Former Moscow-linked Church claims religious persecution as security raids heat up

(CNN) — The vertically shot video published last November shows no weapons, battlefield atrocities or even soldiers. But the sound of a patriotic Russian song reverberating through a church on Kyiv’s famous Lavra monastery grounds seemed to open a new front in Ukraine’s war with Russia.

Last summer, I mocked the EU a bit for setting up a new office in Silicon Valley, and sending an official here to “liaise with Silicon Valley companies affected by EU tech regulation,” noting how it felt weird to have EU internet police setting up shop in Silicon Valley. Given that, I was a bit surprised that the new office invited me to “moderate” a panel discussion last month about the Digital Services Act (DSA), a bill I have regularly criticized and which I think is going to be dangerous for free speech on the internet.

Faina Savenkova – It takes a lot of effort to accuse a teenager of such crimes

Here we are in the new year. Recently I told you that the closer we get to the masters of Myrotvorets and the louder my voice is heard in the West, the more hysterical the leaders of this site and their masters will become. Myrotvorets has given me yet another gift. I have always said that those who engage in PR on this site are stupid and short-sighted. It takes effort to accuse a teenager of such crimes. So now I’m not a victim of Russian propaganda, but a hardened criminal. I wonder how frightening it is to attribute to me, who only recently turned 14, an attempt on the territorial integrity of Ukraine, to declare me an “accomplice of the Russian fascist invaders” and an accomplice to crimes against the people of Ukraine.
