लातविया की संसद ने विदेश मंत्री एदगर्स रिंकेरिच को देश का नया राष्ट्रपति चुना है. 49 साल के रिंकेरिच 2011 से देश के विदेश मंत्री थे. रूसी आक्रामकता के खिलाफ वह लंबे समय से यूक्रेन के समर्थक माने जाते हैं. #Latvia #LGBTQ 
रिंकेरिच के पूर्ववर्ती राष्ट्रपति एगिल्स लेवित्स ने दूसरे कार्यकाल के लिए ना खड़े होने का फैसला किया. इसलिए रिकेंरिच को नया राष्ट्रपति चुना गया. संसदीय मतदान के बाद उन्होंने कहा, "देश की संपन्नता और सुरक्षा के लिए मैं सबकुछ करूंगा." #EuropeanUnion
रिंकेरिच गे हैं. 2014 में विदेश मंत्री रहते हुए उन्होंने अपने समलैंगिक होने की बात सार्वजनिक की थी. ऐसा करने वाले वह लातविया के पहले बड़े नेता हैं. अब बतौर राष्ट्रपति उनके चुनाव से यूरोपीय संघ में पहली बार कोई जाहिर समलैंगिक राष्ट्राध्यक्ष बना है. #InclusionMatters

More very damaging losses for #Russia yesterday.

It's always been a problem for Moscow after sending most of its domestic protection to #Ukraine, only to have to bring some back as #Kyiv shows more ability to hit long range targets.

No big changes to report. #Wagner troops have advanced right into the centre, but it's constantly changing as the cattle get slaughtered and retreat.
Some #Russia channels claim #Khromove on the west of #Bakhmut is captured but not confirmed.

It continues to be reasonably quiet compared to the worst days of the war, but many people are still dying at the front on both sides.
#Russia continues to make ground, and according to Britain's military intelligence, will continue to do so, but without a major breaktthrough

2/ what is also very interesting is that if 15 other countries gives at least 20 SPH, then #Ukraine would "match" current firepower of Russia (in terms of this caliber/function) because you got to remember that basically a Caesar (or equivalent) needs about 3-6 shells to do what
3/ Russians can do using 2 systems & 30 shells at least.
so yep... really really good news here..
we just need a ton of ammo right now and much much more high précisions ones.

Where will those #Leopard come from? We won't get 100 of them, most probably just three groups from Poland, Finland and Germany for now. That's why we need the USA. #Ukraine️ #FreeTheLeopards #tanks
Finnish are realistic about the issue:
"On the other hand, no European country has taken much of a lead on the Leopard issue. Perhaps we will wait and see who will take the first step."

Russian forces targeted infrastructure in #Kyiv, #Odesa, #Vinnytsia, #Sumy, & #Zaporizhzhia. That same day, Ukrainian forces shot down 60 of 70+ Russian missiles. However, data suggests that Russia is not striking Ukraine w/ the same intensity as at the beginning of the invasion.
Earlier this week, several people were killed in explosions at two Russian military airfields. Russia accused Ukraine of using a drone to strike Russian targets hundreds of kilometers from the border. bbc.com/news/world-eur…
Having to explain to a Russian professor in Russia (about the Dozhd' skandal) that said professor doesn't have to use phrase 'our army', and that I would never say 'our army' about British or NATO troops. His incredulous response: 'Are you some kind of communist?' 😍😍😍
To be fair to him, we eventually got a a point where he realised he had started repeating a load of Putin tropes. "про армию и наших - это сидит на подсознании."
And then we had a fruitful discussion that reveals how hard it will be to grow true anti-war consensus because of the 'protective', for want of a better word, attitude towards the abstract institution of Russian armed forces.
🧵Fmr Ambassador to 🇺🇦@JohnEdHerbst to CNN: The #US needs to state clearly that Putin's war in #Ukraine is a direct challenge to our core interests; both US security & prosperity are at stake.

@JohnEdHerbst @NATO If Putin succeeds in #Ukraine, and moves on #Estonia or #Latvia, we'd be obliged to send American soldiers to fight and die to help our @NATO allies stop #Russia. So the cost to US in lives and money would be far greater than even the substantial aid we're sending to Ukraine. 2/8
@JohnEdHerbst @NATO Herbst: The money in weapons and aid we send to #Ukraine is a tiny fraction of what we'd have to pay if Ukraine doesn't stop #Russia there. That's why we should be doing everything possible to make sure Ukraine wins. 3/8
1) This is the cover of Good Will Hunting. Many people argue Robin William’s portrayal of a therapist in cinematic history [despite strangling and threatening the client in that famous scene]. Still, look at where Robin’s character did his best work: #Outdoors
2) This thread is about therapy outdoors as I was recently labelled as an “abuser”. I understand where this comes from my #research about survivors’ experiences in #WildernessTherapy. Good Will Hunting is not about Wilderness Therapy. They aren’t the same thing.
