@PhilGordonDC While European leaders applaud the mad king today, they draft the divorce papers for tomorrow.

@Alex_Oloyede2 @mfa_russia The spirit of Wagner still exists in the MoD.

It just needs a leader who will step up to do what’s necessary. Protect the people of Russia.

[Anker @Vibeanker]

@Alex_Oloyede2 @mfa_russia You have said it yourself, the politicians of the Kremlin are too focused on their own personal power to risk open war. What Russia needs is someone who will take action against those who restrain the MoD.

@Alex_Oloyede2 do you suggest that Wagner Group should restore order?

[Anker @Vibeanker]

@Alex_Oloyede2 @mfa_russia Good point

But if Putin shows too much retraint, which other individual would be able to bring order to the current situation in Russia and at the frontline?

@Alex_Oloyede2 do you suggest that the Russian Armed Forces should take charge of the situation, if politicians can’t?

They're not only defending their freedom, they're defending ours. The future is a federal Europe that includes Ukraine. From Lisbon to Yerevan 🇪🇺🇺🇦

🇨🇭🇪🇺 Swiss voters have rejected a dangerous path towards a “Swiss Brexit”.

By saying NO to the “No Switzerland of 10 million” initiative, a majority of citizens and cantons chose cooperation over isolation and reaffirmed Switzerland’s close ties with Europe.

@haunaho_ @HeinojaPas35291 @Alex_Oloyede2 So you admit Crimea has collapsed.

[Anker @Vibeanker]

@haunaho_ @Alex_Oloyede2 Yeah, three days. Or was it three years? Three centuries??

Remind me, which one did you guys go for?

[Anker @Vibeanker]

@haunaho_ @Alex_Oloyede2 So why hasn’t Russia won already? Why has the front stagnated?

Are you implying that Russian soldiers are cowards who don’t seize the opportunity to win?

[Estonian MFA 🇪🇪 | 🌻 #StandWithUkraine @MFAestonia]

In the early hours of this day 85 years ago, thousands of families across Estonia were woken by a knock on the door, only to be torn from their homes and deported to Siberia by the Soviet regime.

During the June 1941 deportations, around 10,000 Estonians, together with tens of thousands of Latvians and Lithuanians, fell victim to Soviet terror.

As we honour the victims of these crimes, we must also remember that Russia is using many of the same methods in Ukraine today — deporting children, terrorising civilians, and attempting to erase Ukrainian identity.

History teaches us that crimes left unpunished lead to further aggression. It is time to hold Russia accountable.

If the Russian system was run by such master strategists it wouldn't have launched this war in the first place.

Focus resources on the assumption that Russia will keep pushing for a long time, but also have contingency plans ready to handle the impact of internal Russia collapse

[Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) @magyarpeterMP]

The historic agreement between Hungary and Ukraine on the educational, cultural, linguistic, and political rights of the Hungarian community in Transcarpathia has now been formalised.

In an formal diplomatic note, the Ukrainian side has committed itself to implementing all provisions of the agreement and has also incorporated them into the EU Minority Action Plan.

In just a few weeks, we have succeeded in resolving an issue that the Orbán government was unable to address in ten years.

@riton_the @FrenlyFrenchBoi Germany’s energy policy was a disaster. And so was it’s reliance on exports to China and US security guarantees.

But the German economy is merely stagnant and its debt/gdp is only at 64%.

Meanwhile, french debt is at 115% and growing fast. Energy exports won’t help there.

[Anker @Vibeanker]

@riton_the @FrenlyFrenchBoi Exporting energy really isn’t as impressive as you might think.

[Anker @Vibeanker]

@FrenlyFrenchBoi Why on earth would they pay for a fighter jet, if they couldn’t be involved in its development and could make sure their industry benefits from it??

Defence programmes are not charities…
