#EU#Spain#Catalonia#Cybersecurity#Privacy#Encryption#Wire#Proton: "As part of an investigation into people involved in the pro-independence movement in Catalonia, the Spanish police obtained information from the encrypted services Wire and Proton, which helped the authorities identify a pseudonymous activist, according to court documents obtained by TechCrunch.
Earlier this year, the Spanish police Guardia Civil sent legal requests through Swiss police to Wire and Proton, which are both based in Switzerland. The Guardia Civil requested any identifying information related to accounts on the two companies’ respective platforms. Wire responded providing the email address used to register the Wire account, which was a Protonmail address. Proton responded providing the recovery email for that Protonmail account, which was an iCloud email address, according to the documents.
In the request, which listed “organised crime” and “terrorism” as the nature of the investigation, Spanish police wrote that it wanted to “find out who were the perpetrators of the facts taking place in the street riots in Catalonia in 2019.”"

"Sending foreign troops to Ukraine will show Putin that it is not up to him to decide how the West will help,"
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis
“Our troops trained Ukrainians in Ukraine before the war, and we have been doing this for many years. So a return to this tradition may be quite feasible.
