Jokes aside, this is an incredibly important day for freedom and democracy and, most importantly, for basic common sense and human dignity, in the spirit of 1989.
We often fall into despair these days, saying that frenzied ultra-populists and corrupt servants of a totalitarian axis are leading the West to ruin.
But no, Hungarians have now made it more than clear that there is hope.
The problems will be resolved, the key is to hold on to one of the greatest achievements in history -- the Western democratic civilization -- and not foolishly surrender it to the jackals falsely promising mountains of gold.
Putin schickt tausende über tausende Russen in den Tod und kann doch noch immer Pokrowsk nicht vollständig kontrollieren und hat Kupjansk wieder verloren. Aber mit Drohnen in Wohnhäuser friedliche Familien in Kyjiw ermorden, dass kann er. Kriegsverbrecher.
NATO's task is to deter. But if you repeatedly have to manage incidents, then you should ask yourself how deterrence can be restored and focus less on celebrating the successful management of such incidents.
AFP reports that Putin wants to meet with Zelensky in Moscow.
It’s unclear whether Zelensky will counter by asking for the meeting to take place in The Hague.
Was haben wir in den ersten 100 Tagen dieser Kanzlerschaft gelernt: Merz redet lieber mit Starmer, Macron und Zelenskyy als mit Söder, Spahn und Linnemann. Und das kann man ja menschlich fast ein bisschen verstehen.
To those with short memories:
Between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine held about 200 rounds of talks with Russia.
During this period, 20 cease-fire agreements were reached, all of which were quickly violated by Russia.
None of the 200 rounds of talks or the 20 ceasefires have prevented Putin from launching a brutal all-out invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022.
Those who argue that Ukraine should negotiate with Russia now are either uninformed or misled, or they side with Russia and want Putin to take a pause before an even larger aggression.
We should not and will not fall into this trap.
Selbst Mahmud Abbas fordert inzwischen die Hamas zur Niederlegung der Waffen auf.
Nur der links-islamistische Mob auf deutschen Straßen und die stets um die Palästinenser besorgte „akademische Elite“ an den Universitäten haben das noch nie gemacht.

This message is addressed to American politicians who claim responsibility for peace negotiations on Ukraine — yet remain silent when horrifying tragedies unfold and innocent civilians are killed.
Why do you find time on platform X to mock @ZelenskyyUa , ridicule Ukraine and its government, or blame us for the war — but say nothing after the deadly Russian strikes in Kryvyi Rih (where 9 children and 9 adults were killed) or in Sumy on Easter Sunday (34 people killed, including 2 children)?
You hold immense power. You say you want to end this war. You represent a nation that, for decades, stood as a pillar of the democratic world — a defender of rights, freedoms, and human dignity. So why are you silent now, when children are being murdered?
Your public stance — even a few words of condemnation — can have real impact. The aggressor sees your silence and keeps killing. It feels like a game to him. But on the board are real lives of ordinary people.
Your silence is a signal to the murderer that he can go on.
Thank you for not being silent about this @SecRubio and @generalkellogg
If you speak of God and Christian values — do not ignore these tragedies.
Be diplomats — but don’t be cowards.

I ask for maximum RT of this post 🙏
@MaxBunse die aus Steuern refinanziert werden müsste aus Beitragsmitteln „verschenkt“.
Dabei möchte ich das Thema um den Bundeszuschuss nicht aufmachen
@MaxBunse Du hast vollkommen recht. Ich habe selber das Thema Mütterrente I + II bei der Rentenversicherung mit praktisch umgesetzt und fand beide Pakete höchst unfair, weil man bis zum Schluss kein Gleichklang erreicht hat.
Und P.s: in den Runden wurde diese staatliche Leistung /2
Dass wir einen Wahlkampf erlebt haben, in dem man einfach so tun konnte, als hätte der Staat kein Finanzierungsproblem und anderthalb Wochen später werden Sondervermögen von rund einer BILLION diskutiert, ist übrigens auch ein brutales Versagen des politischen Journalismus.
