It sure looks like Russian intelligence attempted to use military drones to assassinate the President of Ukraine inside an EU country.
Looking forward to more thoughts from Belgium on why freezing Russian assets is an escalatory move that might compromise the peace process.

Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin

Ukrainian children abducted by Russia are being sent to military camps in North Korea. Legal expert Rashevska told U.S. Senate that a 12-year-old from Donetsk and a 16-year-old from Simferopol were taken to Songdowon camp, 9,000 km from home, exposed to militarized training and propaganda.

The situation at the border with Belarus is worsening, with the growing incursions of smuggling balloons into Lithuania’s airspace.
Such hybrid attack by the Lukashenka regime is completely unacceptable.

Putin has signed Russia’s 2026 budget, allocating at least $166 billion to the war against Ukraine, one-third of all spending and the highest military outlay since the Soviet era. To fund it, Russia slashed social programs.

The UK: now poorer and angrier. And still, somehow, with Farage leading in the polls.
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
