#Poland accuses Russia of orchestrating arson attack on Warsaw shopping centre

“We now know for sure that the great #fire of the #Marywilska #ShoppingCentre in #Warsaw was caused by #arson ordered by the #Russian special services," Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said

Tusk said some perpetrators have been detained, adding that others have been identified by the authorities.

The fire broke out at the #shopping centre, located in an industrial area on Warsaw’s northern edge, on 12 May, 2024. It burned down 1,400 shops, many of which were run by the city's Vietnamese community.

Ukrainian sea drone downs Russian fighter jet in 'world-first' strike

A #Russian #Su-30 fighter jet was destroyed by a #SeaDrone strike carried out by Ukraine's military intelligence, marking the first time a sea drone takes down a jet, Ukraine's military intelligence said on May 3.

The intelligence agency, HUR, said the unprecedented operation took place on May 2 near the Russian port of #Novorossiysk in the #BlackSea and published the #video of the strike. The strike was carried out by Group 13, a special unit within HUR, using a Magura sea drone equipped with a #missile warhead.

'Peace’ for Russia is when there are no more Ukrainians left alive

Exactly three years ago, in early March 2022, satellite images showed the first mass grave of civilians in Bucha, a town in the Kyiv region. It was on the grounds of the Church of St Andrew, where now there is the Wall of Remembrance for the #civilians #killed by #RussianTroops during the occupation.

5 March 2022 — several days into the occupation — a family tried to evacuate.

"#Russian forces opened fire at them, at the entire #family, just like this, in the streets of #Bucha," Father Andriy recalled.

Today, someone on #Diaspora called me a troll. It was the second time that happened! And who were the kind people calling me #troll? Well, two kind supporters of #Russian mother land! Two #communists!

I have to thank the first Russian #propagandist because, after having had the first dialogue, I ended up reading some more information about #communism, which strengthened my anti- communism position and led me to discover #anarchism!

Today, this fellow, called me troll because I didn't agree with him and his propaganda discourse! He said that I had to prove everything I said. I don't have the time to write a treaty every time I say something. Nor do I want to bother myself with blindfolded communists!

He blocked me! Wow! Great argument!

It's interesting that all the sources they cite are good, but any that I mention isn't!

Well, I'll just say this here: it's an honour for me to be called a troll by #communists, #capitalists, #fascists, #racists, etc! They are all the same!

I'm just an #anarchist and I have dedicated my life to contribute for a better world, not for killing people!

It is too hot.

The temperature limit of Canadian firefighter hydroplanes is 38°C, and it was 45°C in #Greece where the #fire was nearing Athens. Only the #Russian BE-200 (with a 43°C limit) was able to work, and the crew risked safety flying little above the limit. Done more than 35 flights between 14:30 and 21:00, dropped more than 400 metric tonnes of water that day (a few days ago).
