At first glance, the sisters from the St. Elizabeth Monastery seemed the picture of innocence. Around Christmas, they were selling icons, crafts, and souvenirs to the faithful in Swedish churches, without arousing suspicion. Even in Täby, a prosperous suburb near Stockholm, their presence raised no questions: the rector had personally given them permission to set up their tables in the church hall. However, in a Europe confronted with Russia’s hybrid war, appearances can be deceiving. As the Church of Sweden would later warn, the women presented as “nuns” were, in fact, representatives of a controversial monastery in Belarus, known for…

This instrument, whose implementation requires a qualified majority of EU countries, allows, among other things, the freezing of access to European public markets or the blocking of certain investments, writes Agerpres. Also, the American trade threats “raise the issue of the validity of the agreement” on tariffs concluded between the European Union and the USA in…

The authorities failed to promptly resolve the issue, and the residents were left without electricity, water, and heat for three days.

The…

The saleswoman responded that “there is freedom of speech and democracy…

The information was subsequently taken over by the independent Russian press and Ukrainian sources, although the Russian Ministry of Defense did not officially confirm the change.
