To see how many generals he has left

For some reason Putin has a magnifying glass on his desk (well spotted by @skazal_on)

Some striking homepages on Russia's leading independent media websites today. Absolutely not succumbing to the Kremlin's demands to stop calling Russia's war what it is

don’t remember it so don’t know what happened - a bold approach to history that would have saved me a lot of reading at uni

Great job in Prague for anyone who wants to support civil society and independent media in the FSU. Excellent English and ability to see the beauty in a logframe appreciated. praguecivilsociety.org/vacancies/outr…


Just an incredibly morally repugnant decision by the IMF here. What’s the point in sanctioning Belarus if Lukashenka gets a cash handout to continue cracking skulls?

Confirmed: Belarus to receive almost $1 billion from IMF, despite U.S. & others trying to force a last-minute block Opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya warned the funds - which come with no conditions - will be used to ramp up repression themoscowtimes.com/2021/08/23/imf…



‘trying to be anti racist’ 🤔

Good to see Lukashenka getting into the Olympic spirit

Belarus dictator Lukashenka threatens country's Olympics team: "If you go there as tourists and return with nothing, it's better not to return to the country. I am telling you this as the president... interpret it as you want". So far, Belarusian team won no medals on @Tokyo2020

The only surprising thing here is UEFA having the spine to push back and say the map and glory to Ukraine line is ok. Assume Russia just underestimated the bribe required.

#BREAKING UEFA demands Ukraine make changes to #EURO2020 jersey to remove 'political' slogan that sparked protests from Russia #AFPSports

Ukraine's kit for the Euros: Map including Crimea? ✅ "Glory to Ukraine" on the back?✅ Russia comically angry ✅ Can only assume kit maker @JomaSport will find their contract with CSKA Moscow mysteriously cancelled. bbc.com/news/world-eur…


Nice to see a maximum lethality approach taken to pedestrians crossing the road

#iihf boss René Fasel, with all his usual nutty pomposity, demands Riga restore the official Belarus flag or take down the IIHF one. Riga’s mayor says no and gladly takes down IIHF flag. eng.lsm.lv/article/cultur…


Delightful trolling by the Latvians at the hockey championship in Riga

⬜🟥⬜Among the flags of the hockey championship, we raise the flag of free Belarus! This flag was entrusted to me by political refugees from Belarus. A flag symbolizing a regime engaged in state terrorism does not belong in Riga – so we took it down! #FreeBelarus #ЖывеБеларусь
