Miten saadaan nämä vilkkuvalot vilkkumaan vain jalankulkijoiden kohdalla? Turhaan vilkkuvat myös pyöräilijöille, joilla yleensä on väistämisvelvollisuus. Autot pysähtyvät ja sitten arvotaan kumpi lähtee liikkeelle ensin. #liikenneturva #pyöräily #autot #iltasanomat #poliisi www.is.fi/autot/art-20...
Suojateiltä tuttu näky paljastui laittomaksi – kaikki uusiksi

Lahden vanhusten kotihoidossa on todella huonot työolot. Sijaisia ei löydy, kesälomia ei saa kuin viikoksi kerrallaan. Muutenkin työvuorot annetaan vasta edellisen viikon perjantaina. Ei kannata hakea #sote alalle töihin.

For once a good take on Finlandization that does justice to the complex feelings Finns have about the era - and also highlights why it would never be an option for Ukraine
What does history teach us about the possible path forward for Ukraine? I take a look, from grim scenarios like Molotov-Ribbentrop and Vichy France, to Finlandization, Korea and Cyprus, to a surprise comeback like Croatia. www.wsj.com/world/europe...
Essay | What Is the Endgame for Ukraine?
History offers a range of precedents for what an agreement with Russia could look like—and how bad the consequences might be.

The question of Ukraine joining NATO is when, not if. And that was agreed by ALL allies, during extensive discussions at the NATO Summits in Bucharest, Vilnius and Washington. I don’t recall members reconvening to ratify any backtracking since then.🧵1/5

Agree. At this point, you disrespect Ukraine, you disrespect Europe.
This would’ve been unacceptable towards any European leader but the fact that Zelenskyy leads a country at war makes it the greatest possible insult.

Can't see how Europe and the US can reconcile frankly. The reception to Zelensky among EU leaders vs this doesn't seem bridgeable. This is going to play awfully in every chancellery across Europe. A big split is coming
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.
Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.
Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.
This is unbelievable.
