🇳🇱 NATO is working to secure a spot for President Zelensky at the upcoming summit in The Hague, says Dutch Defense Minister Brekelmans. While Zelensky likely won’t join the main meeting of 32 NATO leaders, NATO aims to find him a place during the two-day event. The US reportedly has reservations.

🇺🇦 MFA Sybiha: When the entire world calls for an end to the killing, Putin orders even more strikes, attacks, and murders of children. Full, unconditional, and durable ceasefire for any meaningful peace effort. The world must pressure Russia to accept it and put an end to the killings immediately.

😵‍💫 This is the Vitimsky Bridge, which connects Buryatia and the Transbaikal Territory of Russia. 💀 These two regions are among the leaders in the number of liquidated servicemen. ❗️No one from the authorities has started to build a new bridge, because money is allowed to be spent only on missiles.

AIS-playback from western Russian parts of Gulf of Finland, from the time of confiscated GREEN ADMIRES casting off til now. GPS-spoofing apparent and non-discriminatory. It is with this position-chaos tanker captains are expected to avoid RU waters and navigate much trickier Estonian waters.

Later this week, another tanker is expected to transit Estonian waters en route to Russia. The LPG tanker FALCON is showing Cameroon as its flag via AIS — but S&P global confirms it has no valid registration.
