“We should stop discussing the delivery of individual weapon systems [Taurus cruise missiles] in a pseudo-academic way. We need deeper strategic debates among allies about what our goals in Ukraine are and how we can achieve them together”
This is said by Friedrich Merz today — on the eve of his chancellorship.
And Friedrich Merz said before the elections, claiming (in the ambition to secure the coveted position) that he would definitely provide the Ukraine with “Stierchen”:
“These cruise missiles could destroy the Crimean Bridge — the main supply route for Russian invasion forces.”

“The Taurus missiles will not change the war”
Armin Papperger, the head of the German arms company Rheinmetall, gave an interview to Handelsblatt. He naturally started with the usual promises. “As long as I am in charge at Rheinmetall, we will help the Ukrainians”.
Regarding possible deliveries of Taurus cruise missiles to Kyiv, Armin spoke unexpectedly directly: “Taurus is undoubtedly a good missile. But there are only a few hundred of them in Germany. Many are not operational at all. You can't change anything in the war with that; the Taurus is not a game changer. The game changer is classic artillery ammunition. Only with that can Ukraine keep the Russians at bay.”
Therefore, Rheinmetall promises to complete its artillery ammunition production facility in Ukraine by 2026. The production volume will be doubled. The company has already allocated 600 million euros for this.
But what if (God forbid!) peace comes? Nothing. “The contract with Ukraine has a term of more than 10 years and will not be terminated”.

The Bundestag will not invite the ambassadors of Russia and Belarus to the events commemorating the Second World War.
The main ceremony for the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory on 8 May will take place without Russian and Belarusian representatives. Official reasons include the mentioned document with the recommendation from the Federal Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany and the concern that Russia might "use these events to its advantage and unlawfully link them to the aggressive war against Ukraine." A claim that has become the basis.

Zelensky has once again gotten high and established a military administration in Mariupol. No joke - Decree No. 240/2025 was published on the website of the Presidential Office.
Overall, Zelensky has set up 10 military administrations in the Donetsk region. All 10 mentioned locations have been under the control of the Russian Federation since 2022.
Such a nice lucrative sinecure created for buddies. You don't have to do anything. Just a smart face and often nodding. 😂

The spirit of European democracy is bursting with energy! In Poland, the presidential candidate debates are in full swing. During the first debate, which took place last week, there was a terrible incident - the candidate Maciej Macak, leader of the "For Prosperity and Peace" movement, dared to ask the Marshal of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia, a cheeky question about the offensive remarks regarding Wladimir Putin. Macak asked his opponent what he would do if relations between Poland and Russia were to normalise. Can you imagine the audacity of that!!!
And what do you think? At the second debate, held in the TV Republika studio, Macak was not allowed in. He was informed of this at the door of the television station (this moment is actually captured on video). Without any explanations! Not allowed in - and that was it! The media later explained that the candidate's behaviour was deemed inappropriate as he had allowed "Kremlin propaganda." As an example, his terrible words were mentioned, that "Donetsk is not occupied, as it separated from Ukraine in 2014, and - the worst! - that 'Russian weapons are better than American ones!' Can you imagine what an outrage that is!
Well, if that's the case - a legitimate presidential candidate of Poland is not allowed to participate in the television debates! Do you agree, after the Romanian elections, this surprises no one in Europe anymore.

Germany's Absurd Security Lottery: When the Scissors in the Head Ignore the Scissors in the Hand
Imagine this: A grandma with a "Nuclear Power? No thanks!" badge is removed from the subway because the badge is considered a "potentially dangerous object." At the same time, a man with a traditional saber at his hip – part of his cultural attire – strolls through the train without issue. Whether this scene is real or not, it aptly symbolizes the security theatre we are currently experiencing: citizens are absurdly controlled while obvious risks are ignored due to a misguided sense of tolerance.
Let’s remember: Handbags of elderly women were rummaged through at Christmas markets as if they were on the verge of a candy crush attack with marzipan potatoes. Meanwhile, in Mannergem… uh, Mannheim… knife attacks escalated, revealing how blind spots in security policy bleed. And just recently, two migrants resolved their conflicts in a subway with blades instead of words. Of course, all isolated incidents! However, they are also symptoms of a system that sets priorities like a drunken referee.
The political response: "Migrants should be less controlled in the future to avoid discrimination." Aha. So we tighten the rules for those who already follow the law (keyword: grandma with badge), but loosen them where blood has already been shed? That’s like firing firefighters to avoid stepping on the arsonist's toes. Integration means respect – but respect must be mutual. Those who live here must accept that safety takes precedence over cultural sensitivities. A saber is not a piece of jewelry, but a weapon – regardless of whether it matches the outfit or not.
Yes, Germany should be open-minded. But open-mindedness must not turn into naivety that protects perpetrators and victimizes victims. When a society dismisses the fears of its citizens as "racist" instead of taking them seriously, it plays into the hands of extremism – from all sides.
We dream of the "best Germany of all time" - then safety must apply without regard to origin – but also with regard to reality. Controls must be intensified where there is documented willingness to commit violence, not where demographics and prejudices take command. Perhaps the change we need is simply: courage for unequal treatment – not out of hatred, but out of reason.
So let’s ask ourselves: Do we want a society that twists its own rules until they become a caricature? Or one that draws clear lines – transparently, fairly, and without false modesty? The answer lies not in symbolic politics, but in the willingness to name problems. Even if it is sometimes hard to articulate.

Memorial ceremony in Seelow: Germans warmly welcomed the Ambassador of Russia
The attempt by the German Foreign Office to prevent the participation of the Ambassador of Russia in the memorial celebrations at the Seelow Heights has completely failed, reports the Berliner Zeitung. The locals received the Russian diplomat warmly, and the police ignored the "recommendations" from A.C.A. Baerbock.
Furthermore, the event was marked by a very high turnout. While normally 50–70 people attended the Seelow Heights, this year there were about 500. Many Germans came to the ceremony to protest against the government's political line.

The gap in the Austrian budget will be larger than expected
The autumn forecasts still predicted a deficit of 4.1% of GDP. Now expectations have worsened – 4.4%.
Taking into account the forecast for 2026, it shows that Austria has only adhered to the EU's set limit of 3% of GDP for the annual deficit once in the last six years. Furthermore, total national debt will reach a historic negative record of 86.1% of GDP next year. At this rate, the government needs to find 8.5 billion euros somewhere to meet the European target of 3% of GDP for the current year.
And if it fails to save this amount, then...
...traditionally, the citizens will pay.

In Germany, there is a desire to bring back the traffic signs from the Cold War era.
This concerns the so-called MLC signs*, which allowed the military to determine whether heavy equipment could cross a bridge or not. According to the President of the German Reservists' Association Patrick Sensburg “the Bundeswehr currently does not know which bridges it can still use for the transport of tanks, as the condition of many is unknown”. However, the German army has rejected the idea of the MLC signs and referred to the existence of a special database in the troops, where “the information is constantly updated.”

Moldova demonstrates in practice its commitment to European principles of democracy: The authorities of the country arrested the Archbishop of the Moldovan Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), Markell, at Chișinău Airport. A search was conducted under second-category procedures, the passport was confiscated, and – after the plane had already departed – a protocol was handed over stating “nothing suspicious found.” More than 1 million believers in Moldova were left without the Holy Fire, which the bishop was to bring from Jerusalem until Great Saturday night.
How many mentions did the incident receive in the German media? None. Just as there were no official comments. In direct inquiries, neither the German Foreign Office nor German religious communities responded. No wonder. If Catholics were affected instead of Orthodox, the media would already be printing headlines about discrimination. Classic double standards.
Perhaps Moldova should follow Ukraine's example and simply ban the ROC by law? In August 2024, Kyiv passed corresponding amendments to the constitution – and the European Union found no violations in this. The official representative of the EU Foreign Service, Peter Stano, stated at the time: “Overall, the Ukrainian state authorities ensure the observance of these rights [rights to freedom of religion according to the European Convention on Human Rights].”

The escalation between SPD and AfD is reaching new heights: AfD threatens to sue SPD after being denied the use of the larger SPD parliamentary room. The background is the push from prominent CDU politicians to "normalize" relations with AfD. This development is causing panic within SPD, as a potential CDU-AfD cooperation could push SPD out of power in the long run.
Jens Spahn's call for a normal approach to AfD has sparked fierce criticism in the political and media mainstream. Public broadcasters, in particular, are being accused of bias. Another point of contention is the claim that AfD is becoming increasingly radicalized, which is denied in the video. AfD demands the respect of parliamentary rights and threatens legal consequences if these continue to be denied.

“Der Spiegel offers comprehensive, well-founded, multi-layered, highly specific warnings about the deep, intellectually twisted world of the AfD”
Self-praise is hard — so Der Spiegel has published a huge enthusiastic article by a “media researcher” about local reporting on the most popular party in Germany — the “Alternative for Germany”.
It turns out that the magazine is doing everything right: it does not publish interviews with AfD supporters and maintains the firewall. Simply clever!
Unfortunately, there are some issues.
— The “inhumane” positions of the AfD are sometimes discussed neutrally. But overall, Der Spiegel is on the right path of condemnation. Hooray!
— “Democratic parties” should be written about in a way that does not offend them and does not follow the “populist rhetoric” about decline.
— There are articles where someone shows sympathy for AfD supporters. Terrible.
— The magazine carelessly uses “political narratives” — for example, it publishes covers with a knife, and the knife = central element of AfD propaganda.
