Yes. So?!!!!!!... Whose fault is it?..... Oh yes!.... The invader! And who is the invader?.....

Last year, Israeli drone-making company Xtend secured a multi-million dollar contract with the Defense Department. Now, Eric Trump is joining a $1.5B investment deal to take Xtend public. Do you see the problem?

D'abord, sauver les civils ukrainiens, ceux bombardés par la russie avec #SkyShield, et ceux des territoires occupés, massacrés, torturés, violés, déportés, enrôlés de force pour les plus jeunes par l'ennemi russe.

Such a surprise.

❗️❗️ Putin is ready to fight for up to 2 years to gain full control over Donetsk region, — NYT writes that the Russian dictator is confident of his success. And the shelling of the energy sector of the rear cities, in his opinion, provides Russia with additional advantages.

That's a worrisome scenario.

⚡️ Geneva negotiations progress uneven — Zelensky highlights military gains, political gaps. "We can see that some groundwork has been laid, but positions remain different, as the negotiations were difficult," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

🇩🇪🇺🇸 Germany plans to massively expand its foreign intelligence agency’s powers, fearing the U.S. could halt intelligence sharing under Trump, - POLITICO Berlin wants the BND to gain authority for sabotage, offensive cyber ops, AI surveillance and broader espionage.

Another threat.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: First of all, about the massive strike. There were 29 missiles of various types, and 25 were shot down. This is an important result of our air defense. Even the day of the start of the next formats in Geneva - Russia meets with a strike. This very clearly demonstrates what Russia wants

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Zelensky said it was “not fair” that Trump publicly pressures Ukraine — not Russia — to make concessions, - Axios “I hope it is just his tactics and not the decision.”

❗️🇺🇦 Zelensky instructed his team to organize a meeting with Putin in Geneva, because a personal meeting is the best way to achieve a breakthrough in territorial issues, — Axois

President Zelensky told Axios that Ukrainian society will not allow him to hand territory to Russia. He said it is unfair that Trump publicly calls on Kyiv to make concessions. Any agreement must be put to a referendum, and he rejects Russian sovereignty over Donbas. #Ukraine

The world watches in horror, while many Americans face denialism or are apathetic, towards the collapse of the American Empire. The great state of Minnesota provided the blueprint for how to resist authoritarianism. Please, utilize it. Thank you, Germany for your support! 🇺🇸💙🇩🇪

So we launched an unprovoked military operation, seized and sold a foreign country’s natural resources, and stashed the profits in a bank in Qatar. The Energy Secretary calls this “diplomacy,” but I don’t think that word means what he thinks it means.

I can't believe that even our President has to spell it out, but pressure must be applied to the aggressor, not the victim.

🇺🇸❗️🇺🇦 The US refused to allow the production of Patriot missiles in Europe, - Zelensky The US has not issued licenses for the production of missiles for Patriot air defense systems in Europe, despite promises.

Aligning with the Single Market isn't enough - fully joining both the Single Market and Customs Union would reduce duplication, cut costs, and help UK businesses trade more easily and confidently across Europe. The longer we delay taking action, the longer businesses are going to suffer.

Russia sustained around 9,000 more battlefield losses in Ukraine than it was able to replace in January, according to assessments from Western officials cited by Bloomberg.

A bilateral deal between U.S. President Donald Trump and Argentina's Javier Milei is calling into question hard-won protections for signature European products in the EU’s trade agreement with the Mercosur bloc.

So sad

Russie / Brève / Poutine a expulsé Sergueï Ivanov du Conseil de sécurité russe. En 2007, Ivanov était considéré comme un successeur potentiel de Poutine. (il était l'un des plus proches collaborateurs de Vladimir Poutine, avec qui il a travaillé au sein du KGB à Leningrad)

Another night with more than 400 vectors. Horror.

Horrible

Russia launched a night missile and drone attack using Tu 95MS bombers and Shahed UAVs. In Dnipro a fire damaged an administrative building and a car. In Odesa infrastructure and civilian sites were damaged and two people were injured. Explosions were reported in Burshtyn and Stryi. #Ukraine

California governor ‘a loser’, says Trump as state signs green energy deal with UK

🇨🇿🇺🇦 Czech President Petr Pavel said that an agreement to end the war in Ukraine is unlikely in the short term due to Russia's position. "History teaches us that one of the parties, which will be in an advantageous position, will always seek to continue the conflict, not end it," he noted.

“Now there is a new equation that you don’t really know who is your friend and who is your ally,” Kaja Kallas, the European Commission’s head of foreign and security policy, told us in an interview in Munich. Europe has learned a lesson from the crisis with the U.S. over Greenland, Kallas added.

The price the whole world will pay for having gone through the Trump era will be very high. That's just a tiny taste.

Horrible. The MAGA US is really doing everything it can to divide Europe.

Then their success is our failure. Trump's US and free democracies are on a path of radical opposition.
