Let's get constructive! I came up with a rough #VictoryRoadMap for #Ukraine. I am currently working on a presentation, which i intend to publish in a keynote on YouTube. Read the short Thread below for the core content: https://t.co/nDHdZHZB29
Thinking about the parameters for winning or losing the war for 🇺🇦, a dark thought crossed my mind. As the joint chief commander of 🇺🇦 warned of 2 Mio Mobiks / 29 Mio 🇷🇺 men in fighting age, I figured Putin calculates 44 Mio 🇺🇦s & their ressources against the losses of 🇷🇺 1/X

🔥🚨 MAJOR JUST IN: The SAVE America Act Just Failed In The Senate.
The measure, which would have required voter ID and proof of citizenship nationwide, was rejected 48-50.
Republican senators Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Susan Collins voted no.

The IAEA has been informed by the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) that the nearby Zaporizhzhya Thermal Power Plant (ZTPP) - whose switchyard helps deliver electricity to the ZNPP - has been under heavy attack this morning.
The IAEA team at the ZNPP saw light smoke coming from the direction of the ZTPP and heard the sound of military activity.
The incident raises serious concern about the ZNPP’s sole remaining power line, which in recent weeks has been disconnected several times, leaving the plant entirely reliant on emergency diesel generators for the electricity it needs to cool its six reactors and avoid the threat of a nuclear accident.
For now, the power line is still connected. ZTPP staff are currently sheltering due to the attack, according to the information.
DG @rafaelmgrossi expresses deep concern about the reported attack and says it must stop immediately, to avoid the danger of an extended loss of power incident at the ZNPP.

⚡️ Budapest has reached an agreement with Kyiv on the rights of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine.
This opens the way for Ukraine’s EU accession. Hungary will no longer block it.
🇩🇪 According to Hartpunkt, the Bundeswehr wants to procure an additional 35 Schakal Infantry Fighting Vehicles for 650 million € with delivery expected to take place between 2032 and 2033.
This order would bring the total fleet size to 188 vehicles by 2033, which is enough to equip between three and four Panzergrenadier battalions. The first production vehicles are to be delivered by the end of 2027.

Today the EU made American AI illegal in 27 countries.
The reason is ONE sentence Microsoft's own lawyer said under oath:
This morning in Brussels, EU Tech Chief Henna Virkkunen unveiled the Cloud and AI Development Act. It's the most aggressive anti-American tech move from Europe since GDPR.
The law forces EU public sector procurement in banking, healthcare, defense, and energy to apply mandatory non-price factors favoring software and hardware built inside the EU. Microsoft Azure can be cheaper, AWS can be faster, Google Cloud can have the better model, and EU governments MUST legally prefer European alternatives.
AWS, Microsoft, and Google currently control roughly 70% of the European cloud market. Brussels is now openly targeting greater independence from US providers in cloud, AI, and semiconductors.
The largest regulatory market-share transfer in tech history is being written into law right now.
But the real story is how this happened...
On June 10, 2025, a man almost no one outside Brussels had heard of walked into the French Senate. His name is Anton Carniaux, Director of Public and Legal Affairs at Microsoft France.
Senator Dany Wattebled asked him under oath whether he could guarantee that data belonging to French citizens, stored on Microsoft European servers, would never be transmitted to US authorities without explicit consent from the French government.
Carniaux answered honestly. He admitted he could not guarantee it, because Microsoft must comply with the US CLOUD Act regardless of where European data physically sits. One sentence of sworn testimony from Microsoft's own counsel killed every sovereign cloud defense Big Tech had spent five years building.
It became the legal foundation for the law unveiled today.
Then Trump accelerated the divorce.
January 2025 brought executive orders expanding US surveillance authorities. Vance went to Munich and attacked European democracies on stage.
The tariffs followed and so did the Pentagon's $200 million AI contract war that ended with OpenAI replacing Anthropic after Hegseth labeled it a supply chain risk. So did OpenAI's Stargate and yesterday's Trump AI Executive Order, whose Section 3 lets the White House pick which AI companies get 30-day early access to frontier models. American AI was officially declared a US government strategic asset.
Europe heard every word of it.
On May 12, Mistral CEO Arthur Mensch told the French National Assembly that Europe had 24 months to build sovereign AI infrastructure or become a permanent US VASSAL state.
And the response came fast:
April 24: Cohere acquired Germany's Aleph Alpha for $20 billion with both Germany's and Canada's digital ministers in the room at the Berlin announcement. May 30: SoftBank committed up to $87 BILLION for French nuclear-powered data centers, the largest AI infrastructure project in European history.
Yesterday: EU Parliament announced it's dropping Google for French search engine Qwant tomorrow. France ordered every government workstation off Windows and onto Linux.
Today the Cloud and AI Development Act made all of it law.
- Mistral is building a 1.4 gigawatt AI campus near Paris by 2028 with Nvidia, MGX, and Bpifrance
- SAP's EU AI Cloud, launched last November, runs on Cohere, Mistral, and SAP's own sovereign infrastructure
- McKinsey forecasts $600 billion in sovereign AI needs by 2030
None of that money is going to Silicon Valley.
The America First AI policy built a wall around the world's most regulated economy, and American companies are on the wrong side of it.
Microsoft's lawyer told the truth in a Senate hearing nobody watched. Trump turned that admission into a national security narrative while the EU turned that narrative into procurement law.
And one entire continent walked away from the American tech stack...
The Trump administration is sending ships to rip 900 ocean sensors out of the Atlantic and Pacific — and Congress already told them twice they couldn't do it.**
They're doing it anyway.
Deutschland hat kein Geldproblem.
Deutschland hat ein Oben-unten-Problem.
Unten gelten 13,3 Millionen Menschen als armutsgefährdet.
Oben wächst die Zahl der Superreichen.
Und dazwischen steht eine Politik, die beim Bürgergeld die Lupe auspackt, bei Milliardenvermögen aber plötzlich kurzsichtig wird.
Beim Rentner fragt man:
Kann der nicht noch länger arbeiten?
Beim Kranken fragt man:
Kann der nicht mehr selbst zahlen?
Beim Arbeitslosen fragt man:
Will der überhaupt?
Beim Superreichen fragt man:
Hoffentlich erschrecken wir ihn nicht.
So sieht kein gerechter Sozialstaat aus.
So sieht ein Land aus, das Armut verwaltet und Reichtum hofiert.
The Embassy of Ukraine to Ireland expresses its serious concern regarding the continued export of alumina from Ireland to the Russian Federation.
According to a trade data, this troubling trade flow has increased significantly, with exports rising from €196 million in 2021 to €318 million in 2025, positioning the Russian Federation as the largest destination for Irish alumina exports and surpassing traditional European partners. This represents the highest level of exports to Russia since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
These figures raise serious concerns, as alumina remains a critical raw material for the production of aluminium, which is extensively used by Russia’s military-industrial complex. Aluminium is used in the manufacture of a wide range of Russian military systems, including Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Tsirkon hypersonic missiles, Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles, as well as Shahed-136/Geran-2 attacks unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The devastating consequences of Russia’s military production continue to be felt daily by the people of Ukraine. Over the past week alone, the Russian Federation has launched more than 2,900 attack drones, nearly 1,560 guided aerial bombs, and more than 150 missiles of various types against Ukrainian cities and communities. Every activity may contribute to sustaining Russia’s industrial and military capacity warrants careful examination.
The Embassy takes note of the ongoing investigation being conducted by the relevant Irish authorities and welcomes the Irish Government’s commitment to establishing all relevant facts. We look forward to the timely conclusion of this process and to any measures deemed necessary on the basis of its findings.
Ukraine fully recognises the importance of protecting jobs, communities, and industrial competitiveness in Ireland and across the European Union. At the same time, Russia’s continued war of aggression requires constant vigilance to ensure that commercial activities do not directly or indirectly contribute to sustaining the military capabilities of a state engaged in a brutal and unprovoked war against a sovereign European nation.
Ukraine highly values its strong partnership with Ireland and deeply appreciates the steadfast support and solidarity demonstrated by the Irish Government and the Irish people since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. We count on Ireland’s continued leadership in supporting Ukraine, strengthening the effectiveness of international sanctions, and ensuring that European resources, technologies, and supply chains cannot be exploited to sustain Russia’s war machine.
The Embassy of Ukraine remains committed to constructive engagement with Irish partners on this important issue in the shared interests of European security, international law, and accountability.
@JessieTweeting Integration will work like skirmishers in old times. A specialized sub element, trained at its own military schools with its own set of tactics. But ultimately their job will be shaping operations, scouting and support of the core troops, if ground is to be conquered
