A large number of EU resolutions on Ukraine are being blocked by Hungary, said Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis.
Hungary is digging in and refusing to wave through billions in military aid for Ukraine, prompting growing dismay among other EU countries.
"I have to calm myself [when] I talk about this issue, because it’s getting really ridiculous now,” a senior EU diplomat said of the standoff with Hungary, speaking before Monday’s meeting of EU foreign ministers. “What’s happening is outrageous.”
Diplomats had hoped to have a new €6.6 billion package ready ahead of this week’s meetings of foreign and defense ministers in Brussels. The deal included €860 million for arms procurement, reported by POLITICO last week.
Please stop abusing the flagging system. “Misinformation” is not against the rules. You flagged them over a dozen times for that.
It’s disinformation, not misinformation. He’s willfully spreading propaganda that aims to sow discord within our societies. I guess you’re just as bad as the worldnews community on lemmy.ml. An accomplice. I guess you too will reap what you sow eventually.
You’re welcome to not like our rules, but neither disinformation nor misinformation (which is what you called it when you flagged it) are disallowed in comments.
I’ve reported all disinformation spreading comments with “Disinformation”, and one insulting one with “Insult”, so I’m not sure what you’re talking about flagging things.
Considering that the news submissions were the only thing that was at least half reliable on the fediverse, I guess it now lost its entire point by now. Tankies here, Nazis on Reddit. No thanks.
You can call it whatever you like. It is not against the community rules to say something untrue in a comment and we mods do not have the time to vet every flagged comment for veracity.
Hey @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world, I haven’t reported any misinformation myself, but just pointing out that your community rule 3 says, “Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.”
TBH I’ve noticed a lot of accommodation for the feelings of tankies in mod decisions here recently. I get that you probably want to be “balanced”, but could we maybe just agree that it’s a FACT that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was not justified or legal, even if it hurts the feeling of those who like to defend the actions of the war criminal Vladimir Putin?
If you agree that this is indeed a fact, then perhaps you might also consider clamping down on all the tankie posts that amount to nothing more than apologia for authoritarian dictators? If not, I’d love to know your reasoning for allowing them to post their toxic propaganda here.
Yes, articles. Not comments. Misinformation articles are against the rules.
If you want to say that Putin is an awesome dude who does no wrong, that’s allowed even though it’s a stupid thing to say.
Thank you for the clarification.
