"Dear friends, scientifically, this is not a #ClimateCrisis. We are now facing something deeper. Mass extinction. Air pollution. Undermining ecosystem functions. Really putting humanity’s future at risk. This is a #PlanetaryCrisis."

Russia needs to lose, and lose badly. That's what every dictator on the planet needs to see. Our ability or failure to stop and punish Russia's crimes in #Ukraine will deter or encourage the aggression of dictatorships worldwide, and thereby determine the course of this century.

EU plans to send 90% of revenues from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine

The EU countries have agreed to allocate 90% of revenues from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine's defense. This was announced by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz at a news press conference in Riga.

According to him, the profit from Russia's assets frozen in response to its invasion of Ukraine amounts to several billion euros a year. Scholz noted that the agreement is already at the final stage.

⚡️ Russia plotting sabotage across Europe, intelligence agencies warn - FT

Assessments suggest Kremlin agents preparing covert bombings, arson, and attacks on infrastructure

Russia has already begun to more actively prepare covert bombings, arson attacks, and damage to infrastructure on European soil, directly and via proxies, with little apparent concern about causing civilian fatalities, the article says.

[NEXTA @nexta_tv]

If Russia wins, the next second there will be no more security in Romania, Poland, Lithuania, or our country, French President Macron said

He also said that "the power and range of Russian ballistic missiles puts us all at risk."

Russia plotting sabotage across Europe - The Financial Times

European intelligence agencies warn that Russia is planning violent sabotage acts across the continent, committing to perpetual conflict with the West. They have started actively preparing covert bombings, arson, and infrastructure damage on European soil, showing little concern for civilian casualties, intelligence officials believe.

"Russia now seems comfortable carrying out operations on European soil “[with] a high potential for damage,” said Thomas Haldenwang, head of German domestic intelligence.

Acts or attempts at sabotage are already taking place:

◾️two German-Russian nationals were arrested in Bayreuth, Bavaria, for allegedly plotting to attack military and logistics sites in Germany on behalf of Russia;
◾️two men were charged in the UK in late April with having started a fire at a warehouse containing aid shipments for Ukraine and accused of working for Russian government;
◾️In Sweden, security services are investigating a series of recent railway derailments;
◾️Russia has attempted to destroy the signalling systems on Czech railways, the country’s transport minister told last month;
◾️In Estonia, an attack on the interior minister’s car in February and those of journalists were perpetrated by Russian intelligence operatives, the country’s Internal Security Service has said.

“These pinprick attacks we’ve seen so far are of course to create disruption, but they can also be used for disinformation. And then there is what Russia learns from these attacks if they want to immobilise Europe for real... They’re practice runs,” said Keir Giles, senior consulting fellow at Chatham House, the think-tank.

Momentous ruling: this Govt's dangerous lack of concrete climate plans & investment is unlawful. There is no time to lose now - Govt must go back to the drawing board & urgently pull together a credible plan to put the UK back on track to delivering our climate commitments

At the UN Plastics Treaty negotiations today.

Not the type of environment I feel comfortable in. But: it’s encouraging to have seen the plastic pollution problem grow from something most people I spoke to hadn’t heard of to now being discussed by all countries on Earth.

It’s so simple. Without a healthy planet we have absolutely nothing.

Nothing else matters. #EarthDay #EarthDay2024

Save the planet = save yourself.

[Erin Brockovich @ErinBrockovich]

Why is the idea of doing whatever we can to protect our planet so threatening to people?

Does anyone think polution is good? Killing off wildlife? Pumping toxins into the air, land & sea.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF BEING AGAINST A CLEANER PLANET.... JESUS YOU PEOPLE SUCK

❗️ Duda: Poland is ready to host US nuclear weapons

"Russia is increasingly militarizing the Kaliningrad region. It recently placed its nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus. If our allies decide to deploy nuclear weapons as part of the joint use of nuclear weapons also on our territory to strengthen the security of NATO's eastern flank, we are ready for it," Andrzej Duda told Fakt.

According to him, the deployment of US nuclear weapons in Poland "has been a topic of negotiations" with the United States for some time now.

Denmark will deliver all its F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine

This was announced by the Danish Ambassador to Ukraine Ole Egberg Mikkelsen in an interview with the program "We are Ukraine":

"There will definitely be airplanes for Ukraine. This is our entire fleet of F-16s, which is now being decommissioned, because we are getting a new generation of airplanes - F-35. There is no need to worry. F-16s will be delivered as we promised," the ambassador said.

[Jakub Janda 楊雅嚳 @_JakubJanda]

Now the EU must take corrupted Russian assets and give it to Ukraine for buying ammunition.

It will also serve as a great precedent & deterrent to China not to attack Taiwan or its economic assets globally would face confiscation.

Retweet if you agree.

Thank you!

It is ultimately embarrassing that super-rich Europe depends on a single vote of U.S. Congress whether Ukraine will be surviving or not.

Europe should be funding Ukrainian defences so much that we do not depend on our allies in America.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I am grateful to the United States House of Representatives, both parties, and personally Speaker Mike Johnson for the decision that keeps history on the right track.

Democracy and freedom will always have global significance and will never fail as long as America helps to protect it. The vital U.S. aid bill passed today by the House will keep the war from expanding, save thousands and thousands of lives, and help both of our nations to become stronger.

Just peace and security can only be attained through strength.

We hope that bills will be supported in the Senate and sent to President Biden’s desk. Thank you, America!

[Kaja Kallas @kajakallas]

Crucial and right decision by the US House of Representatives to send Ukraine urgent military aid.

The best way to secure ourselves is to make sure we help Ukraine to win its fight for freedom.

Hope this vote encourages all allies to look through their warehouses and do more.
