Med anledning av en diskussion som förts i media och samhällsdebatten. ⤵️

Trump’s policy of appeasing Putin and “protecting him from really bad consequences” only reinforces the partnership between Russia and China.

Talade med Martin Wicklin på Söndagsintervjun(P1) i P1 om världspolitisk oro, mediala stormar och livet i cancerland. sverigesradio.se/avsnitt/martin…

Alleged footage from Irkutsk.

In central Moscow, a man is grabbed by six men who put him in the trunk of their car. No one interferes, and the car has official plates and a blue light, typically reserved for authorities.

Repressions continue. In Volgograd, a young student is sentenced to 12 years in labour colony for treason. Allegedly, he transferred 3,000 rubles (ca 30 USD) to someone in Ukraine.

Today, I thanked the 🇸🇪 parliamentary group 'For a Democratic Belarus' for their strong support. We discussed practical steps: support for Belarusians living in 🇸🇪, a memorandum of cooperation w/ Sveriges riksdag, godparenthood for political prisoners & closer ties w/ Nordic Co-operation.

Former Russian Minister of Culture, Michail Shvidkoi, suggests bringing back a formal agency for government censorship. Giving regular instructions to Russian journalists etc, he suggests, is too cumbersome. It is more efficient to have direct control over media and culture.

Intervju som bara måste läsas.

The Swedish government continues its support for Ukrainian defence. Hopefully, this can be a source of encouragement for allies currently on sitting on the fence, and a way to create a more just burden sharing.
