In my lifetime, I haven’t seen a bigger fighter than Zelensky. Ukraine is on the edge, every worst-case scenario I predicted since the war started is unfolding. Every move by Trump and Musk is playing out exactly as expected—down to the details. And yet, Zelensky keeps fighting.
Imagine that—a soft-spoken actor turning into a war leader in three years. His face, his posture, his entire presence—changed by war, by betrayal, by the weight of the world. In the last few days alone, he’s been in country after country, meeting leader after leader, refusing to break. And what does he get from America? Mockery. They call him a beggar, a coward. But none of them—not Trump, not a thousand Trumps—have even a fraction of this man’s courage.
Meanwhile, the world scrambles. The EU can’t get on the same page. Trump is cozying up to Arabs, Indians, Russians. China? Strangely quiet but experienced. Zelensky himself is calling for them to be at the table. And yet, Trump’s biggest fear is China. The world is shifting, fast. And I saw every piece of this coming, many of us did, but not enough.
This is the face of the hero, true leader, most courageous leader in modern history. Respect him🫡
No aluminium for the Russian war machine.
Recent investigations into alumina exports raise serious concerns about European-produced materials entering supply chains linked to Russia's military-industrial complex.
Aluminium is a critical component in the production of Russian missiles, drones, military aircraft, and other weapons used daily against Ukraine and its people.
We welcome the Irish authorities' decision to launch an official investigation and expect it to be conducted swiftly, independently, and transparently.
European production and supply chains must not contribute, directly or indirectly, to sustaining Russia's war machine.
Instead, Russia must be deprived of access to any and all critical resources and materials. Earlier EU restrictions on cellulose and chrome have made a real difference. Now is the time to apply the same approach to alumina.
Ukraine will continue working with Ireland, EU institutions, and international partners to strengthen sanctions pressure on Moscow and close gaps that enable Russia's defence industry to operate.
@EmmanuelMacron You are the Coalition of the Meeting waiting for "normalization".
"If we are 'standing with Ukraine' — we shouldn't be standing on a huge pile of frozen Russian assets that could be used to save Ukrainian lives".

Those who aim to "avoid escalation" must now admit that escalation is not being avoided. Escalation is being allowed, and encouraged. If we are "standing with Ukraine" — we shouldn't be standing on a huge pile of frozen Russian assets that could be used to save Ukrainian lives.
@bundeskanzler Ridiculous Empty words!

I congratulate Armenia on holding democratic and free elections, and @NikolPashinyan on his victory. This is also a victory for Armenia’s sovereignty, your independence, and your right to live the way you choose. We wish you success.
Ukraine is ready to expand our cooperation, and now is precisely the time for the European Union to provide real support to Armenia and do everything necessary to ensure that people feel their lives are better thanks to their relationship with Europe. This is a test for the European Union. It is important not to lose time or miss opportunities.
I’m loving this sort of thing.
For years, Russia has been yelling about “Ukrainian Nazis,” the “Kyiv junta,” the “protection of the people of Donbas,” the “NATO threat,” and “we didn’t start this war, Ukraine attacked us.”
And then, as if nothing happened, Russian officials openly and publicly threaten Armenia with a “Ukrainian scenario” if its pro-Western government, which has been confidently re-elected, continues moving closer to the European Union and European countries.
Mam nadzieję, że po decyzjach kapituły i prezydenta @NawrockiKn nie będzie tak, że b. kanclerz Niemiec Gerhard Schroeder, który bierze od Putina pieniądze, będzie nadal kawalerem orderu Orła Białego, a ten kto z Putinem walczy, będzie go pozbawiony.
@EmmanuelMacron@SolidarityRnwd Why aren't you defeating russia in Ukraine?
Withholding wpons while Ukr civilians are killed daily?
Why did you fly jets to protect ME but not Ukraine?
Not tightening sanctions?
Not condemning FR participants in putin's bus forum?
Allowing russian tourists?
YOU WANT NORMALIZATION
The name Patriots for Europe is a grotesque joke.
The members of this parliamentary group are among the most compliant instruments of Russian foreign policy currently operating in Western democracy.
It is deeply ironic that a group defined by its anti-globalist, sovereignist stance is so eager to serve a foreign imperialist power.
While Russia carries out war, hybrid operations, assassinations, and disinformation campaigns across Europe, these politicians actively defend the Kremlin's narrative on the parliamentary floor.
Their parliamentary record exposes their true loyalties. They routinely oppose any meaningful pushback against Russian aggression, trying to starve Ukraine of defensive resources and fracture the common European front. This compliance directly compromises the long-term safety and independence of every European country.
You cannot be a patriot while siding with an autocrat who wants to see your alliances collapse and your neighbors conquered. Their rhetoric is a cheap shield designed to hide a profound betrayal of European values. They are pushing foreign interests for a living, and their fake patriotism deserves absolute contempt. Traitors against Europe
Armenia has chosen EUROPE!
The exitpoll indicates that the Pro-European party has gotten 56% of votes.
Russia has tried to sway the vote by a variety of tactics, but Armenians have put their back towards them. The Pro-Russian party has only 17% of votes.
Europe ❤️ Armenia
What the EU Did to Poland and the Baltics
I think the most underreported story in global economics is what European integration has done to the countries that were once the Soviet Union’s western margin.
In 2004, Poland joined the European Union. Its unemployment rate was around 20 percent. It was a middle-income country with serious structural problems and a GDP that reflected the grey inheritance of central planning.
Twenty years later, its GDP has passed one trillion dollars, having roughly tripled between accession and 2020 alone.
A new study from the Polish Economic Institute found that Poland’s economy is 42 percent larger than it would have been had it not joined the EU.

Terwijl rusland oorlog voert in Oekraïne🇺🇦 doet Aweta uit Pijnacker volop zaken in rusland. ‘Standard Investment’ (Hendrik Jan ten Have, Guido Grobbink) heeft als grootaandeelhouder een doorslaggevende stem om met Aweta uit rusland te vertrekken. Ga er weg. Moral above money. 1/
The right take on the meeting in London:
"The real question is what mindset the E3 brings to the table."
"Seeking a balanced compromise with an aggressor committed to conquest is not diplomacy. It is self-deception."
https://t.co/G4jzeeTDgC
@DmytroKuleba Very well said:
"The final London Declaration was not about ending a war. It was about uniting those willing to win it and shape the peace that followed."
There have not been any signs to date from the E3 that they are willing to win this war. Otherwise we wld not be in this1/
@CazadorDeWulf I said it was a choice, one they are fully accountable for. And I'm happy to insult the intelligence of said voters who put personal power and hatred over national interests and global security and prosperity by elevating a delusional and corrupt showman.
