1/ Enslaved people are being sold to the Russian army for up to 100,000 rubles ($1,240) each, according to anti-slavery campaigners. The issue highlights Russia's hidden but chronic problem with modern slavery, which Putin's government has failed to tackle. ⬇️

Heute vor 40 Jahren. Richard von Weizsäcker, der vielleicht beste Bundespräsident, den Deutschland je hatte mit Worten, die damals für manche ungeheuerlich waren-

By "free speech," the Americans mean creating a media environment in your country dominated by American digital fascism preparatory to right-wing regime change. Vance essentially said as much in Munich. Give in now, forget about sovereignty later.

Die "Friedensbewegung" hat sich mit 'Springtime for Putin' leider aus der Interaktion mit anderen Erwachsenen leider verabschiedet. 🤷‍♂️

Bin gespannt, ob die Ostermarschiererinnen und -marschierer dieses Jahr den russischen Aggressor unmissverständlich dazu auffordern, den Krieg sofort zu beenden und die Ukraine zu verlassen. Oder ob sie erneut die angegriffene Ukraine auffordern, endlich zu kapitulieren, damit „Frieden“ einkehre.

I've spent today at Belgium's Royal Higher Institute for Defence, discussing 'Russia's New Generation Warfare'. Every day brings new evidence that Russia is indeed waging a non-kinetic (mostly) war against Europe, & Europe is unable/unwilling to respond effectively, encouraging further attacks.

Another doc that makes clear how much Trump's assault on democracy helps Putin. (This is declaration from Stephen Capus, head of Radio Free Europe.)

www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
9. As mentioned in my first declaration, layoffs due to RFE/RL's lack of funding from USAGM pose grave security risks for our journalists. Many of our journalists from Russia, Belarus, Iran, and elsewhere face threats of arrest if they return to their home countries because they no longer have work visas through RFFJRL to lawfully stay in their current country of residence. 10. One example is Kanstantsin Lashkevich, Director of RFE/RL's Belarus Service. Mr. Lashkevich joined RF E/RL's Belarus Service in 2017. Under his leadership, RFE/RL's Belarns Service saw record audience engagement. During the 2020 presidential election, which triggered months of protests, one in four Belarusian households followed RFE/RL's live reporting. Ultimately, there was an escalating crackdown by the government and 16 RFE/RL journalists were arrested, detained, and in some cases tortured. Three received lengthy prison sentences (the Trump Administration secured the release of one of these three RFE/RL journalists in February 2025). Following these arrests, in July 2021 , RFE/RL relocated Mr. Lashkevich to our journalistic headquarters in Prague, Czech Republic. After Mr. Lashkevich left Belarus, in December 2021 the Belamsian authorities labeled RFE/RL an "extremist organization." Under the laws of Belarus, involvement in such an organization is punishable by up to seven years' imprisomnent. 11. In December 2023, the Belamsian government launched a criminal case against Mr. Lashkevich. Mr. Lashkevich remains in the Czech Republic on a residence permit tied to his employment at RFE/RL. Should he lose his job with RFE/RL and have to return to Belarus, he would almost certainly be arrested immediately. 12. In a similar situation are eight of RFE/RL's Russian journalists who currently legally reside in Tbilisi or Riga as a result of their RFFJRL employment. Katerina Klepikovskaya, Elizaveta Maetnaya, Maxim Matveychenkov, Svetlana Prokopyeva, Mikhail Sokolov, Mumin Shakirov, Tatiena Voltskaya…

There are a few baffling elements in this story about classified intelligence reports confirming that water is, indeed, wet.

"Putin still intends Ukraine domination" - as opposed to what, did somebody somewhere think he had changed his mind?
