Denmark holds a referendum on whether to opt in or opt out of EU defense policy. The revision of the 30 years of opt-out policy comes after the 🇷🇺 war in 🇺🇦 has shaken the concept of security in Europe. The ‘Russia effect’ has already been shown when 🇸🇪 & 🇫🇮 applied to join NATO.

There are about half a thousand 🇷🇺 servicemen at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, and the personnel there are working under conditions of constant pressure and humiliation 😞 The plant continues to operate in the 🇺🇦 energy system under the technical control of ‘Energoatom.’

A 🇺🇦 court sentenced two 🇷🇺 soldiers to 11 and a half years in prison for shelling Derhachi, north of #Kharkiv, from Russian soil. It was the second guilty verdict handed down by 🇺🇦 courts for war crimes since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February.
