Georgia. Nowhere on the European continent is there a greater inequality between a parliamentarian's and an ordinary citizen's salary.

The Lindsey Graham Act would have imposed significant new sanctions on Russia from 18 October, but allowed the President to issue waivers. He just did. To avoid screaming, I went through every provision explaining them and indicating which he waived. Spoiler: All the ones that did anything.

It's already been said many times that the U.S., under President Donald Trump, was turning its back on Ukraine. But the past few days show something worse than abandonment: Trump is now actively helping Russia win the war.

Zelenskyy: It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner (..) but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise, we can’t survive… This is why it’s painful when Trump chooses to be on Russia’s side. This is not the right side of history.

Lithuania’s parliament has voted to lift the country’s constitutional ban on hosting nuclear weapons, marking a major shift in its defense policy. The move clears a legal obstacle to Lithuania potentially participating more closely in NATO’s nuclear deterrence arrangements.
