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-
und heute von trauriger Aktualität.

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.
A cargo ship, linked to the russian ghost fleet, which has been investigated for suspicious activity in the Baltic was spotted by an Irish Air Corps aircraft dropping an anchor close to an undersea cable in Irish waters.

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?

Putin still intends Ukraine domination, U.S. intelligence reports say
U.S. assessments of Vladimir Putin say that Moscow is determined to hold sway over Kyiv, despite ongoing ceasefire talks.
