attempt to limit the damage and give the Social Democrats a more "hawkish" profile. The writer thought that several proposals in the interview were good: a permanent amphibious battalion in Gotland, re-establishing I 22 in Kiruna, and above all, building a third submarine of the A26 class. The writer claimed that larger combat vessels needed to be built in series of at least three to ensure redundancy, with two operational and one for training or maintenance. As support, the writer referred to his own experience of two years of service as ELF and LFO at PTK Gbg, the test command for Göteborg-class corvettes. Ledarsidorna.se expressed uncertainty about Magdalena Andersson's foreign and security policy stance and wrote that neighboring countries were not impressed by her latest statement, which the writer believed opened the door for reduced engagement on NATO's northern flank. The writer also believed that Pål Jonson should remain as defense minister and called him the best in the position in modern times. Compared to Hultqvist, the writer thought that Jonson had better knowledge of weapons and weapon systems. #svpol https://t.co/ihG7cqkWH5 #säkerhetspolitik #försvar #svenskpolitk (translated)

In my understanding, the most important thing is that defense funding is used purposefully for necessary acquisitions. Because, as experience has shown, the ministry must respond very dynamically and actively to changes in this market, the arms market – both in acquisitions and the emergence of new technologies, not remaining a passive observer. Members of the National Security and Defense Committee of the Seimas and former Minister of National Defense Arvydas Anušauskas believe that the use of nearly 44% of the funding allocated to the Ministry of National Defense (KAM) this year does not, in itself, indicate any problems. #gynyba #finansavimas #Lietuva (translated)

Paweł Żuchowski wrote that U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuels in connection with the oil agreement between Washington and Moscow has faced criticism from Democrats and some Republicans. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer accused Trump of making a "deal with the devil" to save his declining political ratings. Republican Congressman Don Bacon expressed hope that Ukraine would continue to destroy Russian diesel production capabilities. He also called on Trump to use the Lindsey Graham Act, which aimed to strengthen sanctions on Russia. Bacon accused the president of providing the dictator with money instead of using sanctions to weaken the Russian war machine while it continues to attack and kill Ukrainian civilians. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski also urged the use of the Graham Act. She stated that discussions about Russia's return to global energy markets should only take place after the war ends, and until then, sources of its funding and supplies should be cut off. Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick announced that he would put a bipartisan bill blocking all purchases of Russian oil to a vote in the House of Representatives. He predicted that it would be passed by an overwhelming majority. Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence wrote on X on Saturday that lifting sanctions in the face of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilian targets was incomprehensible and constituted a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham. He added that the U.S. should not support the Russian war machine. Pence also stated that Vladimir Putin wants to take over Ukraine, and its conquest could lead to Russian forces crossing another border and clashing with American soldiers. He called on Trump to reverse the decision. #Trump #Rosja #Ukraina (translated)
