In Germany you've got guys like @nroettgen.bsky.social who got everything right about Russia and warned about growing danger from the very beginning. And guys who downplayed it constantly until it was obvious how wrong they were. 1/2

Europe must defend Europe.

When the "leader of the free world" is trying to make the unlawfully attacked country his Thanksgiving turkey that he's not going to pardon and is planning to share with the attacker instead.

🔸The "front line" in Ukraine has disappeared. It's now a 20-30 km "kill zone" where everything is visible to drones. Soldiers hide in small "burrows," playing hide-and-seek with death. This is the new face of modern warfare. texty.org.ua/projects/116...

Those minutes until you find your child after the kindergarten is shelled. If you need to explain what hell is, this is it. The world's biggest child kidnapper, Putin, hit a kindergarten in Kharkiv. There are injured children. There is a fire in the kindergarten.

Sehr gut, dass die Nachrichtendienste zu Russlands Kriegführung gegen uns öffentlich angehört werden und sehr gut, dass sie deutlich sprechen. Die „Leute nicht beunruhigen zu wollen“, war der falsche Ansatz. Offenheit und Klarheit helfen.

This deserves *way* more attention than it’s getting Reform’s former Wales leader admits he received corrupt payments in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament to promote Russia’s interests in #Ukraine.

The sooner Western European politicians actually realize that we have been at war with Russia for the past 4 years the better.

@sanshiro.bsky.social Disseminating knowledge about the activities and modus operandi of autocratic intelligence agencies targeting academia is essential to defending academic freedom and integrity. @aseees.bsky.social @basees.bsky.social @dgoberlin.bsky.social @apsa.bsky.social @chronicle.com

Western bands that remove their music from Spotify because they believe it profits from war, while simultaneously keeping it on the Russian platform Yandex Music, perfectly illustrate the kind of stupidity bred by decades of anti-Western subversion.

We would also wish that the drone attack on Poland was a mistake. But it wasn’t. And we know it.

Russia continues to operate in the "Liminal zone" with actions both below and above the attribution threshold. Each ambiguous action they perform helps them slowly raise the response threshold allowing them to perform more damaging actions without a strong response.

For Kremlin voting for populists means being weak and divided and that means being easy prey. Dixi

Anyone who hopes that casting votes for AfD or BSW will help to be friends with Russia is up to rude awakening. Trump's and Nawrocki's examples show that Moscow will feel itself more empowered and its actions will get even bolder and more aggressive than now.

Is it worth mentioning that electing populist presidents with more favorable stance on Russia leads only to more hostile Russian behaviour towards those democracies that on their part react softer than their allies lead by "weaker" liberal politicians? That's why Russia supports populists worldwide.

The scale of Russia's overnight attack on the civilian population of Ukraine. This morning, there are dead and injured all over the country.

In Kyiv, people bring flowers to a makeshift memorial in memory of the children whose lives were taken by Russia today. Russian missiles killed 18 people, including 4 children. 📷 State Emergency Service

The news about Russian drones over German military bases and critical infrastructure is actually not a news anymore. But what strikes me the most is the "Gelassenheit" or serenity of media and even the German defence minister Pistorius about it. 1/2 www.tagesschau.de/inland/medie...

127 russische Kampfdrohnen im ukrainischen Luftraum.

2/2. Everyone using the phrase "land swap" should please specify which Russian territory Ukraine would be getting. So far it’s a euphemism for forcing Ukraine to give things up to Russia.

Russia’s “Kherson Human Safari” has gone on for well over a year with limited outrage from the international community or media coverage. Every day they use drones to specifically target civilians for “target practice” & often post videos of them doing it proudly. Today they targeted a 1 year old.

Horrifying video from Ukraine's southern region of Kherson as Russian drones hunt a family working their agricultural fields, destroying their truck.

North Korea can afford to help Russia but the US can’t afford to help Ukraine? Give me a frigging break! Anyone claiming the US can’t send air défense weapons to Ukraine because it needs them for its own défense is not a patriot but a gaslighting liar who erodes US power by projecting weakness.

Another day, another devastating Russian air strike on Kyiv. This time, 6 people have been killed and at least 19 others wounded as search and rescue operations are underway here in the Shevchenkivskyi district.

Tonight, Russian terrorists killed 14 and injured 60 people in Kyiv alone. There were many direct hits on residential buildings. Many people are still under the rubble. But for the rest of the world, it's just another statistic of the Russian war crimes.

This is a Ukrainian defender of Mariupol -- before and after russian captivity. Torture of POWs isn't an exception. It's a policy. russia systematically violates international law. What are the consequences? Where is justice? Act now. Act while it's still not too late. Lives depend on it.

Last night Russia attacked a European capital with ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones. Today the story barely registers in international news headlines. Western normalization and acceptance of Russian atrocities in Ukraine is what makes them possible.

Russians continue to hunt civilians with drones strikes not only in Kherson, but now in Mykolaiv and Sumy as well. Today, Russians struck a van full of mostly women, in the Sumy region, killing 9. Russian culture is this.

Russia's war is now almost entirely aimed at the massacre of Ukraine's civilians, nothing to do with military - accompanied with a Russian disinformational blitz on western audiences to present events as having military aims. Its genocide, and its escalating, every day.

Thinking you'll achieve peace by rewarding invasions is like thinking you'll cure alcoholism with vodka.

While claiming to seek peace, Russia launched a deadly airstrike on Kyiv. This isn't a pursuit of peace, it’s a mockery of it. The real obstacle is not Ukraine but Russia, whose war aims have not changed.

Jan Marsalek, a spymaster for Russia, hired by the Kremlin, plotted to use private armies to control migration from Africa into Europe. He planned to create a 15,000-strong band of mercenaries to control the border in the key migration route through Libya. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03...

Taking a critical look at the 🇷🇺 anti-Putin camp is important. The romanticisation of Russia was one of the reasons why the West got it so horribly wrong. We must not repeat that mistake, and this includes taking the responsibility of Russian society seriously. Here's my take on Kara-Murza: 3/3

This morning, Russian cruelty struck again, killing men, women and children in the city of Sumy. A barbaric attack, made even more vile as people gathered peacefully to celebrate Palm Sunday.

Another massacre by Russians - the city center of Sumy hit with ballistic missiles, aimed at killing Ukrainians crowding to church services for Palm Sunday.

The right’s “bastion of Christian values” just once again killed large amounts of innocent civilians by launching a ballistic missile at a city center during Palm Sunday. The day after Witkoff was following Putin around like an obedient little puppy.

Horrible videos coming out of Sumy now. This is simply fascist Russian terror against civilians.

Things that US allies cannot unsee: US cutting off intelligence sharing for Ukraine, exposing an already victimized ally; EU being hit with tariffs like an enemy while Russia is spared; being bullied and then being invited to join the US against China. Thanks, but no thanks.

This gruesome photo was taken today in Kryvyi Rih. It's the coffin of three-year-old Tymofiy, who was killed by a Russian missile on Friday. Tymofiy is one of nine Ukrainian children killed in this attack. 1/

This is what the ceasefire Putin promised Trump looks like. Russia is shelling Kyiv with missiles. People are hiding in the metro.

Death toll as a result of a Russian ballistic missile strike on Kryvyi Rih rises to 18. Half of them, nine, are children. Absolutely heartbreaking. At the same time, Russian envoy in DC talks deals with the Trump's team. Russia senses impunity and will get more aggressive. Ukrainian kids will pay

Grieving parents held their son’s body—one of six children killed in Russia’s latest strike on Ukrainian civilians. The missile hit near a playground, according to officials.

Tragic and inhumane images coming out from Kryvyi Rih. Another reckless Russian attack struck a crowded residential area, reportedly killing at least 14, including 6 children. Russia continues to destroy Ukraine, no interest in peace.

The scene of the Russian ballistic missile strike on the city of Kryvyi Rih in which 6 kids and 11 adults were just massacred. Residential neighborhood, hundreds of kilometers from the front, zero military objective

If you ever wondered how the KGB manipulated foreigners and got them to repeat Soviet propaganda, spend some time listening to Steve Witkoff talk about his wonderful conversations with Vladimir Putin.

Witkoff's repeating of Kremlin lies about "russian-speakers" wanting to "join Russia" is truly chilling. This is nothing less than carte blanche for Putin's genocidal imperialism. Hearing Americans talk like this should be an electric shock for Europe, not a wakeup call.

We're now at the point where American state secretary has to assure that USA won't provide Russia any military support to help Moscow subjugate Ukraine.

True leadership means respect for partners and allies. Even for the smaller and weaker ones. Never arrogance. Dear friends, think about it.

Trump's Ukraine policy right now: let's make Ukraine surrender to russia while also giving us some resources. And let's get rid of Zelensky because my friend Putin doesn't like him and also because he didn't submit to me like all the Republicans did a long time ago.

just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.
