Lithuania's Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys joins Cipher Brief CEO Suzanne Kelly in Washington with a blunt warning: Western military restraint is encouraging, not deterring, the Kremlin. Budrys explains why Lithuania is raising defense spending to more than 5% of GDP by 2026—the highest in the democratic world—and pushing NATO toward offensive deterrence and denial "from the very first inch." He details Belarus' role as a state-enabled criminal actor, from weaponized migration to smuggling operations using high-altitude balloons that forced Lithuania to shut down its main international airport, and why Minsk deserves tougher sanctions. Budrys also walks through recent Russian gray-zone activity in the Baltic Sea and NATO airspace, arguing that only stronger posture—not de-escalation—has stopped undersea infrastructure attacks and drone incursions. The Minister lays out what a potential Ukraine ceasefire would mean for the Baltics, why Vilnius is committing 0.25% of GDP annually to Ukraine's security for ten years, and how Russian forces redeployed from Ukraine could reshape the threat on NATO's eastern flank. He also highlights Lithuania's energy break from Moscow—now sourcing 75% of its LNG from the U.S.—and its push for tougher economic security policies toward China as it prepares to hold the EU presidency in 2027. A candid, front-line view of deterrence, gray-zone warfare, and the future of the transatlantic alliance.

Paul Gregory recounts how his father, Pete Gregory, first met Lee Harvey Oswald in June 1962 after being contacted by the Texas Employment Office. Oswald, recently returned from three years in Minsk, sought work utilizing his Russian language skills. Pete, a fluent Russian speaker, tested Lee and, finding his Russian fluent but grammatically poor, wrote a letter supporting him. Later, Paul met Lee and Marina and proposed taking Russian lessons from Marina to practice with a native speaker. The Oswalds were very poor, living off Lee's tight $56 weekly earnings. Marina eventually earned $35 for the lessons, which she considered a fantastically large amount of money. Guest: Paul Gregory.

Užsienio reikalų ministras Kęstutis Budrys sako, kad Lietuva nesiderės su Baltarusija dėl ten įstrigusių maždaug tūkstančio vilkikų.

Situacija dėl Baltarusijoje įstrigusių lietuviškų vilkikų tik aštrėja. Jie siunčiami į specialias aikšteles, o už tai teks brangiai susimokėti. Kelias į Lietuvą vilkikams yra užkirstas iš Baltarusijos pusės. Lietuva vėl žada kreiptis į Baltarusijos tarnybas, o jei situacija nepasikeis, užsimenama apie papildomas sankcijas baltarusiškoms prekėms.

Vor wenigen Tagen fand in Minsk die hochkarätig besetzte internationale Konferenz für eurasische Sicherheit statt. Oberstleutnant im Generalstab a. D. der Schweizer Armee Ralph Bosshard fasst die Erkenntnisse zusammen. In mehreren deutschen Bundesländern werden wegen der Vogelgrippe erneut Tausende Hühner gekeult. Ob das berechtigt ist, bewertet Geflügelzüchter Christoph Schulz. In Sachsen haben CDU, SPD und BSW gemeinsam mit der AfD eine bemerkenswerte Entscheidung getroffen, wie Journalist Olaf Opitz berichtet. In seinem Kommentar blickt Burkhard Müller-Ullrich auf die deutsche Erinnerungskultur, der mittels künstlicher Intelligenz nun ein „Gesicht für die Ewigkeit“ gegeben wird.

Chronicles the encounter of one of the largest Jewish communities in the world with war, revolution, and Soviet power from 1917 through 1930 At the beginning of the twentieth century, more Jews lived in the Russian Empire than anywhere else in the world. After the Holocaust, the USSR remained one of the world's three key centers of Jewish population, along with the United States and Israel. Yet while a great deal is known about the history and experiences of the Jewish people in the US and in Israel in the twentieth century, much less is known about the experiences of Soviet Jews. Jews in the Soviet Union, a new multi-volume history, is an unprecedented undertaking. This groundbreaking work draws on rare access to documents from the Soviet archives, allowing for the presentation of a sweeping history of Jewish life in the Soviet Union from 1917 through the early 1990s.

Leto 1944. nije donelo samo Normandiju. Na Istočnom frontu odigravala se ofanziva kakvu svet do tada nije video. Front se raspadao, gradovi su padali. U Belorusiji je pukla kičma Vermahta. Pod velom maskirovke, sovjetske armije udaraju istovremeno na Vitebsk, Oršu, Mogiljev i Bobrujsk; kolone se rasipaju, komandne veze nestaju, a grupa armija Centar prestaje da postoji brže nego što je ikada sanjala nemačka komanda. U samo nekoliko nedelja pada Minsk, front se pomera stotinama kilometara, a „nepobediva” mašina Trećeg rajha pretvara se u improvizovani haos i povlačenje bez plana. Kumovi Nikola Đukić i Nikola Šipka vode nas kroz anatomiju ove ofanzive: kako je sovjetska obmana zaslepela nemačku obaveštajnu službu; zašto su naređenja „držati liniju” i "nema povlačenja" bila presuda, a ne strategija; šta su uradili Rokosovski, Žukov i komandanti frontova da preseku nemačku odbranu po dubini; zašto je oslobađanje Minska označilo tačku bez povratka za Rajh. I kako je operacija Bagration postala najveći nemački poraz u Drugom svetskom ratu i stvarni početak kraja?

2. The Colossal Misjudgment: Underestimating Ukraine and Putin's Imperial Ambitions. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) covers the lead-up to the 2022 full-scale invasion, noting Russia's military buildup in 2021 while President Biden publicly stated that no US troops or weapons would be sent to Ukraine, which constituted a "colossal misjudgment of Putin." Despite the lack of meaningful preparatory military aid for Ukraine, US intelligence performed exceptionally well, accurately predicting the timing of the war and releasing this intelligence in real time, hoping to "shame" Putin. The expectation that Kyiv would fall within days reflected a profound misjudgment: underestimating the resolve of the Ukrainian state and people, and overestimating the Russian military's capacity. To justify his actions, Putin built an argument to the Russian people based on a "misreading of history," reviving 19th-century Russian imperial ideas that claimed Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians constituted a single whole. This false belief led to the expectation that Ukrainians would welcome Russian troops with flowers, rather than weapons. Putin's consistent goal since 2014 was to stop Ukraine's Western trajectory and integrate it into the Russian-controlled Eurasian Union. When President Zelensky refused Putin's demands regarding the implementation of the Minsk agreements in Paris in December 2019, many observers mark this moment as the countdown to the 2022 invasion.

3. US Intelligence Successes vs. Policy Failures Leading to the 2022 Invasion. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) details the period leading to the February 2022 invasion, where Russia positioned troops along the border, while the Biden administration publicly ruled out sending US troops or weapons to Ukraine. This policy is identified as a "colossal misjudgment" of Putin. Although US intelligence successfully reported Kremlin war plans almost in real time, hoping to deter Putin, little was done to militarily strengthen Ukraine. The prevailing Western assessment—that Kyiv would fall quickly and Ukraine would be overrun within a week—was based on a massive miscalculation that underestimated the Ukrainian military and people's resolve. Vladimir Putin framed the war using historical claims, stating that Russians and Ukrainians are "one people." This belief, rooted in 19th-century Russian imperial ideas, led to the flawed expectation that 150,000 to 200,000 troops would be sufficient and that Ukrainians would welcome them. Putin's central aim, consistent since the 2014 war, remains stopping Ukraine's Western drift and forcing it into the Russian-controlled Eurasian Union. The countdown to the current war began after President Zelensky, who was an unlikely war leader elected in 2019, refused to implement the Minsk agreements according to Putin's destabilizing agenda during their meeting in Paris in December 2019.

5. Western Appeasement of 2014: Crimea Annexation and the Flawed Minsk Accords. Serhii Plokhy (Professor of Ukrainian History at Harvard University) examines the Western reaction to the annexation of Crimea in February 2014, following the appearance of "little green men." Professor Plokhy asserts that had the West reacted to the Crimean annexation with the same severity as they did to the 2022 invasion, the major war might have been avoided. Instead, the collective West treated Crimea as an isolated exception, drawing a historical parallel to the 1930s Anschluss of Austria, and mistakenly believed that Putin would stop there. This flawed assumption led Germany to pursue economic ties like Nord Stream 2, hoping escalation would be less likely. Moreover, NATO's policy was to pacify Russia by not placing military units close to its borders, leaving the alliance with "very little to respond with" in 2014. Although the annexation was quickly followed by Russian-concocted violence in Donbas, leading to a massive Russian counterattack in summer 2014, the West pursued the Minsk II agreements. These agreements were often implemented according to Russia's interpretation: requiring elections first under Russian military control, intended to create a "Trojan horse" to destabilize Ukraine and preclude its movement toward the EU or NATO. This approach was closely related to the "policies of appeasement of the 1930s." 1840 KHIV

Mens Europa opruster og isolerer Rusland og Belarus, har den amerikanske præsident Trump en anden tilgang. Den amerikanske administration ser den belarusiske præsident Aleksandr Lukasjenko som en Putin-hvisker, der kan påvirke Rusland. Det har åbnet for nye diplomatiske bånd mellem USA og Belarus, som bl.a. har betydet, at den tidligere oppositionspolitiker Sergei Tikhanovskij er blevet løsladt efter fem års fængsel og amerikanske sanktioner mod det belarusiske flyselskab Belavia er lettet. Vi taler om Belarus og USA med Belarus-kenderen Jonathan Schacht Halling Nielsen og Matias Seidelin, som er forsvars- og sikkerhedspolitisk seniorkorrespondent på OLFI.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of War & Peace, Olga and Elissa speak with Valery Kavaleuski, former Belarusian diplomat and Executive Director of the Euro-Atlantic Affairs Agency, about Minsk's evolving foreign policy and how it is constrained by enduring Russian influence. They discuss the joint Russian-Belarusian military exercise Zapad 2025, which took place just after 19 Russian drones crossed into Poland, heightening tensions between NATO and Moscow. They unpack Belarus' continued participation in the Vienna Document, its recent engagement with Washington, which seems to have led to prisoner releases in exchange for sanctions relief, and whether the EU and its members should adopt a more pragmatic approach when engaging with Minsk. They also look at the future of Belarus' domestic politics, the prospects for dialogue between the opposition and the Lukashenka government, and what a post-Lukashenka Belarus might look like.This episode was made possible through extra-budgetary funding from the OSCE.

Bienvenidos a nuestro último capítulo de la serie. Hoy vamos a adentrarnos en uno de los conflictos más determinantes de nuestro tiempo: la guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. Estos dos pueblos comparten una historia en común, desde la Rus de Kiev y el Imperio Ruso hasta la Unión Soviética y su disolución en 1991. Vamos a recorrer cómo esa historia común se convirtió en ruptura, cuáles son las posiciones y argumentos de cada bando, y cómo esta guerra no sólo redefine a Europa del Este, sino también a la Unión Europea, la OTAN y, en general, al mundo entero en un momento de multipolaridad. Porque lo que ocurre en el Donbás y en cualquier escenario de este conflicto influye en la economía global, la energía, la alimentación y el futuro de la geopolítica planetaria.

Toreiz uzzinājām, ka Minskā bija ieradies īpašais ASV sūtnis Kīts Kellogs. Šī vizīte nebija iepriekš izziņota, tāpēc daudziem notikušais bija liels pārsteigums. Pagājušajā nedēļā sekoja turpinājums. Līdzīgi kā iepriekšējā reizē, nereklamēti Minskā atkal ieradās ASV īpašs sūtnis, šoreiz Kelloga vietnieks Džons Kols. Sabiedrība par vizīti uzzināja tikai pēc tam, kad nākamajā dienā, 11. septembrī, no cietuma tika atbrīvoti 52 politieslodzītie, kas gandrīz visi ieradās Lietuvā. Viens no atbrīvotajiem – disidents Mikola Statkevičs – atteicās pamest valsti, un nu jau viņš ir atkal apcietināts un atrodas Baltkrievijas cietumā. Pārējie ir deportēti, arī šoreiz starp atbrīvotajiem ir divi Latvijas valstspiederīgie. Kola sarunas ar Lukašenko esot ilgušas piecas stundas. Visas detaļas mēs nezinām, tomēr šoreiz atbrīvošana no cietuma nav notikusi tāpat vien. Piektdien, 12. septembrī, ASV paziņoja, ka tiek atceltas visa veida noteiktās sankcijas Baltkrievijas nacionālajai lidsabiedrībai „Belavia”. Šīs sankcijas tika noteiktas vēl pirms Krievijas iebrukuma Ukrainā, kad 2021. gadā Minskā ar viltu piespieda nolaisties „Ryanair” lidmašīnu, kas bija ceļā no Atēnām uz Viļņu. Toreiz Baltkrievija praktiski to nolaupīja, lai varētu arestēt opozīcijas blogeri Ramanu Prataseviču. Tagad Amerikas puse toreiz noteiktās sankcijas ir atcelusi. Tāpat ASV delegācija paziņoja, ka atkal atvērs vēstniecību Minskā. Tas nozīmē, ka Savienoto Valstu un Baltkrievijas attiecībās ir noticis pavērsiens, un ledus, kas bija izveidojies jau vairāku gadu garumā, ir atkal salauzts. Kērka slepkavības atskaņas 10. septembra vakarā Savienotās Valstis pāršalca ziņa, ka Jūtas štatā vietējā universitātē ir sašauts kārtējais politiķis, šoreiz ASV prezidenta Donalda Trampa sabiedrotais, konservatīvais influenceris Čārlijs Kērks. Drīz vien uzzinājām, ka no gūtajiem ievainojumiem Kērks ir miris. Politiskās slepkavības Savienotajās Valstīs nav nekas jauns. Tomēr šoreiz slepkavība ir izraisījusi plašāku rezonansi nekā parasti. Visā valstī tika izsludinātas nacionālās sēras, un Tramps lika nolaist ASV karogus pusmastā līdz pat nedēļas beigām. 31 gadu vecais Kērks bija konservatīvo republikāņu jaunākās paaudzes pārstāvis, kuram bija miljoniem sekotāju sociālajos medijos. Kērks apmeklēja ASV universitātes, aicinot studentus debatēt ar viņu un pārraidot šīs debates soctīklos. Uz tām bieži tika uzaicināti studenti, kas bija Kērka viedokļu pretinieki. Zīmīgi, ka slepkavība notika vienā no tikšanās reizēm, kad Kērkam jautāja par viņa attieksmi pret biežajām publiskajām apšaudēm. Kērks jau iepriekš bija daudzkārt aktīvi iestājies par amerikāņu tiesībām nēsāt šaujamieročus, sakot, ka zaudētas dzīvības reizēm ir neizbēgams upuris, kas jāmaksā par šādu brīvību. Kērka slepkavam izdevās aizbēgt, un pirmajās dienās izvērtās visdažādākās spekulācijas, kas aiz šīs slepkavības stāv. Tāpēc tad, kad slepkavu izdevās aizturēt, pārsteigums bija liels. Izrādījās, ka tas ir 22 gadus vecais Tailers Robinsons, kurš pats nāk no konservatīvas vides. Noslepkavotā Čārlija Kērka ļoti aktīvā publiskā darbošanās ir tā, kas šoreiz ir raisījusi tik plašu rezonansi. Turklāt šoreiz tā ir izpletusies krietni pāri Amerikas robežām. Kērks bija aktīvs ne tikai politikā, bet arī kristīgajā vidē. Arī Latvijā daudzi konservatīvie kristieši viņu ir pasludinājuši par ticības mocekli. Tajā pašā laikā Kērka politiskie uzskati bija ļoti strīdīgi. Viņš bieži izteicās kritiski par Ukrainu, un analītiķi saka, ka viņa retorika šajā ziņā bija piesātināta ar Krievijas propagandu. Austrumu sardze Piektdienas vakarā NATO ģenerālsekretārs Marks Rute paziņoja par jaunu NATO misiju „Austrumu sardze”, lai nodrošinātu drošību Polijā un Baltijas valstīs. Misija ir atbilde Krievijas dronu incidentam Polijas gaisa telpā 10. septembrī. Lai gan oficiāli alianse to neuzskata par tīšu uzbrukumu, tomēr ar šo misiju cer nodrošināt reģiona drošību un atturēt kremli no tālākām provokācijām. Pašlaik misijā iesaistījušās četras valstis – Dānija, Vācija, Francija un Lielbritānija, kas katra nodrošinājusi vairākus iznīcinātājus, kuri veiks pretgaisa aizsardzības misijas. Informācija par konkrētiem misijas plāniem gan netiek izpausta, tomēr Latvijas amatpersonas pieļāvušas, ka šī varētu kļūt par patstāvīgu misiju NATO Austrumu flangā. Paralēli publiski parādās runas, ka NATO varētu aizsargāt Ukrainas rietumu gaisa telpu. Ukraina jau kopš kara pirmajām dienām ir lūgusi NATO sargāt tās debesis.

On today's Strategy Series program, sponsored by General Atomic Aeronautical Systems, Sam Bendett of the Center for Naval Analyses and Dr. Eugene Rumer, the director of the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, join Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss details of Russia's drone attacks on Poland, Romania and Moldova — the first and largest such attack against the alliance; how the alliance can respond given President Trump's conditioning of US support on all alliance members agreeing to halting energy purchases from Russia and imposing penalties on China; the changing nature of Russia's ever larger attacks on Ukraine; the joint Russian-Belorussian Zapad 2025 exercises and how Moscow and Minsk are working to improve capabilities; whether the exercise is cover for potential future action against NATO given how Russia used past Zapad exercises to pre-position forces and equipment for the 2022 attack on Ukraine; the implications of US military observers at Zapad; and whether Washington's engagement with Minsk will change Belarus' alignment with Russia.

In this provocative Flashback Friday episode of The Radio Vagabond, I travel to Belarus – often called “Europe's last dictatorship” – to uncover the lived reality of life under Alexander Lukashenko. As I meet locals and explore Minsk, I ask a bold question: are there bright sides to this autocratic system? Some people credit the regime with preserving economic stability post-USSR, keeping unemployment low and averting the oligarchic chaos seen elsewhere. They say limited online freedoms – like the ability to access opposition sites – create an illusion of choice. But the darker truth sits just beneath the surface. Lukashenko's heavy censorship, the criminalization of dissent – even for wearing “wrong” socks – and the ongoing use of capital punishment paint a grim picture. This episode digs into these contradictions. I speak with people benefiting from economic predictability, then confront the chilling reality of repression and human rights abuses. It's a travel story that challenges assumptions – and raises uncomfortable questions.

In this episode of The Power Vertical Podcast, host Brian Whitmore speaks with David Kramer, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, and Serhiy Kudelia, Associate Professor of Political Science at Baylor University, about the high-stakes Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. With the meeting unfolding as the episode was recorded, they analyze the possible scenarios—from capitulation to a Minsk 3-style ceasefire to the status quo—and explore how each could impact Ukraine, Europe, and U.S.-Russia relations. They also examine the broader strategic goals at play, the political signals from Washington, and what history might teach us about moments like this.

На фоне пагаршэння сітуацыі з міграцыйным заканадаўствам у шэрагу краін Еўрасаюза і ЗША рашэнне Германіі прыпыніць выдачу гуманітарных віз выглядае не больш, чым непрыемным момантам. Але насамрэч ён можа мець непрыемныя, а часам і катастрафічныя наступствы для беларусаў, якія шукаюць магчымасці выехаць з краіны з-за пераследу. Але насуперак усім гэтым пагаршэнням беларусы не апускаюць рукі і працягваюць рабіць сваю беларускую справу: праз прасоўванне нашых інтарэсаў, праз культурніцкую дыпламатыю. Што стала нагодай для такога рашэння ўладаў Германіі наконт гумвіз і якіх “сюрпрызаў” чакаць далей? Як за пяць гадоў у эміграцыі змяніўся стан культуры і культурніцкага менеджэменту і ці ёсць чым хваліцца? Ці адбудзецца сёлета на мюнхеншчыне ІV беларуска-нямецкі фэстываль культуры Minsk x Minga і з якой праграмай? На гэтыя ды іншыя пытанні ў эфіры Еўрарадыё адказвае сяброўка Пашыранай рады беларускага аб'яднання ў Германіі Razam, каардынатарка фестывалю Minsk x Minga, супрацоўніца Універсітэту Пасаў (The University of Passau) Хрысціна Дарапей

Note aux auditrices et auditeurs : cet épisode a été diffusé une première fois le 9 avril.La prison ou l'exil. C'est le sort réservé aux acteurs de la scène musicale underground au Bélarus, s'ils se risquent à des paroles ou des actes trop contestataires.Depuis 2020 et la répression de manifestations inédites contre le pouvoir de l'autocrate Alexandre Loukachenko, aucune opposition n'est tolérée dans le pays.De nombreux musiciens ont été pourchassés pour leur soutien au soulèvement populaire ou leur opposition à l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie.Après la fuite massive des cerveaux créatifs, ceux qui restent au Bélarus tentent aujourd'hui de recoller les morceaux de la scène underground et d'offrir un exutoire à l'expression culturelle.Sur le Fil a pu assister à l'un de ces concerts à Minsk, avec sur le terrain, Thomas O'Callaghan et Robin Bjalon.Avec l'éclairage de Yauheni Kryzhanouski, enseignant chercheur à Sciences po Strasbourg et auteur de "Contester par la musique sous régime autoritaire : la politisation du rock au Bélarus" (Editions du Croquant, 2022).Réalisation : Madeleine de Blic.Présentation : Emmanuelle BaillonExtraits de reportages AFPTVDoublages: Manon Hilaire, Elouan BlatExtraits musicaux :Lavon Volski - Героям слава!Группа "Сузорье" - Сентябрьская рекаSur le Fil est le podcast quotidien de l'AFP.

Il y a cinq ans, les Biélorusses votaient pour élire leur président. Une élection une nouvelle fois marquée par une fraude massive qui a permis la réélection d'Alexandre Loukachenko, au pouvoir depuis 1994. Mais en 2020, à la différence des autres années, les Biélorusses sont descendus en masse dans les rues pour protester. Des manifestations qui ont été réprimées dans le sang. Cinq ans après, les persécutions se poursuivent. Près de 1 200 prisonniers politiques sont en prison et 500 000 Biélorusses ont quitté leur pays pour fuir la répression. Ils se sont surtout installés en Pologne et en Lituanie. De notre correspondante à Vilnius, Quand il sirote son cappuccino dans un café de Vilnius, rien ne distingue Yauhen des autres jeunes Lituaniens, tatoués et habillés à la mode comme lui. Tout les sépare pourtant. Le Biélorusse est réfugié en Lituanie. « J'ai l'impression d'être parfois dans un monde parallèle où la Biélorussie n'a jamais été une dictature. D'un côté, quitter le pays a été une très bonne décision, d'un autre, je rêve souvent de retourner dans mon pays », confie-t-il. Il est arrivé en Lituanie le 4 novembre 2020, après avoir été expulsé de l'université à Minsk. Il s'est fait tatouer le tampon d'entrée sur le territoire sur son bras. Comme la plupart des 51 000 Biélorusses arrivés dans ce pays depuis cinq ans, il n'a pas choisi ce déracinement. Même s'il parle lituanien, il est content de trouver des endroits où échanger en biélorusse. « Tous les trois-quatre mois, des espaces apparaissent où les Biélorusses peuvent se retrouver. Il y a un restaurant biélorusse, Karczma, un magasin de souvenirs biélorusses qui organisent aussi des rencontres, des événements », énumère-t-il. Victoria Federova dirige l'ONG Legal Initiative. Elle documente les cas de torture dans les prisons biélorusses et verse ces preuves aux enquêtes ouvertes contre le régime de Minsk en Lituanie. Le quotidien peut être parfois compliqué. « Nos pièces d'identité vont bientôt expirer et par exemple, on ne sait pas comment faire pour les renouveler. Désormais, c'est interdit de le faire dans les ambassades », regrette-t-elle. Les services de renseignement lituaniens avertissent depuis quelques mois de la campagne active de recrutement du KGB biélorusse en Lituanie. « ​​​​​​​J'ai appris aujourd'hui que le comité biélorusse d'investigation avait ouvert des enquêtes criminelles contre des personnes qui avaient manifesté à l'étranger contre le régime. Ils peuvent nous juger par contumace et confisquer nos biens en Biélorussie », explique Victoria Federova, qui se méfie lorsqu'elle se rend à des manifestations.  Le poète Tsikhan Czarnikiewicz a recréé l'union des écrivains biélorusses à Vilnius, après que l'association a été fermée du jour au lendemain durant l'été 2021. Pour lui, promouvoir la culture est un acte de résistance : « On organise ici des événements littéraires, des festivals et on essaye d'inviter des auteurs de Biélorussie. Il y a si peu d'occasions aujourd'hui en Biélorussie pour les écrivains, les musiciens, les acteurs. » Quand on sort de Vilnius, les panneaux indiquent la direction de Minsk ou Grodno, deux grandes villes biélorusses toutes proches. Mais pour de nombreux émigrés, traverser la frontière signifierait être directement envoyé en prison.  À lire aussiVilnius reçoit la Marche des fiertés des pays baltes, dans une Lituanie accusée «de retard au sein de l'UE»

We are Different Parashat Balak tells of how Balak, the king of Moab, summoned Bilam and hired him to place a curse on Beneh Yisrael so they would be annihilated. The plan backfired, as G-d repeatedly forced Balak to bless Beneh Yisrael, instead. Bilam began his first blessing by noting that Balak brought him from his homeland, Aram, for the purpose of cursing Beneh Yisrael (23:7). We must ask, why is this detail important? Of what significance is it that Bilam was brought to Moab specifically from the region of Aram? A deep answer to this question was suggested by Rav David Tevel of Minsk (1794-1861), in his work Nahalat David. He explains that Balak's scheme was not at all rash or haphazard; it was very carefully devised and crafted. Balak explored the origins of this nation – Beneh Yisrael – by whom he felt so threatened, and he discovered that they originated from Aram Naharayim. It was there where Abraham Abinu was raised, and from where the family later journeyed toward the Land of Israel. Balak figured that his best chance to destroy Am Yisrael would be by finding someone with the same origins, another person from Aram. As we know, the greatest pain that can inflicted upon someone is from somebody close to him. (Thus, for example, an insult from an immediate family member hurts far more than an insult from somebody who is not part of the family. And an insult from a community member hurts far more than an insult from a total stranger.) Balak thought that if he could bring somebody from Aram to oppose and inflict harm upon Beneh Yisrael, this would be their undoing. His strategy was to bring someone from Aram, an "insider," who could bring Beneh Yisrael down. However, the Nahalat David explains, Balak made a grave mistake. He did not realize that although Abraham indeed grew up in Aram, he had since been completely detached from his background. When G-d first spoke to Abraham, He commanded him to leave his country, his birthplace, and his father's home (Bereshit 12:1) – referring to not simply geographical relocation, but to complete dissociation from his past. Abraham's move to Eretz Yisrael constituted a clean break from his family background, the start of something completely new. The Nahalat David explains that this is why Abraham and Sara were naturally unable to beget children, and they produced a child through a miracle. The establishment of Am Yisrael marked the creation of an entirely new line, with no biological connection to Abraham and Sara's family background. This is also why Abraham and Sara's names were changed – from Abram to Abraham, and from Sarai to Sara – to indicate that they underwent a fundamental transformation and rebirths. Indeed, Bilam pronounces in his first blessing, "For from the top of rocks I see them, and I look upon them from the hills" (23:9). Rashi writes that this refers to the Abot (patriarchs) and Imahot (matriarchs). Bilam was saying that Beneh Yisrael are rooted in greatness, stemming from their sacred, righteous ancestors, and thus cannot be cursed. The Nahalat David explains that Bilam was observing that Beneh Yisrael's roots extend no further than the Abot and Imahot. They do not trace their lineage back to Abraham's parents and forebears – because they are a fundamentally new and distinct entity, bearing no connection at all to Abraham's origins in Aram. As the verse continues, "Hen Am Le'badad Yishkon U'ba'goyim Lo Yit'hashab" – "Behold, they are a nation that dwells alone, and is not reckoned among the other nations." The "genes" of Aram, so-to-speak, never made it to Avraham Avinu's descendants. They have no attachment to any other people, and so Balak's plan was doomed to fail already from the outset. The Jewish People are different, and we are meant to be different. Beliefs, values and lifestyles that are accepted and popular among other nations are not necessarily acceptable to us. The things that the surrounding society prioritizes and celebrates are not necessarily for us to prioritize or celebrate. We must always live with a sense of "Am Le'badad Yishkon" – that we dwell alone, with our own traditions, our own beliefs, and our own way of life.

Edition No175 | 01-07-2025 - This is an episode based on Putin's recent speech -perhaps the most perverse and rambling one he has ever made. After listening to it, we must ask – has Vladimir Putin lost the plot? Following the EAEU summit in Minsk, Vladimir Putin answered questions from Russian journalists on June 27, 2025. This was perhaps the least consequential set of ramblings he's made to date, yet the speech is of great consequence. Because it seems that his brain is now totally dominated by a mixture of resentment, lies and delusions. As Vlad Vexler has insight-fully pointed out in a recent video, Putin seemed not to be addressing the world in his responses, nor an internal audience, nor the so-called Russian elite. Rather, this sounded like an internal monologue, unfiltered and unvarnished. It was also deeply unhinged. ----------"They'll Die Themselves Soon” Putin said of Europe. Is this because he is trying hard to bring this about, or he fervently believes it will happen? A kind of ‘inevitable' historical mythology, something like Marxism? Putin's speech was part war cry, part peace overture, and entirely delusional. Putin once again took to the stage — not to chart a path to peace, but to perform a geopolitical pantomime: a speech to no one in particular, the world, his own people? It contained within it two rhetorical tricks. Yes, Putin is more than a one trick donkey. The first, menace, the other, misdirection.----------DESCRIPTIONPutin's Delusional Speech and Global Reactions: Analysis and ImplicationsIn this episode, we delve into Vladimir Putin's recent speech at the EAEU summit in Minsk on June 27th, 2025. The speech, marked by delusional claims and unfiltered rhetoric, raises questions about Putin's state of mind and strategic intentions. We analyze his assertions about Russia's position in the Ukraine war, his dismissive remarks about the West, and his unexpected admiration for Donald Trump. The episode also covers the global reactions, including responses from European leaders and NATO, who see through Putin's manipulative strategies. Key themes such as Putin's distorted portrayal of Russia as a victim, his misleading economic claims, and his call for peace under Russian terms are critically examined. This episode underscores the urgent need for unity and decisive action in the face of ongoing Russian aggression.----------CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction and Support Acknowledgment00:36 Putin's Delusional Speech Overview02:01 Key Points from Putin's Speech03:48 Putin's Manipulative Tactics06:16 International Reactions to Putin's Speech07:37 Economic and Military Realities09:52 Putin's Continued Aggression and Delusions11:33 Summary and Analysis of Putin's Speech22:02 Final Thoughts and Implications----------LINKS: http://www.en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/77316 https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-says-russia-plans-cut-military-spending-next-year-2025-06-27/https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/06/28/7519200/https://euromaidanpress.com/2025/06/27/west-keeps-trying-to-bury-russia-but-they-will-die-themselves-soon-says-putin-in-new-speech/----------Car for Ukraine has once again joined forces with a group of influencers, creators, and news observers during this summer.

Pirms pāris dienām ASV prezidents Donalds Tramps savā sociālajā tīklā paziņoja, ka esot panākta vienošanās par uguns pārtraukšanu starp Irānu un Izraēlu. Savukārt Baltkrievijā no režīma cietumiem atbrīvoti un Lietuvā ieradušies četrpadsmit politieslodzītie. Ārvalstu aktualitātes apspriežam kopā ar ārpolitikas ekspertu Andi Kudoru un Latvijas Radio Ziņu dienesta ārzemju ziņu korespondentu Rihardu Plūmi. * Divpadsmitdienu karš? 23. jūnija pievakarē pēc Savienoto Valstu Austrumkrasta laika prezidents Tramps savā sociālajā tīklā paziņoja, ka esot panākta vienošanās par uguns pārtraukšanu starp Irānu un Izraēlu ar 25. jūniju. Līdz ar to „Divpadsmitdienu karš”, kā to nodēvēja prezidents, esot noslēdzies. Vai šis apzīmējums patiešām ieiesies, respektīvi, vai uguns pārtraukšana, kura vakar sāka izskatīties diezgan cerīgi, paliks spēkā un pāraugs zināmā noregulējumā – par to pagaidām drošas pārliecības, protams, nav. Kā zināms, 22. jūnijs nesa jaunu pavērsienu militārajā sadursmē, kad amerikāņu gaisa spēku bumbvedēji B-2 raidīja vairākas lieljaudas vadāmās aviobumbas, savukārt jūras spēki – spārnotās raķetes „Tomahawk” pa trim Irānas kodolobjektiem: urāna bagātināšanas rūpnīcām Fordo un Natanzā, kā arī Isfahānas kodoltehnoloģiju centru. Tika laisti darbā jaudīgākie konvencionālie ieroči, kādu Izraēlas rīcībā nav, un kuri, kā tika lēsts, varētu nodarīt Irānas kodolprogrammai izšķirošu postu. Drīz pēc tam Vašingtona sāka bombardēt abas konfliktējošās puses ar uguns pārtraukšanas prasījumiem. Irānas ārlietu ministrs Abass Aragči reaģēja uz prezidenta Trampa paziņojumu par uguns pārtraukšanu, sakot, ka vienošanās gan vēl neesot panākta, bet Irāna ir gatava pārtraukt triecienus otrdienas agrā rītā, ja Izraēla rīkosies tāpat. Dažas stundas vēlāk arī Izraēlas puse paziņoja, ka esot gatava uguns pārtraukšanai, jo karadarbības mērķi sasniegti. Otrdienas rītā gan no Irānas puses pret Izraēlu esot raidītas divas raķetes, un par atbildi Izraēlas gaisa spēki uzbrukuši kādam radaram Teherānas pievārtē, taču pēc tam patiešām iestājies klusums. Cik var spriest, izšķirošais bijis Donalda Trampa telefona zvans premjeram Netanjahu. Vakarā Irāna atvērusi savu gaisa telpu civilās aviācijas lidojumiem, savukārt Izraēla atcēlusi iedzīvotājiem noteiktos ierobežojumus un ziņojusi par lidostu darbības atsākšanu. Zīmīgi, ka abas puses dēvē sevi par uzvarētājām. Premjers Netanjahu paudis, ka viņa valsts vēsturiskās uzvaras nozīme nezudīšot paaudzēm ilgi. Viņa Irānas kolēģis Masuds Pezeškiāns, savukārt, izteicies, ka Izraēla esot saņēmusi „smagu un vēsturisku” pārmācīšanu. Irānas kodolprogramma, kā apgalvo tās valdība, nepavisam neesot sagrauta. Ko līdzīgu pauž arī Savienoto Valstu izlūkdienestu primārais ziņojums, kura saturs tapis zināms presei. Ziņojumā pausts, ka izraēliešu un amerikāņu uzlidojumi varētu būt nobremzējuši Irānas kodolprogrammas gaitu vien uz dažiem mēnešiem. Attiecīgās mediju ziņas likušas pukoties prezidentam Trampam, kurš amerikāņu uzlidojumus Irānai dēvē par vienu no sekmīgākajiem militārajiem triecieniem pasaules vēsturē. Daži brīvībā, tūkstotis paliek aiz restēm Sestdien Savienoto Valstu prezidenta īpašais sūtnis Kīts Kellogs apmeklēja Minsku, kur tikās ar Baltkrievijas autoritāro vadoni Aļaksandru Lukašenku. Nākamajā dienā mediji izplatīja ziņu, ka no režīma cietumiem atbrīvoti un Lietuvā ieradušies četrpadsmit politieslodzītie. Daļa no atbrīvotajiem ir ārvalstu pilsoņi vai personas ar dubultu pilsonību – Zviedrijas, Polijas, Japānas un arī divi Latvijas valstspiederīgie. Bet īpaši nozīmīgu šo Minskas autokrāta žestu padara baltkrievu opozīcijas līdera Sjarheja Cihanouska izlaišana no cietuma. Cihanouskis, blogeris un uzņēmējs, atļāvās mest izaicinājumu diktatoram 2020. gada vēlēšanās. Tieši viņš priekšvēlēšanu kampaņas laikā asociēja ūsaino vadoni ar tarakānu, kurš būtu nospiežams ar čību. Baltkrievijas Centrālā vēlēšanu komisija lēma nepielaist blogeri vēlēšanām, un drīz pēc tam viņš tika aizturēts. Stafeti no vīra pārņēmusī Svetlana Cihanouska, startējot kā apvienotās opozīcijas kandidāte, vēlēšanās, domājams, saņēma daudz vairāk nekā varas oficiāli atzītos 10 % balsu. Svetlanai Cihanouskai nācās bēgt no Baltkrievijas, savukārt Sjarhejam tika piespriesti astoņpadsmit gadi cietumā, apsūdzot viņu masu nekārtību organizēšanā un naida kurināšanā. Tagad, sabijis aiz restēm piecus gadus, viņš ir brīvībā un atkal kopā ar ģimeni, kaut pārvērties līdz nepazīšanai. Visus šos gadus viņam bija liegta saziņa ar tuviniekiem, un 2023. gadā Svetlana Cihanouska pat esot saņēmusi ziņas par vīra nāvi, kas gan, kā redzams, izrādījušās nepatiesas. Preses konferencē atbrīvotais stāstīja, ka viņam bijusi liegta ne vien sarakste un pieeja medijiem, bet arī elementāri higiēnas līdzekļi kā ziepes un zobu birste. Prezidentam Trampam, pauda Cihanouskis, esot vara un iespējas ar vienu vārdu panākt visu baltkrievu politieslodzīto atbrīvošanu, un viņš lūdzot Trampu teikt šo vārdu. Pēc Baltkrievijas opozīcijas ziņām režīma cietumos atrodas vēl apmēram 1150 politieslodzīto. Par šo četrpadsmit atbrīvošanu diktators Lukašenka neesot saņēmis pretī neko vairāk kā pašu sūtņa Kelloga vizītes faktu diplomātiski no Rietumiem praktiski izolētajā Minskā. Kā spriež BBC Austrumeiropas un Dienvideiropas korespondente Sarā Reinsforde, diktators esot izsvēris, ka iespējamie ieguvumi no prominentā politieslodzītā atbrīvošanas esot nozīmīgāki par iespējamajiem riskiem.

Zac Alcampo, Creative Director at Grow Your Center, brings a fresh perspective to leadership, culture, and creativity in early education. With two decades of experience in the gaming industry, Zac is a dynamic entrepreneur and inventive strategist who has helped build immersive digital experiences that merge gamification, artificial intelligence, and user engagement. Now, he's applying those same ideas to the world of child care — reimagining everything from team collaboration to marketing to parenting itself.   In this episode, Zac joins Kris to talk about gamification in parenting, business, and leadership. They cover how AI can boost productivity and creativity, how to use jam-style collaboration in your team culture, and how behavioral design can be a powerful tool in both the classroom and the breakroom.   Key Takeaways: [6:15] Kris shares her summer travel adventures and spiritual coaching work. [7:48] Zac joins from Minsk, Belarus, where he splits his days between parenting and leading creative tech projects. [9:12] Zac explains how his video game industry background led him to gamify tools at Grow Your Center. [13:24] From Microsoft to Bangkok startups, Zac's global career shaped how he solves problems creatively and at scale. [18:23] He shares how he co-parents a bilingual preschooler and how every moment becomes a playful game. [25:51] Fun fact: Zac is a seasoned street dancer and battle organizer who once crowdfunded a street culture festival in Thailand! [33:07] Kris and Zac talk about the tools that the GYC team uses to build next-level content. [37:48] Zac explains how “art directing” AI is the key to using it effectively. It's not about replacing creativity but amplifying it. [45:31] Zac outlines the structure of a “session” — collaborative cycles that build energy, creativity, and connection. [48:26] Gamification isn't just games; it's strategic behavior design. Done well, it increases engagement without being overwhelming. [53:45] Ideas for using gamification in parent events, leadership retreats, classroom behavior, and team training. [55:08] Tip: Split leaderboards into categories so everyone has a lane where they can win and feel valued. [56:28] S3 clients will soon see new gamified systems for onboarding, tracking progress, and celebrating wins. [58:59] Zac spills some beans on what's coming to S3, including visual progress tools, Slack AI, and more rewards. [1:01:35] Zac shares what he's most excited about: launching the M3 platform (Marketing Made Easy) for 2026.   Quotes: “I always tell people, GYC is childcare center marketing on the outside, but inside it's this crazy, cool tech, innovative kind of machine going on inside.” — Zac [9:40] “I have to say, I have a huge sense of purpose with everything that I've learned in my career beforehand and applying it to child care centers.” — Zac [12:10] “Everything turns into a game, and it's quickly become like having a little best friend.” — Zac [18:50] “That's the biggest thing, the mentality shift in the team, instead of like a doer, or just like, you know, a run-of-the-mill worker, really put into their heads to just act like the art director of what you're doing, and use the AI as a pencil, a really, really fast pencil. And you still have to know what looks good. You still have to have your design principles and your theory in there, but you can just produce so much more content with that.” — Zac [40:11]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal Zac Alcampo LinkedIn
