Estonia has closed off a road/border passing through Russia after larger than usual groups of troops have been spotted.

Comment: I am hard pressed to find any insignia on those filmed and SE news claims "little green men".

Et stykke af vejen fra byen Värska til Saatse - “Saatse-støvlen” er derfor også blevet lukket. Vejen går nemlig direkte igennem russisk territorium af Sovjet-historiske årsager.

Både private bilister og den offentlige transport skal nu omdirigeres.

En større gruppe bevæbnede russiske soldater er fredag set bevæge sig langs grænsen og tæt ved grænsen mod Estland.

“At dømme ud fra deres uniformer var de bestemt ikke grænsevagter.”

De estiske myndigheder har lukket grænseovergangen ved Saatse og vejen tæt ved.

Economist har lavet en oversigt over russiske hybride angreb i Europa fra 2018 og frem til maj i år.

Den seneste måneds drone-show mangler selvfølgelig.

En oversigt, der i øvrigt kan opdateres nærmest ugentligt, alt efter hvad man tager med.

Merkel leder febrilsk efter en måde at pynte på sit eftermæle. Hun kommer det ikke ligefrem nærmere her:

"Merkel giver Polen og de Baltiske lande en del af skylden for Putins krig".

Worth nuancing (valid) worries about Babis-led Czechia joining Hungary & Slovakia in trio of EU spoiler states + democratic backsliders.

1/ Czech institutions strong
2/ Babis's ANO has backed off some prior pro-🇷🇺🇨🇳 positions
3/ ANO not all-mighty; will form minority govt or lead fractious coalition

Valgstederne er nu lukket i 🇲🇩. Valgdeltagelsen ≈ 52%. Det højeste fremmøde siden 2014. Valgstederne i udlandet er åbne indtil kl 21:00 lokal moldovisk tid. Umiddelbart er fremmødet betydelig i både diaspora og Chisinau, men lavt i Transnistrien - ergo: Gode nyheder for PAS.

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned yesterday that a "hybrid war" has started in Europe after waves of drones shut down Danish airspace this week.

Europe is at hybrid war, Danish prime minister announces

There is one obvious antagonist “and that is Russia,” Mette Frederiksen says.

Day 300 of #GeorgiaProtests: The Ivanishvili regime has done everything to crush peaceful protest in Georgia: jailing nearly all opposition leaders, arresting & torturing protesters, shrinking civic space, unleashing unprecedented repression against critical citizens, launching baseless legal cases.

“Russia is establishing new rules of the game in NATO’s east, setting the stage for a new phase in its undeclared conflict with the alliance. Poland’s promise to shoot down Russian aircraft that violate its airspace is a logical next step” My latest: theeasternflank.substack.com/p/russia-vio...

Det er løgn og hysteri, når Polen og Estland siger, at Rusland har krænket landenes luftrum. Det siger Ruslands Poljanskij her til aften ved mødet i FN’s sikkerhedsråd.

"I want to remind you of the words of our president. Russia has never threatened anyone. It does not threaten European countries," Peskov said (he was quoted by RBC ).

Remember how they attacked Ukraine and argued it wasn't them in 2014? Same playbook.

Den tidligere regering gik af, da det kom frem, at premierminister Paluckas havde flere lyssky forretninger - også efter han blev minister.

Det førte til, at partiet 'For Litauen' kunne ikke længere samarbejde med 'Nemunas Daggry', og derfor skulle der ny koalition til. 5/5
