President Donald J. Trump and his entire pack of irresponsible people are a threat to the security of Europe and North Atlantic civilization. #FuckTrump
Ukraine must not yield to either the barbarian Putin or the bandit Trump: Europe and Ukraine must unite against Russian barbarity and American betrayal!

Ahead of the European Council meeting, we discussed with António Costa @eucopresident and Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen further steps on Ukraine’s path toward accession to the European Union and coordinated our positions. It is important to open the remaining five negotiating clusters in the near future. We also expect to receive the first tranche from the EU financial support package soon in order to strengthen our defense.
Special attention was paid to security cooperation and our work with the European Union on an agreement in the Drone Deal format. We also discussed defense support for Ukraine, above all strengthening air defense and protection against Russian ballistic missiles.
I am grateful to the leaders for their support and readiness to work together for the common security of both Ukraine and all of Europe.
.@SECWAR “As President Trump put it, he gave our allies a test—to support America when we asked for their help—and too many failed it.
The United States has defended Europe for GENERATIONS, and all the President said was that our jets need to take off from bases in Europe or our ships from ports to strike targets in the Middle East...
Too many of our allies said no or tried to drown us in arcane legal debates, or criticized us publicly for doing what they aren’t prepared or able to do themselves—IT WAS SHAMEFUL."
.@SECWAR "Our posture is ONE OF STRENGTH.
Iran is going to have EVERY OPPORTUNITY to cut the kind of deal they should at the table, and if they don't—THE WAR DEPARTMENT WILL BE RIGHT HERE READY TO GO."
.@SECWAR “One key difference between this agreement and others is this was BORN OF STRENGTH of American action.
JCPOA came from a bunch of begging and talking—this agreement came after months of bombing and a blockade that was IMPENETRABLE.”
Applebaum: 90–95% of Ukraine's weapons are now either made in Europe or made in Ukraine. Ukrainians make most of their own drones — around 4 million last year and 7 million this year, maybe more.
They're becoming more and more self-sufficient in what they can produce. 1/

One of the most popular questions asked by Muscovites this morning is “What is going on?”
I can answer. Your country started a war of aggression against ours. For years, it has been killing our people.
Now that you know what’s going on, ask Putin when he is planning to end it.
