Public office as a façade, while behind the scenes they were involved in deals and schemes involving private companies and subsidies. Once they realized they could get away with it, they sought more power and less democracy. We should take political integrity and anti-corruption more seriously.

APPLEBAUM: I live in Poland. I've lived here on and off for 30 years. I was here during period of NATO expansion. I can tell you that NATO expanded because countries in this part of Europe felt physically threatened by Russia. They asked to be part of NATO, even had to beg and plead to be let in.

Why would Moldova want to have a “civilized diplomatic dialogue” with Russia when Russia attacks Moldova’s interests almost every day through blatant disinformation and propaganda?

The Kremlin’s idea of a ‘civilised diplomatic dialogue’ consists of occupying over 12% of Moldova’s territory, routinely violating its airspace with drones and missiles, and refusing to respect Moldova’s sovereignty, independence and right to determine its own future.

Four straight days of Russian drones entering Romanian airspace. Now it’s Poland’s turn for the 2nd day in a row: yesterday, a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile entered Polish airspace and then crashed, and today, the Polish military intercepted a Russian spy plane near its airspace.

According to a statement issued by the Ministry of Defense, another drone entered Romanian airspace this morning, though only briefly. This is the 4th consecutive day that a russian drone has entered Romanian airspace. The first 3 were shot down. It seems like they’re testing our response time.

The decision to shoot down the drone was made by NATO’s Combined Air Operations Centre (CAOC) Torrejón. I’m glad Romania has finally taken this step. After dozens of Russian drones have violated Romanian airspace, this is the first one that Romania has actually shot down.

Russia operates a fleet of around 1,000 'shadow tankers' to circumvent sanctions. These ships are often old, underinsured, and operated through opaque ownership chains designed to obscure responsibility. Beyond transporting sanctioned Russian oil, they also carry environmental risks.
