Swedish Air Force says it intercepted two Russian Tu-22M3 intermediate-range (not “strategic”) bombers over the Baltic today. One photo shows a nuclear-capable Kh-32 air-to-surface missile under the belly of one of the bombers.
The more I read from Trump, the more optimistic I become about the future of independent media.
"The Russian economy can only enter one of two scenarios: long-term decline or shock. Either way, they will continue on a downslope to a financial disaster.’’
@pererikschulze.bsky.social The short answer is: Less and less for every day, because media and civil society are denied access to information and those trying to publish anything are repressed or locked up in jail. That said, we try to do our best:

Today marks 30 years since we presented our report on mismanaged ☢️ safety within 🇷🇺 Northern Fleet at the G7 Nuclear Safety & Security Summit in Moscow. The report became the first to be banned from 🇷🇺 bookstores after the collapse of the of the USSR. Facts have always been dangerous for the FSB.
The Norwegian media foundation Tinius Trust has extended its support for the Barents Observer and its Russian-language journalists in exile
I'm very happy to welcome Farida Kurbangaleeva to our team of Russian-language journalists in exile. Journalism is no crime, so our plan is to provide more of it across the border up here in the North.
Last year, JD Vance offered his support to the Pope.

A drone attack reportedly took place as the Plesetsk space centre in northern Russia was preparing to launch a rocket
Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again.
Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺
I gotta say that for all the trepidation about the stealth capabilities and threat from Russian submarines, NATO intelligence sure seems to know a lot about their operations.
A label of honor. Makes it even more important to subscribe to, and repost, newsletters by Memorial. Never obey to those attacking freedom of information. Never obey to chekism.
Fin artikkel hvor jeg får belyst litt hvordan den statsstyrte propagandatrompeten TASS fungerer på en dag som denne.

Disgrace 🇺🇸.
Today, April 7, marks the 37th anniversary of the sinking of Komsoloets submarine in the Norwegian Sea. A study published last week shows no signs leakage of weapons-grade plutonium from the two ☢️ warheads onboard.
True, but with Norwegian ‘eyes’ then… imagine if ‘London Radio’ (NRK via BBC 1940-45) should have called on their listeners in 🇳🇴 not to listen because the Nazi-German forces punished those who did? All people can risk-evaluate their own actions, maybe especially the ones reading texts by Memorial.
In interview, a rogue Trump threatens to leave NATO. “Oh yes, I would say [it’s] beyond reconsideration,” he said. “I was never swayed by Nato. I always knew they were a paper tiger...” www.bbc.com/news/live/c3...
Russia and China don’t have to do anything. Trump is doing the work for them.

A return to the past: Amid widespread shutdowns of mobile internet services, the head of Russia’s largest telecommunications company has advised people to return to fixed-line communication.

Worth noting that Donald Trump just announced the end of NATO and the Special Relationship in one tweet.
Agree, it is f... depressing to see that Memorial, BEFORE they MIGHT BE be declared "extremist", asks their 🇷🇺 mail subscribers to unsubscribe. Bring fear to the table ....etc.
Ildar Neverov, Moscow's provocator in Barentsburg (🇳🇴Svalbard), got himself a new tracksuit. Promoting a rotten state that collapsed 35 years ago. Here together with GRU-linked consul general Andrei Chemerilo and priest Gramatik.
Worries grow in Norway as #Murmansk becomes Russia's main oil export hub.
Kutt i veibruksavgift blir som å pisse i buksa for å holde varmen. Forsinker omstilling bort fra olje. Øk heller momsfritaksgrensen på elbiler til 500k slik at flere får råd til å komme seg bort fra petro-avhengighet.
Map of the lower 48 United States showing 0.25° GFS run from 18z on 20 March 2026. The variable is the 500 hPa geopotential height percentile rank considering ERA5. There is a record-breaking ridge across the Western U.S.
Honestly, this historic heat dome across the West is really hard to put into words for me. Temperatures over 110°F (43°C) in March, shattering all-time monthly records on multiple consecutive days, and not just by a little.
➡️ I can confirm this is human-caused climate change.

The EU and Iceland are close friends.
Our security is shared, and so are the challenges we face.
Today’s signature of an EU-Iceland Security and Defence Partnership takes our relationship to the next level. (1/2)
Russian film wins Oscar for best documentary.
And media inside 🇷🇺 don't report about it 🤣😂.
