Now is NOT the time to reduce the pressure. Now is the time to INCREASE it. Any money you allow the Russian government to get their hands on, they will use it to sustain this war. They have and will cut spending on medications so they can bomb a hospital in Ukraine. You’re not saving ANYONE

Moscow cannot be allowed to breach European airspace with impunity. EU Foreign Ministers yesterday vowed to ramp up pressure on Russia, increase support for Ukraine, and invest in Europe’s own defence readiness. (2/2)

Russia wants us to discuss who talks to them, And they are already picking who is suitable for that. Let's not walk into that trap. Negotiations are always a team effort, with a defined strategy. That’s why the substance that we discuss today in Cyprus matters much more.

Once dubbed one of the footballs greats, Andrea Pirlo showed his lack of morals by taking Kremlin cash to appear in Moscow. Pirlo, a teammate of Andrei Shevchenko at Milan, was joined by fellow Italian world cup winner Marco Materazzi in posing for photos as Russia hit Kyiv.

I strongly condemn this reckless escalation. It is yet another stark reminder that Russia has no interest in engaging in meaningful peace negotiations. The EU remains unwavering in its support for Ukraine.

Ukraine’s foreign minister:

Forget warning us of an Oreshnik strike - warn Russia of the consequences, demands Ukraine's Foreign Minister. And he has a point. Russia thinks it is beyond punishment, beyond reach.

Russia has long-range, high-precision missiles that could blow up a specific building in Berlin, Paris or London. European armies have nothing that comes close to that, after decades of relying on the US for deterrence. As Trump pulls the plug - can Europe step up? as.ft.com/r/8e1272fb-2...

On April 29, 2026, Valve released an update for Counter-Strike 2. In the new version, Ukrainian inscriptions have been removed from the Chornobyl liquidators’ memorial, leaving only russian and English text. We believe this should be corrected. @valvesoftware.com, please take note.

Estonia is blocking Slovakia's PM from flying in its airspace en route to Moscow. Robert Fico, a mini-Orbán and probably smaller kick-backs too, wants to ingratiate himself again by attending Russia's Victory Day celebrations on 9 May. Reminder: Russia supported Hitler 1939-41

Hungary's prime minister elect announcing that Orbán was funding CPAC and other Trump-related political activities (also Heritage Foundation's Project 2025), and this will now end.

The General Staff of Ukraine reported that during the "regime of silence" from 4:00 PM on April 11 to April 12, Russia itself violated it over 10,000 times. This includes 1,567 artillery shellings of our positions, 119 assaults, and 9,035 kamikaze drone strikes.

I wasn't going to call the US a rogue state, and I apologise for those who've had enough of the current regime in Washington.. But when the President posts this desperate bribe to try to keep a Russian-loving, autocratic thug in power, well, that is what rogue states do.

🤯 Leaked calls reveal Hungary’s FM discussing efforts to block Ukraine’s EU bid with Russia. Recordings published by VSquare suggest Péter Szijjártó shared sensitive EU details and pledged support for moves against Ukraine.

“I delivered bags of money from Mogilevich to the police chief, and more for Orbán": Former Budapest gang member László Kovács tells all Kovács insists that Orbán's top law enforcement official worked closely with the mafia.

Mixing my metaphors, but the brass neck of the Budapest barrel is off the charts. Orbán complains about foreign election interference while stood next to a foreign politician on an election boosting visit, with the whole campaign orchestrated by Russia's FSB. Scumbag.

In honor of Vance's visit to Hungary, where he will campaign for Viktor Orban, I am reposting my article from last year. I argued that Orban's Hungary is one of the poorest countries, and certainly the most corrupt and least free country, in the entire EU. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

"All this time Putin had, and still has, a mole in all European and NATO official meetings. If the integrity of these meetings is to be maintained, it would be appropriate to ban Hungary from all of them. Every generation has a Kim Philby” theins.press/en/inv/29091...

So first, that leak. @theins.press and others published a 2024 recording of Hungary's FM Péter Szijjártó, agreeing to do Moscow's bidding. Russia FM Lavrov begged for an oligarch's sister to be 'unsanctioned' and a few months later Alisher Usmanov's relative was removed from the EU list:

Viktor Orbán's Fidesz needs fewer votes than the opposition Tisza party to stay in power, as the electoral system still favours the incumbent. In this article, we examine the most likely developments after the Hungarian elections on 12 April.
