“The banality of evil – a phrase coined by Hannah Arendt, who covered the trial of Adolf Eichmann sixty years ago – is on full display. It lives not only in Bagnyuk – the remote control killer – but in his commander-in-chief, Vladimir Putin,” writes Andrew Chakhoyan in this op-ed.

"Europe does not need permission to help Ukraine restore its borders. It needs the will. There is a basic rule that applies to nations as much as to people: pour your energy into the things you can affect," writes Academic director at the University of Amsterdam Andrew Chakhoyan in his op-ed.

President of Portugal on Trump: “The leader of the world's greatest superpower is objectively a Soviet or Russian asset. He functions as an asset.”

Stand With Ukraine - Boycott Exxon-Mobil Exxon-Mobil executives discussed with russia’s Rosneft about returning to the Sakhalin project. Canada has sanctioned Rosneft for supporting the russian government's illegal war of aggression on Ukraine. #StandWithUkraine

Public Service Announcement: if what's happening in Alaska makes you sick, a donation to Ukraine would improve your health

Europe could have ended this war in 2022. Our leaders’ denialism & impotent handwringing are a choice they’ve willfully made every day for the past 3.5 years. Trump being nuts doesn’t excuse Europe’s inaction. If anything it should’ve pushed us to do more faster. Yet here we are.

Once again, US leaders seem hell-bent bound on appeasing murderers, once more Europeans are lurching into damage control. Are we powerless? No, we can support 🇺🇦 heroes! For a crucial thermal drone at one of the hotspots in the South, we still need €2.7K. Pls join: euromaidanpress.com/lets-support...

Putin capitalizes on the symbolism of Russian expansionism. The most incompetent and ignorant American administration will not resist presenting Alaska as an example of a fraternal friendship. All that remains is the irony of trading Ukrainian sovereignty in a territory that was itself traded.

Let me get this straight: Some Ukraine supporters are celebrating trump's yesterday "announcements" when the only concrete thing that came out of the White House folklore was granting Putin a free hand in Ukraine for the next 50 days? What? The last 3 or 4 "2 weeks" weren't enough?

Chancellor Merz: Russia is already attacking us today. The infrastructure, we have attacks, arson attacks, what has also happened in barracks here in recent days. Almost all trails lead to Russia.

Guys, just so you know - the dude on the screenshot is a scam, I quit Xitter last year and I don't regret it. But if you're still there, please report his account for impersonation. Thanks! 🙏

❗️China will not allow Russia to lose in the war with Ukraine because the US will switch its attention to Beijing, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in private conversations

1/ Post-Op Analysis: It appears that the US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities have been not as successful as originally thought. Leaked intelligence reports indicate that nuclear proliferation development was only set back 3-4 months, further proven by the fact that the White House is now...
