russia must lose and lose badly. russia must crawl on its knees out of Ukraine, begging for mercy. That is what every dictator on this planet needs to see." "As long as it takes", is a bad strategy for everyone. We must plan for Ukraine to win and for Russia to lose this war
Russia needs to lose, and lose badly. That's what every dictator on the planet needs to see. Our ability or failure to stop and punish Russia's crimes in #Ukraine will deter or encourage the aggression of dictatorships worldwide, and thereby determine the course of this century.

You can be a sheep and accept Elon Musk's groundless claim that the EU is attacking free speech. Or you can try to understand why the EU is fining Twitter. It is not an attack on free speech.

In reality, not a single person died, the driver was drunk and had used cannabis, and this happened in the Caribbean. How do we know? Because it was reported by all major French media, including Le Monde. +31M impressions, no community note. This is how disinformation spreads.

"If Europe can generate sufficient military and economic support for Ukraine, and economic pressure on Russia, then at some point in 2026 or 2027 the incentive structure for Putin would change." @fromTGA

Whether using frozen Russian assets, ramping up defence production or deepening the relationship with the EU, it’s up to us to secure Ukraine’s future, says Guardian columnist Timothy Garton Ash

Beste gematigde VVDers. De wereld staat in brand. De VS trekt zich terug en steunt rechtsradicalen in Europa. Is het niet tijd voor een meerderheidskabinet om orde op zaken te stellen?

The EU is under attack from all sides. Russian warmongers are joining forces with American tech bros and Europe-hating MAGA politicians. It feels like the EU is the last bastion of sanity in an ocean of lies, propaganda and corruption where only might is right.

Anti-EU groepen trekken op met Musk, Trump, Hongarije en Rusland onder het mom dat de EU ‘ondemocratisch’ zou zijn. Ironisch genoeg scoren juist deze landen/stemmen het slechtst op democratie en vrijheid van meningsuiting.

For the same reason Russia has often viewed the EU, not NATO, as the real threat: a functioning democracy that stands firmly by its values, with the fear that its influence could spill over
The only part of the world where the new 🇺🇸 security strategy sees any threat to democracy seems to be Europe. Bizarre.

Voor wie nog steeds gelooft dat Rusland in de Donbas zal stoppen: luister naar Poetin zelf
Putin has once again mentioned Novorossiya. In an interview ahead of his visit to India, he stressed that, in any case, Russia will 'liberate' Donbas and Novorossiya by military or other means. It is telling that Putin is now speaking not only about the Donetsk region. All there

The U.S. “Peace” strategy: Squeeze support for Ukraine and push it toward capitulation, Appease Russia by easing sanctions and offering attractive trade incentives. Europe must now decide which side of history it wants to be on.
🇺🇸‼️🇪🇺🇺🇦 The US has called on Europe to block the allocation of a "reparations loan" to Ukraine from the account of frozen Russian assets, as they are needed to reach a peace agreement, not to continue the war, — Bloomberg

Het wordt tijd dat Europa haar eigen koers gaat varen en haar eigen waarden krachtig verdedigt. Geen rehabilitatie van Rusland. Geen inmenging van de VS in onze politiek. Pogingen om partijen zoals de AfD te versterken door Musk of Vance moeten onmiddellijk worden bestraft.

North Korea sending missiles & ammo to wage war in Europe should've been a red line. It wasn't, so they sent troops. That wasn't either, so now russia sent abducted Ukrainian children to North Korean camps for indoctrination & militarisation. Where is our red line?

Just facts indeed, and the European leaders have a realistic and blunt assessment of the US position. Trump administration is actually willing to throw Ukraine and the Ukrainian under the bus. Europe and Ukraine are alone, and we know it. They should act accordingly.
New at @derspiegel: We obtained the transcript of a conference call of top European leaders and Volodymyr Zelensky, warning of American dirty tricks to the end war. Emmanuel Macron said there's a chance the U.S. will "betray" Ukraine on territory. Friedrich Merz said: "They

By pressuring Ukraine and inadvertently empowering Russia, the U.S. government is proving to be an unreliable ally. We’re farther from peace than ever, and Russia will seize the opportunity to demand more.
Two days after Witkoff and Kushner met Putin, the Treasury Department partially suspended sanctions on Russia that were announced last October. What did the US get in return? https://t.co/2EPr0GlqiN

Russia wants peace,” says the White House. Yet Russia’s words and actions show only a desire to escalate. When will we wake up to the fact that only Russia’s defeat can bring lasting peace for Ukraine and Europe?
Four unidentified military-grade drones breached a no-fly zone in Dublin just minutes after Zelensky’s plane landed. They targeted the exact flight path and then circled an Irish Navy vessel deployed for the visit. Ireland is probing it as a potential hybrid attack, echoing

One of the EU’s and Ukraine’s biggest problems: we worry about following every rule, while Russia follows treaties only when it suits them, committing war crimes and confiscating Western assets for years.
Some of the recent statements coming out of Europe remind me that there are still Russian assets that haven't even been frozen.

My message to Europe’s leaders: defeatism is not the path to victory. Defeatism is a direct road to hell.

In Europa zijn we in een paar jaar tijd 80 jaar teruggeworpen. Internationaal recht wordt selectief toegepast en soms lijkt het zelfs uitgewist. De gevolgen van wat we hebben laten gebeuren en Rusland ermee weg laten komen, zullen we nog lang voelen.
Just a Russian military Telegram channel recommending that troops not forget to ALSO commit sexual assault upon any women they might come across in Ukraine. This is what Ukrainians are keeping out of Europe while Brussels whines about money.

Supporters of a forced deal claim that "the deal today is better than what Ukraine will have in 2026." In reality, the deal Ukraine will face in 2026 after a forced appeasement agreement in 2025 will be far worse than any position Ukraine will have in 2026 if it keeps fighting

Follow the money.
Dmitriev handles Putin's money and offshore interests. Jared handles Donny's offshore interests. Witkoff's kid set up an offshore money laundering business for the Trump family. It all makes sense if you follow the money.

Wat ik overal mis: waar is de verontwaardiging over Europa? Geen plan om Oekraïne sterk de onderhandelingen in te krijgen, te weinig militaire steun, geen 300 mld. Terwijl Trump & Rusland proberen te verdelen, blijven EU-leiders na 13 maanden verlamd.
