President Zelenskyy offered help in how to deal with Russian ships near Greenland: „If Russian ships are sailing freely around Greenland, Ukraine can help. We have the expertise and weapons to ensure that not one of those ships remains. They can sink near Greenland just as they do near Crimea.“

A popular appointment in Ukraine today. New Defence Min Mykhailo Fedorov invited @sternenko to become an advisor on increasing the use of drones at the front, saying "Our goal is to help quickly and significantly increase the scale of the destruction of Russians."

Putin spends millions from Russia's budget to subject Ukrainians to a life without heating, electricity and water during a harsh winter. He wants hospitals, schools, nurseries to stop working. He strives to freeze the homes where kids and adults, the elderly and the sick live.

"Stayed little back" you absolute baboon?

There is no pre-Trump world to which we can return. That has all been washed away. And there is no near future that is not defined by him and the cataclysm of his rule. My latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/after-trump-...

which means that replacements for future losses will need to mostly be covered by the newly produced vehicles and that turns into really bad prospects for Russia to wage offensive war(s) at this (let alone larger) scale in the future.

,as indicated by the mininal current AFV use in Ukraine and terrible losses when mechanized assaults happen. I also dont think Russia will ever be able to rebuild its resever stockpile

/thread/ There is an ongoing debate about the current size of the Russian AFV fleet, losses it has taken, new production level storage+reactivation, etc. Here is my take on the topic

❗️Zelenskyy calls for the creation of "United Armed Forces" of Europe These forces alone can truly defend Europe, believes the President of Ukraine. He also added that today no one sees NATO acting effectively.

⚡️French Navy boards Russia's 'shadow fleet' oil tanker in Mediterranean Sea, Macron says. "We will not tolerate any violation,” Emmanuel Macron said. "We are determined to uphold international law and to ensure the effective enforcement of sanctions."

Another of Russia's "shadow tankers" down. This time, by France.

❗️❗️Tomorrow a trilateral meeting (Ukraine, USA, and Russia) is planned in the UAE, which will last two days, – Zelenskyy.

🇺🇦👏 Zelensky received a standing ovation at Davos. Peace negotiations: I think this is like the last mile, which is very difficult. You need Ukraine's independence because tomorrow you may have to defend your way of life.

Evropský parlament dnes přijal usnesení, ve kterém jednoznačně a ostře odsoudil brutální represe íránského režimu proti masovým protivládním protestům, které od prosince probíhají v celé zemi. 🇮🇷 A komunisti se zdrželi v hlasování a europoslanec fašistické SPD byl proti. Jak jinak, že?

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has downplayed the risk that President Donald Trump’s aggressive posturing might trigger a selloff of US bonds by European investors, observes Desmond Lachman. Markets tell a different story. bit.ly/4bN5QjH

This will complete the Tankie Cuban circle jerk. The US was wrong to try regime change in Cuba in the 1960s but it means Russia isn't wrong to try it in Ukraine now but it's still wrong for USA to do it even though it isn't wrong for Russia. Everything is connected.

So far, the US appears to be extremely weak in Davos, and many other players have decided to punch them. Only move that may be positive for them in future is the Board for peace Trump made.

“People are saying that Russia wants to continue the war because they want more territory. That is rubbish. Russia has to continue the war because this war is too big for Putin to fail.” Finnish President Stubb

"When we speak about victory, we must honestly say this: victory is the collapse of the Russian Empire, and defeat is the complete occupation of Ukraine through its collapse. Everything else is just a continuation of the war."

Putin clearly isn’t scared of Trump. Trump is so weak that Putin actually sees him as an opportunity to escalate his war

Good. This is going to be a disaster. The less involved we are in it, the better.

In fact, I believe the Ukrainian Army is already part of European security — de facto. Europe must recognize this reality. We must be united. A united Europe must stand together and be strong, because strength is the only language Putin’s new empire understands.

No individual European army can simply withdraw. As things stand, we are holding the line. Right now, more than one million troops are positioned along the borders of the European Union. This is the reality we are facing.

🇺🇦 Commander of Third Army Corps: Ukraine gave away the third-largest nuclear arsenal for international guarantees. We gave up our missiles to Russia; they later flew on us again. We must accept reality — the reality as it is. International law, unfortunately, does not function in this trench.

🇫🇮 Stubb: I don't agree with the narrative that claims Russia is winning militarily. Over the past 1,000 days, Russia has advanced by 1% of Ukrainian territory. The cost of that advance has been 1,000 dead soldiers per day — about 30,000 per month. These figures refer to the dead, not the wounded.

Prime Minister of Belgium Bart De Wever on frozen Russian assets: ◾️The Russian assets will remain immobilized until the end of the war. ◾️Let me be very clear about this. If it were up to me, every single euro of that money would be used for reparations and for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

Deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime, and Putin is no man of peace, Polish FM Sikorski said. "A large proportion of the people of Ukraine <...> depend - for heat and electricity - on these area heating plants"he said.
