Europa braucht eine gemeinsame Verteidigungsstragie, welche die Ukraine systematisch einbindet. Mein Text darüber, wie die Ukraine zur allgemeinen Sucherheit in Europa beitragen kann und wie europäische Abschreckung funktionieren soll.

Nach unserer Kyjiw-Reise analysiere ich die Lage und begründe,warum wir aufhören sollen, von "Unterstützung" und "Hilfe" für die Ukraine zu reden. Stattdessen sollte Europa sich als einen Partner begrei­fen, der mit der Ukraine zusam­men eine gemein­same Ver­tei­di­gungs­stra­te­gie ent­wi­ckelt

🇺🇦 Sanitätstruppen arbeiten unter Dauerbeschuss und werden gezielt angegriffen. Längere Rettungswege erzwingen Improvisation und Reformen – auch westliche Armeen können davon lernen. 🔗 t.ly/-Mnwq ✍️ Kilian von Sommerfeld für @ukraineverstehen.de @libmod.de

This is very bad, and we can't remain silent about it. One can only hope that with enough international pressure, Zelensky won't sign it kyivindependent.com/bill-subordi...

After my one own recent encounter with a person most probably recruited by Russia here in Berlin, the text by @denistrubetskoy.bsky.social on Russian recruitment and sabotage in Europe (including Ukraine) is even more illustrative

The (very few) details of the brilliant operation that took 18 months to prepare by the Security Service of Ukraine www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

Ukrainian drones have destroyed over 40 Russian military aircraft — the very ones that launch nightly missile attacks on Ukrainian cities. Yet, at times, the West still seems more afraid of a strong Ukraine striking back than of a Russia advancing toward NATO’s borders.

It looks like #Taurus may soon arrive in Ukraine after all. Merz declares "That there are no longer any range restrictions on the weapons we supply. Ukraine can now also defend itself by attacking military positions in Russia."

"We are no longer arguing about this issue [Taurus delivery to Ukraine] in this coalition" - apparently what Merz said while being in opposition no longer applies to him as chancellor. Who would have thought?🤷‍♀️ #taurus

Matthias Miersch, SPD parliamentary group leader,has ruled out the delivery of Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine. "We do not want to become a warring party." Same excuses,same gutlessness and probably the hope of getting back to business as usual with Russia as soon as the opportunity arises #taurus

The good news about Russia not accepting any "peace" deal (which Putin would never hold on to anyway) is that it buys time for Europe to arm Ukraine and generally get its act together. We may not accept that the two imperialistic powers will decide the fate of a European state 19century style

Even though the Russian shelling of the Ukrainian energy infrastructure is horrible, Ukraine's attacks on Russia's oil facilities are more damaging for Russia economically. Putin only agreed to what can benefit him. He didn't agree to any cease-fire, and there have been no consequences from the US

Beyond the Washington noise, we need to focus on what happens in Ukraine: +5000 drones thrown at Ukraine since the beginning of 2025. Russians haven't seized Pokrovsk, while Ukraine liberated Kotlyne & continues strikes on russian military logistics. Full video 🔗👇 www.instagram.com/reel/DGsJeCf...

@dielinkebt.bsky.social beschloss gestern die Aufhebung der Schuldenbremse, um u. A. "den massiven Investitionsstau in Deutschland zu beheben, aber auch um ausreichend Gelder für eine finanzielle zivile Unterstützung der Ukraine frei zu machen" www.die-linke.de/partei/parte...

❗️One of Norway’s largest companies, Haltbakk Bunkers, has announced that it will stop supplying fuel to the U.S. Navy. They have also called on other European companies to cease servicing U.S. military forces.

The publisher of one of the biggest newspapers in Germany Welt takes Trump's side. On X posts Welt, "Zelensky jeopardised the future of Europe with his behaviour". I didn't know there are that many MAGA guys in Germany

Auch Naivität kann sehr schädlich, gar verbrecherisch sein

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

"Zelensky had no good options at the White House. He walked into an ambush with a president who empathizes with the dictator who wants to seize Ukraine’s territory" - there can be no winning strategy with Trump. He wants Ukraine to fail www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

In the meantime State Department terminates U.S. support of Ukraine energy grid restoration (the decision was made before Zelensky's visit, of course). This would leave Ukraine's energy grid vulnerable as it endures assaults from further Russian missiles and drones

This is great to see so much support from Europe now. But it may not remain just words. Ukraine’s security is European security. The peaceful times are long gone. We need to step up and arm Ukraine and ourselves. Otherwise, there won't be any peace in Europe

The Danish left party @enhedslisten.bsky.social political leader @pelledragsted.bsky.social after Trump's colonial treatment of Ukraine's president "My respect for Zelensky is even greater. The US may do what they want. Europe must provide what the US will not" Thank you for the true solidarity!

Munich 2025, sorry, 1938... When we said in 2022 that Ukraine might become a Czechoslovakia of the 21century, we didn't know that history would repeat itself quite literally

Indeed, Trump is humiliating Europe (and that includes the UK you Brexiteers). His Press Secretary just confirmed that no Europeans will be involved in the talks to end the war. Europe is being treated with disdain.

Apart from reporting, I was at a loss for words today. I am so worried when I look at what is to come. Today is not only about Ukraine; this is a moment of truth for the world, and particularly for Europe. Ask yourself what kind of world order you are willing to live in, and act accordingly.
