Just to be clear, Ukraine is not trying to attack Hungary, as Orban claims. It’s Hungary that is trying to obtain information from Ukraine and pass it on to Russia.

I’d be ashamed to be praised by one of Putin’s pawns. I hope Hungarians see who is backing their prime minister.

[Opinie] "Kiev zou de verplichte militaire dienstplicht moeten uitbreiden naar vrouwen tussen de 25 en 60 jaar voor aangewezen ondersteunende functies buiten de frontlinie die momenteel door mannen worden vervuld, zoals logistiek, medische ondersteuning, communicatie en administratie."

China is Russia's biggest enabler. Beijing is single-handedly keeping the Russian war machine alive with massive economic bailouts and a constant flow of drone components. They are actively funding the continuation of the war

MFA of #Ukraine: Climate damage,though less evident in daily reports,is one of the devastating consequences of Russia’s war against Ukraine Over 4yrs,the full-scale invasion has generated more than 311mln tonnes of CO₂equivalent,according to the Initiative on Greenhouse Gas Accounting of War(IGGAW)

There is barely a difference between a European who supports Trump and one who supports Putin or Xi. All three want a weak, divided, and subservient Europe. Cheering for any of them means you are actively rooting against your own continent. It is pure betrayal

According to Stephen M. Walt, the US has shifted from a benevolent hegemony to a predatory hegemony. He argues that Trump uses US’s dominant position to extract concessions, economic benefits, and displays of submission from both allies and adversaries, operating within a zero-sum framework. ⤵️

4yrs after the start of the full-scale war,about 20% of Ukraine’s territory remains under Russian control,where between 3&5 million people live. While Russian state TV shows footage of Mariupol&Avdiivka being rebuilt,the reality for many residents is harsh: no heating in -20°C, water shortages

1/ Russia has wasted the last four years by failing to develop its own satellite Internet system, say many Russian warbloggers, which led to its ultimately disastrous dependency on Starlink. The 'Vostok Battalion' Telegram channel laments the missed opportunities. ⬇️

The bad news for Russia is its economic suffering is only starting. War costs are devouring the budget. Worse, the military is stripping the country of its workforce. You cannot run a country when you send your entire labor pool to the trenches

Lauren Boebert is asked to define “inflation.” It does not go well.

In early 2026, relations between Kyiv, Budapest, and Bratislava deteriorated sharply due to the suspension of Russian oil transit through Ukraine via the southern branch of the Druzhba oil pipeline⤵️

Waarom de Russische aanvallen op 🇺🇦 energie-infrastructuur ook een aanval zijn op de Oekraïense economie:

“The warnings preceded the Pentagon’s decision this week to put xAI at the center of some of the nation’s most sensitive and secretive operations by agreeing to allow its chatbot Grok to be used in classified settings.” What could go wrong?

Autocrats and hostile actors constantly attack the EU and complain about European red tape. That is honestly the biggest endorsement of EU regulation you could ask for. If it makes them mad, it is working

Trump’s been denying the affordability crisis. Meanwhile, January PPI just came in hotter than expected at 2.9% YoY / core 3.6%. Data don’t lie.

Latvian MEP @rihardskols.bsky.social posts an open letter in response to a similar gesture by Hungary's PM. Viktor Orbán's original is also attached here for reference in case you missed it yesterday.

During the Russian attack on February 26, #Ukraine intercepted only 4 out of 11 Iskander-M ballistic missiles. One Iskander-M carries a 500–700 kg warhead and flies roughly 7,000–9,000 km/h. ☝️ Intercepting ballistics is not a gap you close quickly — not even after 4 years of full-scale war.

This is quite a shift in opinion.

A local ceasefire has been implemented around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Enerhodar. The IAEA says it's to facilitate repairs.

If the people actively trying to destabilize Europe spend all their time crying about EU regulations, those regulations are doing exactly what they were designed to do

"Whatever the politics may be, Russia is still better. Yes, it’s hard - but where is it easy?" A Russian woman from central Novosibirsk, who lives in a barrack, says that in Germany "they have problems with water and fuel - people are freezing and cutting back on everything." 📹: Current Time

The Far Right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has triggered security fears in Berlin after officially requesting information on vulnerabilities in NATO defences — insight that would prove useful to the Kremlin. Quislings. Ban them.

1/2 I used the word genocide again in the first post today. Many feeble politicians try to make excuses for why it's not technically genocide. But I urge them to look at this from Kostiantynivka. I've not been able to verify the video, but it's officially released by Ukraine.

It's now over 4 years since state news agency RIA Novosti published an article celebrating the success of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, realised their mistake, and deleted it. The original is here web.archive.org/web/20220226...; translation is here: threadreaderapp.com/thread/14980...

Eleven years ago, in 2015, Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was killed in Moscow, not far from the Kremlin. This is a speech he gave in 2014. If Nemtsov were still alive, history might have taken a different course.

Russia is burning its economic future to fund today. The financial costs of the war are spiraling, and the frontlines are actively cannibalizing the civilian workforce. It will only get worse from here

A very special military operation

Met AI-gemanipuleerde beelden van een nietsvermoedende Britse hoogleraar verschenen "in een nieuwe golf van aan Rusland gelinkte nepvideo's die de afgelopen maanden op sociale media circuleerden".

Poor Viktor can’t get his Russian oil so he can have his country finance Russia’s murder machine.

There are two explanations for the Trump Admin’s Russia’s policy: 1. This admin is secretly aligned with Putin and lying about that to the world and the American people, or 2. they are incredibly naive fools who ignore overwhelming evidence that contradicts their worldview.

Fake ‘patriots’ turn out to be russian assets, a.k.a. traitors. Again. #AfD

When is someone going to investigate the real fraud in our govt? The big fraud?

Marlo Mihkelson, Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Estonian Parliament @markomihkelson.bsky.social: This is not an AI-generated, Hollywood-style horror. This is the reality in Ukraine, Kostyantynivka right now. This is how Russia is using its “precision” ammunition.

That’s funny, coming from Elon Musk, who constantly appeases Russia and China

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has emailed staff urging those wishing to leave the country to depart "today”. He warns of likely high demand for flights from Ben Gurion Airport and stresses the importance of a rapid exit. NYT has seen the email.

It’s coming

Mensen uitkleden, nazipropaganda en kinderporno zijn verboden! Dit kabinet en Brussel moeten veel harder optreden tegen Elon en X.
