"The interaction of these two forces is very uneven across different regions of the world," Georgieva said in a speech introducing the IMF and World Bank annual meeting to be held in Bangkok next week, noting that the global economy is currently pulled in opposite directions by two shocks – the energy supply shock stemming from conflicts in the Middle East and the positive demand shock arising from artificial intelligence, which simultaneously fuels inflation. #maailmamajandus #IMF #energiakriis (translated)

Jouko S. criticized Sofia Virta after she reported asking at the police station how domestic violence was visible in the area. Virta had stated that the police responded it was not visible. Jouko S. sarcastically asked whether the police should have lied for Virta to be satisfied with the answer. He interpreted Virta's reasoning to mean that the existence of domestic violence would be better than its absence, and he criticized the Greens. #lähisuhdeväkivalta #poliisi #yhteiskunta (translated)

Warnings are that the high price of gas may persist for years, although the sharpest phase of the energy crisis may quietly retreat, and this depends on both the geopolitical situations in the Middle East and securing new and stable energy sources in Europe. #Energiakriis #GaasiAeg #LähisIdaGeopoliitika (translated)

In Estonia, hundreds of elderly people suffer from domestic violence, where in the year 2023, the police have registered 391 cases of domestic violence among those aged at least 69, but the actual situation is likely much more serious, as the elderly may not be aware of or report the violence, which aims to ensure their dignity and safety. #lähisuhtevägivald #vanemaealised #ohvriabi (translated)

There may be something much larger happening in Russia than it appears outwardly. We are used to thinking of mobilization as an event. Putin gives a speech, a decision is announced, and reservists are called to service. The next mobilization may look completely different. Russia may gradually call men to service, decentralizing actions across the country, pressuring people to sign contracts, and sparing politically sensitive cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg. There may never be a single day when we could state that a new mobilization has begun. If this does not produce enough soldiers, the situation could become even bleaker. Russia could even stage an attack on its own soil and blame it on Ukraine or NATO. The goal would not be to convince us, but rather the Russians, that the country is under attack and needs more men for the war. This is also significant for Finland. If Russia manages to mobilize hundreds of thousands of new soldiers, the issue is not just about the front in Ukraine. At the same time, it is worth watching whether Russia begins to build a new strategic reserve and fill its new units in the Leningrad military district near Finland. There is no immediate threat of attack against Finland, but right now decisions can be made that determine Russia's military power at our borders for years to come. https://t.co/zWneprVedN #Venäjä #SotilaallinenVoima #Ukraina (translated)
