Incredible news!!! Our Dutch friends from Stichting Diel / Vrienden van Oekraïne (vvodiel.nl) just passed the 400K € for the energy fundraiser. Approx half the amount has been spent on power stations & generators and has been distributed, the rest is on its way💪
Ukraine has proposed launching joint projects with European countries to develop and produce counter-ballistic missile solutions, Defense Minister Fedorov said. He also called on partners to continue funding the PURL program and increase Europe’s production capacity in missile defense. #Ukraine
Department of Justice spoke four times to a woman who credibly accused Trump of having sex with a minor he met through Jeffrey Epstein—but most accusations against the president appear to have been removed from government’s documents on the alleged sex trafficker. newrepublic.com/post/206765/...
A military convoy, including three specialized trucks for hauling thermonuclear warheads, rolled through Glasgow, Scotland, on the M74 motorway on Thursday. When not on sub patrol, the UK’s nuclear weapons are based nearby at HMNB Clyde at Faslane and the Royal Navy Armaments Depot at Coulport.
I show you Kyiv. I tell you about our life here. Slowly, I’m getting back to educating you about Ukraine. We survived this winter (it seems). Of course, there will be more attacks, more challenges. I’ll do my best to remind you that we are more than this bloody war.
If you have $ for donations to good causes, the Wild Hornets team is raising funds for a new mobile lab, which will help them improve their drones - helping the Ukrainian military defend against the invaders. $16 743 has been raised out of $27 000 needed. Donors can also get raffle tickets!
1/6 Peter Thiel is the textbook Silicon Valley hypocrite. He brands himself as a libertarian who hates the state but he built his fortune on government contracts. Palantir is a taxpayer-funded spy machine that would not exist without the big government he claims to despise
🇺🇦🇪🇺 Ukraine offers alternative oil transit routes to the EU instead of Druzhba Ukraine suggests using the Odesa–Brody route instead of the Druzhba pipeline, which the Russian attack has damaged. Media outlet European Pravda reported this. Read more 👀 theukrainianreview.info/ukraine-offe...
Charles I (born November 19, 1600, Dunfermline Palace, Fife, Scotland—died January 30, 1649, London, England) was the king of Great Britain and Ireland (1625–49), whose authoritarian rule and quarrels with Parliament provoked a civil war that led to his execution.
We recorded episode 104 of our podcast, and while our guest, Rebecca Barth on Ukraine was *truly brilliant*, I think the second part of the podcast is even better because it is exactly the seemingly-super-nerdy-but-actually-truly-relevant stuff we set out to talk about when we started this.
🇺🇦 The war in Ukraine has reached a dead end, where neither side can win a decisive victory, — The Times The war will continue as long as Putin remains in power, and the Russian budget has money for weapons. Russia is losing more soldiers at the front than it can recruit.
Another russian drone just targeted a civilian car in Sumy region, killing a 61yo man & a 48yo woman. Yesterday, invaders murdered two police officers who were evacuating ppl in Kharkiv region. Did you notice that russia's despicable atrocities are normalized by the day?
Trump is the world's greatest destabilizer. Yesterday he imposed 10% import tariffs on the whole world, today 15%. How can this be allowed? Does the US still have a Congress? It is widely expected Trump will attack Iran very soon, to hide the Epstein-Trump files. What a mess!
Not too bad for Day 451 consecutive #GeorgiaProtests, is it? 1. Further regime isolation, a Russian proxy and sanctions evasion enabler, pro-Iran, pro-CCP; 2. Targeted sanctions; 3. Aid to CSOs & media; 4. Int’l investigation into chemicals use against protesters; 📷 @rusudandjakeli.bsky.social
Ambassador Steven Pifer shows how Trump has made every mistake in his "negotiations" with Russia & Ukraine, giving unjustified gifts to Putin, while pressuring Ukraine, the victim. Fools accomplish nothing but damage. Put pressure on Russia! thehill.com/opinion/inte...
Ukrainian drones strike two Pr. 22460 Rubin class patrol ships of the FSB in Crimea. Second image for reference. The significance of drones in the anti-ship role is slowly becoming clear. They are generally too slow to hit well defended warships and have small warheads. But they are proving useful
Today our ambassador @stationcdrkelly.bsky.social celebrates his birthday🎂 Thank you for being Ukraine’s true friend and ally all this time, for your timely visits, lifesaving fundraisers, constant advocacy, and everything you do to help. We wish you all the best❤️ Happy birthday, Scott!
For the first time, I think, since his disastrous first term, large blocks of “Executive Time” return to Trump’s official schedule. Surely a coincidence after his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day (or maybe cover for meetings about bombing Iran again to re-destroy “obliterated” facilities).
OTD in 2014 we sent masked soldiers to occupy Crimea 2014 “they’re not Russian soldiers but local militias. Russia has nothing to do with them” 2015 “They were not Russian soldiers but we “stood behind them”" Later 2015 “They were Russian soldiers" But we are not lying this time
Interesting moment in Munich this month. When Graham asked who believes Russia "wants to take all of Ukraine," all panelists agreed — Stenergard (Swedish diplomat), Sen. Blumenthal, Moritz Schularick (economist), Katja Gloger (jouro, moderator) — except Russian political analyst Ekaterina Schulmann.
If you've been watching the ongoing Epstein files unraveling across Europe, note that the dominoes didn't start falling until one fell. And then another. Finally, the momentum in societies shifted. It will be the same within this administration. They have to remain united. Lest one domino fall.
In Feb 2022, those who took Western intelligence reports seriously wondered who the Ru-installed puppet would be. @oxanashevel.bsky.social and I predicted Ukrainians would fight hard and a puppet couldn't rule, Ru would have to try to achieve full occupation: www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/ukr...
