NO COMMENT. Kremlin-Linked Businessman Prigozhin Vows to Ruin Navalny

Anna Politkovskaya was killed in her apartment building in Moscow 12 years ago. We do not forget. In July 2018, the European Court of Human Rights condemned the Russian state with regard to a flawed investigation.

Il y a 7 ans, Boris Nemtsov était assassiné car il dénonçait la guerre en Ukraine et l'absence de réformes en Russie. Avec Milov, Kara-Murza, il avait appelé à une grande manifestation, "Contre la guerre, pour les réformes!" C'est une marche funèbre qui a eu lieu.

The French, Germans, Italians are onboard, at long last! Ukraine should be granted EU candidate status next week. This is not a symbolic decision, it is the recognition of Ukraine's rightful place in EU & the cornerstone of a new European security policy

European governments are committed to save Alexei Navalny and request a full investigation of the criminal poisoning. Obstacles are big as this picture posted by Kira Yarmish demonstrates: 3 men occupy the head doctor's office in Omsk hospital and refuse to disclose their names.

@v_milov is a first-class analyst and leading Russian politician, do read his interview! In English and in French, on @DeskRussie_en .@DeskRussie.
In our journal @DeskRussie_en must-read in-depth interview of @v_milov by @MarieMendras ."The West should have been arming #Ukraine after the Crimea & Donbas invasion. Western inaction was a major factor in driving Putin’s decision to invade in Feb. 2022.".

@lanaestemirova Dear Lana, we met after you lost your mother, murdered in Grozny. It was so hard, so inhuman, you were a teenager. Your wonderful Mom came to Paris to commemorate Anna's death in Oct.2007. Her memory lives and shines. Congratulations on the Nobel Prize! Take care, Lana.

Congratulations to Dmitry Muratov and Maria Ressa, and the many courageous journalists who do their job, give us honest information and analysis, defend liberties and civil rights, and support their societies! This is the most wonderful tribute to Anna Politkovskaya.
Лауреаты Нобелевской премии мира — Дмитрий Муратов и Мария Ресса. Очень сильное решение. Символы честной, свободной, несгибаемой журналистики — в России и на Филиппинах. И третий в истории российский лауреат, после Сахарова и Горбачева. Искренние поздравления обоим! 🎊

In Belarus, anti-Lukashenko voters were asked to go to the polls late this Sunday, so that their ballots could not be that easily tampered with (Voting started on Tuesday). We can expect strong protest, and more repression, after a rigged election.
Incredible voters turn out and long lines to the polling stations in Minsk

Mikhail Gorbachev has died. He was born in 1931 in a poor peasant family, of Ukrainian and Russian descent. Both grandfathers were arrested in the 1930s. He was formidable, human, committed to civil rights & liberties. He supported Novaya Gazeta and Anna Politkovskaya.

@AmourskyCyrille La barbarie n'a pas de limite. Nous devons mettre fin à la barbarie MAINTENANT, et sauver les Ukrainiens, nos voisins européens, qui n'ont jamais menacé la Russie. Notre stratégie doit être révisée, et mise en oeuvre MAINTENANT.

Today, the European Union and NATO must adopt a joint strategy to defend Ukraine and Ukrainians against Putin's military agression. A strategy of ACTION. The security of all Europeans at risk, and the future of 140 million Russians also at risk.

@Rus_Lib Absolument. Le Kremlin fait du chantage, et nous les y encourageons. La posture des pays européens doit évoluer, la politique allemande en particulier, et il est contre-productif d'attendre les résultats des élections européennes du 9 juin. Aide maximale à L'Ukraine.

Il est intolérable que la désinformation russe, qui est une arme de guerre et de destruction, s'exprime librement à la télévision française, par la voix d'un diplomate/agent de l'ambassade de Russie à Paris.
Ce propos du porte-parole de l'ambassade de Russie en France, qui révèle un mépris sans bornes à l'égard du peuple ukrainien qui vit dans un pays indépendant, mériterait, au minimum, un rappel à l'ordre du ministère des affaires étrangères français sur la "retenue diplomatique".

Fine interview, thank you Max. Navalny is a remarkable person and mighty politician.
On the left: the troll. “I’m the main opposition leader not because I banned everyone else from being one, but because it’s scary.” @navalny grabs an empty chair. “This seat is free, please, take a seat. But it comes with Prigozhin’s pidorasy. Are you ready to live with them?”
