Spannend, wie viele solche Held:innen gibt es wohl noch, von denen noch niemand gehört hat?

⚡️Putin once again claims Kupiansk has been under Russian control for weeks, even though President Zelenskyy visited the city just last week.

We think the legal risks are overstated. A strong case would go to arbitration under Belgiums investment treaty with Russia (SCC or UNCITRAL). But Russia has not recognised these tribunals in past cases. Suing Euroclear in a Moscow court instead signals weakness—it can’t recover seized assets. 6/

D-Day for Europe to shore up Ukraine funding. As EU leaders huddle in Brussels, Stephen Paduano and I analyse the reparations loan in a new piece. This is not only a "There Is No Alternative" (TINA) moment—but the financial and legal risks are also manageable. 1/ www.cer.eu/insights/ukr...

"Wenn diese Probleme mit militärischen Niederlagen in der Ukraine zusammenfallen, wird das Regime kollabieren", so Andreas Umland. "Dann könnte gar der russische Staat kollabieren, so wie […] 1917 oder 1991 […] Mit jedem weiteren Kriegstag wird dieses Szenario wahrscheinlicher."

France’s far-right leader Jordan Barrella getting openly clowned for Trump bootlicking on national TV.

Ich muss es mir immer noch auf der Zunge zergehen lassen, dass in Berlin eine Delegation der USA gegenüber der Ukraine und Europa die Interessen Russlands durchzusetzen versucht - und sich danach von Russland ein erneutes NJET abholen wird. Ein bemerkenswerter Tiefpunkt der US-Selbstachtung.

any security guarantees for Ukraine without getting its own that contradict them. As I’ve said before, they think if the Americans can get Ukraine to surrender they’ll take that, but anything else is off the books. They’re going to say nyet, because Putin sees small advances on the battlefield.

that Trump is ever engaged in the talks and wants a solution he farms out to others to achieve. Yet the enormous elephant in the room nobody seems to want to mention is Russia. It’s refused point blank to accept reparations, not having its territorial claims recognised, and it certainly won’t accept

#UkrainianView A WORLD OF ‘YES’ MEN TELLS PUTIN ITS A WAR HE CAN WIN BUT MOST KNOW BETTER Trump and his acolytes do Putin’s bidding and fall for every trick he plays on them. They tell him he has all the cards. Generals sit and tell him live in TV that entire towns like Kupyansk have been taken. He

KUPYANSK IS A HORRIBLE EMBARRASSMENT FOR RUSSIA Ukraine never lied about the situation in KUPYANSK - not once. Yet three times Gerasimov told Putin that they had taken the city. They never took it. They said they had taken it so completely that they invited journalists to visit it hosted by the

An 11-year-old boy, disfigured by a russian missile, orphaned, forced through 36 surgeries, is speaking in 🇪🇺 Parliament asking us not to give up. If this child refuses to surrender to the moscow-centered terrorist enterprise, what excuse do the rest of us have? russia won’t stop, we must stop it!

"Ukraine has no right under its Constitution, international law, or moral law to give up its territories." - Zelensky.

What I see is that there are so many people trying to undermine Europe. Why? Because the EU is strong. And we are working to make it even stronger. We have taken bold steps to build the Europe of defence and enhance our strategic autonomy.

I honestly don't understand why any European institution, EU-official, decision-maker of an EU member country etc. is still posting on X. It's owner literally campaigns for your destruction, despises your values and rules and you still provide his platform with reach and relevancy? Anybody home??

Putin hasst die EU. Trump hasst die EU. Elon Musk hasst die EU. So schlecht kann die EU doch nicht sein.

Watching Melenchon histrionically calling for an understanding w "the russians" is pure rage bait. Not only does he disregard Ru's crimes, he speaks as if Ukr right to exist is irrelevant. The gall of claiming he stands for equality/human rights while calling to consign Ukr to Ru occupation!

Russland verschleppt zehntausende ukrainische Kinder in Umerziehungslager und nach Nordkorea. Als Kindersoldaten sollen Ukrainer gegen Ukrainer kämpfen. Wie wurden früher derartige Kriegsverbrechen beendet? Jedenfalls nicht durch Zuschauen. www.t-online.de/nachrichten/...

Das nächste Mal wenn mir jemand aus dem konservativen Spektrum erklären will dass die Dems ja nur wegen ihrer „Woke LGBTQ Agenda“ die Wahl verloren haben, krame ich diesen Post wieder raus. Einfach nur Menschenverachtend.

Eine Statue terrorisiert die CDU: Für den Bundeskanzler ist das hier „vollkommen geschmacklos“. Die CDU spricht von “Provokation” und “Spaltung” – wegen einer Gedenkstätte für Walter Lübcke! Es sei “würde- und pietätlos“. Die Partei ist auf einen Baum geklettert und kommt nicht mehr runter.

Also den Kapitalismus haben wir dann bald durchgespielt, bin gespannt was danach kommt… #palantir

Putin is attacking Europe and threatening them with war because Europe has his money and the only way he can get his money is convincing the Americans the Europeans are the reason there isn’t “peace” and getting the Americans to get his money for him www.politico.eu/article/jare...

PS: Gewinnt russland, fällt diese Produktion, das ganze Wissen, und das Wissen, wie man diese Waffen optimal einsetzt, in seine Hände. Das nächste Ziel sind dann WIR! Und die Ukrainer werden gezwungen, das alles gegen uns einzusetzen. DAS sollte uns am meisten Angst machen! Echte Angst! ☝️🤷‍♂️
