Boris Dralyuk: I see a healthy debate about the legacy of Stepan Bandera, a Ukrainian nationalist whose group was responsible for atrocities against Poles, Jews, and other Ukrainians during WWII. Briefly allied with the Germans, he spent much of the war in a camp. I want to share a poem. 1/5

This piece, by the Russia expert powerduo @AndreiSoldatov and @irinaborogan is indispensable for understanding the Russian army in Ukraine -- why it fails but also why it keeps on doing what it does. Do read it.

Joerg Lau: So Germany wants #Ukraine in #EU, but not in #NATO in foreseeable future. So, let‘s see how that works out. In our own case it was the other way around, NATO (1955) precondition for EEC (1957).

With Foreign Ministers like Kneissl and Spindlegger (of Golovatov scandal fame), no wonder Vienna is the Russian as well as Chinese, Iranian, et al. capital of spying on Europe.
Add to that Raiffeisenbank giving personal loans to Russian war criminals.

In lead-up to the EU-Latin America summit, not only did the Latin American countries want to remove all references to the war in Ukraine, they also demanded reparations over colonial occupation.
Most of the EU was never a colonial country. Ukraine, OTOH is in Europe.

Re So I would suggest a compromise and allow Latin America its lack of concern for its primary beneficiary: Let's eliminate all references to aid to Latin America.
Go ask Russia.
