Still a word about the total lame references to peace that seemed charged with unsaid words, I felt especially embarrassed by #Portugal's Mimicat and Iolanda. If the issue was so important to you and you have such a one sided view, then go all the way and boycott it.
But just like the "online boycotters" they really wanted to be a part of #Eurovision, they just wanted to exclude others from it but unwilling to the minimum personal sacrifice. Shallow morals, deep ignorance, lame, embarrassing.
Putting aside all the monstrous differences between both situations it all comes down to the fact that several countries, including the big5, said they wouldn't participate at #Eurovision if Russia did. No country (not even Muslim #Albania and #Azerbaijan) did the same about Israel. And in the end all Western Europe and Australia gave 12 televote points to Israel.
#Georgia feels like an effort to weaken their ties to #Russia and increase them with the #EU, when what the people there probably want is independence from both. To play them off each other for economic advantages. The same deal most of #Ukraine wanted before 2014.
The law they're protesting in #Tbilisi AFAIK is just like the FARA law we have in the US (and Russia). The goal being to know which nations are trying to secretly manipulate your government (like #uspol did).
"A part of the students of #Tbilisi State University announced the boycott of the academic process and said that they will refuse to enter the lecture halls from Monday, May 13. The students of TSU call upon their lecturers and students of other universities to go on strike and stop the academic process
The Russian Defense Ministry said it had taken control of five villages in the Kharkiv region: Borisovka, Ogurtsovo, Pletenevka, Pylnaya and Sterelchya.
Previously, the Ukrainian Armed Forces confirmed that Russian troops continued to shell the region with artillery, but did not comment on the capture of these settlements. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia
🇷🇺 #Russia is recruiting far-Right extremists to carry out attacks in the UK and Nato countries, The Telegraph understands.
Intelligence sources have said that terrorists recruited by Russian GRU agents have been responsible for a series of attacks in Western Europe and the US in the last six months.
Can Russia win in Ukraine with nuclear weapons?

Russia is again threatening the West with nuclear retaliation, but how close are we actually to nuclear war?
Cmdr. Nielsen discusses what will happen if Russia uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
🇩🇰 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #AndersPuckNielsen is a military analyst and Navy Commander at the Royal Danish Defence College. He studies #Russia's military since long before the 2022 invasion
Estonian Startups and #NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade are reaching the goal to fundraise 3 Medical Evacuation trucks for the 4th Brigade of National Guard Rubizh (the unit to which #OperatorStarsky belonged).
A little donation to save lives that would be lost without medical evacuation.
The company that owns the bus that fell into the Moika River belongs to a friend of the Speaker of the Federation Council, Valentina Matvienko, and its driver is a native of Tajikistan.
The question is: who will be punished for the deaths of people?
"First I will pay for drones from my pension, then I will buy medicine"
81-year-old Tamara Lazarenko gained popularity on the Internet after her granddaughter published a video of how her grandmother supports the Ukrainian military and donates to the purchase of marine drones for the GUR.
Ukrainian Magura V5 naval drones caused $500 million worth of damage to the Russian Black Sea Fleet
Andriy Yusov, representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, stated this. Adding that GUR analyzes the consequences after each successful operation, just like the enemy trying to find countermeasures and tactics to protect their ships. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia
The US announced a new $400 million military aid package to Ukraine on Friday - Politico
According to the publication, the package includes:
🔹 Patriot missiles,
🔹 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles,
🔹 Bradley fighting vehicles,
🔹 MRAP multi-purpose armored vehicles,
🔹 Javelin anti-tank systems and other ammunition. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia#Putin#EU#NATO
The Russian army cannot carry out large-scale actions on several fronts at once, so it is now checking the stability of our lines before choosing the most suitable direction.
Putin’s army will not be able to attack in several directions at the same time.
Russia is trying to focus on capturing the Lugansk and Donetsk regions
The Kremlin knows that if Ukraine receives enough weapons within 2 months, the situation could turn against them. #AureFreePress#Ukraine️ #Russia
