More info THE EXTENT of President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine has been revealed as a new map shows how many thousands of civilians have been killed since Russia’s invasion.

Des milliers de réfugiés fuyant la guerre en Ukraine arrivent chaque jour en Pologne. Ils se déplacent sans masque et sont autorisés à entrer dans le pays sans certificat de vaccination ni preuve de tests négatifs au Covid-19. Pour le chef de la mission de recherche et de sauvetage en milieu urbain Jean-Claude Cordeau , le Covid passe au second plan : "Le Covid à ce poste frontière, ici, à Medyka, n'est évidemment pas une priorité. Pas une priorité pour nous et pas une priorité non plus pour les réfugiés qui arrivent. Nous nous occupons principalement de l'hypothermie chez les jeunes enfants et nous traitons les cas urgents afin qu'ils puissent poursuivre leur voyage. " Les réfugiés estiment aussi que les inquiétudes concernant le virus ont été éclipsées par le conflit, comme nous le confie Julia, originaire de Rivne : "Le Covid est une vraie maladie, mais c’est vrai que depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine, le Covid a complètement disparu, car la guerre constitue un … [Read more...] about Ukraine : la guerre fait passer le Covid-19 au second plan

Latvia is set to reintroduce compulsory military service amid growing tensions with neighbouring Russia and the war in Ukraine. The Baltic country currently has only 7,500 active soldiers and national guardsmen, supported by 1,500 NATO troops. The new mandate will apply only to men and will be gradually reinstated from 2023, officials say. "The current military system in Latvia has reached its limits," defence minister Artis Pabriks told reporters on Tuesday. "At the same time, we have no reason to believe that Russia will change its behaviour," he added.

We are now several months into the conflict with Russia. I say “we” because we are all pretending here in the West that the real war is between Russia and Ukraine but (nod nod wink wink) if we clandestinely, in some sense, provide full support to Ukraine then maybe the Russians, foolish and backward as they are won’t notice and we can simultaneously pretend that we aren’t flirting with the prospect of a long, arduous and inconceivably destructive war. I want to say at the outside that I think what Putin has done is unconscionable; God only knows what the impact will be, as all four of the horsemen of the apocalypse are on the march again. I think that the collusion of the leadership of the Russian Orthodox Church is even more unforgivable. Be that as it may, I also believe that the attempt to deeply understand the motive forces for this war, as it is very difficult to set things right (let alone avoid a similar future catastrophe—or even to stop this conflict from spreading) in the … [Read more...] about PETERSON: Russia Vs.

Russian and Norwegian officials say they have settled a dispute over coal mining shipments to the archipelago of Svalbard. Moscow had accused Olso of blocking food supplies from reaching Russian miners in the Arctic region via mainland Norway. The dispute had led to a week of tensions between the Kremlin and Oslo, amid Russia's war in Ukraine and EU sanctions. But Sergey Gushkin, a Russian consul based in Svalbard, said that Norwegian carriers had now agreed to pick up the disputed cargo and cross the border with it. "All these days there has been close contact between the Russian and Norwegian Foreign Ministries," he said on Russian TV. "The situation has been resolved, a workaround has been found." The supplies are expected to reach the settlement of Barentsburg by ship on Friday, Gushkin added. A Norwegian government spokesperson told AFP that the solution is "not a step backwards" and came after "good dialogue" with Russia. Russia accuses Norway of … [Read more...] about Russia and Norway agree to resolve Svalbard transit dispute
