This is quite funny. Do listen to the 30 second recording with the author of the FSB's Moldova de-stabilzation plan.
RT @VSquare_Project: ❗🎥According to our sources in western intelligence, the main author of the document is department counsel Andrei Vavilov, a graduate of the FSB academy. One RISE Moldova journalist called Vavilov on the eve of releasing the investigation.

Many DID say the same about the Baltic States.

Looking at the trajectory of Russia and Balts since liberation, why would Ukraine agree to what Trump called a "sh*thole* country not only to its north and east but also its south?

Why these specious justifications of imperialism?
RT @BadBalticTakes: And the Oscar for worst excuse goes to Navalny associate Leonid Volkov for this rambling performance.

They would have said the same about the occupation of the Baltic …

RT @FormulaGe: "If you really think so, maybe Europe isn't the place for you. Certainly, it has no place for statements such as this. And will do absolutely fine without those who act this way toward Europe," @ilvestoomas responded to PM's statement that @europarl_en should mind its business.

What if you decide to hold the largest European war in 80 years -- I mean a "3-day special military operation" -- but forget to make enough ammunition.

Welcome to Bardakistan.
RT @wartranslated: "We have no rounds!"

Yury Mezinov, a "A Just Russia" party functionary from the Rostov region, claims the shortage of ammunition in the Russian army is felt along the whole frontline. He believes it is sabotage as he cannot find another explanation.

Alain Berset is a name we should all learn and make a synonym for descending to utter absurdity to defend the indefensible.

So why buy them? To use as Christmas tree ornaments?

I really hope this is a misquote. Otherwise it will stand as the dumbest statement of 2023 so far.

Standard Soviet architecture, tbh. Estonia and Latvia are full of these. It doesn't even have to be a church. Any sloping roof from an earlier era would do.
