Although The New York Times could not independently verify the authenticity of the Russian-language document dating back to August, Russian President Vladimir Putin has already publicly announced extensive winter strikes on Ukrainian energy, claiming that this is a response to Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries.

I refuse the idea that Romania has to choose endlessly between two evils: an old system represented by PSD, which tells us that without it the country cannot be governed, and the extremism of AUR, which invents enemies and promises a return to a glory that never existed. Romania deserves more. Our objective is clear: a government without PSD and without AUR. Now or in 2028. (translated)

More than 2000 words blame how the public @rtvslo does not fulfill its mission of balanced reporting and presenting different views. You cannot make a bigger anti-ad. And it is the least important which side I support - what worries and saddens me the most is that as a democratic republic we are losing the space for exchange and confrontation. Why do you think of the "others" as so stupid? When did the attitude towards the "others" change so much? Yes, I ask you, who prepare the program. I understand, you have your own agenda and your own views, but in a democratic community mutual respect is a fundamental value. Twenty years ago, I worked as a PR person in politics. Even then, we knew who belonged where and which uncle from the background had more influence. But I felt that those of us on the ground, who were in direct contact – journalists, editors, and PR people – respected each other on a professional level. When I participated in a debate last November about the referendum on euthanasia, the time was evenly divided between the "FOR" side and the "AGAINST" side. There were significantly more opponents at that time, so each of us got, if I remember correctly, 45 seconds. Most barely managed to present one thought. On the other side, the supporters had two minutes. There were also some pretty bizarre embarrassments, as some could not come up with enough arguments for a two-minute speech. Last night, I heard an introductory announcement at a debate about one of the four current referendums that each speaker would get 40 seconds. Seriously? So back then equal time for both sides, now equal time for each speaker. These are different criteria, which with a different number of participants also mean a different distribution of time between both sides. Why did you change the criterion? I am just an active citizen, I expect that the journalistic, media, and legal professions will provide their criticism and assessment. "Changing the rules to your advantage and adjusting the conditions to the detriment of opponents is one of the basic characteristics of authoritarian powers."

#FP1 at #Sepang: - #RedBull started very well, somewhat surprisingly given the layout of the track. Great balance both on the dry lap and in long runs, the latest upgrades seem to have brought benefits, let's see if they can keep up because they started strong. - #Mercedes has issues with Kimi, and still seems conservative with #Russell on the PU side. Russell has a lot of traction but little top speed, it's worth understanding if it's just power or if there's also drag due to increased downforce. Bad long run for Mercedes with very high wear. - #Ferrari seems out of the window, more loaded than the others, convincing only in braking and in slow corners. Better in the long run, the mechanics seem to be there, the aerodynamics for now really need fixing. - #McLaren insubstantial in the dry lap but remarkably excellent on tire degradation in long runs. - To say the track is evolving doesn't capture the essence, temperatures are sky-high, old asphalt, abrasive, and very dirty. We'll see everyone improve by several seconds per lap, so this session is more about returning to a beautiful track and understanding starting points than deducing anything about final results that are still very far off. Let's see FP2. (translated)

Álvarez, Veiga, and Zendejas can give us a lot. Cerrillo continues to look better than Cervantes. It's concerning that we get caught off guard so many times, and it is a constant issue. Cárdenas didn't have the balls and is not very associative. Kevin is the same as always, Rossano seems decent. (translated)

"Dear Director, in connection with the matter being discussed, I request that you start from the documents listed below, which I kindly ask you to complete and adjust as necessary, and subsequently take these steps." And right at the beginning, the official's superior Zikmundová writes: "Dear Director, in connection with the matter being discussed, I request that you start from the documents listed below, which I kindly ask you to complete and adjust as necessary, and subsequently take these steps."

In just a few hours, we will experience something that for so many years seemed so distant. I can only wish that all those who, in one way or another, are in the city to enjoy BTS live it intensely and savor every second. It has been years chasing this moment. Years in which many times it seemed that everything would remain in euphoria, in madness, in trying over and over again without knowing if it would really happen one day. And now we are here. Just hours away from a BTS concert in Bogotá. After so many years, this is finally happening. And one looks back and thinks it was worth trying. That it was worth believing. Of course, many things could have been done better. Some could have turned out differently, and others, definitely, did not turn out as we expected. But there is also the certainty that it is always worth continuing to try. Today Bogotá is purple. There are people who traveled from different places to be here and live this experience. And for those who this time will not be inside the stadium, may this not be a reason to stop believing that one day their turn will also come. I hope this is not the last time BTS comes to Colombia. I hope many more people can live what it means to see them live, hear their songs, and witness their show. After so many years believing this could happen, we want to continue doing it: with faith, with hope, and with the hope that this is just one of many times. Enjoy these concerts a lot. Live every song, every second, and everything that means having BTS finally in front of you. May these days be as special as you imagined for so many years, and when time passes, you can remember them with a smile and say: it was worth the wait. 💜 (translated)

Thoughts for the little white ones growing up in the middle of New France. I spoke informally with @milafique about it, and she agreed that I could share her testimony about what she experienced in Lyon: "It was Jasmine, it was Mehdi, it was Médine." The psycho-traumatic impact is enormous. We know. We do not forget you. We will fight for you who are stuck in hell. (translated)

"Long-lasting physical and mental suffering arising from multiple failed attempts at execution is repulsive and cruel." Most countries in the world have abolished the death penalty, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said that the Pike case shows that the USA should do the same.

Is the caviar socialist Nika Kovač @nikakolac from the Institute @8Marec with her fighting secured another flight worth several thousand euros in "bourgeois" business class? Notorious Nika was spotted again on a flight from New York to Europe at the end of last week. Interestingly, she did not travel in economy but in business class, which can only be afforded by wealthier people. Business class tickets are usually several times more expensive than economy class tickets, especially on intercontinental flights. (translated)

That the former leader of the Council for the Fight Against Hate Speech so lowly mocks the victims of post-war massacres is sensational news. With rare exceptions, the major media have kept silent about it. Because they judged that it would harm the left option. You can stick credibility somewhere. (translated)
