Hungary has simplified entry conditions for russians. They have included russian citizens in the so-called “national card” - a program that allows those wishing to work in Hungary for at least two years.
1/n
2/ Meanwhile, other European countries, such as Norway and Finland, have banned or significantly restricted the entry of russians.
3/ The problem is that now, because of Hungary, russians will be able to move freely to other EU countries, including those who banned their entry.
The russian economy is finally cracking: sanctions are working, inflation is skyrocketing, and money is running out.
1/n
2/ More than 1,000 companies left russia. Some of the companies, like Siemens, have been on the russian market for more than 150 years, since Tsarist Russia. Now they are gone and will never return.
3/ Russia's national currency, the ruble, is very weak. The government pumped enormous sums of money to support the war efforts. So, inflation is soaring. In a futile attempt to stabilize the economy, russia recently raised the interest rate to 18%.
In Paris, 15 russian athletes will compete at the Summer Olympics, despite the fact that they support the genocidal war and Putin.
Among them:
Tamara Dronova (cycling): worked for the Dynamo security forces and illegally traveled to the occupied Crimea in 2016 and 2019.
1/n
2/ Alena Ivanchenko (cycling): left “likes” under many social media posts in support of the war, including posts questioning Ukraine's right to exist and posts supporting the annexation of Donetsk and Luhansk.
3/ Elena Vesnina (tennis): left "likes" under many social media posts in support of the war, including a post by russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov, which hailed the "heroism" of russian soldiers for killing Ukrainians and calling Ukrainians as Nazis.
Russia is lying about its economic strength: sanctions are working and we need more.
Finance ministers from eight European countries claim that the “russian government is lying” about sanctions not impacting russian economy.
Let’s look into it…
1/n
2/ The first point is extremely important- russia is lying, they always do. So, relying on the data reported by russia itself is just stupid. But there are many other data sources that show us an accurate picture.
3/ In reality, sanctions are working very well: russia's national currency, the ruble, is very weak, which raises import prices and contributes to inflation.
On July 24, 2024, Save Ukraine returned seven Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories.
Here are their stories:
1/n
2/ A 12-year-old girl whose parents serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces; they searched long for an opportunity to evacuate their daughter, as children of military personnel are closely monitored.
3/ Two brothers, aged 15 and 19. The FSB detained their parents a month ago, and they are currently victims of enforced disappearance.
Thousands of Ukrainian children were abducted and indoctrinated to be “soldiers”.
30 minutes to pack and two days to travel through Crimea to Anapa. This is the route russians use to take Ukrainian children to the aggressor country.
1/n
2/ Then begins a targeted campaign to destroy Ukrainian identity, using psychological pressure, lies, and propaganda.
3/ In a military-patriotic camp, russians forced Ukrainian children to sing the russian anthem and punished them for mentioning Ukraine. The objective was to “turn them into soldiers.”
