Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
  10. Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

(This list may get expanded as necessary.)

Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

Ban lengths, etc.

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

"We have always been grateful to Poland. There must be no hostility between us," Zelensky said in an interview with Polish public media outlets on Friday, following his meetings with top officials in Warsaw.

“Russia very much wants the Polish-Ukrainian alliance to be destroyed," he told public broadcaster Polish Radio, state television TVP and state news agency PAP.

Zelensky was in the Polish capital for talks with President Karol Nawrocki and Prime Minister Donald Tusk, in what he described as a “very important” visit.

It was his first visit to Poland since Nawrocki took office in early August.

...

The Ukrainian leader welcomed a decision by European Union leaders this week to provide Ukraine with a EUR 90 billion loan for the next two years, partly backed by frozen Russian assets.

He said the move strengthens Ukraine’s position and morale at a critical stage of the war.

...

Poland's Tusk said on Friday that the funding gives Kyiv "stronger cards" and urged Europe to move further toward using frozen Russian assets.

Zelensky said holding Russia financially accountable is not only an economic issue, but also a moral and legal one.

"Russia must bear responsibility for all the evil it has brought to our land," he said, adding that the funds would eventually be used to rebuild Ukraine.

...

“Our shared history has tragic moments, but also many that unite us,” he said, arguing that Ukraine’s resistance has helped prevent Russian forces from threatening Poland’s borders.

Turning to Russia, Zelensky sharply criticised President Vladimir Putin after the Russian leader again denied responsibility for the war. Zelensky said Putin lies to justify the invasion to his own population and warned against taking his statements at face value.

“He said he would not occupy Crimea, and then he did. He said he would not start a full-scale war, and he did,” Zelensky said. “When he says today that he is not guilty, he is guilty 100 percent.”
