No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

#FIMI and #disinformation are now systemic global threats, undermining democracies, economies, and human rights. They erode trust, polarize societies, and destabilize markets, requiring robust public-interest media and policy initiatives like the European Democracy Shield for resilience.

Another false Kremlin claim on Moldova’s energy security.

The facts:
▪️ Moldova stores ~22–23 million m³ of gas in Ukraine as strategic reserves
▪️ Moldova’s Energy Ministry confirmed the gas is safe
▪️ One Russian missile hit the Lviv region — no evidence of damage to gas storage

Global risk reports agree on a clear message: FIMI, disinformation and misinformation have become systemic threats to democracies, economic stability and social cohesion. Strong public-interest media are a critical defence.

The "ceasefire" does nothing to stop civilians being murdered of course.

In Kherson today, Russia hit a minibus. One passenger was killed and 5 others injured when a rocket from a MLRS struck the vehicle.

Iran’s suppression of freedom will not go unanswered.

We welcome today’s Council decision adopting new restrictive measures, including asset freezes, EU travel bans, and a prohibition on making funds or economic resources available to those listed.

What really, totally p*sses me off is Trunp trying to pretend he's saved Ukraine & Putin saying it's a humanitarian gesture.

Trump merely got a few days pause in a single aspect of blatant daily war crimes.

tRUmp sent warships to Iran for killing civilians. 🇷🇺murders more civilians, but nothing.

Peskov:

"President Trump did indeed personally appeal to President Putin with a request to refrain from carrying out strikes on Kyiv for one week, until February 1, in order to create favorable conditions for holding negotiations."

Most western media seem to be fixated on Zelenskyy "inviting" Putin to Kyiv, during this morning's briefing. It was said sardonically and not realistic, emphasising the need for a neutral venue.

Thanks to Ukraine's RBK for bullet points of the main stories from the session:

Zelenskyy has been briefing reporters this morning and a number of newsline came out of it.

About the "energy truce" Ukraine's President says there are no direct agreements. He thinks Trump just assumed "if Putin doesn't strike our energy sector we will not strike theirs."
