On day 424 of protests in Georgia, we mark the birthday of Mikha Khelashvili, a Georgian guerrilla fighter who continued armed resistance against Soviet rule after Georgia’s occupation. Many such fighters remain unknown; Khelashvili is remembered because of his poetry, banned under Soviet rule.

For the 424th day in a row, Georgians are out in the streets in 8+ cities, protesting Ivanishvili's illegitimate, pro-Russian, corrupt regime.

‼️🇮🇷🇺🇸 According to The Jerusalem Post, Iran's regime leader Ali Khamenei has moved to a fortified underground bunker in Tehran after senior security and military officials warned him of an increased risk of a possible U.S. strike.

As a historian with a focus on the history of news media and communication: the reported news itself was/is never ‚what happened‘. It is a construction, an interpretation, a mediated version of a perceived event. And therefore news reports were always about making realities.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Zelensky: Now we are trying to do everything so that our joint actions are enough for the real protection of Ukraine and, therefore, Europe. Poland's assistance to Ukraine after February 24 is unprecedented. Lithuania is with us. Baltic states. Northern Europe.

🇩🇪 German journalists uncovered a large-scale smuggling network that delivers sanctioned goods from the European Union directly to Moscow. Former employees of a Russian Post subsidiary created this illegal scheme to bypass trade restrictions. Read more 👀 theukrainianreview.info/journalists-...

Any violence against peaceful demonstrators is unacceptable. Shutting down the internet while violently suppressing protests exposes a regime afraid of its own people. (2/2)

Serhii Smoliak, 56, a senior paramedic, was killed in a russian double strike on Kyiv’s Darnytskyi district while aiding victims. His death, alongside wounded medics, highlights russia’s repeated attacks on rescue teams, violating international law.

The Iranian people are fighting for their future. By ignoring their rightful demands, the regime shows its true colours. Images from Tehran reveal a disproportionate and heavy-handed response by the security forces. (1/2)

A current and former police officer will stand trial for using pepper spray against two lawmakers – Magdalena Biejat and Barbara Nowacka – while they attended mass protests in 2020 against the introduction of a near-total ban on abortion in Poland.

Chancellor Merz: The outcome of the war will decisively determine the future of the entire European peace order. And already Russia is bombarding us with hybrid attacks every day, with drone overflights, assassinations, sabotage, espionage, cyberattacks, and targeted disinformation campaigns.

Antisemitism is a national security threat www.thejc.com/opinion/anal...

Middle-Eastern specialists helping Belarus (effectively Putin) dig tunnels into Poland... So surprising!!!

Orthodox Jews were violently assaulted in the NYC subway, as their attackers hurled antisemitic insults and threatened to kill them. Is the world waiting for a Chanukah massacre in NYC before it understands how catastrophic the situation has become?

RIP John Carey. He was my supervisor when I arrived at Oxford as a Soros Visiting Scholar in October 1991. It's thanks to his generous support and encouragement that I applied to do a DPhil and came to believe I could flourish as an academic in the UK; the rest is history.

Over a million dollars has been wagered on whether Russia will capture Pokrovsk on Polymarket. There are also bets on Vovchansk. While Ukrainians are defending their country and dying, some people are trying to profit from it. I have no words. Their "high moral" principles are off the charts.

It sure looks like Russian intelligence attempted to use military drones to assassinate the President of Ukraine inside an EU country. Looking forward to more thoughts from Belgium on why freezing Russian assets is an escalatory move that might compromise the peace process.

Polska stoi przed kluczową decyzją dotyczącą przyszłości ciepłownictwa. Jednym z poważnie rozważanych kierunków jest masowe wykorzystanie biomasy drzewnej, głównie pelletu, co oznaczałoby konieczność importu milionów ton surowca – przede wszystkim z USA i Kanady. dzikiezycie.pl/aktualnosci/...

Orbán's veto threats are forcing the EU to operate with legal formulas whose outcome is uncertain, as revealed in the FT. But there are limits to legal wrangling. It is becoming increasingly clear that a systemic solution is needed to counter the threats from Orbán & his ilk. Will the EU get there?

🤨 Russia's Ministry of Justice has officially labeled the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) as an “undesirable organization.”
