This morning, a merchant vessel was hit and sank in Romania’s exclusive economic zone, roughly 15 nautical miles off the Romanian coast by what appears to be a new type of Russian drone. The crew members, eight Ukrainians and four Azerbaijanis, were rescued by the Romanian Navy.

“I’ve had a good talk with Putin. He’s said he’s not going to be attacking NATO territory,” – Trump.

Oh, well, if Putin said so… I guess that is true then.

Absolutely apocalyptic footage from Mar’inka, Donetsk region.

A city that no longer exists.

Just ruins where homes, lives and entire families once stood.

russia brings nothing but death and destruction.

[POLITICOEurope @POLITICOEurope]

Russia’s campaign against Europe looks increasingly brazen.

Yet EU leaders remain reluctant to call it what a growing number of security officials say it resembles: war.

"Why won’t Ukrainians negotiate for peace?" There’s no peace, no security, from negotiating with Russia, even surrendering.

🔴 Russian troops have executed at least 345 Ukrainian soldiers after they surrendered, official reports show.

1) Alors la russie a le droit de se "militariser" mais pas les autres pays ?! Les pays indépendants d'ailleurs. 😡

2) et putin était "réélu" depuis 2000 ? Par l'amour de son peuple ?! C'est bien ça à quoi croit Mme Le Pen ?! 🤣🤣🤣

[Yasmina @yasminalombaert]

Le Pen: “Ukraine is part of Russia's sphere of influence, it's a fact. Just like Canada is part of America's sphere of influence.”

As French voters head toward a crucial election where Marine Le Pen is projected as a frontrunner, it is vital to revisit her track record of appeasement and dangerous miscalculations.

This archival 2017 interview lays bare her alignment with putin, where she casually dismissed Ukraine as part of Russia's "sphere of influence," trivialised illegal territorial aggression as mere things that "happen”, and praised putin’s brutal intervention in Syria.

While putin’s war machine was devastating cities and killing thousands, Le Pen championed the dismantling of NATO and absolved Moscow of any military threat to Europe.

Watch this clip to see for yourself how the far-right leader historically downplayed the ambitions of an aggressor and ask yourself whether France can afford to entrust its future to someone who excused tyranny in the name of dirty money.

Journalist Emily Maitlis: “Do you think the West has misunderstood President putin?”

Le pen: “ I think the previous American administration put the Berlin Wall on wheels and pushed it back to Russia's borders. That was in the interest of the US. Was it in the interest of the EU? The answer is no. We have no reason to enter into a new Cold War with Russia. But indeed, the sphere of influence of Russia, that's going to increase a bit. The Baltic States too. Bah if you want, we made deals with Russia after World War II and those deals were reneged on, because in recent years the US kept arming countries on Russia's border through NATO. So it was felt by Russia as a form of hostility. And I'm not a supporter of mounting conflict, hostility, of warmongering. These are provocations that naturally cause a reaction. Well, Ukraine is part of Russia's sphere of influence, it's a fact. Just like Canada is part of America's sphere of influence.”

Journalist Emily Maitlis: “If the Russian military made an incursion into the Baltic States, or again into Ukraine, would France protect them?”

Le Pen: “You want war at all cost? What is your problem? You want to go to war? You like war? You want war? You want conflict? You want us to start World War III? At the moment no one wants to go to war with anyone. I'm happy to go into all the hypotheses, but no one is going to war with anyone. There was a territorial conflict with Ukraine. These things happen. Now it has to be resolved diplomatically. And I think France's voice has weight, as long as France is France, not just a region of the EU. But honestly
if you're trying to say that Russia is a military danger to European countries, I think you're mistaken in your analysis.”

Journalist Emily Maitlis: “What should be France's commitment towards NATO?”

Le Pen: “I think France should leave NATO Allied Command. And I agree with Donald Trump when he says NATO is obsolete. Because NATO was created to fight the USSR. Today there is no USSR. I know it's uncomfortable for some, but there's no more USSR. There's Russia, which doesn't deserve to be treated with prejudice. It hasn't led any campaigns against European countries, or against the US.”

Journalist Emily Maitlis: “Has putin done more good or harm to the world?”

Le Pen: “First we need to ask whether he did more harm than good to Russia. Russia is going broadly in the right direction. It has improved its economy, although it's still fragile, but it has improved its economy and in any case what I notice is that putin’s government must be pretty popular with Russians given that it's constantly being re-elected. What more can say?
Has he done good? Well, when he intervened in Syria against ISIS, yes, I think it was positive. Yes.”

(This interview dates from March 2017.
It is from an appearance Marine Le Pen made on the BBC political program Newsnight, interviewed by journalist Emily Maitlis during her 2017 French presidential campaign.)

Le débat était certes intéressant.

Mais n’oublions pas les fondamentaux
👉🏼 La Russie n'est pas un danger,
👉🏼 Trump a raison l'Otan ne sert à rien,
👉🏼 Poutine n'est pas un criminel de guerre ni un dictateur.

La voleuse reste vendue à Poutine.

Hours before Moldova marks 35 years of independence, our airspace was repeatedly violated by Russian drones. I strongly condemn this intimidation.

Moldova stands tall, independent and free, firmly on its path to join the EU.

Not a single MP from Mélenchon’s or Le Pen’s parties in the French parliament tweeted or shared a pro-Ukraine message yesterday. Not even a repost or an Instagram story – nothing at all. ZERO.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

As we prepare to celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day, we raise the Ukrainian flag in Brussels.

So it can fly proudly at the heart of our Union, where it belongs.

Ukraine will reclaim its security.
Its freedom.

And it will take its rightful place in our Union.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Today, Romania destroyed a naval drone carrying explosives near its Neptun Deep platform in the Black Sea.

An escalating campaign of threats is underway, unsettling our citizens and seeking to divide our Union.

This is hybrid warfare.

The founding mission of our Union is to preserve peace. Today, that also means having the capacity to deter provocation and aggression.

Our Readiness 2030 agenda is mobilising up to EUR 800 billion.

With the European Drone Defence Initiative and the Eastern Flank Watch, we are scaling up production in Europe to deliver capabilities Member States need.

So we can respond to emerging threats with speed, unity and resolve.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

🇵🇱 PM Tusk: I think that it’s not those who stopped Nord Stream 2 who should be ashamed, but those who built it.

Germany is responsible for Europe’s dependence on Russian gas. And Russia turned out to be the aggressor.

Germany shouldn’t prosecute those who, when their country was attacked by Russia, took one action or another.

Poland, under every PM, warned and did everything to ensure that Nord Stream 2 did not become a reality.

So that Europe was as independent as possible from Russian gas. Germans changed their minds too late.
