Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

400 arrests
More than 400 Ukrainians who protested against the occupation of Kherson by Russian forces have been detained by Russia's national guard, Ukraine's military high command said.

In a statement, the Ukrainian military high command said hundreds have been arrested for protesting in the now Russian-occupied Kherson.

Due to the furious resistance of the residents of Kherson, the occupiers are attempting to introduce an administrative-police regime.

I can't see the Twitter video from work, but I hope it's good

An interesting comment from the Twitter thread :

An aside: people are yelling in flawless Russian, speaking Russian doesn't make them any less Ukrainian, or in favor of Russian invasion or pro-Putin.

The drawbacks of invading people who speak your language as their mother tongue: Kherson is one of the main cities of Novorossiya.

At least this redux of Syria 2011 does not have the dialect issue. It was clear to anyone who did not need sub-titles back then that the 'rebels' were speaking everything but Syrian for a large majority of them. Who knows, that might happens in Ukraine too, and while the Jews will be allowed to fly to Israel, the rest of the population will end up electing a very different type of leadership.
But that's fine, they'll all be Europeans.

So you speak Arabic, Tom? What other languages?
