With President Vladimir Putin of Russia looking to accelerate moves toward a “union state,” Belarusians are promoting a stronger sense of their own national identity.
How incredibly tone-deaf @latimes! “Go to Crimea, though it is technically occupied by Russia, your trip will be in violation of Ukrainian law and your cellphone/credit cards won’t work.” Completely undermines your otherwise great reporting from the region latimes.com/travel/la-tr-t…
Restoring 🇷🇺 voting rights in #PACE is inappropriate & just wrong. The reasons for suspending still there - aggression in 🇺🇦 & 🇬🇪 continues & Minsk Agrmts are unfilled. The int. community must firmly defend int. law & human rights. 🇪🇪 will stand for European principles & values.

It’s no surprise that Russia’s government takes issue with HBO’s #Chernobyl, or that a Russian show about the disaster is now being filmed, based on a conspiracy theory that a CIA agent was responsible. The reasons behind the decisions are. #ChernobylHBO themoscowtimes.com/2019/06/04/put…
