In a joint statement, leaders from the European Commission, France, Italy, the UK, Poland and Finland said “the current line of contact should be the starting point of negotiations”.

Looks like it’s less of backing and more admission of defeat. Putin was „right” to put this many people through his meat grinder because he got what he wanted - unsustainable terms for Ukraine which will destabilise it eventually and lead to becoming a puppet state again.

I would have never imagined Lithuania would be there before Poland. Congrats to Lithuanian gays and gayladies. I’d visit you guys more if wasn’t very apparent that the never ending road construction between the border crossing and Marijampole is a man-made but natural barrier sized way to keep us away.

Back in the day I was quite outspoken about how much of a national security issue PiS politicians are because plenty of things they did were in Russia’s best interest. Turns out they are just as incompetent as the rest of the political class because there’s just no way of reconciling this and the fact that PiS gave away loads of our soviet-era weapons to Ukraine without any strings attached when second invasion began. I’m so bored of PO doing everything in their power to distract their voters from the fact that their government is catastrophically inept too.

I don’t get how EPP got idealised by the media so much. I mean, I get it, media serve big business, and so does EPP. Orban/Fidesz was in EPP for years and they were fine with that. Polish PSL (which would would be rightly called fascists by anyone who took a moment to look at what they represent) are still in EPP. EPP were always neoliberal brand of conservatives and have been behaving exactly as expected. I hate EPP with passion if it wasn’t apparent by now.

Roma genocide is not going to get recognised as long as we live in this capitalist hellscape. The reason people hate them is because they refuse to participate in the death cult that is modern economy.
