Making your own moonshine has a well established tradition in Russia. Making your own fuel should be interesting! How will all those imported cars from the rotten West drive on it? I think the stuff available at fuel stations is already wreaking havoc with sensitive modern car engines.

This is the result of the pecking order of air defence positioning paired with good old Soviet style inaction or downright fear to act or take a decision. The homo sovieticus is a species resistant to any kind of reform.

Actually we are talking about Central Europe here, not some sort of continental periphery or backwater. Good journalism at the source cannot be replaced. The BBC’s drift towards annoyingly America focused reporting is taking away from important European news. I’ve pretty much given up on them.

I think there is a clear rift in the Swiss population between those who live in the illusion of neutrality and those who want more involvement in Europe and international politics. This is not new, it’s part of the political discourse and in a direct democracy as such difficult to change short term

I agree. But what is worse than a hollowed out illusion of neutrality many are clinging to, is the selective circumvention of that neutrality status for profit. It’s morally questionable but still well functioning economically.

Congratulations to all the Hungarians who stood up and united against the Orbán dictatorship! This is, after years of struggle, also a great moment for free and independent journalism in Hungary and in particular for Visegrad24. Keep up your important work!🩷

Time to capitalise on the momentum, restore social justice in Hungary and prosecute those who shamelessly sold out their country. I heard Bashar al Assad is subletting a room in his Moscow flat.

The Puppet Master in the Kremlin has done well achieving his goals: His bestie in Washington starts a ‘three days to Tehran ‘ war. Iran is strategically prepared. The war diverts world attention away from Ukraine, whilst fuel prices underpin Putin’s push to get sanctions lifted. Well done tRump!

Much depends on whom you ask that question. There is still regular reporting on ‘diplomatic’ exchanges but less on the actual war. Russian trolls are busy convincing us that Ukrainian refugees are scammers and our own homeless marginalised. Mainstream media have the attention span of fruit flies…

I fully agree with you, but this is also a symptom of a wider and well orchestrated campaign of normalisation strategies from Russia. Take the Russian ‘athletes’ at the Paralympic Games, the plans of welcoming Russia back to the Venice Biennale…. It helps to give those ‘tired’ of the war new purpose

Calling an aggressive 4 year invasive war with all the hallmarks of genocidal and imperialist intention ‘unfortunate’ is about as far as trivialisation of violence and banality of horror can go in the so-called diplomatic dialogue!

Young Ukrainians train to face death instead of creating art, coding apps, or studying medicine. While European peers debate internships & gap years, these cadets prepare for missiles & trenches. They trade discos and travel for the frontline, defending their homeland. 📷 Military Academy, Kyiv

As a Swiss/EU citizen I very much agree with your view. Remarkable prosperity and 30+ years of positive democratic development within Europe have helped Switzerland to preserve its ‘lone rider’ attitude for far too long. Switzerland’s full integration into Europe has never been more relevant.

Family first. A clear indication of what the main objective of this ‘peace negotiation’ really is: new business and more wealth for the near and dear ones.

I guess we really need Viktor Orbán to help us better understand Putin’s feelings and wishes! With Lukaszenko and others displaying obvious signs of stress, we seem to have entered a new phase of ‘leaders’ fighting for relevance.

Call me old fashioned, outdated, but taking away opportunities for young people to travel the world, open their eyes to new horizons is so wrong. How about we get serious instead about better public transport and get commuters off the road, proper school transport for all pupils etc. Real impact!

A real European peace plan would be one that reduces Putin’s strength at home or in Ukraine, forcing him to change his calculations.
