Bl.a. handler det om at skræmme danskerne til at trække støtten til Ukraine:

"Det bliver Bornholm, København og Nordsjælland, der bliver de første (russiske) mål," kan man bl.a. læse i "Velinformeret".

Under dækker af at være uafhængige, objektive medier poster kanaler som "Velinformeret" dagligt massive mængder russiske "talking points" ud i den danske offentlighed.

På overfalden har Pravfond til formål at yde retshjælp til russere i udlandet, men dokumenterne fortæller også en anden historie: Fonden er et instrument, som den russiske stat bruger til skjult at finansiere påvirkningsoperationer i Danmark og andre lande.

Will the future of Europes (our) security architecture be dictated by Putin and Trump in SA, hosted by MBS?

Niels Fastrup 🇩🇰🇪🇺 @nielsfastrup.bsky.social · Feb 12

Hard to imagine a more blatant humiliation of the EU and UKR: not only is Trump unilaterally dictating the US’ (former) partners how peace is to be negotiated, he also speaks with Putin shortcutting the EU and UKR and begins to plan for a meeting with Putin in SA:

NEW STORY OUT

Trump Jr.s visit in Greenland on January 7 didn’t come out of the blue: for years, advisors and operatives close to Trump have worked in the shadows to construct a game-plan for how to win over the people of Greenland using “diplomatic charm”:

From what I understand this is a Russian rescue operation. We have eyes on it though

This could be seen as pretty hostile by the Danish government, but also delicate to handle as no one wants to get in the way of Trump nor the people of Greenland themselves

Could this mean heightened importance for Russia of the Baltic naval bases to supply its troops in Africa and hence more Russian activity through the Danish straits?

Apparently, presumed Hamas operatives have also vainly been searching for a secret storage facility in Poland as late as October 2023, in connection with the October 7 attack on Isreal , according to Der Spiegel

Correction: it’s unclear when the caches were established and the one in Denmark seems to have been emptied in 2019, not established. However, newer caches containing weapons have been found in Bulgaria recently, according to previous reporting by Der Spiegel
