Marco Setaccioli wrote that a video showed the attack that took place the previous evening in Pisochyn, in the suburbs of Kharkiv, where, according to his post, Russian forces struck a supermarket while it was open. He reported that three people had died — a 16-year-old boy, a 19-year-old girl, and a 51-year-old woman — and that another 25 were injured, including two girls aged 13 and 9. Setaccioli added that the store was located in a densely populated residential area, near multi-story buildings and shops. Citing the prosecutor's office, he indicated that the strike occurred around 7:25 PM. In commenting on the attack, he claimed that Kremlin supporters, even outside Russia, were encouraging Moscow to hope that support for those fighting for their freedom would diminish. He accused them of being complicit in the victims' plight and wrote that, after a possible collapse of Moscow, they would not be able to escape the shame of having supported what he called the 21st-century Reich. #Ucraina #Kharkiv #Guerra (translated)

Saara Huhtasaari wrote that Sanna Marin had been in Italy promoting her book and told Corriere della Sera that she would likely not run for office unless Russia attacked Finland. In that case, according to Huhtasaari, Marin would have said she was available. Huhtasaari interpreted the statement as positioning herself rather than expressing a willingness to be a victim. According to her, Marin implied that conventional political work did not match her capabilities and that only a crisis threatening Finland's existence would be a sufficiently significant task. Huhtasaari compared this to the scale of historical leaders such as Kekkonen, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Lee Kuan Yew, and George Washington, using the metaphor of the "Napoleon syndrome" to describe the phenomenon. She specified that she did not mean it as a diagnosis. Huhtasaari also criticized the contradiction between Marin's book discussing hope and the self-image conveyed in the interview. She argued that the role of politics was to build structures that functioned without a single politician. As examples of such builders, she mentioned Lee Kuan Yew, who influenced Singapore's development, and Mart Laar, who made economic and institutional decisions in post-independence Estonia. Huhtasaari believed that there had not been similar builders in Finland for decades and that Marin did not belong to their ranks. According to Huhtasaari, statesmen did not announce in advance when they would return to politics, but either did their job or stepped aside. She criticized Marin for traveling to present her book, which discussed decisions made behind closed doors, and for associating a potential return with Russia's attack. Huhtasaari described this as a fantasy of seeing herself as a historical exception. #SannaMarin #Politiikka #Historia (translated)
Professor Michele Geraci, former Undersecretary of State, described the statements made by former Prime Minister Gentiloni as disturbing, arguing that they seemed to confirm conspiracy theories about the European Union. According to Geraci, these theories depict the EU as a non-democratic institution, where a country could not oppose the Commission's policies even through voting procedures and would risk, like Orbán, losing elections due to the Union's intervention rather than the will of the voters. Geraci asked readers what they thought about it. #UnioneEuropea #politica #teoriecomplottiste (translated)
