In Moscow, a woman denounced her son for learning Ukrainian language
Details
In addition to the Ukrainian language, the woman was alarmed by her son's other hobbies, such as working out in a gym, studying the device of drones, and reading the Koran.
After spending a year in the Far East, the 24-year-old returned home with new hobbies that worried his mother. Previously he had not been interested in such things, but after his return he started working out in the gym, studying the devices of drones, shells, and mines, as well as reading the Koran, but the scariest thing was learning the Ukrainian language.
The mother tried to convince her son to give up these "hobbies", but to no avail. As a result, she turned to the police with a statement. The reaction of law enforcement agencies to this case is still unknown.
The level of whistleblowing in Russia is astounding. Earlier, a policeman came to Antonida Smolina from the Vologda region with a report of denunciation. The reason for the complaint was a photo of a woman in a yellow down jacket against the sky, which allegedly resembled the Ukrainian flag. In response to the accusations, Antonida wrote an explanatory note, where she pointed out that the color of the sky is a natural phenomenon and does not depend on her, and her income "does not allow her to change down jackets depending on public sentiment".

Although the tensions officially ended in 1992, its consequences continue to shape Moldovan politics, society, and security — especially in view of the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Finland is moving to withdraw from the Ottawa Convention, which bans anti-personnel mines. Prime Minister Petteri Orpo said the decision comes as a direct response to growing aggression from Russia.
The ruling Georgian Dream party has approved a set of controversial laws, including a “foreign agent” act aimed at NGOs and media. Critics say it mimics the U.S. FARA but is weaponized against dissent.

The Russian capital faced one of the largest terrorist attacks in its history. The terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall, which claimed the lives of many innocent people, was the second largest after the Beslan tragedy. But unlike previous attacks, this incident is shrouded in a layer of contradictory facts and ambiguities that point to possible miscalculations by the Russian security services
