Russia murdering children in #Ukraine. Again. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Russian forces, using drones, attacked a United Nations convoy delivering humanitarian aid in Ukraine. The very next day, they posted video evidence. This brazen, unlawful attack should remind governments of their responsibility to stand up for justice.

Heute früh wurde einer der in unserer Urgent Action genannten Personen, Babak Shahbazi, wegen angeblicher Spionage hingerichtet. Der Vorwurf war durch nichts belegt, das Verfahren grob unfair. Shahbazi wurde in Haft gefoltert & hatte monatelang keinen Zugang zu einem Anwalt. Er hinterlässt 2 Kinder.

Seit den #FrauLebenFreiheit Protesten, die vor drei Jahren begannen, machen die iranischen Behörden verstärkt von der #Todesstrafe als Mittel der Unterdrückung Gebrauch. Aktuell droht eine massive Hinrichtungswelle. Hier kann jede*r unsere Urgent Action unterstützen 👇 www.amnesty.de/mitmachen/ur...

A mother and her daughter spent the entire night in a shelter because of russian drones and missiles. When they came out in the morning, they saw the sky covered in smoke. Ukrainians have to spend nights in basements just to stay alive. Help protect them: u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

🇲🇩 Moldovan President Maia Sandu has warned that Russia is preparing an unprecedented interference campaign ahead of the country’s parliamentary elections scheduled for September.

🇺🇸🇨🇭🇺🇦 The U.S. will delay Patriot air defense deliveries to Switzerland in order to prioritize Ukraine, Swiss defense officials confirmed. Bern ordered five systems in 2022, with deliveries set for 2027. The Pentagon says Switzerland is among the countries affected by the reprioritization.

Death tall in russian attack on Dobropillia rises to 4. Search and rescue efforts are concluded. Russians struck the downtown market area of the city during busy early evening hours. Bastards.

Newly appointed Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal sets his priorities: full support for the Ukrainian soldier and raising the share of domestically produced weapons at the front from 40% to 50% within six months. He promises a fast, transparent, and effective ministry—built to win the war.

I won't debate the substance. I'm frustrated that so many people w zero prior or independent knowledge of details/context feel they can contribute to the debate. What is Moyn reviewing? He's regurgitating the arguments of his preferred side against the arguments of the side that irritates him.

Good thread by @joestieb.bsky.social on Sam Moyn’s new review article about the Russo-Ukrainian War. A few of my own thoughts in the thread. But also—why choose Vindman as a foil when other, arguably better, books exist, like @popovaprof.bsky.social’s? Is it just to dunk on Vindman’s anti-Trumpism?

I'm not surprised at all. But this means more Ukrainians will have to die.

Is NYPD assisting ICE now?

She is a tourist from Chile, and these cops left her teenage daughter on the streets of New York City alone. Why anybody would come to this country right now blows my mind.

How on earth can this country still hold the World Cup and Olympics next year??

Antrittsbesuch in Washington: Bundeskanzler Merz reist am 5. Juni zu Präsident Trump ins Oval Office. Mit den beiden Staatschefs, die Trump dort öffentlich demütigte, Selenskyj (Ukraine) und Ramaphosa (Südafrika), hat Merz in den vergangenen Tagen Gespräche geführt.

I can’t think of a presidency that has done more open and undeniable damage to this country, and the wider world, in such a short space of time, than this one. Shocking, despicable:

Mein neuester Artikel → Mehr als zwei Milliarden Euro für die Luftverteidigung der #Ukraine, endlich eine Beteiligung am dänischen Modell und mehr. Deutschland hat ein neues militärisches Hilfspaket im Wert von etwa fünf Milliarden Euro angekündigt. deaidua.org/news/de/2025...

My latest piece → More than €2 billion for the air defence of #Ukraine, finally a participation in the Danish model and more. Germany has announced a new military aid package worth around €5 billion euros. deaidua.org/news/2025/05...

Putin doesn't want peace. Russia cannot afford peace.

A writing on the wall of a cafe in Kharkiv. Our current life is in those four lines written by Vitalii Lisovytskyy: "Put on your warmest pants, Or your feet will get cold in the shelter. I have loved you long before the war, And I'll say that on Victory Day."

.......Russia and Ukraine will soon carry out a prisoner exchange based on the 1000-for-1000 formula. Both sides will present their vision of a potential ceasefire in detail, and negotiations will continue afterward

Russia delegation leader Medinsky made key statements: "We have taken note of the request for a meeting between the leaders of Russia and Ukraine. The negotiations have concluded, and we are generally satisfied.. 1/2

Wie schon gesagt: Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass Russland freiwillig auf seine Sommeroffensive verzichtet. Geht sie richtig schief, wird Moskau vielleicht das Ganze noch einmal überdenken. Mindestens bis Herbst sehe ich aber keine realistischen Möglichkeitsfenster für eine Waffenruhe.

Großer Gefangenenaustausch (1000/1000) wichtig. War aber so absolut zu erwarten, weil es die einzige Frage ist, die beiden Seiten nichts kostet. Sonst wird es nun paar weitere „Verhandlungsrunden“ geben mit ebenfalls nichtssagenden Ergebnissen. Auf den Kriegsverlauf werden sie keinen Einfluss haben.

🔴 The new German government has decided to significantly limit the release of information regarding future arms shipments to Ukraine.

We’ve been fighting for her health for two weeks. Ten days of antibiotics, every day visits to the vet (sometimes, twice a day). And finally, I can say she is better 🤩 Victory

If Putin refuses to halt the fighting, Trump and I will step up military support for Ukraine — Starmer.

Ukraine is running out of air defense interceptors. But they've found a solution: destroy Russia's missiles before they launch. 🧵 euromaidanpress.com/2025/05/10/d...

Diese Täter-Identifikation, die Stegner hier zum wiederholten Mal unter Beweis stellt, ist analytisch interessant, weil sie die Russland-Besessenheit mancher Deutscher erklärt. Aber auf einer moralischen Ebene ist sie einfach nur abgründig.

Wer erinnert sich nicht an das legendäre Treffen zwischen Vertretern der britischen Regierung mit NS-Schergen mitten im Zweiten Weltkrieg, das entscheidend zu dessen Ende beigetragen hat? 🙄
