The Czech Republic's transport minister warns of Russia's attempts to disrupt European rail networks, suspected to be part of a campaign to destabilize the EU. Thousands of hacking attempts, including attacks on signalling systems, have been made since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. While the Czech Republic has managed to defend against these attacks, concerns remain about potential accidents. Similar attacks have targeted railway companies in Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, and Estonia. Prague is taking measures to strengthen cybersecurity and limit foreign involvement in critical infrastructure projects, advocating for more EU funding for transport infrastructure to address increasing demand and alleviate strain on conventional operators.

And yet Ukraine’s Nazi problem never ended, and remains to this day.

No shit. The world's fascism problem never ended. Do you have any articles discussing fascism in Russia? Or America? Or the EU?

How do you feel about Volodymyr Zelenskyy? Is he an anti-Semite fascist too?

I'd love to hear your opinion on Putin.

Fascists like like Alexei Navalny, you mean?

.
Or like Aleksandr Dugin, who some Lemmitor falsely called Putin’s “right-hand man” this week?

Or America? Or the EU?

The best summary of that I think is: The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It

How do you feel about Volodymyr Zelenskyy? Is he an anti-Semite fascist too?

Is this one of those “Zelenskyy is Jewish so Ukraine can’t have a Nazi problem” arguments? That’s like saying Obama is black so America can’t have a racism problem. Anyway, there were Jewish Nazis in Nazi Germany, including high ranking officers.

I’d love to hear your opinion on Putin.

I can’t compress the last ~25 years of Russian leadership into an “opinion,” so pass.

Yes, Ukraine had a dangerous drift towards exclutionary Ukrainian nationalism for many years, which Russia promoted by igniting the conflict through their use of paramilitary forces in Donetsk and Lugansk, which made it great for Ukrainian supremacists and Russian supremacists to fester in both sides.

Despite that, Ukraine elected Zelensky, a Russian speaking president who spoke both Ukrainian and Russian during his inaugural speech as symbolism that it was time for their country to reconcile itself with its minorities.

But this fact is usually omitted in Russian propaganda, since it's so devastating to their narrative.

Yes, that was Zelensky’s sales pitch, and it got him into office, and probably it was even what he wanted, but his presidency didn’t play out that way, because fascist elements in the country, in the military/paramilitary, and in government didn’t allow it to play out that way. The guy was a comedian, an actor who played president on a TV show. He got into office with no political experience and got steamrolled. It’s extremely unfortunate for everyone in the world but the fascist elements in Ukraine.

@davel @thisnameisnottolong

You and Putin really hate those Ukrainian Nazis. Will you help Putin or do you have bone spurs or something?
