This is what Putin really fears….Ukraine and Belarus…two nations on his border…becoming fully integrated into the EU and NATO and enjoying the freedoms and prosperity that come with it.
This shows what it means to be a democracy and part of the European Union: Lithuania’s GDP per capita is $29.3K, while Belarus’s is just $8.3K. Belarus could be where Lithuania is today — if not for dictatorship and the eternal Moscow yoke around its neck.

Reporter: If Russia’s position hasn’t changed, where’s the compromise? Andrei Kelin: Why should we? We’re advancing — since January, we’ve gained 5,000 km² and 220 towns. Ukraine’s losing ground fast, especially near Pokrovsk, though British media ignore our progress. 5/

Lithuania’s and Belarus’ GDP were about the same in 1995. One decided to embrace free markets and rule of law. The other embraced Russia. This is one of many reasons why Ukraine wants to be aligned the United States and the West.

Good to see Ukrainian President @ZelenskyyUa again – this time in Kyiv 🇺🇦. I conveyed that this senseless war must end, and that peace – led by President Trump’s efforts – is the only viable path forward.

Ukraine is a horizontal society and state. Russia is vertical and hierarchical. Spot on.
Ukrainian philosopher @yermolenko_v explaining Ukraine. Very spot-on. “Sometimes people ask: how can we overcome Ukraine’s self-perception as “anti-Russia”? How can we stop seeing ourselves as merely the negation of Russia? After all, we are not the denial of something

Plokhy: This war is the disintegration of an empire. Empires crumble. Ukraine will follow that pattern. But disintegration is not an event — it’s a process. I have no problem seeing this war end with Ukraine’s victory, but no idea when that will be. 6X

Russia's budget deficit will be even larger this year and could reach 3.5% of GDP. The recent budget correction assumes 42.8 trillion RUB expenditure, but Q4 would have to be historically frugal to achieve that target. After Q3, already 72% of the plan was spent. 66% is normal.

"We must stand with @NATO ally Lithuania amid Belarusian balloon airspace violations," said @SenatorShaheen. "This is an important reminder: Lukashenka sold his country's sovereignty down the river to keep power. The Trump Administration must approach this regime with caution.”
Lithuania intends to permanently close its border with Belarus and shoot down any balloons entering its airspace, Prime Minister Inga Ruginienė said today. https://t.co/KecWW80bqM
