U.S. Vice President Joe Biden is currently in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius as part of a trip to reassure the three countries, all European Union and NATO members, of Washington's support.

Ukraine told the rights council that U.N. experts had found no credible evidence of mistreatment of its Russian minority as alleged by Moscow -- one of whose pro-Kremlin newspapers said this week there was "bloodshed almost like in Syria" in the east of the country. ...

The bronze soldier statue was not sent to a dump but was instead relocated to Tallinn Military cemetery.

A Treasury Department adviser who returned after several years in Estonia, reported that there are no serious ethnic conflicts in Estonia.

Well, it was posted on this website yesterday that Putin will be building military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua. Does that give you a clue?

You may ask, why are there so many Russians in these places?

The answer is no happenstance: Russification.

“I understand those of Russian lineage are under persecution in U.K. as well.”

LOL. Watch out! One of our local Putinistas will be here momentarily to prove the Russian historical claim to England. Vikings are ethnic Russians don’t you know.
