Finland right now as it watches the Russian military collapse in Ukraine.

Abkhazia and South-Ossetia suddenly look really tasty.

Are you going to finish that Transnistria?

Very concerning news. Marianna, the pregnant girl from #Mariupol, turns out to be one of the refugees that has been taken to #Russia in violation of the evacuation agreement.

There they put her in front of a camera and have her say there was no aerial attack on the hospital.

She is able to admit there was an explosion om the maternity hospital, but remains very vague on what it could have been, leaving room for the interpretation the Ukrainians bombed it themselves, a lie pro-Kremlin actors have pushed from the very start.

They also have her criticizing the AP photographer for taking these pictures of her that went around the world.
