Changes in neighboring Belarus have led to the country becoming a springboard for an attack on Lithuania and its Baltic neighbors, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda told Politico.
"The regime of Belarusian authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko has become even more dependent on the Kremlin, as a result of which Belarus has become de facto" another province of Russia. "
Russian troops are constantly present on its territory.
In February-March, Belarus served as a bridgehead from which one of the groups of Russian troops advanced to the north of Ukraine, "Nauseda said.
According to the Lithuanian President, NATO troops deployed to the Baltic States to defend against possible Russian aggression are insufficient to carry out this task effectively.

Throughout the topic, Dmitry, Konstantin and some others are actively trying to convince everyone that there is freedom of speech in Russia or, as it was in recent statements, the freedom to develop national languages. I decided to delve a little deeper into this topic.
As a preamble: In Russia, the law "On Education" was changed and today in the national republics the national language is not mandatory. There is nothing the local authorities can do about it, as it is a federal law. This is one of the first steps towards belittling the role of the national republics and raising the role of the Russian language and calling everyone in Russia Russian without division into nationalities.
In the mid-2000s, the Center for Journalism in Extreme Situations conducted a study in an attempt to find out in which Russian regions indigenous languages were used in the press on radio and television. Only a few regions and republics can boast that they have newspapers and national television - Chechnya and Tatarstan, in the rest the situation is so sad that we can already talk about the complete loss of languages, except for everyday, "kitchen".
On July 20, 2017, in Yoshkar-Ola, President Putin declared that “for us, the Russian language is the state language, the language of interethnic communication, and it cannot be replaced by anything, it is the natural spiritual framework of our entire multinational country. Everyone should know him."
Until the fourth grade, in many republics of the North Caucasus, where several dozen peoples live, one can acquire knowledge in the languages of the titular peoples, and then education is conducted only in Russian. In Bashkortostan, “compulsory study of the Bashkir language was imposed in educational institutions in contradiction to the federal law on education,” as written in the submission of the prosecutor’s office of the republic, which dealt with the complaint of parents. Apparently, the parents were not ethnic Bashkirs, which puts the Bashkir language in the position of a petitioner, and not the state language, as it is written in Article 1 of the Constitution of Bashkortostan. The second language is Russian, which has an advantage. “The study of Bashkir as a state language is allotted 1-2 hours at the expense of hours of the variable part of the curriculum or extracurricular activities,” the Ministry of Education said in a message, and this means that soon the republic will become completely Russian-speaking.
After Putin's speech, the prosecutor's office in Tatarstan put forward a demand to exclude the Tatar language from the compulsory school curriculum. Corresponding submissions began to come to the leadership of local schools as part of the execution of the order of the President of the Russian Federation on the voluntary study of national languages in the republics. The State Council of Tatarstan hopes that they will be able to “find a common language” with the federal center, however, experts believe that “the time for compromises over” and believe that the Tatar language will no longer be compulsory in schools, as happened with the Bashkir language in neighboring Bashkortostan” - wrote the newspaper "Kommersant".
Separately, I want to share sources about the Tatar language:
1. The encyclopedia of Tatarstan, which describes the policy of Russification, is very similar to the one I described for Ukraine.
https://tatarica.org/ru/razdely/istoriya/novejshee-vremya/zn...
2. Current situation, threats to the Tatar language in Tatarstan. https://ru.krymr.com/a/28794692.html
Separate material devoted to reforms and forced Russification in Russia.
https://cutt.ly/aKII1FU
For me personally - nothing unexpected and new - everything is according to long-established patterns. Russification policy is a multi-level strategy, from creating the impression of the prestige of using Russian through mass culture, to legislative initiatives that, de facto, give preference to the Russian language.
p.s. A graph that shows the number of children who took the Tatar language test over the past 5 years. After Moscow law pushed through, the result is deplorable.
https://t.me/nashaniva/49319
p.p.s. In social theory there is such a thing as "privilege", the distinguishing feature of which is that it is invisible to its owner. The same is with the Russian language in Russia.

Quote ( Atli Thor Johannesson @ June 25th 2022,19:25:03 ) Mostly because Russia attacked Ukraine.
Russia just needs to retreat to within its own borders and the world wont be a powder keg anymore. Well, Russia can say that too. Let NATO withdraw to its 1991 borders, and everything will be fine. But is it difficult for you to imagine such a thing? And it is difficult for Russia to imagine a retreat. That's how we live..

You're reading some research. But you can find fire-fighting items. You are looking for what you want to find. Of course you will find it. But you'd better ask the people who live. No need to read a lot and surf the Internet. Communicate with people directly.

Again you use incorrect analogies. NATO is not a country, but a collective security body. NATO cannot do this, because in this case it will leave to the mercy of fate many countries that do not want this. To be more precise, these countries are real part of NATO. They joined NATO just to protect themselves from Russia.
By 2022, Russia mistakenly felt that it could again claim the territory of the Warsaw Pact, but this is a deep delusion. It's just that Putin's time is running out and he went all in to enter the history of Russia as a winner and "gatherer of lands", but he will receive nothing but the nickname "di*khead".

This is not true. I turn to documents, in this case - the law of Russia, statistics and precedents in legal disputes.
"Talking to people" is a bad way to see the general picture - too small a sample is obtained. I understand that you do not like it, but Russia is an empire and it behaves like an empire, and I have provided evidence above.
In addition, talking with you prompted me to this little intelligence. Tomorrow, perhaps, I will write how your country destroyed dozens of peoples of Siberia. This is so that every time you, and people like you, mention the extermination of the Indians or bad europenan colonists, don't forget to look in the mirror.

I'm just trying to point out the flawedness of your position. A few days earlier, you justified Russia's expansionist policy by saying that Russia support to many cultures at home. Here is your quote:
Quote ( Konstantin Sobolev @ June 20th 2022,16:07:15 ) On the contrary, in Russia they contribute in every possible way to the development of the culture of all peoples. Children in Russian schools study literary works by authors of different nationalities - Chechens, Tatars and others.
It turns out - the opposite is true - in Russia, even the national republics themselves cannot teach their children their native language. And this exactly fits into the long-known story of "one people."
Dmitry mentioned several times (for no reason) that there are many nationalities in Russia, but this is not important, what is important is only their belonging to the "russian world". As a result, it turns out that this very "Russian world" is a fiction, because if Ukraine remembers itself that it is not part of this "world", then why not tomorrow Tatarstan (whose president was abolished by Putin) or any other republic will not do the same? Here it is - your worst nightmare.
Quote ( Konstantin Sobolev @ June 26th 2022,13:15:03 ) But it seems to me that there are more interesting and positive activities.
And what could be more fruitful than trying to understand own enemy?
Here's another example for you - an example of the Crimean Tatars, who are the indigenous people of Crimea. In 2014, there were 16 Crimean Tatar schools in Crimea, where education was conducted in their native language - before the occupation - all subjects of the school curriculum were studied in Crimean Tatar.
https://qirim.news/ru/novosti/v-krymu-ostalis-tolko-shkoly-d...
In 2021, there are formally seven such schools left, but in reality - none. Since education in them is conducted in Russian, and the Tatar language is taught only as a separate subject.
Russia come to a foreign land and immediately, first of all, you try to destroy the culture of the peoples who live there. The same awaits Ukrainians in the occupied lands. And that is why they resist so zealously, even while under occupation.

"Sanctions in our favor"))
In Russia, the share of bank customers who are confident in income stability is rapidly declining.
77% of borrowers from Russian banks do not guarantee that they will be able to continue servicing their loans.
This is evidenced by a survey of Kept, conducted in April - May. At the beginning of the year, this figure was twice lower.
The volume of loans for which the Russians have already stopped paying is growing. According to the Central Bank, in the first quarter of 2022 the amount of overdue loans for more than 90 days exceeded 1 trillion. руб.
High unemployment, wage arrears, unstable ruble exchange rates - all this affects the financial stability of Russians.
Therefore, soon the number of those who will not be able to pay on loans will only increase. This in turn destabilizes the entire banking and financial system of the Russian Federation.

After today's attack on a residential building in Kyiv - wounding a Russian citizen, kill her husband who covered the child with himself - Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznik called on the G7 countries to:
1. Tougher sanctions against Russia
2. The deployment of an air defense system, which, if necessary, can protect Europe as well.
3. Put forward the conditions for the normalization of relations in the future - the demilitarization of the European part of Russia. The depth of which must be established by experts.
p.s. When the denazification did not go according to plan and the nazis make demands their conditions. In fact, this irony is little consolation. All attention today is focused on Kyiv, but Kharkov suffered - no less - was bombed the hospital and the residential sector.

Russia Defaults on Foreign Debt for First Time Since 1918
(Bloomberg) -- Russia defaulted on its foreign-currency sovereign debt for the first time in a century, the culmination of ever-tougher Western sanctions that shut down payment routes to overseas creditors.
For months, the country found paths around the penalties imposed after the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine. But at the end of the day on Sunday, the grace period on about $100 million of snared interest payments due May 27 expired, a deadline considered an event of default if missed.

At a secret night meeting with Putin, they discussed the war with Lithuania, - Segodnya, citing sources among Russian journalists
It is reported that the Kremlin is seriously considering the issue of military action against Lithuania. Moreover, the alleged plan for this war was ready more than 30 years ago. To begin with, the Russian Federation will try to escalate the situation in Lithuania and will look at the reaction of NATO, but so far the decision has not been made, since the Russian Federation decided to wait a little longer - maybe America will convince Lithuania to abandon the blockade.
Note that yesterday Russian telegram channels hinted that something could happen in Lithuania.

The China Chamber of International Commerce published data on China's trade turnover for the period from January to April 2022:
with the countries of the Pacific
region — $275 billion.
with the EU - $258 billion.
with the USA - $232 billion.
with Korea — $114 billion.
with Russia — $51 billion.
** The indicator of trade relations with Russia, against the background of a total turnover with the main world partners of 875 billion, suggests that the Kremlin's dreams of comprehensive support for Beijing will remain just dreams.
China, unlike Russia, still has something to lose.

⚡️In Lithuania, they were prepared in advance for Russia's antics in connection with blocking the transit of sanctioned goods by rail to the Kaliningrad region, Lithuanian political scientist Vytis Yurkonis notes.
The expert connects the Russian threats with the desire of the Russian Federation to shift the focus from the war in Ukraine to discussing the security of the Baltic countries.
"It's not a matter of choice, but you need to understand that all the same, the main focus should be on the war in Ukraine and support there," the political scientist believes.

⚡️ The Russian Ministry of Defense believes that as a result of yesterday's strike on Kyiv, residential buildings were not damaged.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation issued a statement in which it acknowledged that the day before, the military had attacked Kyiv. At the same time, the department insists that the civilian infrastructure was not damaged as a result of the shelling.
According to the Ministry of Defense, "the strikes were carried out by four high-precision missiles on the shops of the Artyom Rocket-Building Corporation in Kyiv, where ammunition for MLRS was produced."
As always, Russia lives in a parallel reality - while lying to herself! All rockets hit residential buildings, a woman with Russian citizenship died!

Well, either it were accurate hits with high precision rockets,,,, Excellent accuracy, but a war crime.

So Russia strikes another civilian target, this time a busy shopping centre in Kremenchuk, killing at least 10 and injuring at least 40.
And now over to our Russian experts who will again claim that Russia is only attacking military targets and doing everything possible to minimise civilian casualties...
