A lot of people defending free speech do it based on algorithms without any transparency, with a lot of bias, and political agenda. It's not free speech.

Trump is delaying a decision on the bill tightening anti-Russian sanctions, Semafor reports. The legislation, introduced by Blumenthal and Graham, would impose sanctions on Russia's energy sector. Blumenthal says Trump is the only obstacle to advancing the sanctions package.

Czech President Pavel said a short term deal to end the war in Ukraine is unlikely given Russia’s position. He said hopes for a quick agreement between Ukraine, EU countries, the US and Russia were naive and stressed negotiations work only when both sides are in relatively advantageous positions.
