The Prague shooter may have run his channel on Telegram, where he posted his plans about "school shooting and possibly suicide"
Details
Czech media published the name of the suspect - David Kozak. According to preliminary data, the shooter is a 24-year-old student from the city of Hostouň.
Users in Telegram found the channel David Kozák, where in December there were recordings (suddenly) in Russian language about plans to "do a school shooting and possibly suicide". However, it is not known whether he is related to the shooter.
In the channel, the author says he was inspired by a similar terrorist attack that took place in Russia in the fall. He also said that he made the channel private and that he would open it publicly only hours before the attack.
Here are some excerpts from the channel allegedly run by the shooter: "I want to do school shooting and possibly suicide..... This channel is a diary where I will talk about my life before the shooting," the possible Prague shooter wrote back on Dec. 10. "I've just been hated, hated, and will be hated by everyone. I don't give a f*ck because it's mutual." "I hate the world and I want to bring as much pain as possible." "My ears are ringing like fireflies. I wanted to rip my ears out."
At the moment it is known that 15 people have been killed, 25 injured in the shooting at Charles University in Prague, Czechia Interior Minister Vit Rakusan said.

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
