Large scale 🇷🇺 attack against Odesa 🇺🇦 last nights with residential areas obviously targeted. It’s a profound disgrace this can happen in our Europe today!

The Russian military executed yet another injured and disarmed Ukrainian soldier. Russians have knowingly made atrocities and war crimes an everyday practice in Ukraine while the West is still obsessed with escalation management and trying to pretend it's not happening in Europe

This week, unfortunately, has brought Ukraine brutal Russian attacks on Kharkiv, Donetsk, Sumy, Odesa and Zaporizhzhia. Nearly every day we face drone strikes, as well as missile strikes. In every meeting, every negotiation with partners who have air defense systems, the

€400 million can be turned into 100,000 Russian casualties. That's the way to do it!
Visited today with Minister @HermanSmetanin a drone factory. Hugely impressed by Ukraine’s innovation capacity & entrepreneurship. The EU has already made €400 million from revenues of Russian frozen assets available to support Ukraine‘s defence industry. More is to come.

Unsurprisingly, huge demonstration today in Valencia about the official response to the awful floods. Will our response be any better when similarly severe flooding happens in the UK? And happen it will.

Confirmation that Reeves has barely altered the huge tax relief for new oil and gas investment. Was 91%. Now 84%. This is totally at odds with the UK’s climate aims—a serious failure of ambition. https://t.co/JkDp6kRrgJ
Jeez this is depressing. Oil companies currently get £91 in tax relief for every £100 invested, though only if it's in oil and gas! Today's announcement will see that barely change. A reduction to £84. Gov did float a bigger reduction in July.... https://t.co/7ox8qf21tj

Kyiv has been increasingly frustrated with the outgoing Biden team, and a Kamala Harris victory would have posed its own challenges.

Just a reminder, Ivanishvili himself is weak and scared. Westerners in power, don’t be intimidated, we—Georgians are absolutely not. Cut his two shaky legs — money and reputation and his entire system will collapse. We will be just ready to do the rest

In 🇬🇪, the Ivanishvili regime's agenda is clear: to consolidate multi-party electoral authoritarianism in its hegemonic form. To achieve this, it needs to destroy all four opposition parties currently challenging them. Their destruction does not necessarily mean banning them, as
