Tämä on veret seisauttava raportti. Vastuunkantajat ovat jättäneet Suomen. Taitaa yksi olla vielä kotimaassa. Olisiko kokeneempi viisikko tehnyt toisin? Olisiko presidentti voinut puuttua?
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
In June this year, Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine will match the entire duration of World War I.
And yes, I have little faith this war will end before then.
Because if anything, Donald Trump and a year of catastrophic, delusional collusion with the Kremlin gave Putin every reason to keep going and escalating his atrocities with near-total impunity.
At best, the past year prolonged the war and delayed the moment when Russia is finally exhausted economically and militarily, and forced to stop by Ukraine’s heroic defense.
So I’m afraid that amid all this empty bravado and those humiliating, knee-bending trips to the Kremlin by random NYC real estate agents, we’ll be marking yet another bleak milestone, just as we did this January, when the war matched the duration of the Eastern Front in World War II.
The battle for Ukraine continues...
As leaders gather in Davos to discuss and share ideas, the contrast is stark as Russia continues its strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, seriously affecting and endangering the life of innocent civilians.
When the temperatures drop far below freezing, energy becomes a question of survival. Thousands of houses are now without heating.
Russia’s reckless actions speak louder than words. They make it painfully clear that, unfortunately, Russia is not seeking peace.
EU maat voisivat poistua Davosista keskiviikkona ja siten osoittaa, että eivät jää kuuntelemaan Trumpin luentoa. Toinen vaihtoehto on poistua salista luennon aikana jos esille tulisi Grönlanti. Paheksuvat hymyt eivät riitä. Diplomatialla on nimittäin myös rajansa kuten nähty?
I will yell to the next European journalist calling the USA “the greatest democracy in the world”.
A violent police-state where untrained officers can legally beat citizens up or slam girls on the floor by pulling their hair… for standing with a sign on a bridge. Russia does it
Iran’s regime has shut down the internet to be able to kill and oppress in silence. This will not be tolerated. We stand with the people of Iran—women and men alike.
I will summon the Iranian ambassador this morning. Together with the EU, Finland is exploring measures to help restore freedom to the Iranian people.
God, if only you could see how incredibly outraged the Russian Z-fascists on Telegram are.
Landing helicopter troops in the capital of an independent sovereign state, attacking its air-defense systems, and seizing its leader — a blatant violation of international law!
Where has such a thing ever been seen!!
Ukraine did not start this war. Russia started it. Ukraine supported President Trump’s proposal for a ceasefire. Ukraine has agreed to many different compromises, and this is documented in our draft agreements, in our 20-point plan. Ukraine is willing to do whatever it takes to stop this war.
For us, priority number one – or the only priority – is ending the war. For us, the priority is peace. We need to be strong at the negotiating table. To be strong, we need the support of the world: Europe and the United States. And this includes air defenses – which are currently insufficient, weaponry – which is currently insufficient, and money – thankfully, there is now a European decision, but, frankly, there is a constant shortage of funds, in particular for the production of weapons and, most importantly, drones.
In this war of Russia against Ukraine, we want peace, and Russia demonstrates a desire to continue the war. If the whole world – Europe and America – is on our side, together we will stop Putin. Because together we will all want the same thing: an end to the war, peace – a normal peace, a sustainable peace, safe for the whole world. If anyone – whether the U.S. or Europe – is on Russia’s side, this means the war will continue. There are no other options here. And this is a risk for all countries in the world. Because Russia will not stop, regardless of any agreements, any eloquent messages from them. They will not stop at Ukraine.
The coward state Russia earns nothing but the world’s contempt. Unable to defeat an army, it wages war on apartment blocks and playgrounds. Its missiles, guided by incompetence and malice in equal measure, find their targets in the homes of sleeping children.
Keep fighting,UA🇺🇦
Almost noon in Kyiv, and it's finally all clear. This massive combined 10h air raid was extremely exhausting, with barrages of ballistic and cruise missiles and four waves of drones targeting the energy grid and families in their sleep.
More than ten residential buildings were hit. 28 were injured, people are still under rubble. Many report losing electricity, heating, and water.
Ukraine's air defenders, energy engineers, and first responders are titans, as always.
