Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) * ... @magyarpeterMP Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then - on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office.

Hungary’s Péter Magyar issues an ultimatum.

Absolutely massive fire this morning at the Tuapse oil refinery located in southern Russia following Ukrainian drone strikes last night.

Several fuel tanks seen burning.

Ukrainian forces once again struck the Tuapse refinery, Krasnodar region, in Russia. The entire complex is on fire..

A particularly important weekly summary by @phillipspobrien.bsky.social: European strategic realignment with Ukraine, Ukraine becoming a central player, snd reitersting who is calling the shots in the depraved American administration. Hint: it is NOT the despicable waste of space JD Vance.

So Poland gave a green light?

Trump behauptet immer lautstark, er würde den Russen nicht helfen, und tut dann ganz still das genaue Gegenteil.

EU: Dann hilft nur den von Orban blockierten 90-Milliarden-Kredit für die Ukraine endlich umzusetzen.
Ferner die russische Schattenflotte in der Ostsee konsequent blockieren.

A recent poll in Serbia asked, "Who is responsible for the war in Ukraine?" The respondents answered:
▪️ NATO 31.1%
▪️ US 28.2%
▪️ Ukraine 16.1%
▪️ Russia 8%
▪️ EU 5.3%

Never let Serbia join the EU, and stop sending aid - forever, regardless of who is in power.
