The author claimed that more than 1,000 high-ranking Russians had taken luxury trips to Europe costing over €30,000, mostly to France, and that a third involved private jets.

So the US is trying to break up Canada??? The National Security Strategy from Dec 2025 says the US should break up the EU. Has it approached individual EU member states as it has Alberta and Quebec? #USCanadaRelations #NationalSecurityStrategy #EUBreakup #US #CA #EU

Just one murderous Russian who went about Bucha killing civilians in cold blood. This is what awaits Europe if we let Ukraine lose. But sure, let's keep giving these murderers visas to Europe. They bring tourist euros after all. #Bucha #StopRussianTerror #SupportUkraine #RU #UA #EU

This story also covers a Ukrainian parliamentarian who has threatened if Estonian officials don't channel all of its aid to Ukraine through him, his political connections will get those officials fired. Ukraine has enough of a corruption perception problem, it doesn't need to #Ukraine #Corruption #Politics #UA #EE

Russia closes area close to easy access to Estonia, apparently to prepare for an exodus once mobilisation is announced. https://t.co/3rtYxlWpQi #Russia #Estonia #Mobilization #RU #EE

These nerve-wracking elections every weekend. Last week the knife-edge results coming in from Sweden. And now the Duma elections in Russia. Too close to call. 😬 Meanwhile, mobilization starts Monday. #Elections #Politics #Russia #SE #RU

And if the US follows through on abandoning Europe as it has repeatedly threatened, it would be rather silly not to have a fallback plan. #USForeignPolicy #Europe #FallbackPlan #US #EU
