Lange Zeit war #Estland das wirtschaftsstärkste Land des Baltikums. Doch nun ist es seit 2022 in einer Rezession. #Litauen dagegen erlebt ein Wachstum von 3,5 Prozent. Kann es Estland den Weg weisen? ▶️ eurotopics.net/de/325886

Thanks to the skill and persistence of @POTUS, @VP, and our allies, Paul Whelan, Evan Gershkovich, Alsu Kurmasheva, and Vladimir Kara-Murza are being released from Russian custody.

Honoured to be nominated as the candidate for High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. Your trust means a lot.
We must continue working together to ensure Europe is an effective global partner to keep our citizens free, safe and prosperous.

It is indeed hard to describe US approach to Israel and Ukraine as anything but double standards.
Apart from this moralizing notion, so often misused, the damage that the US is doing to its interests and power by failing Ukraine is growing by the day. Adversaries are watching.

🇪🇪 In #Estland ist eine Debatte um das kommunale Wahlrecht für die im Land lebenden Russen entbrannt.
Bei den russischen Präsidentschaftswahlen haben 75% der Wähler für Putin gestimmt, bei niedriger Beteiligung.
