Not sure if he has been following the news about even "tiny acts of civic resistance, just one tweet" over the last three years... btw yay we have a new company term - a parliament of owls, a murder of crows, an army of Russians.
I wish the army of Russians screaming at me about unfair visa practices in Europe would spend just a tenth of that energy on doing something, however small and symbolic, to help end Russias invasion of Ukraine. Just one tweet? Just one tiny act of civic resistance

Those who started the war did not expect to move freely. Those who are being sanctioned now did not start the war. Most of the higher elites have third-state passports, a lot of regime family members have European passports. This policy will help Kremlins propaganda and will fail
Starting a war and expecting to move freely in Europe is hard to justify. The EU is tightening visa rules for Russian nationals amid continued drone disruptions and sabotage on European soil. Travelling to the EU is a privilege, not a given.

Wenn der russische Botschafter internationale Verträge in Erinnerung rufen muss
President Trump’s decision to instruct the Pentagon to immediately resume testing of US nuclear weapons requires further clarification. The US President wants to test US nuclear arsenal on an “equal basis” with other nuclear powers. But the point is that other nuclear weapon

Oof. Polish border guards caught a 16-yr-old Russian who walked into Poland from Kaliningrad seeking political asylum. They returned the kid to Russia, where he now faces up to 2 yrs in prison for illegal border crossing. (If he's written any anti-war stuff, it might get worse.)

Hi, this is Dmitry Treschanin, editor with the Mediazona Data Department. Our team is dedicated to the painstaking work of counting Russia’s war dead. So when a staggering claim of 120,000 Russian soldiers killed or missing in just the first 8 months of 2025 appeared (🔗

Matthias Moosdorf, a German far-right lawmaker and professional cellist, regularly chats with one of Putin’s advisers — and sees nothing wrong with it. But his connections to Moscow have proved a step too far even for the AfD, @laurapitel reports:

A new @FT report takes a closer look at AfD’s ties to the Russian state — focusing on MP Moosdorf, listed as honorary professor at one of Russia’s top music academies and fined by his own parliamentary group for unsanctioned trips to Moscow. Glad to have been able to contribute

Putin: Russia is ready to abide by New START limits after 5 Feb 2026. For a year first, but ready to extend "if the US doesn't do something to undermine the balance of deterrence potentials." (Strictly speaking, the latter leaves room for some US increase above NST)

Russia’s constant violation of EU airspace is not a prelude to Russian attack of NATO but a way to coerce EU to force Kyiv to accept Russian “peace” terms.

Die russisch-chinesische Bromance an der Spitze der beiden Länder thront auf schwachen interelitären Verbindungen, institutionalisiertem Misstrauen der jeweiligen Sicherheitsapparate und teilweise nie überwundener Ablehnung der Bevölkerungen zu ihren Nachbarn. Belegte Sorgen
