Warum Munitionslieferungen an die #Ukraine im von #Russland entfesselten Krieg so wichtig sind, darüber haben @KatjaKeppner und Christoph @schwanitz mit Oberst Reisner vom österreichischen Bundesheer gesprochen. @tagesschau https://t.co/dk8KtcKbu8

A few months ago @martinchulov asked me and @alexatackonline to fly to Amsterdam with him to meet two academics he’d been speaking with. They had been leaked something extraordinary

Lithuania wants the EU to cancel the summit with China "until we see which side China is on"

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

It might these days be worth remembering that 🇷🇺 occupied and annexed Crimea and tried to dismember 🇺🇦 by creating a Novorossija statelet in its South in 2014 when 🇺🇦 had neutrality inscribed in its constitution. It wasn’t of much help.

The electricity grids of #Ukraine & #Moldova have been successfully synchronised with the Continental European Grid. This will help🇺🇦to keep their electricity system stable & lights on. It is a historic milestone for our relationship – in this area, Ukraine is now part of Europe!

[Julia Davis @JuliaDavisNews]

Putin's lie that he invaded Ukraine because its gov't is comprised of Nazis is too absurd to stick, so now top propagandists are moving on to the new fairytale: that Ukraine and NATO were plotting to start a nuclear war against Russia in March and Putin prevented it by invading.

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

A friend from Moscow is racing toward the border with the Baltics, has been driving all night—no plane tickets left. "We're trying to get there before the president's address to the nation," friend says, referring to widespread rumors that Putin is about to declare martial law.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Putin's war on Ukraine has entered its next phase, one of destruction and slaughter of civilians. It is also a part of Putin's World War, a war on the civilized world of international law, democracy, and any threat to his power, which he declared long ago. 1/13

🇨🇦 solidarity with 🇺🇦 and its people on display with the new embassy banners. #StandWithUkraine

Reportedly the Chechen assassination squad sent to assassinate Zelenskyy has been eliminated. To think how many times they sent their assassination squads in collaboration w GRU across Europe and nothing was done

[Max Bergmann @maxbergmann]

We are witnessing the emergence of a global power in this crisis: the European Union. I was confident that a Russian invasion w/d be a shock to Europe and lead to a robust response. But never w/d I have predicted the announcements from Germany, EU, and others. Truly stunning. 1/

[Benjamin Haddad @benjaminhaddad]

I know it’s a cliché, but this really feels like a turning point for Europe. The way people talk, the anger of the usual cynics or sober minds. The conversations I’ve heard about defense spending, NATO, energy independence these last few days feel like something truly different.

[olexander scherba🇺🇦 @olex_scherba]

Ukrainians fight like hell. Russians are well-equipped, but demotivated and often inexperienced.
Stop talking doom-and-gloom! It’s not over, far from it!

Das Problem ist nicht SWIFT per se, denn der Ausschluss russischer Großbanken vom int. Zahlungsverkehr leistet im Kern dasselbe

Das Problem sind die Ausnahmen für Zahlungen aus dem Energiegeschäft

Kurz: Was dem Sanktionspaket tatsächlich fehlt ist ein Importembargo für Öl & Gas

[Rebekka Müller @MullerRebekka]

Europa hat versagt, sein Friedensprojekt ausreichend vor #Putin zu schützen. Beschämend: 4 Länder blockieren Einigkeit der EU. Wir brauchen Entschlossenheit: #SWIFT jetzt! Die #Ukraine braucht unseren vollen Support: Europäische Werte vor wirtschaftlichen Interessen! (1/4)
