Rare Editions of Pushkin Are Vanishing From Libraries Around Europe
Dozens of books have disappeared from Warsaw to Paris. Police are looking into who is taking them, and why ā a tale of money, geopolitics, crafty forgers and lackluster library security.
As with #Russia, #Israel, and other places, not the country or even its peoples are the problem but the often illegally elected regimes or their actions contrary to international law and in violation of human rights.
That said, I do hope that the "leaders" of the aforementioned countries, including #Hungary's, will be ousted sooner rather than later.
A wave of Ukrainian drone strikes on oil refineries deep inside #Russia has left the #Kremlin racing to defend its own territory while still waging war on its neighbor. But the attacks have also achieved the unthinkable ā leaving the worldās largest petrostate running low on petrol.
Diesel prices for Russian consumers have skyrocketed, rising almost 10 percent in the past week alone.

#Russia has launched "Ruviki," a state-backed encyclopedia mirroring the original Russian Wikipedia. This new platform includes all previous Russian-language Wikipedia content but has been edited to omit information potentially unfavorable to the Russian government.
Interestingly, the Ruviki article about George Orwellās 1984 entirely omits the Ministry of Truth.

Belarusian authorities are preparing children for war with the #EU
In orphanages, schools, and camps, the military teaches children how to handle weapons.
These children are covered by the Belarusian state program "Lessons of Courage", which is aimed at the total militarization of the younger generation. They think that what adults in uniform are doing to them, preparing them for war is right.

Ukraine has sidelined U.S.-provided Abrams M1A1 battle tanks for now in its fight against Russia, in part because Russian drone warfare has made it too difficult for them to operate without detection or coming under attack, two U.S. military officials stated.

#Russia has warned #Kazakhstan its oil transit to #Germany could stop in June due to a payment impasse in a stark reminder of the landlocked country's reliance on Russia for its exports, sources said. The warning from state-controlled pipeline operator #Transneft is a reminder of Kazakhstan's exports fragility with most of its flow of 1.5 million barrels per day or 1.5% of global supply going via various Russian pipelines.
āEurope is mortal. It can die,ā French President Emmanuel Macron warned in a Paris speech, urging the European Union to become more self-sufficient in a rapidly changing world. āThe era when the EU bought its energy and fertilizer from Russia, outsourced its production to China and depended on the US for its security ā that era is over,ā he said. Macron struck a much more urgent and alarmist tone than a more optimistic 2017 speech he gave about similar issues facing the continent. The BBC has more about his warnings and how they connect to upcoming elections.
