The underappointment of Matt #Gaetz to the Attorney General position is a reminder of two safety valves in the future #Trump administration: “I quit” and “You are fired”: https://t.co/TudoVCyoJa.

Here is more on #Ukrenergo: Two Ukrenergo Supervisory Board Members Quit Over CEO Ouster https://t.co/GafvhsMgL2

[Anastasiya Shapochkina @Shapochkina1984]

While some of these people will be promoted up, their departure risks creating an expertise gap in areas critical for the #EUintegration, a concern the EU diplomats voiced in June during the #reconstruction summit in Berlin. The quality of their replacements is critical.

This stream of resignations follows a dismissal of the CEO of #Ukrenergo Volodymyr #Kudrytsky, and a resignation of two supervisory board members of the company Daniel #Dobbeni and Peter #Andreasen on Sept 2.
There will be more in the coming days.

Western aid is finally getting to the level of Ukraine’s determination to win. Had this been delivered in the first months of the war, it would have been long over:

The US Senate has voted the $61Bn aid package to Ukraine.The question now is whether it’s the last good-bye from DC, and if Europe can ramp up production by the end of the year to start filling in the future void with a long-term sustainable support. https://t.co/cHyXNivzSe

As European leaders are feeling the heat of the #war getting closer to the continent, 12 states call for #EIB #financing for #defense sector. It’s not just the #Baltics and #Poland, by far. “Germany, France Lead Call for EIB to Step Up Defense Financing” https://t.co/6Xsz334IoK

For those European policy-makers who stress the impotence of their defense and hope for Uncle Sam, a quick reminder of the humble lows the US military industry grew out of at light speed when struck by WWII, in the economic context of the Great Depression: https://t.co/s4v1hviZQg

Poutine est en guerre contre l’Ukraine et contre l’occident.
Une victoire de Poutine serait la défaite de l’Ukraine, et la nôtre.
Aider la victoire de l’Ukraine est l’intérêt de l’Ukraine, et le nôtre.
C’est la sécurité stratégique de l’Europe qui est menacée.

The debate about the future of #Europeandefense is not about industrial capacity, but about political will. #Biden is president, yet the #US is already withdrawing from geopolitics, as it has been doing for years now.
Thank you, @FrancoisF24 for @F24Debate invite.
