@69thsb.bsky.social thanks for all you do, guys. Just got my new patch a couple days after backing the French Battalion's 2nd campaign (co-launched by @tatouania505.bsky.social, @arnocast.bsky.social and @soutienzelensky.bsky.social). Happy succession. help99.co/patches/french-battaliin-2nd-campaign

"The US right & Russia share the feeling that Europe is arrogant & assumes a much bigger role than it deserves. What we are seeing is a deliberate humiliation of the Europeans. Vance's speech & the new Ukraine policy are both expressions of Europhobia" www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

"Trump’s demand for a $500bn “payback” from Ukraine goes far beyond US control over the country’s critical minerals. It covers everything from ports and infrastructure to oil and gas, and the larger resource base of the country." www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

"If European leaders fixate on appeasing Trump, they will win a pyrrhic victory (...)buy American & remain dependent on the US for combat capabilities, manpower. They should approach the new administration with a plan to replace many US troops in Europe" on.ft.com/4heHqPM

Emmanuel Macron hinted yesterday that France would need to go beyond NATO’s current spending target. In 2024, France spent 2.06% of GDP on its military. www.politico.eu/article/fran...

It's insane how Scholz is using Ukraine for domestic politics: reaffirming he'll never deliver Taurus missiles nor authorize strikes on Russian territory, warning against risks of escalation, calling Putin. He wants to run and be seen as Peace Chancellor, moderate & responsible

I'm in Marie-Galante, 8000km away from Ukraine, and I was glad to see my hosts recognized the 🇺🇦 flag, explained they follow news about Ukraine, support Ukrainians, hate Putin, & that they firmly think that if Russia wins, they will not stop in Ukraine.

Verney-Carron, Turgis et Gaillard… Ces pépites françaises de la défense qui séduisent l’Ukraine avant la France www.challenges.fr/entreprise/d...

Nous sommes à deux doigts de capituler (ce que Moscou appelle négociations), contraints par notre incapacité à admettre la nature fasciste de la Russie de 2023 et notre incapacité à fournir l'aide nécessaire aux ukrainiens. C'est triste mais déjà vécu en 2015...

Start prioritizing Ukraine’s defense industrial base now to for Kyiv’s long-term security breakingdefense-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/breaking...

To arm Ukraine for the long war, Europe and the United States should support the development of the country’s military industry ecfr.eu/article/the-...

European companies keeps supplying equipment and components to Russian missile manufacturers theins.press/en/politics/...

Ukrainian intel has revealed that amid the recent growth of private military companies, even the Russian Orthodox Church is getting in on the act, recruiting believers to fight against Ukraine. www.kyivpost.com/post/22988

"Poutine espère briser notre unité et fragmenter l’Europe. Nous n’allons pas lui faire ce plaisir" 🇪🇪 Kaja Kallas www.lexpress.fr/monde/europe...

Musk considers removing X platform from Europe over EU law. Given how X transformed itself into a dangerous tool spreading fake news, even rewarding them, maybe that would be the best thing for Europeans www.euractiv.com/section/plat...

Apparently Putin has played down the impact of ATACMS during his visit to China, saying that they won’t change the situation or be of any particular use for Ukraine. So much for the escalation once again. (Finnish source so that you can admire our weird language 😉)

2 drones for the 80th Brigade that Skeletonians affectionately named “Kersti” after the first Estonian female president and “Smile & Wave”. Being the European cleantech company that is the most supportive of Ukraine is a bit niche but it is a crown we are aiming for. Skeletontech.com 🇺🇦

En Ukraine, les entrepreneurs de la tech en arrière-front. De jour, ils sont entrepreneurs. De nuit aussi, mais au service de la défense de leur pays, l’Ukraine www.letemps.ch/economie/en-...

Europe & NATO are becoming more and more tolerant to Russia's aggressive behaviour in Europe: the Baltic connector got sabotaged and noone outside of Finland and Estonia seems to care. Also, Russia strikes Romania's border & drones falls on Romanian side, & this seems acceptable.

🇺🇦 Our new delivery: We've got M3 pros, FPV Explorers, M30T, Air 2S & River 2 pro. 13 drones & power stations for 80th air Assault Brigade, 16th special rifle batallion, Adam group, SOF & 3rd brigade Azov. Please donate for our next batch! adoptadrone.org

In very irrelevant news: I’ve so far refused to call Twitter X because the silliness of it was too much for me. But from now on I’ll refer to it as Ex to match the degeneration of the platform. Weird what a fitting name Musk picked for it.

Hamas’ gift to Vladimir Putin. Russia is relishing — and partly fueling — chaos in a series of global flashpoints that divert the West’s energies from Ukraine. www.politico.eu/article/hama...

"I fear that Hamas’s intention is to get Israel to retaliate massively and have the conflict escalate: a West Bank uprising, Hezbollah attacks, a revolt in E. Jerusalem." www.foreignaffairs.com/middle-east/...

Ukrainians are responding to Russia's assault by reclaiming their identity from those who sought to erase it. www.politico.eu/article/how-...

From Kosovo to Nagorno-Karabakh, evidence is mounting that the War in Ukraine is fraying the global security order. www.worldpoliticsreview.com/russia-war-u...

“From defense to industrial policy, officials familiar with the bloc’s inner workings say that the French president is calling the shots like rarely before.” www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

These strong words from President Zelenskyy are all the more admirable given that Israel authorities, for which I've blamed them, have never condemned the crimes against humanity & genocide committed by Russia against Ukraine. It's time Israel considered Moscow an enemy and armed Ukraine decisively.

More than 200 Ukrainian companies began developing drones, growing domestic production by a hundredfold in a year kyivindependent.com/shmyhal-more...
