On this day 17 September 1939 the #USSR joined #Nazi Third Reich in its attack on #Poland, marking the start of World War 2.[^1]

Many isolated locations in Poland continued defense well until end of September, like Warsaw,[^2] but on 22 September the Nazis and Soviets met in Brest (today’s #Belarus) and concluded the occupation with a friendly handshake.

The Third Reich and Soviet Union remained close allies for the next two years, with the Soviets providing critical logistics back end to the Nazi Germany, supplying it with millions of tons of fuel, steel and other resources[^3] in bypass of international economic sanctions, while Germany continued the conquer of #France and the rest of Europe.

In June 1941 Germany wholeheartedly paid back its ally by sending all the bombs manufactured with Soviet steel back on the Soviet towns during “Operation Barbarossa”, but that’s another story 😏

A story of a #trans #activist's escape from #Crimea

#LiliyaKhvylka was under house arrest with an ankle bracelet. From Crimea she navigated her way through #Russia and #Belarus

The entire #LGBT community is an "extremist organization" in Russia and in the occupied areas you can be disappeared

She participated in the 2014 #Ukraine#Euromaidan protests

She is being tried in abstentia and faces 15 years in Russian prison

#Russia Foreign Ministry demanded #Poland reopen its border with #Belarus after Warsaw announced a full closure starting 12 September during Russia-Belarus Zapad-2025 drills.

Maria Zakharova accused Poland of “escalation” (!), claimed the move would hurt international business and will have “humanitarian impact”. She said that a day after Russian drones attacked Poland, and a day before Russia starts military exercise in occupying Poland.

In Poland there’s an old joke: what is the height of impertinence? Shitting on someone’s doormat, ringing their doorbell and asking for paper.

Das merkwürdige Interesse der AfD an Belarus

Seit Jahren pflegen AfD-Politiker Kontakte nach Belarus. Im Bundestag stellten sie zuletzt auffällig viele parlamentarische Anfragen zu dem Land. Experten und Dissidenten fürchten, dass diese Anfragen dem belarusischen Regime helfen könnten, Kritiker zu verfolgen.

Russia is currently acting near the Polish/Lithuanian border exactly as it did in 2021, before attacking Ukraine in 2022.

But this time it’s bringing the nukes, too.

If Europe flinches now, I predict there will be a conflict between NATO and Russia in the coming years.

This coming on the eve of ”peace talks” on Ukraine in Alaska should be an eye-opener to everyone.

Russian ”peace” is your capitulation & when you show weakness, Russia escalates!

“Five years later, we still remember those taken from us by the violence of the Belarusian and Russian regimes. We remember those who gave their lives to stop the war machine that tries to roll through the villages and towns of Ukraine, hoping to bring back the Empire back. The Empire that we learned to hate with the milk of our mothers”

“The main repressive article of dictatorial Belarus, which is used against prisoners, is Article 411 ‘Malicious disobedience to the demands of the administration of a correctional institution executing a sentence of imprisonment.’ It allows a person to be kept in prison or colony almost indefinitely.”
