❗️Hungary blocked an agreed €90bn EU loan for Ukraine intended to stabilize the country’s finances, the Financial Times reports. The borrowing requires unanimity among all 27 EU member states. An €8bn IMF program currently under negotiation is also conditional on Kyiv receiving the EU loan. #Ukraine

Get them out, they are actively sabotaging EU/NATO interests.

Unfortunately Magyar is just the same as Orban. In Dutch. He is not pro EU nor pro Ukraine. Just another money grifter. They just checked what he did in EU. Just a conservative who beats his wife because she is more successful and then betrays her. bsky.app/profile/anne...

1/ Leaked messages and photographs from a senior Russian general show his role in the murder, torture and abuse of captured Ukrainian, some of whom had their ears cut off. The messages illustrate how extreme brutality has been normalised in the Russian army. ⬇️

Vovchansk direction: Ukrainian forces regained control over the remaining part of Hrafs'ke, Prylipka and advanced along the Siverskyi Donets River into the forest area towards Synelnykove. From Tsehelne, the AFU is trying to remove Russian forward units in Lyman. AFU regained: ~15.03km²

🇮🇹🇺🇦 Meloni on Ukraine: We are still very far from resolving the main issue, namely the territories over which Russia continues to assert claims that I consider absolutely unreasonable.

There is something diabolical about bombing people at five in the morning. If you think you’ve had bad wake‑ups in your life, trust me, nothing compares to the horror and confusion of waking to the deafening boom of an exploding missile. I fucking hate russia!

OTD in 2022 Kremlin spokesman said "Russia has never attacked anyone in its history". Russia became the world's largest country by entirely peaceful means. 4 days later we invaded Ukraine.

wow, thanks! 🙏

Just saw it this morning and my reaction was the same as yours: Wow. 😁👍

This is yet another wakeup call for European leadership to communicate more clearly, take proactive measures against propaganda, and be more consistent in the decisions they make. Otherwise, Europe is likely to be in a difficult situation in a few years. Source: www.politico.eu/europe-poll-...

No matter what he said publicly, Trump worked hard to limit Ukrainian access to Patriot anti air capabilities as much as he politically could. Result: more Ukrainian dead. That is what the US government is doing today and it is only one case study. There are more open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Helaas, onterechte hoop dat Magyar het beter gaat doen dan Orban. Zijn gedrag in EU met Tisza laat dat nu al zien. Hopelijk wordt nu eens wel tijdig gereageerd. In één zin: Conservatieve ruziemaker die zijn vrouw slaat en nergens blijk geeft het met Orban oneens te zijn www.ftm.nl/artikelen/ho...

I can say from personal experience that Putin is threatened by strong women. As I argue in a new piece in @foreignaffairs.com, he and his fellow autocrats have reason to fear us: Defending women's rights and combating authoritarianism is the same fight. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Russian invalids will be used as martyrs. Russia bribed their way in. That's why Sebastin Coe was not selected - he would never have given in. The Rhodesian choice Kirsty Coventry for head of IOC is easy to manipulate. Like FIFA. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...

The EU’s sports commissioner won’t be going to the opening ceremony of the Paralympics over a decision to allow athletes from Russia and Belarus to fly their national flags.

Ukraine urges boycott of 2026 Paralympics opening ceremony if Russian and Belarusian flags are raised

💵 Four of them said that Moscow is using the negotiations with the participation of the United States to promote the topic of lifting sanctions and establishing business relations. 🎭 What happened in Geneva this week is not negotiations, but "the theater of negotiations."

🇩🇪 "I see almost no chance of a quick end to the war through negotiations," — Merz ⚖️ Merz believes that the war will end only when one of the two sides is exhausted. 🇪🇺 Merz's opinion is shared by the heads of intelligence of 5 European states, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity.

Europe needs to be aware that Russia uses "negotiations" as part of its war strategy.

The negotiations need to stop and renewed focus needs to be on providing Ukraine with what it needs to defeat Russia. “Negotiations” take us away from ending the war.

🇲🇩🇺🇦 Moldova reveals Russian plan to eliminate Ukrainian public figures A group of Moldovan police and Ukrainian law enforcement agencies is investigating the preparation of the murder of several prominent figures in Ukraine, reports NewsMaker.md

Yeah hindsight is 20/20. Where were you in the 1990s when those of us were screaming into the void at you idiots in Washington to do just that? But no, instead you forced Ukraine to hand over its nukes to the kremlin. Brilliant. But hey, now you can cash in on your past myopia. It's blood money tho.

a dangerous gap that Russia quickly exploited. In 2008, Bush tried to fast-track Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, but France and Germany blocked it Ukraine is an incredibly rich and powerful country that is striving to become truly European and Western - while rejecting Putin’s aggressive nationalism

John Bolton: Our biggest mistake in the 1990s and during the Bush administration was leaving Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus in a gray zone - not pushing harder for their eventual NATO membership. Eastern and Central Europeans were begging for protection from Russia. We expanded NATO but left

Trump says that everyone loves Witkoff and praises him for his ability to listen to Putin’s historical lectures for hours. Truly a "very useful" skill.
