Ukraine is literally fighting South Korea’s primary enemy and the government in Seoul has nothing better to do than to yearn for an „extraordinary“ apology. Something very fishy is going on here and it has nothing to do with the North Korean soldier which Ukraine captured.

It’s not taken out of context. The claim that she wants Putin in front of the ICC is completely empty without support for continued aid to Ukraine and European rearmament. Does she imagine Putin would go to the ICC through diplomacy. It’s just silly.

This sort of attack by fascist Russia is hardly likely to cause major damage to a large bridge. The drone is aimed at the roadway. The intention is to hit cars and kill civilians. It's a terror bombing.

The stark reality is that Putin’s strategic goal is the EU’s destruction and Ru political control over as much of Europe as possible. Wherever he succeeds will be unfree, just like the Soviet Bloc was, and therefore any European who doesnt want to defend from Russia now is an enemy of freedom.
