In recent weeks, the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial has been a mainstay in the media, often overshadowing news of other more important events. The immense attention is due to the fact that the judge allowed the court proceedings to be televised live. And as a result, the entire trial is also being put before the court of public opinion.

According to journalists from the Lithuanian edition of Delfi, as well as the press service of the local parliament, members of the Lithuanian Seimas unanimously voted in favor of adopting a resolution that recognizes Russia as a terrorist state. In their decision, it is indicated that Russia, whose armed forces systematically and deliberately select civilian objects for bombing, is a state that commits and supports terrorist acts.

It appears that Russia underestimated the ability of Ukrainian forces in terms of their will and resilience to fight. Russia was mistaken in believing that Ukrainian forces won’t be able to withstand the Russian attack. It was mistaken by seeing the care, caution, patience and restraint shown by Ukrainian President, in the face of Russian provocations.

On 24th February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. The crisis is ongoing and has garnered a lot of international attention, with the Western countries immediately condemning Russia’s actions and unleashing a slew of reports meant to turn public opinion against Russia’s actions.
