Zelensky calls for a complete shutdown of trade with Russia and calls out Nestle, Societe Generale and a number of other corpo's still doing business in or with Russia.
He also once stresses the need for a no-fly zone and to the countries that signed the Budapest Memorandum to keep their word and defend Ukraine.

Russia is expelled from the Council of Europe or rather it turned into a 'you didn't fire me, I quit!' situation

Human rights no longer apply to the Russian Federation.
Today they gunned down 10 people waiting for bread.

The ICJ has ordered Russia to immediately stop the war and has declared Russia's claims about a genocide in the donbass null and void.
https://twitter.com/euronews/status/1504124555148865539

Only 2 judges voted against: China and Russia.
These proceedings might seem meaningless but if additional (s)actions are taken against Russia (naval blockade, trade ban, military) these sort of rulings will pave the way.
Plus it establishes the legal framework for post-war lawsuits against the Russian military, war profiteers, oligarchs and the orcs in charge.

They used Russia's own bullshit against them. Because they 'justify' their invasion with a genocide the ICJ is able to pass judgment.

This is the freedom we must protect against tyrants

Today I had an opportunity to vote again in local elections for our municipality.
This allowed me to vote for the 'Party of Inhabitants' who campaigned on free parking, more affordable housing, lower taxes and some kind of real-estate fraud I didn't quite understand but there was a disclaimer on the website how they were totally not corrupt and not involved but some construction company had to pay back 6 million in damages they weren't entitled to.

Out of ~10 parties this party landed in 2nd place. Behind the party of our PM

The head of Russian state TV Konstantin Ernst is fired or resigned. In any case he's out too.

That's the second high profile regime resignation in a day.

In another surprising development the Chinese state propaganda no longer echoes the Russian propaganda.
Instead they focus on war crimes and destruction brought about by the war and the profiteering of arms dealers.

At this point the route to being a Christian Orthodox version of Iran still open.
