Man will also die Ukraine zur Kapitulation zwingen zu Bedingungen, die den nächsten Angriff möglich machen. Cool, cool

In 2022, Putin launched the largest European invasion since WWII while blaming Ukraine’s distant NATO aspirations. Weeks later, he said Russia had “no problem” with neighbouring Finland and Sweden actually joining NATO. Putin’s problem is evidently Ukrainian independence not NATO expansion

Die Strategie der USA und der Europäer mit Blick auf den russischen Angriffskrieg, durch Deeskalieren zu deeskalieren, ist halt krachend gescheitert

„and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier.“

It runs through the family

Angst der Russen vor der NATO-Osterweiterung ging 2013 soweit, dass sie einen deutschen Verbindungsoffizier im russischen Generalsstab erlauben wollten. ( Aus dem Buch von Mascolo und Gloget: Das Versagen. Screen @mfphhh)

Yea covid for sure

Und das muss nicht unbedingt, dass Rezept für die Ostflanke sein. Es zeigt aber, dass Russland nur Stärke und Entschlossenheit respektiert und nicht auf Konzilianz. Wenn du mit deinem Bajonett auf Stahl stößt, zieh dich zurück. Angeblich Lenin

Am 24.11.2015 flog eine russische Suchoi SU 24 aus Syrien für wenige Sekunden in den türkischen Luftraum. Danach lag sie in Trümmern am Boden. Passiert ist danach nichts.

And the American people go along with it. That’s the real long-term damage, that the world learned that about the American people. Now we know.

Threatens Denmark with Greenland annexation. Threatens Australian journalist. Threatens own media. DOJ threatens the opposition. On the other hand, lifts sanctions from Belarus and rolls out the red carpet for Putin. I don’t think this is the end, and the damage done will be very difficult to undo.

Polen und NATO Verbündete haben mit einem Riesenaufwand 3 Drohnen in Polen abgeschossen. Kann man als Erfolg feiern, muss man aber nicht. Was wäre passiert, wenn es 250 gewesen wären

Today, millions of people suddenly discovered, to their astonishment, that the North Atlantic Treaty also has articles 1 to 4. Thanks to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for their educational efforts

"NATO states have no idea how to look after their own security. They cannot even call an attack, an attack." And that's where we are.

As Russia’s influence in Libya grows, some in Europe suspect that it could attempt to increase migration flows as a way to destabilise EU countries — much as it has done at the border between its client state Belarus and Poland. www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article...

🇺🇸🇺🇦 "Several thousand" Americans were serving in the Ukrainian military. At least 92 Americans have been killed in combat in Ukraine, - NYT

Europe’s three year “strategy” of too little, too late directly enabled today’s attack. Our weakness drives Russian escalation.

„Ist das euer Ernst?“ Eine ukrainische Friedensnobelpreisträgerin muss immer wieder Menschen im Ausland davon überzeugen, dass die Ukraine Frieden will. Was @avalaina.bsky.social hier eindrucksvoll beschreibt, ist eine Tragödie und zeigt, wie schief unser Diskurs ist.

EU Gebäude und Britisch Council in Kyjiw von russischen Raketen getroffen. Eher kein collateral damage, da militärisch nichts relevantes in der Nähe. Die Nachricht wäre klar. Was wird die Antwort sein?

🇺🇸🇺🇦👀👀👀

A convicted sex offender and a war criminal meet at an air force base in Alaska Stop it. Tell me something more realistic

Für die Menschen im Donbas wird es sicherlich einen Riesenunterschied machen, ob das Territorium von den Russen nur de facto und nicht de jure besetzt sein wird. Da wird sich Repression, Deportation, Folter und Vergewaltigung sicherlich ganz anders anfühlen. Nicer irgendwie.

🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪 🤡 "The Baltics are a geopolitical misunderstanding. Who wants to burn in a nuclear Armageddon for the Baltics? Well, who?" Russian propagandists have begun to talk about "Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn in three days".

Und in ein paar Jahren greift Putin Estland an und die eroberten Gebiete darf Putin auf Anordnung Trumps behalten. Und viele in Europa halten Amerika für einen Verbündeten.

Diese Karte von Clement Molin zeigt, was die Ukraine aufgeben müsste ohne irgendetwas dafür zu bekommen.

In 1994, U.S. President Bill Clinton praised Ukraine’s decision to give up its nuclear weapons, calling it a step toward peace with its neighbors. “Thanks to the Ukrainian parliament, you are removing the threat of nuclear power and laying the groundwork for an era of peace.👇

Schon interessant wie offen Russland kommuniziert, dass der 'Westen' der 'Feind' ist - und es in Deutschland nach wie vor Leute gibt, die behaupten, wir wären die Aggressoren.. Was machen wir mit so viel Realitätsverweigerung?

„One senior western official…said China was expanding its presence in “the institutions of the multilateral world order . . . and then using that influence to slowly turn them to their own world view”. Trump left a power vacuum at the UN. China saw an opportunity (FT)

“For russian officials who sought to be a part of the political system, what happened to Starovoit will serve as a warning. Unlike before, when you could get these jobs, get rich, get promoted from regional level to federal level, today, that is clearly not a career path if you want to stay alive”

Wenn Trump mit Putin telefoniert, kommt man der Waffenruhe immer einen Schritt näher.

So Donald Trump is so frustrated with Vladimir Putin than he is helping the Russian dictator kill Ukrainians. Understand that Europeans, when you next tell yourself that the USA will honor its NATO commitments.

Today’s the first time I’m not texting or messaging my many friends in the U.S. to wish them a happy July 4th. Not that it matters, but it’s an honest reaction to the never-ending cheering for suffering of refugees, jingoism, GOP attacks on Ukraine, and the steady stream of ignorance

The head of Russia’s Central Bank, Elvira Nabiullina, gave a candid take: growth over the past two years came from tapping idle resources - unused labor, spare capacity, bank capital, and the Wealth Fund. Her warning: “Many of these resources are now truly exhausted” Source: t.co/OSsHhbuqHt

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 🤕 Putin: Wherever a Russian soldier steps, it is ours. 🥴 Putin: "If the Kyiv regime drops a "dirty bomb" on Russian territory, this could be the last mistake of Ukrainian neo-Nazis."

🇮🇱😵‍💫 "Israel today is almost a Russian-speaking country, a large number of people from the USSR live there, Moscow takes this into account," — Putin 🇮🇷🤔 We support Iran in the fight for its interests. What should we have done? Start military action?, — Putin.

@carlomasala1.bsky.social Putin wird sich nur mit der ganzen Ukraine zufrieden geben x.com/maxseddon/st...

“Change is needed — no question about it,” Zelensky said about naming Shapovalov the new head of Ukraine’s Ground Forces He pointed to Shapovalov’s work with NATO partners in Wiesbaden and said it’s time to bring both that intl. experience and real combat know-how into Ukraine’s military leadership

„Wenn Russland die Ukraine besetzt, zeigt dies anschaulich, welche schockierenden Folgen es in ganz Europa und der Welt haben wird….sagt uns durch ein virtuelles Szenario in der Zukunft klar, was die Essenz des Krieges mit Russland und der Ukraine ist.“ www.hankyung.com/article/2025...

Good morning! See this? It wasn't just putin who did this to my Kyiv tonight, it was done by many millions of russians who worked very hard to make it happen. A world that just allows this kind of terror against sleeping civilians deserves the worst.

If Europe is the remainig holdout for democratic stability, it’s ominous that even Trump didn’t wake most of its leaders. They’ve been consistently bringing pro-Russian populism, fascism, and even war closer to their own people. Their political mismanagement is almost criminal.

Meanwhile in Russia: pundits rejoiced about the unrest in the United States, hoped it would grow into civil war they've been anticipating for decades, and opined that Trump's mission is to destroy America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vQA...

3/ Russian officials are also attempting to rhetorically split Ukraine from its Western partners and advocating for an escalation of Russian strike tactics in Ukraine as part of wider efforts to intimidate the West into weakening its support for Ukraine. Read more: isw.pub/UkrWar061125

2/ The Kremlin continues to attack Ukraine using rhetoric presenting an anachronistic reading of Ukraine's history, denying the existence of an independent Ukrainian language and culture, and discrediting the Ukrainian government.

NEW: US SecDef Pete Hegseth stated on June 10 that the US intends to reduce its budget for the purchase of weapons for Ukraine in 2026. Reducing US military aid to Ukraine will neither lead to a sustainable peace in Ukraine nor compel Putin to reassess his theory of victory. isw.pub/UkrWar061125
