Bloody hell.
Threats of deportations for "illegal protests", talk of "agitators", bans on wearing masks.

Morning Bluesky.

Renowned Putin supporter Donald Trump has paused military aid to Ukraine.

But former Ukrainian Defence Minister Volodymyr Harvylov says Europe is “on the rise and can supply Ukraine with arms and most of the everyday needs”.
