Russian trolls and Kremlin propaganda are once again claiming that the Soviet occupation somehow brought economic growth to the Baltic states. Anyone who actually lived under Soviet rule knows how laughable that is. Still — here’s one chart that tells the whole story. This is…

🚨BREAKING : Thai ground forces have crossed into Cambodian territory. What triggered this sudden move… and what happens next?

Zelensky has submitted a draft law to Parliament that prohibits the Prosecutor General from issuing directives to anti-corruption agencies. The agencies have confirmed that the bill RESTORES full procedural powers and guarantees their institutional independence.

Russia is recruiting slightly more this year than last year, based on extrapolated regional data. This is mostly due to the effect of higher sign-on bonuses. Recruitment was particularly strong in late-2024 and early 2025. Since May this year, it is almost identical to 2024.

‼️ Russia first used a new UMPB-5 ammunition in Kharkiv — the radius of action of these bombs is ~100 km, — regional prosecutor's office.

As long as Russia remains an empire, no free nation on its borders can afford to lower its guard. This is precisely why the Western defense alliance, NATO, is so important. Only NATO can teach Russia where its borders truly lie.

Over the past three years, I have repeatedly heard our good allies honestly admit that the Baltic states were right about Russia. 'We should have listened to you earlier,' they say as a follow-up. But are we, the Baltic states, truly being listened to today?

Russia is attacking Ukrainian cities with one goal - terror. Russia is stalling for time. Russia wants to prolong the war. The U.S. Congress is going on recess until September 2. The European Parliament will reconvene on September 8. During all this time, Russia will continue…

What’s wrong with this world? Kharkiv. Several air-dropped bombs. On a residential neighborhood. In broad daylight. If it were New York or Paris — the world would burn with outrage. But since it’s just Ukraine? Silence. F*ck everyone who stays silent and pretends not to see.

What’s going on between Cambodia and Thailand? Over the past weeks and months, border tensions have flared up again soldier clashes, closed checkpoints, leaked calls. But to really get it, we need to dig into history first. Let’s break it all down. 👇 1/24 🧵

Unelected. Unapologetic. Uncompromising. Andriy Yermak is not Ukraine’s president. But he often acts like one. He handpicks govt officials—and dismisses them. The PM and military brass frequently defer to him. My @FTMag profile of Ukraine's Green Cardinal ft.com/content/4d6114…
