NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:

Dear Ambassador:

President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]

“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President @ZelenskyyUa.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦

@FranckenTheo 👌 zeer goede vraag. Ze moet haar namelijk wel verantwoorden aan de belastingbetaler. Op naar een parlementaire commissie

Als je nog wakker bent… ga naar buiten. Zelfs met het blote oog zien we in Oostakker Gent het noorderlicht. Op foto (met de iPhone) zeker! Waw 😍

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Missiles against peaceful cities, against residential buildings, a cathedral... There can be no excuse for Russian evil. As always, this evil will lose. And there will definitely be a retaliation to Russian terrorists for Odesa. They will feel this retaliation.

All those who suffered from this latest terrorist attack are being provided with assistance.
I am grateful to everyone who is helping people and to everyone who is with Odesa in their thoughts and emotions. We will get through this. We will restore peace. And for this, we must defeat the Russian evil.

[Mriya Report @MriyaReport]

500 days since russia started the full scale invasion of Ukraine. At dawn on day 500, Ukrainian President #Zelenskyy went out on a boat to visit the free Snake Island & honour those who gave their lives. A strong sign & significant act of personal bravery

@KAAGent Helemaal eens ! Als de VAR dit niet ziet en bestraft beschadigt ze het vertrouwen van fans in een eerlijke wedstrijd en kan die net zo goed afgeschaft worden

[Carl Bildt @carlbildt]

I don’t know what the 🇷🇺 ambassador to 🇰🇿 really said, but the rebuttal he got was certainly most powerful.

[Frederik De Wachter @freddewachter]

@steve_hanke Believe it or not, stupid tweets undermine democracy because they lack context. Polarised (social) media are only after $$$ for views. Our public television and qualitative media do factchecks (in Dutch) https://t.co/58EBts0SJZ How does the US fight the damage of fake news?

[Frederik De Wachter @freddewachter]

@RusEmbUSA @mfa_russia @MID_RF @USEmbRu @StateDept @USApoRusski Why read a statement of liars. Start with allowing free press in your country and we’ll read them.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

It was important to start my visit in Bucha.

Because in Bucha our humanity was shattered.

My message to Ukrainian people:

Those responsible for the atrocities will be brought to justice.

Your fight is our fight.

I’m in Kyiv today to tell you that Europe is on your side.

Fuck you Russia. You’re going to pay for this.

[Frederik De Wachter @freddewachter]

@Dpol_un You Russians have been lying since I was a kid. Lying about wars, lying about elections, about Tsjernobyl, the Kursk, court cases, murders etc.. you rank lowest on the press freedom index. Who do you think I trust? Respected research journalist globally or your propaganda? 🙄

[Anonymous @LatestAnonPress]

Russian FSB leaked information alerted Ukraine to assassination plot against President @ZelenskyyUa. Now, we can expect an internal power struggle within the Kremlin to overthrow the Putin regime. In the meantime, let's continue with the attacks.

Mijn gedacht over de zoveelste COP X en waarom machtsverhoudingen en speltheorie belangrijk zijn om te begrijpen waarom het zo tergend traag vooruit gaat.

Bedrijf dat trajectcontroles organiseert vangt 24€ per boete. En speculeert er op dat op termijn er nog altijd 'genoeg' overtredingen gaan zijn. Is conclusie dan niet nu al: dit is geen optimale investering van lokaal bestuur om verkeer veiliger te maken? https://t.co/fOKvvNdCMH
