Tucker Carlson popped over to Budapest where he met Viktor Orban today. The Fox News host and conspiracy theorist will also speak this Saturday at a far-right event in the Central European country. His segment on the main stage is titled "The world according to Tucker Carlson."
Another shot of Orban and Carlson today with one of the organizers of this Saturday's far-right event.

@JoshKovensky And the event program mccfeszt.hu/en/program/the…
Carlson, in Budapest, told viewers at the top of his show last night: "If you care about western civilization and democracy and families and the ferocious assault on all three of those things by the leaders of our global institutions, you should know what is happening here..."

Ugh. Rattled and no doubt under duress, Roman Protasevich, the Belarusian journalist dragged off a RyanAir flight in Minsk after a bogus bomb threat, tells a state propaganda channel that he pleaded guilty to organizing "riots" to try to oust Lukashenko, who isn't all that bad.
The disturbing "interview" is being pushed by Lukashenko's propagandists as well as Russian state-run and pro-Kremlin media in an attempt to whitewash the Belarusian dictator in the eyes of Belarusians and smear his opposition and the West.
Protasevich says in the full-length video, which I'm not sharing here, that he "realized that many things for which Alexander Grigoryevich [Lukashenko] is criticized are in fact just attempts to pressure him, and that in many moments he acted...like a man with balls of steel." 😏

Ukrainian President Zelensky met today with US Sens. @ChrisMurphyCT, @SenatorShaheen, @robportman. He told them US & EU sanctions against Russia "are no longer working" and that it's "necessary not just to put pressure [on Russia], but to build a new format of sanctions policy." Image
@ChrisMurphyCT @SenatorShaheen @robportman More on that meeting here: president.gov.ua/en/news/glava-…

And here on Nord Stream II. "Nord Stream 2 will disconnect Ukraine from gas supplies, which means 'disconnecting' us from at least $3 billion a year… We will have nothing to pay for the Ukrainian army." president.gov.ua/en/news/volodi…
Read quickly and overlooked this earlier: Zelensky told the US senators that Russia has only pulled back about 10,000 soldiers of some 100,000 that it had mobilized near the Ukrainian border this spring. "Russia is only declaring in words the withdrawal of its forces," he said.

Horrific scene. This Belarusian activist, before trying to slit his throat with a pen in court, said, "the GUBOPiK (a brutal police force of Lukashenko's) promised that if I don't admit my guilt then there will be criminal cases opened against my relatives and neighbors."
Report here, in Russian. carbide-datum-297715.appspot.com/news/2021/06/0…

Stepan Lapytov (In Belarusian, Sciapan Latypaŭ), in the video above, was arrested for organizing a community protest against the brutal Lukashenko regime. His father told local media he'd been abused while in custody.
Here's a video of him being carried out of the courtroom after the incident.

Ukraine’s Azov regiment, formerly Azov battalion that became part of the country’s National Guard, posts photos of a recent training. Two guys seen with tattoos of the Black Sun/sonnenrad, a popular neo-Nazi symbol. Another guy flashing 👌. Imagine if this were US Natl Guard...
Azov is well known for having far-right extremists and neo-Nazis in its ranks. The regiment and broader Azov movement has attracted the attn of Western extremists who’ve gone to Ukraine to train with the group. Journalists, including me, have done extensive reporting on Azov.

Unbelievably brazen move by Belarusian dictator Lukashenko to fake a bomb threat, scramble a jet, & force a @Ryanair flight to land in Minsk to arrest @nexta_tv founder @pr0tez, who helped organized last years protests against Lukashenko. Protasevich could face the death penalty.
Reaction from the Belarusian opposition leader in exile who’d have likely won last year’s presidential election if it hadn’t been rigged. She’s asking for an international response, including further sanctions against Lukasheno’s regime.
Here’s the president of Lithuania reacting to today’s absolutely mad events. The Ryan Air fight was headed to his capital of Vilnius. The Irish airline had flown through EU airspace before crossing into Belarusian airspace.

Erik Prince’s guy Tom Williams keeps popping up in pro-Trump smear and spying campaigns. Pet NYT, Williams replaced ex-spy Richard Seddon as a Project Veritas trainer.

I reported for @BuzzFeedNews that Prince provided Williams to Rudy Giuliani as a bodyguard on his Ukraine trip.
Here’s the NYT story by @MarkMazzettiNYT and @adamgoldmanNYT that mentions Williams’ role in Project Veritas: nytimes.com/2021/05/13/us/…

And my story from last week about Williams working at Giuliani’s bodyguard in Kyiv in the attached tweet.
Tom “Doc” Williams blocked me on Twitter after I reached out to him for comment. Then he locked down his account. But of course I took screenshots of everything before he did both. His tweets were filled with pro-Trump and pro-Erik Prince and Blackwater content.
