The Russian bots and talking heads called us Baltic chihuahuas. So naturally, we made a sticker. Certified. Existential. Threat.

Latvian MEP @rihardskols.bsky.social posts an open letter in response to a similar gesture by Hungary's PM. Viktor Orbán's original is also attached here for reference in case you missed it yesterday.

Nearly four years into Russia’s war against Ukraine, one thing is overdue: Wagner must be designated a terrorist organisation in the EU. Wagner isn't a “private military company”. It is a Kremlin tool of organised violence - torture, executions, sexual abuse, destabilisation from Ukraine to Africa.

EU officially adopts 16th package of sanctions against Russia

The new measures, announced on the third anniversary of the all-out war, target Russia's "shadow fleet" of oil tankers, banks, aluminum imports, and other sectors.

Three years ago, the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, expecting a swift victory, expecting the world to look away, expecting Ukraine to break. Three years on, Ukraine still stands. It fights. It endures. And that in itself is a crushing defeat for Russia.
