Ringo #Mühlmann, an #AfD politician, has repeatedly asked to disclose details on subjects such as local #drone #defenses and #arms transports to #Ukraine.

This information, his political opponents say, could be of great interest to #russian intelligence.

Старый дом давно ушёл под снос,
Съехали те люди, что в нём жили...
Лишь не сходят с места кот и пёс,
Всё не веря, что их тут забыли...

The old house was long ago demolished,
The people who lived there have moved out...
Only the cat and dog remain standing,
Still unable to believe they've been forgotten here...

Learning About #Propaganda and #Disinformation Is More Critical Than Ever! Did you know... On #Facebook, #Instagram and #Threads this year #Meta removed fact-checkers, dramatically reducing content moderation, and promising to recommend more political content https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/07/meta-facebook-instagram-threads-mark-zuckerberg-remove-fact-checkers-recommend-political-content

Meanwhile, manipulated media is a threat to everyone. For example, during #German elections in early 2025 #Russian influence operations used #AI to create over 100 fake websites that churned out #propaganda.

Overnight in the subway, thanks to Russian bombings

The metro can become a refuge when the city is facing explosions during the night. You can experience it, by staying in the metro with Zoriana.

All thermal power plants operated by Ukrainian energy giant Centrenergo are down following the ‘largest-ever’ #Russian attack.

Thermal plants burn fossil fuels to generate electricity. Nuclear and renewable plants have also suffered from Russia’s attacks on energy infrastructure.

NEWS OF THE DAY

LESS #RUSSIAN GAS IN #EUROPE: Polish President Karol Navrocki agreed to facilitate the sale of U.S. gas to #Slovakia to decrease its reliance on Russian resources. #Poland has diversified its gas supplies, so it can deliver American LNG across Europe.

Does anyone know this #Russian proverb?

I once read that Russian's had a proverb which goes something like "There is a law for everyone" — the meaning being, no matter what you do, authorities can find a section in the criminal code, which can be used to convict you.

The proverb is relevant to the script for my next video, but since I cannot remember the exact phrase, it has been difficult to find.

UPDATE
Thank you @cowman for finding the answer here:

Weeks after #JeffreyEpstein died in federal custody in 2019…, #JPMorganChase filed a report alerting the #US govt to tens of millions of suspicious transactions involving him & prominent #WallStreet & #business figures.

The report that #JPMorgan filed identified transactions with #LeonBlack, the co-founder of private equity firm #ApolloGlobalManagement; #GlennDubin, a hedge fund manager; [ #Trump’s atty] lawyer #AlanDershowitz; & trusts controlled by #LesWexner, the retail tycoon.

#JPMorgan said in its report that it was flagging about 4,700 transactions, totaling more than $1 billion, because they were potentially related to reports of human trafficking involving #Epstein. It also mentioned Epstein’s wire transfers to #Russian #banks & sensitivities around “his relationships with two U.S. presidents.” Epstein at times was close with President #Trump & President #BillClinton.

How people survive in #Kostiantynivka amid constant #Russian air attacks.

The #Russian army strikes the city with drones, artillery, and air bombs. The people who still remain there cook food over open fires, no longer react to drones, and hide from shelling in the basements of shattered buildings.

I often get asked why people won't leave cities under #Russian attacks. The truth is there is no simple answer to that - many (most) do leave. Those who remain often have no experience of living anywhere else and are not certain they will be able to build a new life in a new place. These are often elderly people who cannot work anymore, and it is much harder for them to adjust in a new place.
