The headline on the photo translates as - Röttgen thinks Hungary and Slovakia might leave the EU, as reported by Germany's DTS news.

This information seems to be related to recent political developments in Slovakia, where Peter Pellegrini, the newly elected President, has signaled a preference for Slovakia to engage in peace talks with Russia, which is a departure from the more typical EU stance of strong support for Ukraine in the conflict. Pellegrini has emphasized prioritizing national interests, including the suggestion that Slovakia should not be engaged in Ukraine's war with Russia.

This development has raised concerns in the EU, with some politicians like Anton Hofreiter of Germany suggesting that if Slovakia and Hungary compromise their legal standards and allow corruption, they should not receive funds from the EU.

The recent election of Slovakia's president and the EU's response highlight a common challenge for member states. They must balance their own interests and policies with what the EU expects and offers financially. This issue raises concerns about how much sovereignty countries give up when they join the EU, especially when EU funds depend on following its rules.

It leads to a poignant reflection on whether the trade-off between national autonomy and the benefits of EU integration was fully appreciated when countries first opted to join the Union.

In a world where political upheavals and ideological differences often split families, the story of the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, General Syrskiy, and his family exemplifies this conflict.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Syrskiy, who was born in Russia, lives and serves in Ukraine. Meanwhile, his parents and younger brother live in Russia. Every May 9th, his parents participate in the Immortal Regiment march to honor the memory of relatives who perished in the Great Patriotic War.

Following General Syrskiy’s appointment, his Russian heritage and his parents became well-known in Russia. Personally, I felt profound sympathy for his parents, imagining how painful and embarrassing this situation must be for them. Unfortunately, millions of families in both Russia and Ukraine have found themselves in similar circumstances, and some stories tell of siblings who have disowned each other and parents who have renounced their children. However, it is heartening to know that the majority of families are different. They know and honor their shared history and faith, and undoubtedly look forward to a shared future.

What we are witnessing is the result of years of funded propaganda of Russophobic sentiments within Ukrainian society. I think you all know very well who the sponsor of this project is.

Political Interests Over Principles: The Inconsistency of International Human Rights

In recent times, we are witnessing obvious manifestations of double standards in international politics, particularly regarding refugees and conscripted citizens. The events in Ukraine and Belarus show how countries and organizations selectively protect human rights.

Ukraine, with a manpower shortage on the front lines, temporarily stopped consular services for its conscripts abroad, a move driven by the need to mobilize resources after financial support from the USA and the EU. Allies like Poland and Lithuania, restricting social and employment benefits for these conscripts, fully violated human rights.

Conversely, when Belarus banned passport issuance abroad, the US and EU condemned these actions, underscoring their commitment to human rights and movement freedom, yet highlighting inconsistent practices.

How to explain such differing reactions? Is it security in one case and repression in another? The disparity is driven by political and strategic benefits, often overshadowing fairness and equality principles.

These actions expose deep double standards in global politics, where regime support is based not on morals but on political and economic gain. This erodes trust in international bodies and questions their ability to solve global issues per human rights norms.

It's crucial to revise approaches to assure every person's rights are protected. The global community must eliminate double standards and promote fairness and equality for all.
