In total, over 33,000 individuals and 22,000 vehicles were checked, and 150 criminal reports were filed covering aggravated theft, drug offences, environmental crimes and money‑laundering.

If i continue checking on the little footage available of that #whale in the #BalticSea (no, unfortunately, i don't mean a beluga who could still be helped because they still have a chance of survival), i'll lose the sense for everyone else around and right in front of me.

...

There is a couple of #swans in the footage, who have their territory right around that heavy intruder. 🦢🦢

Russia flexes it’s air forces over the Baltic Sea as usual, but this time the force was big:

Two supersonic bombers, escorted by 10 fighters.

This happens regularly, but usually is more modest in numbers. Russia tends to flex more when it’s afraid.

NATO intercepts Russian military aircraft flying over the Baltic Sea

NATO has intercepted Russian bombers and fighter jets over the Baltic Sea. French Rafale fighters deployed from Lithuania joined jets from Sweden, Finland, Poland, Denmark, and Romania to monitor the Russian flight on Monday. The Russian mission includes supersonic bombers and about 10 fighters. Russia's defense ministry says the flight occurs over neutral waters and follows international airspace rules. NATO often scrambles jets to intercept Russian planes that don't use transponders or file flight plans. The Baltic air policing mission has been active since 2004, regularly monitoring flights to and from the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad.
