@FoxNews Should @POTUS call @InfantinoGianni to change this into a win for #USA?

Norway manager Stale Solbakken believes Fifa made a "bad bad bad bad bad decision' on suspending Folarin Balogun's ban.

[Marc Van Ranst @vanranstmarc]

@stoolpresidente The difference between Belgium and the US is that in Belgium, we don’t have a president with a FIFA Peace Prize, a direct line to Infantino, and a complete absence of moral fiber.

Banning Russian soldiers from entering the EU is a necessary security measure that must be enforced without exception.

[Rob Jetten @MinPres]

The Russian aggression against Ukraine cannot go unpunished. That is why we need to establish a special tribunal to prosecute those responsible for this aggression. The Dutch government decided today that the Netherlands is willing to serve as the host country—including for the operational phase of this special tribunal—subject to certain conditions.

I just spoke with President @ZelenskyyUa about this important step. We continue to support Ukraine. This will also be one of the key topics at the NATO summit in Ankara next week.

@PolymarketIntel @POTUS this is not correct and misinformation check the facts.

@FoxNews This is the most corrupt administration ever!

[Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo]

The only acceptable end to this war is Russia's defeat. It's in our deep strategic interest to give Ukraine the support they need to win this war.

Prime Minister of Italy

"I called on President Putin to end his attack on Ukraine and withdraw troops from Ukraine’s territory, so that this war can finally end.

Russia could easily restore peace in Ukraine at any time by withdrawing from the illegally occupied territories and re-establishing Ukraine's sovereignty and full territorial integrity.”

simply, I adore her😉🙌

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

SEN. DURBIN: Trump announced he would end war in Ukraine on his 1st day in office.

Instead, Trump and Vance publicly humiliated Zelenskyy and made embarrassing friendly overtures to Putin. Hard to understand.

Putin's response was to thumb his nose at U.S. and any peace efforts.

In fact, in recent months, Russia has launched some of the deadliest attacks on civilian targets since war in Ukraine began.

Russia has continued its acts of sabotage and provocation throughout NATO and Europe.

Not to mention its supplying of targeting information to Iran to hit U.S. interests in the region.

🇮🇹🇺🇸 Italy's Meloni responds to Trump:

"President Trump, these constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless.

As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you.

My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy’s national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done.

[The] use [of American bases in Italy] is governed by agreements that we have always respected, and that cannot be violated as long as I am Prime Minister.

Italy remains a sovereign nation.

In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours."

There’s no pause button in the Constitution, or the War Powers Act. We’re at war. We’ve been at war for 60 days. The blockade alone is a continuing act of war. Failing to seek congressional approval, Trump is breaking the law & betraying Americans. https://t.co/ZaH26dlu7F

❗️Unwavering resolve is essential to defend Ukraine and its courageous people in order to achieve a lasting and just peace, said King Charles III of Britain in the US Congress.

He drew a parallel with September 11, 2001. At that time, NATO invoked Article 5 on collective defense for the first time in support of America. In the King’s view, the world now needs the same level of unity.

After his words in support of Ukraine, Charles received a 15-second standing ovation from Congress.

As Politico reports, this part of the speech was a direct appeal to Trump and Republicans to maintain US support in opposing Russia’s invasion.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

King Charles to President Trump:

“Indeed you recently commented, Mr. President, that if it were not for the United States, European countries would be speaking German. Dare I say that if it wasn't for us, you'd be speaking French”

[Institute for the Study of War @TheStudyofWar]

MORE: Sweden’s military intelligence analysis of Russia’s economic problems is consistent with ISW’s ongoing assessment that Russia’s prioritization of its defense industry is hurting the civilian sectors of the economy and that high battlefield losses are impacting the Russian economy.

ISW has long assessed that the true Russian inflation rate is higher than the Kremlin publicly claims and that the Kremlin has been spreading narratives that exaggerate Russia’s strength to support its demands at the negotiating table.
