Jestli je něco čemu jsme se doposud nenaučili čelit, tak je to ruská weaponizace organizovaného zločinu v zemích EU a s tím svázané oligarchické prostředí, které si rusko v Evropě hýčká.

Téma jsem nakousnul u Barbory Tachecí v Českém Rozhlase.

📅 The Week Ahead: Key Global Security & Ukraine Developments 🧵

🇺🇸 As Trump’s symbolic “first 100 days” ends on April 30, pressure on 🇺🇦 Ukraine intensifies. With 🇷🇺 Victory Day (May 9) looming, both sides seek a symbolic win — ceasefire “deal”, possibly detrimental to Ukraine.

Great article on the what risks AI-generated visuals, particularly geolocation and chronolocation manipulations, pose to journalism by undermining the reliability of visual content used in investigations and news reporting. Recommend.

Alexander Ovechkin is now the greatest goal scorer in NHL history. 🏆

Yes, that Ovechkin — the same guy who launched “PutinTeam” in 2017, never once denounced russian aggression, and still proudly flaunts pics of himself with Putin on Instagram. But sure, people love hockey. 🧊🥅

Možná jste zaregistrovali video, kde Lubomír Zaorálek u praporů padlých obránců v Kyivě na Majdaně, naznačuje, že se země již nechce bránit.

Co na jeho video říkají Ukrajinci?

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 The US will try to salvage an already crumbling energy and maritime ceasefire, which likely has technically not started yet (opinions differ). Russian disinterest in a ceasefire remains the main roadblock. #BlackSea #UkraineWar

🇺🇦 Ukraine must be part of the ReArm Europe plan.
