russia’s security services detained vyacheslav solovyov, the former CEO of VEB-Leasing (a subsidiary of Vnesheconombank, one of the key instruments of the government's investment policy).

The operation was personally overseen by General alexander filatov β€” head of the SVR’s Internal Security Directorate β€” a highly unusual occurrence.

No to another Yalta.

In three days, Trump and putin meet in Alaska. Europe and
#Ukraine are not bargaining chips.

The world is not theirs to divide.

russia uses lawless 'terrorism' ruling to pass huge sentences against Ukrainian POWs for defending #Mariupol

russia was recently forced to reveal a Supreme Court ruling from 2 August 2022, banning the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Azov Regiment. The ruling only confirms the lack of any justification and total contempt for the law behind the ban

Time to activate the process to suspend Hungary's voting rights in Article 7 of the
#EU Treaty.

Which is designed to address situations where a member state is found to be in serious and persistent breach of the EU’s founding values, such as respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy
