It lasted less than a day. Many were individuals who had been in prison or had problems with alcohol and drugs. They were transported by a group of people who crossed the border from Russia on buses and urged them to occupy the building. Once they were inside, they turned towards Russia. There was Motorola [Arsen Pavlov, a Russian paramilitary leader who would later intervene in the war in Donbas]. Our investigation led us to talk to detainees, analyze the documents they had left when they retreated, and visit the places where they had stayed. The conclusion was indisputable, and my thesis is that the preparation for the occupation of Donbas did not begin in 2014, after the Maidan uprising [the popular uprising that led to the fleeing of pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych], but much earlier, perhaps after the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008. Close to a hundred Russians crossed the border dressed as civilians, as if they were tourists. They had no weapons. They went straight to Villa María. That is where they had left the uniforms and weapons with which they appeared on the streets of Sloviansk. The church employees were involved in the preparation, including a priest, who later became one of the leaders of the armed groups. #GuerraEnUcrania #Rusia #Donbás (translated)

Now the focus shifts to issues arising from the developed world, the "biggest culprits" in terms of debt, according to IMF director Kristalina Georgieva, but which may not remain limited there.

Kevin Diaz criticized Igor Paixão's attitude during his substitution in the 88th minute against Troyes. According to Actu Foot, he felt the player should have encouraged his teammates and thanked them, as the team was going through a difficult time. He also reminded that the club had kept him and had refused 35 million. Diaz found it inappropriate for him to smile while leaving at 1-0 and stated that he would summon him with his agent if he were the sporting director, before calling for a sanction. https://t.co/y1hLDLlFVj #Football #Sport #Ligue1 (translated)

We need a government. In the formation of a majority, as long as we take into account both the position of the PSD and the position of the PNL leader, Mr. Bolojan, the decisive factors remain the settlements in UDMR and in the National Liberal Party, which, as I said, is a kind of "Gordian knot" of this situation. Live on Antena 3 CNN, the former president of PNL, Crin Antonescu, stated that this is the last chance for the Romanian political scene to form a pro-Western or pro-European government. #Politic #Guvernare #România (translated)

Clément Molin wrote that the Ukrainian army continued its advance on at least three fronts and, according to him, was still putting pressure on the Russian groupings Zapad and Vostok. He announced that he would discuss the situation on the front of Komar and Velika Novosilka the following day, in the context of this progression. He estimated that, despite its apparently secondary impact, this advance concerned the southern flank of the Azov grouping, which was defending Dobropilla, while the offensive at Lyman protected the northern flank of the Centre grouping, responsible for defending Sloviansk. According to him, if the Russian forces did not react, a large part of the gains from 2025 could be reversed, and the prospect of a push east of Zaporijjia compromised. #Ukraine #Conflit #Armée (translated)
