In the coming weeks, a massive information attack against Ukraine will emerge from the U.S. We will hear claims that Ukraine is an artificial country, a creation of Austria & USAID, a dictatorship ruled by Nazis, and that it illegally produces WMDs. 1/n

This week started with administration officials refusing to acknowledge that Russia started the war in Ukraine. It ends with a tense, shocking conversation in the Oval Office and whispers from the White House that they may try to end all U.S. support for Ukraine. I know foreign

Zur Erinnerung: Hillary Clinton hat gewarnt, dass Trump eine russische Marionette ist. Trump: No puppet, no puppet.
Hillary Clinton called it eight years ago: Putin’s Puppet.

What seemed impossible just a few days ago happened. IAEA has deployed its personnel to Zaporizhzhia NPP via 🇷🇺occupied territory without 🇺🇦 approval.
I have heard that the IAEA will rotate its mission at Zaporizhzhya NPP exclusively through the 🇷🇺occupied territory of🇺🇦- likely via Crimea. Without consent from 🇺🇦 & contrary to 🇪🇺 warnings. An audacious move for R Grossi, who aspires to become the next UN Secretary-General

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

This might be the most extraordinary tweet of the day - the ambassador to ukraine translating this and posting it - a sign of how quickly all the institutions are rushing to show loyalty to Trump. A career diplomat who’s lived the whole war in Kyiv applauding Ze’s humiliation.

Dette er slik FrP tenker bak lukkede dører (Teigen var lenge Listhaugs rådgiver). Dette er en god grunn til å markere tydelig avstand til FrP i (valg)år. (Vance stemte forøvrig mot støtte til Ukraina da han var senator.)
Denne må du se: JD Vance og Trump fillerister Zelensky etter at han marsjerer inn i Det ovale kontor og kritiserer landet som prøver å skape fred – foran media. Amatørmessig opptreden av en desperat leder.

What matters in today's German election: 1. That the victory of the pro-European centre-right party CDU /CSU is as clear as possible, so there is no space for interpretations. 2. That AfD, the populist, extremist, anti-European party, which wants to weaken Europe and to cozy

The American team has almost no experience in high-level international negotiation, no regional expertise on Ukraine and Russia, and no relevant foreign language knowledge. Not true of the Russians, to put it mildly. Looks like a bloodbath by design.
The Russian negotiating team in Riyadh is to consist of: - Yury Ushakov, the Kremlin's chief foreign policy adviser, who has worked in diplomacy for over half a century; - Sergey Naryshkin, Ushakov’s top spy, who served alongside Putin in the Soviet KGB; - Kirill Dmitriev, a

And here comes the real thing. It goes step by step, by step...
In Russia, the State Duma approved the bill ratifying the bilateral treaty with Belarus "on security guarantees within the Union State". It was signed in December last year. 1/2 https://t.co/BlaXeXeZCL

Ich sage es mal so: Ich war immer äußerst skeptisch gegenüber der Idee, Deutschland oder die EU bräuchten eigene Atomwaffen. Aber ohne die USA halte ich das nukleare Abschreckungsdispositiv Frankreichs und des Vereinigten Königreichs nicht für ausreichend, um die gegenwärtige
Wenn es zwischen den USA und Europa noch um Sachfragen wie Verteidigungsausgaben geht, können die Europäer noch gegensteuern, z.B mit 3.5% GDP, etc. Aber, wenn die USA unter Trump für eine fundamental andere Weltordnung stehen, worauf die Rede von Vance hindeutet, muss Europa

Europeans had enough time to prepare for this, but they chose not to. And now they are shocked?! Remarkable!

What should Europe do after the US has gone astray? 1. Arm as fast as possible! Move swiftly to 3% of GDP in defense expenditures! 2. Seize Russian sovereign assets in Europe & transfer them to Ukraine! Buy enough arms so that Ukraine can defeat Russia!
