Today, Russian state media outlet Sputnik expanded its broadcast presence in Ethiopia, opening an "Africa Hub" in Addis Ababa.
Some of this footage is from the launch ceremony, where Ethiopian parliamentary speaker Agegnehu Teshager, and Valentina Matvienko, Russia's Federation Council speaker were both present.
Sputnik, which already had a presence in Ethiopia, expands at a time when Ethiopian media outlets and civil society orgs face shutdowns, and the arrests of their members.

Trump will be talking to Putin Tuesday, and he thinks he can get a lasting peace by drawing lines on a map of Ukraine without Ukraine.
Putin is going to run in circles around the most naive president in US history, and he will use every psychological trick in the book to make Trump believe that it is all Ukraine's fault, that Trump's glorious, beautiful, perfect peace deal won't work.
And as always, Trump will make sure there is no historic record of the conversation.

With US pulling out of NATO, Norway will no longer be safe from Russia. I believe they will probably annex Svalbard. Maybe more. Question is when. Maybe Putin will take back the baltic states first.
Land concessions is a really bad idea.
At the very least, any land concessions should come with a NATO membership for Ukraine.
