Trump signs a law allowing new sanctions against Russia but has shown little inclination to impose them. His “solution” so far to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has largely been to side with Putin. trib.al/je4JGhq

Russia’s next president could be Putin’s former bodyguard, the son of an ex-FSB chief, or the man who once made Putin FSB director.
Putin has never named a successor in 26 years.
The Washington Post names 7 men who could replace him. 1/

🇷🇺🇪🇺 The situation around the Baltic region is becoming increasingly tense; an escalation is possible.
Belarus has begun a four day military drill near the Suwalki Corridor (along the borders of Poland and Lithuania).
The drills include mechanized and tank battalions.
Over the past week, Russia has increased the number of beds reserved for military casualties in hospitals in the northwest regions–including Leningrad–by 20,000.
Per Polskie Radio, Lithuania is preparing mass evacuation plans for its civilian population at the request of its government.
Several European leaders and governments have issued alarmist statements in the past 24 hours, hinting at a serious possibility of an escalation in Eastern Europe.
Even Switzerland released an announcement.
Putin stated today that he does not want war with Europe and wants cooperation, but if the situation continues (drone attacks on Moscow), Russia will have to respond.

“If international law is disregarded whenever the interests of major powers dictate, one can no longer speak of the rule of law.
If human rights are an inherent right for some nations and a conditional privilege for others, they can no longer be called universal.”
