A new Iron Curtain is descending across Europe. As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine goes on, European countries have begun reinforcing their borders with Russia and its ally Belarus, to prevent the entry of refugees.

The Italian writer Roberto Saviano is standing trial on Tuesday for calling Italy’s new prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, a “bastard” after she said NGO boats that had attempted to rescue refugees should be sunk.
