🇱🇻 at @osce:. “Russian delegation alleged that OSCE mission (SMM) in 🇺🇦 failed at preventing conflict. Well,Russia was part of that mission. Therefore what we have to conclude is that everywhere where Russia participates - it fails. It definitely fails at conflict prevention.”

"To Berlin" – a WWII Soviet slogan widely used in 🇷🇺 propaganda in the last decades. This is precisely why 🇷🇺 opera singer Anna Netrebko wears a shirt with those words. She supports Russian chauvinism but is still invited to @StaatsoperBLN. This is unacceptable.
