Il Tempo: Baltico, droni su Estonia e Lettonia: "Effetti dell'aggressione russa a Kyev"
Un drone russo si è abbattuto su territorio estone colpendo una ciminiera della centrale elettrica di Auvere, senza però provocare feriti né provocare danni alle infrastrutture elettriche. La procuratrice generale dell'Estonia, Astrid Asi, ha spiegato che sulla base delle "informazioni attuali" il colpo "non era diretto" verso il paese e che le prime indagini chiariranno le circostanze più specifiche. Secondo prime spiegazioni, il fatto sarebbe avvenuto nel corso di scontri a mezzo droni fra russi e ucraini nella regione del Mar Baltico. Il governo estone, comunque, si è riunito in seduta d'emergenza per valutare "l'incidente di sicurezza".
Poco dopo il fatto un altro drone proveniente da territorio russo si è schiantato in Lettonia, sebbene per la premier Evika Silina si tratterebbe di un mezzo "probabilmente ucraino". L'Aeronautica militare ha riferito di aver identificato "un veicolo aereo senza pilota nello spazio aereo lettone proveniente dalla Russia" e che "i sistemi di allarme rapido hanno rilevato un suono simile a un'esplosione" nella regione di Kraslava, al confine con la Bielorussia, alleata di Mosca. I resti del drone sono stati recuperati e nessun civile è rimasto ferito e l'incidente non ha causato danni materiali. "Questi sono gli effetti della guerra di aggressione su larga scala della Russia" ha affermato il direttore generale del Servizio di sicurezza interna estone (Iss), Margo Palloson, aggiungendo di temere "il verificarsi di simili incidenti in futuro".
Baltic, drones in Estonia and Latvia: "Effects of the Russian aggression in Kyiv"
A Russian drone crashed in Estonian territory, hitting a chimney of the Auvere power plant, but without causing injuries or damage to the electrical infrastructure. Estonian Prosecutor General Astrid Asi explained that based on “current information,” the strike “was not directed” at the country and that initial investigations would clarify the specific circumstances. According to initial explanations, the incident occurred during drone clashes between Russians and Ukrainians in the Baltic Sea region. The Estonian government, however, held an emergency meeting to assess “the security incident.”
Shortly after the incident, another drone from Russian territory crashed in Latvia, although for Prime Minister Evika Silina it would be “probably a Ukrainian” device. The Estonian Air Force reported identifying “an unmanned aerial vehicle in the Latvian airspace originating from Russia” and that “rapid alarm systems detected a sound similar to an explosion” in the Kraslava region, bordering Belarus, a Moscow ally. The drone wreckage was recovered and no civilians were injured and the incident did not cause material damage. “These are the effects of Russia’s large-scale aggression war,” said the Director General of the Estonian Internal Security Service (ISS), Margo Palloson, adding that he feared “similar incidents occurring in the future.”

“Trump Is Spoiling for a Fight over Canadian Potash
The fertilizer that feeds America is key to the president’s next confrontation with Ottawa”

IN DECEMBER 2025, United States president Donald Trump struck a deal that—uncharacteristically for such a spectacle-driven politician—barely registered among the general public.
The agreement committed the Belarusian government to releasing 123 political prisoners, a significant concession from one of Europe’s most entrenched authoritarian regimes. In return, Washington agreed to lift sanctions on Belarus’s potash exports—sanctions it escalated after the country’s rigged 2020 election and later expanded, in 2022, when Belarus allowed Russia to use its territory to invade Ukraine.
Why potash? Blame Canada. The United States can live without many imports. It can’t farm at scale without our potash. In 2024, the US imported about 12 million tonnes of the fertilizer from Canada, all of it dug from Saskatchewan, where it enters the US tariff-free under the Canada–United States–Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). Cut that supply, and American agriculture could grind to a halt.

Trimisul lui #Trump în 🇧🇾#Belarus susține că #Lukashenko ar putea efectua în curând o vizită în 🇺🇸#SUA.
🇧🇾🇺🇸 The government of #Belarus released 250 prisoners on Thursday in a deal brokered by the United States, with 235 released domestically and 15 people sent to Lithuania, the U.S. embassy in Vilnius said.
Washington meanwhile agreed to sanctions relief for the Belarusian financial sector, including Belinvestbank, and removed all remaining U.S. sanctions on potash companies Belaruskali, Belarusian Potash Company and Agrorozkvit.
How is lifting sanctions in exchange for the release of political prisoners sustainable? (for the sanctioning side, it is easy for the strongmen, just imprison more) #belarus
For this #BandcampFriday, consider some of my favourite musicians from #Belarus:
https://lavonvolski.bandcamp.com/ — the tentpole of Belarusian rock
https://leibonik.bandcamp.com/ — cerebral, irreverent, incisive
https://irdorath-by.bandcamp.com/ — pagan folk band that spent years in prison for bringing bagpipes to a protest
https://dzieciuki.bandcamp.com/ — fighting songs for every occasion
https://naviband.bandcamp.com/ — a gentle and soulful duo who gave up big scene in the homeland but kept their principles
The band that wrote this song is still rotting in a prison in #Belarus. #Lukashenka regime keeps imprisoning, torturing, and killing people over what they did during the 2020 protests and what they kept doing to sabotage #Putin's invasion of #Ukraine. Trump invited Lukashenka and Putin into his #InjusticeLeague #PeaceBoard.
These are not historic parallels. These are battles of the same war, a war #DictatorInternational has been waging on democracy since the second fall of the #RussianEmpire.
@MissGayle Saw this in #Belarus in 2020.
The regime turns enforcers into criminals not merely because it needs them to commit crimes, although yes of course it does -- it needs them to have a vested interest in preventing a return of the rule of law.
Same with Trump's tweets about #Iran protests: the instruction to "save the names" was as much a message to the regime's enforcers as it was to the protesters. That death toll is on him, too.
In January 2026, the collection of the Free #Belarus Museum in Warsaw was expanded with unique exhibits. Former prisoner Palina Sharenda-Panasiuk donated to the institution original ballot papers from the 2020 presidential election in Belarus, which had been pulled out of a fire as they documented Lukashenka electoral fraud.

Мой досвед і маіх сяброў у бел іт паказвае тое ж самае. Не раз бачыў як каманды скочваліся ў балота, таму што ў кампанію ў абыход працэсу найму набіралі на цёплыя месцы сваякоў топаў, іх сяброў ці проста даўніх знаёмых, якія апынуліся ў патрэбны час у патрэбным ліфце. І потым яны гадамі сядзелі на важных пасадах, паклаўшы болт на самаразвіццё і абавязкі, і займаліся імітацыяй.

#Poland ABW (Internal Security Agency) now runs an official bot on #Telegram where people can report recruitment attempts to conduct sabotage in Poland. Number of such incidents has increased significantly in Poland over the last year and vast majority of those detained are young citizens of #Ukraine and #Belarus who were recruited as “disposable agents” for quick money schemes and then blackmailed into much serious crimes. FSB can do the last part really professionally, it’s their job.
If you know people living in Poland who are disadvantaged situation and could fall for such make money quick schemes, share this bot with them https://t.me/ABW_STOPdywersji_bot
If they might feel more comfortable talking to Ukraine’s own SBU, they also run such bot https://t.me/spaly_fsb_bot

Secretary of State Marco Rubio once again demonstrates he’s either got no clue about what’s going on or intentionally distorting the nature of the #Russia invasion on #Ukraine
They are literally fighting over a 30-50 km strip in Donetsk, roughly 20% of the region still under Ukrainian control and now a central issue in negotiations.
If it was the case - if Russia was after Donbas from the start, they would just push full force there in 2022, and they would win that with the initial invasion force (200k). But they didn’t - they attacked on all directions, including the capital Kyiv passing through #Belarus and #Chornobyl. The original objective was a flash military coup, replacing the Ukrainian government with puppet regime and political control over the whole country.
Russia never abandoned this goal, which it says explicitly all the time, with the insistence on the “removal of root causes”, which is an euphemism of the above - to say that bluntly, root case being Ukraine’s sovereignty.
