@OlenaRohoza I wish him the day he deserves. Dropping the Epstein files online for all to see would be fantastic. The bday of the guy in there more than anyone else would be a perfect day for it.
Veronika Chuyan threw her body over her two boys as shrapnel from a double-tap strike flew towards them in Kyiv.โ

Veronika is one of thousands of Ukrainian civilians killed in Russiaโs relentless bombardments of Ukrainian cities.โ

Here are 10 things the EU and European countries could do right now to help Ukraine:
1. Seize frozen Russian state assets and use them to fund Ukraine.
2. Expand weapons aid and joint procurement, including artillery, drones, ammunition, and air defense systems.
3. Supply more long-range missiles (SCALP, Taurus) and remove restrictions on strikes against military targets inside Russia.
4. Deploy European troops to western Ukraine for training, logistics, maintenance, and air defense, freeing up Ukrainian forces for the front.
5. Crack down on sanctions evasion networks and tighten enforcement.
6. Intensify action against Russia's shadow fleet through inspections, sanctions, and port restrictions.
7. Create a Patriot coalition to provide more air defense systems and interceptors.
8. Launch a European lend-lease (PURL) program with long-term financing for weapons and industrial cooperation.
9. Lower the Russian oil price cap and ban remaining Russian LNG imports.
10. Commit to a postwar European peacekeeping and security presence to deter future Russian aggression.
By doing this, we could accelerate Russia's total collapse, but the biggest constraints for these actions are political will and speed.
June 14 reminds us of one of the darkest crimes of Soviet terror.
85 years ago, in 1941, tens of thousands of people were torn from their homes and deported to Gulags. Many never came back.
We honor the victims by standing with those who face the same terror today. Russiaโs crimes in Ukraine remind us that unpunished evil returns.
Justice is the only safeguard against its repetition. We must stand firm so tyranny never prevails again.
Nearly 500,000 Russian citizens enjoyed European holidays last year.
Meanwhile, Ukrainians were dying on the battlefield.
It's time to end Schengen tourist visas for Russian tourists.
Holidays in the EU are a privilege, not a right for citizens of a country waging war on our continent.
