If you care about Ukraine, Europe, the rules-based order, and international and humanitarian law, protest in front of the White House and US Embassies and Consulates around the world. Show bullying Ukraine and partnership with Russia will NOT be tolerated.

Russian war criminal Lavrov comes to Alaska in a sweatshirt with "USSR" in Russian on it. Given the multiple genocides committed by Moscow under the USSR (including the brutal Holodomor genocide against Ukrainians), its imperialist nature and character, this is a HOSTILE act.

Consider: If the United States believes it can make a deal about Ukraine over Ukraine's head, they won't hesitate to make a deal about another European state over its head in the future.

If Ukraine was freed to DEFEAT Russia militarily and politically IN Russia, then the war would be over. It's not like the Russian Army would keep fighting after their state collapses and their weapons and food supplies stop.... European security would be assured, too.

Ukraine surrendering is not peace. It is Ukrainian defeat and Russian victory.

Ahead of the Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska, recall that in July 2022, billboards with the slogan “Alaska is ours!” started appearing in the Russian Federation days after suggestions that Russia could reclaim Alaska from the US.

Putin is a wanted war criminal. The ICC issued a warrant for his arrest. And this evil, wanted, genocidal, authoritarian war criminal has still been invited to meet with the President of the United States, and on U.S. soil no less. The rules-based order is dead. 1/2

This isn’t a peace deal. This is rewarding Russian aggression under the false pretense of peace. Ukraine must resounding reject this surrender to Moscow.

Remember: EVERY single part of Russia's genocidal war against Ukraine is ILLEGAL. EVERY single bullet fired, bomb dropped, person killed - is a CRIME. There is not a single legitimate target for Russia in Ukraine. Not one. The war is illegal in every way, and every act is a crime.

The EU agreeing to 15% tariffs with the US is a clear sign that Europe sees that Russia poses a genuine threat to its security, and believes the appeasing Trump will buy US security. Appeasement never works. You'd think they'd have learned that lesson with Putin by now...

A leading, state run Russian media agency ran an article titled "There is no other option: no one should remain alive in Ukraine". We can be more than certain that this title was consciously and deliberately chosen by the editors to incite genocide of Ukrainians. 1/3

No, Russia didn't destroy and damage residential buildings, hospitals, and schools across Kyiv in another devastating attack on the capital to "test Trump's resolve". These Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities are part of a SYSTEMIC PATTERN to depopulate Ukraine. This is genocide.

Trump to Putin: "You've got ten days to stop waging war against Ukraine. And if you don't stop, I won't do anything."

"Nowhere is safe in Ukraine." "There is no safe place left in Ukraine.” Yet despite these dire words from the UN in the parallel reality of many western governments, Ukraine is SO safe that refugee programmes are being cut and people are being pushed back to Ukraine.

Despite the escalating humanitarian catastrophe resulting from Russia's relentless attacks on civilians, the UN has received only 34% of the planned $2.6 billion for aid to Ukraine in 2025. Millions of Ukrainians are not receiving critical aid. news.un.org/en/story/202...

Moscow is either preparing to attack Estonia - a NATO nation - or is making new attempts to intimidate NATO. Russia is moving electronic warfare systems 20km from Estonia against the backdrop of Zapad-2025 military drills in Belarus. www.eurointegration.com.ua/eng/news/202...

So the Patriot missiles which Trump promised Europe could purchase to send to Ukraine to defend civilians and civilian infrastructure won't be available until at least spring 2026. A year away. At best. Plenty of time for Russis to destroy Ukrainian cities. This is sickening.

Many people have expressed horror and disbelief at Russia's attacks on Kyiv's metro stations with civilians sheltering inside. Horror, I understand. Disbelief, perplexes me. Russia has shown the world for years that they have absolutely no lows on its savagery and barbarism. 1/5

Putin is a WANTED WAR CRIMINAL. The crime he is wanted for meets the legal test for GENOCIDE. War criminals waging wars of aggression and committing genocide don't belong at the negotiating table, but in court and then behind bars.

The evil, fascist Russian regime has no right to exist. It is a menace to world peace. It should be foreign policy priority number one to resoundingly defeat Russia militarily and politically. This evil regime has as much right to exist as Nazi Germany did - NONE.

Russian attacks on Kyiv subway stations where civilians are sheltering from missile and drone attacks on their homes have a two-fold purpose: To suffocate the people as they seek refuge from attacks on their homes above; and destroy Kyiv's metro system, which, if successful, will cripple the city.

Ukraine CAN win Russia's war of aggression against it. Russia has been waging this war for 11.5 YEARS. In nearly 12 years, Russia has NOT been able to defeat Ukraine. But in that time, Ukraine has achieved INCREDIBLE military feats. With support, Ukraine WILL defeat Russia. 1/3

I understand why the awe-inspiring heroism and courage Ukrainians have demonstrated in the face of horrific appeals to the public, but Ukrainians are HUMAN. Their stories of pain, suffering, and trauma deserve as much attention as standing down tanks. 1/4

Russia

In 2022, Ukrainian civilians barricaded the road to the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (Europe's largest NPP) to defend it against Russian forces. They faced Russian tanks totally unarmed. Yet NATO nations are afraid to shoot down UNMANNED Russian drones and missiles in Ukraine. 1/5

Russia will be defeated in Ukraine when we defeat Russia IN Russia.

Here is some needed perspective: Russia has dropped FAR more bombs on Ukraine than Nazi Germany dropped on England. Russia has struck the capital with more than Germany did. Russia deliberately strikes civilians each time. Yet Russia is treated as a lesser evil.

I am so tired of this sh*t. The western world has OBLIGATIONS to help Ukraine defeat Russia. Kyiv was strong-armed into giving up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for security. RU is committing GENOCIDE. Russia poses an existential threat to the world. It's the right thing to do.

No matter how big the statements, no matter how great the recognition that Russia is an evil regime which poses a threat to the world, everything short of commitment to fighting shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine to defeat Russia is effectively empty rhetoric and political theatre.

Reminder: Ukraine, in its LEGAL right to self-defence against ILLEGAL Russian aggression and genocide, may strike EVERY single military target across Russia, including the command and control centre of the Kremlin. Attacks on Moscow are not off limits, but essential.

To those marvelling over the "impressive" "change of tone" Trump has taken regarding Ukraine: When your voter base turns against you for letting Ukrainian civilians be bombed in their beds, and when you don't want to be perceived as a "fool being played by Putin" YOU CHANGE TONE!

Patriots are short range defensive weapons. Will protect civilians. Won't change the course of war. When will they come? How many? 50 days is a LONG time for Russia to do horrific things and THEN come to the table with a "negotiated settlement". Things aren't as grand as they look.

Russia recognizes the extremist tettorist Taliban government of Afghanistan. The two supremely evil regimes are natural partners - birds of a feather, and all. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you are only going to read one article on the reality of the Russian threat to Europe, make it this one by Mykhailo Gonchar. It's brilliant. eutoday.net/h-hour-russi...

5,438 drone strikes and 230 missile attacks in the month of June alone. This is genocide. And Trump is ensuring Ukraine cannot defend itself against it.

The United States does not want Ukraine to be able to defend itself against Russian aggression and genocide. This is beyond evil. Washington is sacrificing Ukrainians and Ukraine to fascist Russia. Europe, you're next.

Brilliant, true MUST READ on Russia's threat to Europe. Every single politician in Europe should read this piece by Centre for Global Studies President, Michael Gonchar. Put it through google translate to read it in your language: zn.ua/ukr/war/chas...

The United States halts critical weapons supplies to Ukraine. The Trump administration is working in overdrive to coerce Kyiv to accept a forced capitulation to fascist Moscow. This is absolutely evil. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Macron talked to Putin. Long gone is "Coalition of the Willing" for Ukraine. Now what is Macron going to lead? Europe's Coalition of Capitulation to Moscow?

Canada sanctioning Russian conductor Valery Gergiev is "powerful recognition of a long-ignored truth: that the arts, like every other sector of public life, are deeply entangled with power, propaganda, and accountability." www.harpsichord-hotsauce.com/post/from-po...

What surviving a Russian attack looks like for many Ukrainians:

Where is the line on Russian evil before the free world acts decisively to stop Moscow? How many Ukrainian must be killed? Lives destroyed? How much infrastructure? How many homes? Schools? Hospitals? Food stores? Forest? Farmland? How many cities must be erased from existence?

To overcome the roadblock of a real lack of leadership in the West to help Ukraine defeat Russia, Kyiv must take unprecedented steps. By asserting its international agency, Ukraine can help bridge the perceived gap between Ukrainian & western interests. 1/6 www.eurointegration.com.ua/eng/articles...

Will people finally stop calling this a "shadow fleet" now?

Israeli official says Iran has launched missiles at U.S. bases in Iraq. While Trump has been running around telling Americans the US isn't going to be dragged into any war, he is plunging them into it. Are Americans ready?

The US bombs a regime that *threatens* to make a nuclear bomb, but the regime that threatens to USE actual nuclear bombs is not bombed.

Amazing that Trump floats regime change in Iran, but not its fascist partner Russia which has supported Tehran's nuclear development.

"We must defeat Iran because they have nuclear weapons! But we must not defeat Russia because they have nuclear weapons!" The hypocrisy is laid out bare for all to see.
