Stoltenberg's Plan, according to his book.

I give Stoltenberg permission to use this visual aid in his 2nd edition print.

🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹🇺🇦 Many of our Baltic friends appear to have misunderstood my words, possibly letting their very justified fear of Russia cloud their judgment.

This has been my position for over a year.
Allow me to make it crystal clear:

For their own security, the Baltics must form a mutual defense alliance with Ukraine. The Baltics are the chief beneficiary of such an alliance, not Ukraine. Putin will think twice about invading if he knows Russians will have to face the same battle-hardened Ukrainians with housewife kitchen drones in the Baltics. I believe Ukraine will be willing to do this if the Balts send a battalion each to Ukraine.

1) Baltic states are vulnerable to a Russian invasion. Only about 60,000 untested active duty troops. No air force. Very small population. No capability to counter 1,000 drones-per-day sustained attacks. Russia currently loses in Ukraine the equivalent of the entire Baltic military force every 1.5-2 months.

2) European NATO capabilities and response to a hypothetical invasion of the Baltics are unclear. Europeans don't have sufficient munitions for sustained war beyond a couple of weeks anyway.

3) US is unlikely to come to the defense of the Baltic states.

4) Sending a few Baltic battalions to Ukraine could obligate Ukraine to send troops to the Baltics as part of such an alliance. Can be done on a rotational basis now, even just as rotational R&R deployments for Ukrainian troops needing rest from frontline duty. Permanent Ukrainian troop presence in the Baltics is THE deterrent against Russia. On the other hand, 1,000-1,500 Baltic troops in Ukraine is not going to turn the tide of war against Russia. This is why the Baltics will probably benefit much more than Ukraine from the alliance.

5) Russia invades countries it deems to be weak, to extract resources through occupation. The Baltics are weak without obligated Ukrainian defense.

6) A Baltic-Ukrainian alliance will reduce the risk of invasion by Russia, not increase it.

7) Such an alliance does not conflict with NATO membership. Baltic states are sovereign and have the legal right to join any other military alliances.

8) NATO Article 5 is not relevant. Russians fighting Balts in Ukraine is not an attack on the Baltics. Balts fighting Russians in Ukraine is not an attack on Russia.

9) Whether or not you believe NATO will actually defend the Baltics in case of a Russian attack (I don't), a Baltic-Ukrainian alliance only helps strengthen the Baltic states militarily.

10) 1,000-1,500 Baltic troops in Ukraine fighting Russians will not increase the chance of a Russian attack on the Baltics. Russia won't care about such a minuscule force. Militarily, it's insignificant. Russia loses that many soldiers every day.

The only caveat here is whether Ukraine would agree to such a military alliance, as Ukraine stands to benefit significantly less than the Baltic states.

I believe Ukraine will agree. ✊

I hope everyone can see that I'm spending my time and energy genuinely trying to help strengthen Baltic security contrary to various recent accusations against me by some Balts.

While Russian Duma members were getting guided tours of US government buildings and Trump was busy pressuring Ukraine to surrender, Russia helped Iran destroy an irreplaceable American $700,000,000 AWACS aircraft.

❗️🇺🇦Ukrainian soldiers from the 43rd Separate Mechanized Brigade captured a group of 🇷🇺Russian military personnel who, for propaganda purposes, were supposed to plant a Russian flag in the settlement of Kivsharivka in the Kharkiv region.

Üsna hirmus on näha, kui haruldane on maailmapoliitikas elementaarsete faktide väljaütlemine.

Nii haruldane, et pidime eestlase ütlema saatma. Muidu ei ütleks keegi.

I won't share it, but a video is circulating of Russian troops executing an injured Ukrainian soldier. May he rest in everlasting peace. A hero that died for his people and his homeland.
I fought both Russia and ISIS for years. There's not much difference between them. Russia is a terrorist state, good for little more than inflicting misery and war crimes.
Only the most revolting creatures of no moral or human decency can ever support Russia.

russians always do this everywhere they go

First, bomb and kill all locals

Then, bring in russian occupier settlers

Yet some people still want us to believe this PM blocked the release of the frozen russian assets because of a "financial risk for Belgium."

Please, don't insult our intelligence.

There's a word for this behavior and its called collaboration.

[Jaanus K 🇪🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦 @jaanus]

TIL “idioot” is written exactly the same way in Flemish and Estonian

It is an appropriate label for Belgian Prime Minister @Bart_DeWever and everyone defending him

He is one of those Western Europeans who has no issue throwing Eastern Europe under russian bus

Peskov is saying that russian propaganda has seen better days

Zakharova next to him isn’t looking too good either

📽 Archive footage. February 2022, near Kyiv.

For over six hours, russians fired on cars like it was a safari:
The fewest hits on a single vehicle — 38 bullets,
the most — 178.

11 killed, 15 wounded.

From day one, russia showed its cruelty. And the world still just watches.

To be clear: Hungary, an EU member state, has publicly admitted to seizing a Ukrainian bank convoy for the express purpose of blackmailing Ukraine.

And the EU is just... silent. Imagine the outcry if the roles were reversed?!

In a few days, on March 9,
There is the birthday of our famous poet Taras Shevchenko.

I love this poet very much,
Especially the powerful words of his poem Zapovit.
Even today they sound incredibly strong and remind us about freedom, dignity, and love for Ukraine🇺🇦

Between 1940 and 1953, more than 40,000 Estonians were deported to Siberia. Many were executed, tortured, or died because of the brutal labor and inhumane conditions.

The death of Stalin meant a chance to return home for many Estonians… but no one returns from russian camps the same person. And the homeland they left behind no longer existed either. Estonia had been occupied, and for Estonians the suffering and persecution did not end there.

The scars of the Siberian camps do not heal even generations later. Millions of broken lives, destroyed families, people killed or maimed for life - physically and mentally.

On the day of Stalin’s death, it is important to remind ourselves that the subject of Soviet labor camps still receives criminally little attention. We all know names like Auschwitz, Dachau, and Treblinka, but far fewer people have heard of Dalstroy, Vorkutlag, Norillag, or the Karaganda Corrective Labor Camp.

The scale of Soviet repression and crimes is only now beginning to return to the broader public discussion, especially in the context of the war in Ukraine - because the russian repressive system today is not very different from the one that existed under Stalin.
