Port of Zeebrugge, BE imports twice the amount of Russian gas as in 2022. Via Zeebrugge komt meer Russisch gas binnen dan ooit: "Dubbel zoveel als in 2022" https://t.co/N7UwLI9h2X

Nooit werd er via de haven van Zeebrugge meer Russisch aardgas voor de Europese Unie ingevoerd dan dit jaar. Toch wil het Europees Parlement al eind volgend jaar naar een totaalverbod op de invoer...

A very helpful statement from the Estonian govt, hopefully putting to bed the more lurid claims doing the rounds
Reports suggesting that the situation on the Estonian-Russian border is becoming tense are exaggerated. There is a road in South-East Estonia that briefly crosses into Russian territory. Locals are permitted to use it without stopping. On Friday, we observed seven armed Russian

PR stunt written all over it: These images reportedly show armed Russian soldiers inside the Saatse Boot, that small, odd-shaped section of Russian territory where the Estonian road briefly cuts through their border. Any modern combat unit with even a basic understanding of how

New: The US has for months been helping Ukraine mount long-range strikes on Russian energy facilities, in what officials say is a co-ordinated effort to weaken Vladimir Putin’s economy and force him to the negotiating table. w/ @ak_mack @maxseddon

Dear @KubiliusA unfortunately we are at war, even if we don’t want to say it. The Russians are clearly at war with us. Hybrid war is still war. The deliberate conduct of gray zone operations that violate international law, sovereignty and put citizens, economies at risk is war.
We are not at war, but not at peace either. Provocations can continue for years to come. It’s Russia that attacked Ukraine and provokes EU Member States. Not the other way round. To protect peace we’re working on defence readiness: materially, institutionally, politically.

Putin is clearly escalating vis-a-vis Europe. This is likely in response to the complete failure to achieve any strategic objectives during this summer’s offensive. The war is shifting to a new phase.🧵
The only reason for them to be there is for them to be spotted there. This is part of Russian hybrid warfare escalations.

Keep cool, calm, and collected. We have the situation fully under control.
Estonia has urgently closed part of its border with Russia following the appearance of armed "little green men," ERR reports‼️ “We’ve observed large, heavily armed groups engaging in suspicious activity. These are clearly not border guards, and the situation poses a real

Russian intelligence services are currently waging a hybrid covert war on Europe, destabilising operations are ongoing all over Europe right now.

The more I study Russian intelligence strategies in Europe I must admit its genius. They are exploiting key divisions within our societies to create so much infighting that we are less focused on their own countries actions in Ukraine and Africa, because we are so divided.

1/ Recruitment to fight in Ukraine is drying up to the rate of "a teaspoon a day," despite very generous salaries and bonuses, according to a Russian government official. Thousands of Russian Telegram users have responded to explain why they don't want to join the army. ⬇️

Jane Goodall died today. While smarter and more informed people will talk about her work, I want to share a snippet from her Wikipedia page - the two greatest paragraphs ever on Wikipedia. The first parts are amusing and interesting, but the last sentence elevates it to high art.

@AJEnglish @porCausaorg 🏅 Our first winner is Deadly Prices (@investigate_eu, @ndr, @WDRaktuell, @SZ, @reporters_gr, @eestiekspress, & @rtppt) revealed why life-saving medicines remain unaffordable in Europe. By calculating drug prices, it showed how Big Pharma exploits opacity to keep costs high.
