#Belarus The heartbreaking and dark reality of what we face. Writer Ales Palynski died at the age of 58, and no one can bury him in Belarus. His wife and daughter are in jail. His son, my colleague, great journalist and musician, fled and now lives in exile. Painful.

It’s always intriguing to stumble upon familiar words in Vilnius news from the Russian imperial period — like Azov and Don (Cossacks) — alongside a glimpse of a successful economic institution of that time, the Азовсько-донський банк (Azov-Don Bank), opening a branch in the city. #Azov #Vilnius

When the NATO summit took place in Vilnius and optimists were full of hope about Ukraine being invited into the alliance, my friend organized a showing of this Maksym Palenko painting in the rather touristy Užupis district – hoping to tip the scales in Ukraine’s favor. Still praying for victory!

1/2 russia wants to scale down the war in Ukraine and call it peace. But just like after Crimea, the war wouldn’t stop - it would only look like it did. Moscow thrives in long, cold conflicts, profiting from arms, energy, and control of resources. That kind of peace is a victory for Russia.
