United we stand, divided we fall. Protecting & supporting the EU Values. Retweeting for awareness on Russian war against European values . Fella in disguise.
Because every European should act now against Russian aggression : Слава Україні! Героям Слава!
Слава Нації! Смерть ворогам! Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes! Glory to the nation! Death to enemies!
HODGES: Trump administration has failed miserably on Ukraine. They have so clearly been on Kremlin's side. All the pressure has been on Ukraine to make concessions. Fortunately, Ukraine no longer even pays much attention to that.
Biden administration missed an opportunity because they never said, "We want Ukraine to win." They had this nonsense, "We're with you for as long as it takes," which means exactly zero. But at least they were providing support.
Trump administration is worse and It does feel like they now realize that their approach was doomed from the beginning, because they didn't understand why the war started or how it started.
They didn't understand why Ukrainians were fighting the way they were and why the Russians were failing the way they were. So despite Trump administration, I think Ukraine has changed the trajectory of the war.
The last thing I'd say is that most European countries realize that the best way to prevent Russia from ever attacking a NATO country is to make sure that Ukraine defeats Russia.
I think most people realize that Russia has to be defeated. That Russia will never change until they are actually crushed.
Growing numbers of Ukrainian women in areas recaptured from Russian occupation are starting to speak about the sexual violence they experienced at the hands of Russian soldiers.

More than 500 personnel of the State Emergency Service have been involved in dealing with the aftermath of Russia’s overnight attack on our cities and communities. The main strike was on Kyiv, where dozens of residential buildings and other purely civilian infrastructure were damaged again. Tragically, four people have been reported killed. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. At this moment, 38 people are in hospitals in the capital, and all of them are receiving the necessary care.
In Dnipro, a search and rescue operation is ongoing at the site of a four-story apartment building. Part of the building was essentially demolished. Nine people were killed in this attack, including a child. Thirty-five people were injured in the city. The fate of six more people remains unknown. The search for them will continue for as long as necessary.
The Russians also struck energy facilities in the Kharkiv region and critical infrastructure in Kharkiv. Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Sumy, Chernihiv, and Khmelnytskyi regions also came under attack.
In total, overnight Russia launched 656 attack drones and 73 missiles of various types at our people – ballistic, cruise, and anti-ship missiles. A large-scale attack and an absolutely clear statement from Russia: if Ukraine is not protected from ballistic and other missile strikes, these attacks will continue. Europe needs its own anti-ballistic defense so that this war can finally be brought to an end. And assistance from the United States in supplying missiles for Patriot systems is absolutely necessary. We are counting on the support of our partners and on effective responses to today’s attack.
And I thank all Ukrainian men and women for not ignoring air raid alerts.
Glory to Ukraine!
⚡️ French officials face intense scrutiny after the former chief of Kremlin propaganda network RT France was quietly granted a 10-year residency permit.

For weeks, Irish politicians have dodged questions about the refinery in Ireland supplying Russia’s war machine.
So I tracked down government minister Niall Collins at a farming show.
He refuses to back sanctions & his stance was worse than I expected.
Avoidance.
Ukraine is under a massive Russian attack right now. Drones are everywhere, missiles have been launched, and they are expected to reach our airspace soon. It's going to be a bad night.
Please keep us in your thoughts.
After every Russian escalation into a NATO country we hear leaders repeating the mantra "We stand with..."
But we could do much more than standing around.
For example — we could create a European-Ukrainian defense union. Fund it with confiscated Russian frozen assets. Close the skies in Ukraine, making Ukraine and other frontline states safer.
These things are very possible and this work could start today.
Instead, I am sadly reminded of how Britain and France “stood with” Poland in 1939 while that country was being dismembered. It was called the Phony War, because mere declarations of “support” mean very little on the ground, and do nothing to prevent real war.
Actions always speak louder than words, and usually cost much less than inaction.
Facts: Russia has the 5th highest HIV rate in the world, 52% of Russian hospitals lack hot water, 20% of Russian homes lack indoor plumbing, the life expectancy is 13 years below France, the domestic violence, alcoholism, and death rates are off the charts. Enjoy.
Putin’s forces struck a maternity ward and a hospital administration building in Ukraine’s Odesa region.
Six mothers with newborn babies and a woman in labor were inside the facility at the time of the attack. Fortunately, no casualties were reported.
SEN. KELLY: Information warfare is one of the biggest challenges that all democracies are now facing, especially with regard to elections.
I just spent time with President of Moldova, and interference that Russians applied in their election is happening to us too.
I sit on Senate Armed Services Committee, but I’m also member of Senate Intelligence Committee. The amount of misinformation we deal with, especially in election year, is significant, and it’s growing.
It’s not just Russians. Chinese, Iranians, and even North Koreans are doing it. Though with North Koreans, we’ve pretty much figured it out. They’re not very good at making it look like it’s coming from American.
But Russians are. When you see political information on social media around the time of one of our elections, you might think it’s Marine at 29 Palms talking about candidate, but it could actually be Russian in St. Petersburg.
Ukrainians recaptured about 46km near Pokrovsk🇺🇦🙌
It's possible that Ukraine`s advances are possibly going to speed up with its attacks on Russian logisitcs and supplies.
Ukraine will never be defeated 💪
Europe is asleep. Ukraine isn’t.
russian strategic aviation command activity detected.
Multiple UAV launches recorded.
Signs point to a large-scale strike.
Another sleepless night ahead.
Ireland’s contribution to European security appears to be exporting alumina to Russia.
According to Eurostat, Ireland accounted for roughly 94% of all EU exports of alumina to Russia in 2023 (€231 million), 98% in 2024 (€347 million), and 99% in 2025 (€316 million).
Germany, Italy, and everyone else are statistical noise by comparison.
According to investigators, Irish alumina goes to 40 firms that have been sanctioned by the EU, and whose weapons have killed thousands of civilians and caused widespread damage in Ukraine.
A fascinating interpretation of “neutrality”: supplying a key raw material for Russia’s aluminium industry while Europe debates how to stop financing the Kremlin’s war machine. But important to mention that European Union still allows export of alumina to Russia in principle.#alumina21
🇬🇧🇮🇪 Britain raises alarm over Ireland, that has become a "back door" for Russian spies, - The Telegraph
Dublin has issued 14,000 visas to Russian citizens - with an approval rate of 90% for the period since the start of the large-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Ireland is a member of the Common Travel Area together with the UK, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Anyone who enters Ireland effectively gains access to Britain - without additional checks.
New: Russia has been blowing things up and killing people in Europe for at least a decade and a half. Stop fearing an escalation that’s already happened and acknowledge what Russian officials themselves now say quite openly: it’s war. https://t.co/7Ofd6HI3ON
Every day, ships leave this russian owned factory in Ireland straight for St Petersburg carrying thousands of tonnes of raw alumina for the war machine.
There’s corruption everywhere. Locals tell me politicians are bought by oligarchs.
Ireland is no longer militarily neutral.
We must constantly share with the widest possible audience the stories of all those who have been, with a sadism that no normal person can imagine, tortured, tormented, raped, and murdered by the russians—tens of thousands of them.
These countless cases are all well-documented.
Europe’s fatal habit is to mistake clarity for madness. Every time Russia announces its ambitions, Europeans dismiss it as the drunken nonsense of a Kremlin propagandist. Then they act shocked when those ambitions land in apartment blocks.
