The Serbian Army has proposed reinstating mandatory military service, which was suspended in 2011.

Germany just announced their latest aid package to Ukraine, first of the New Year.

Feature-wise, it's disappointing that it's difficult to find accounts to follow on here aside from going through each topic feed. Twitter's formula of adding adjacent voices you ARENT following into your feed wasn't perfect, but a semblance of that would work well here.

Russian outlet 360tv summarized Vladimir Putin's New Year Address to the Russian population:

North Americans seem to be tiring of supporting the 🇺🇦 war effort. Over in Ukraine, citizens may or may not be tired, but it doesn't really matter how tired they may or may not be, because this is what their Telegram channels look like on a nightly basis.

Another reason why I try to stick to what I know: I have an easier time discerning propaganda from the region/languages I'm more familiar with. I've seen so many 🇺🇲 peers try to post in solidarity with 🇵🇸, only to share a 13-year-old videos of Syrians being gassed, under assumption they're Palestinian

A lot of accounts similar to me will try to post about *all* wars currently going on but I won't be doing that. I can't in good faith pretend like I understand Hebrew, Arabic, or Farsi. While I consume updates of the Middle East everyday, that's not my expertise.

If we apply lessons of equipment acquisition from throughout the last 2 years, the F-16s have already been in use for the last two weeks. Potentially was what allowed 🇺🇦 to down three 🇷🇺 fighter jets in a single day last week. These public statements have tended to be mere formality.

With my family being from Romania, and the nature of my work allowing me to work abroad occasionally, I take a great interest in Eastern European news. So I'll be sharing updates from the war as well as other economic happenings I find interesting.

Ok, glad I'm here. I like the interface and UI a lot. But I'm pretty disappointed there's nowhere near the amount of direct sources, journalists, and official state agency accounts on here. Will give this a try anyway
