The Nordic and Baltic countries must uphold order and protect the fragile environment in the Baltic https://t.co/IyuZyjsQK6 do this they should enforce 3 steps for ships of Russia’s shadow fleet:
1. Check that all ships of the shadow fleet have proper insurance (1/4)

The superpowers missed the memo: the EU is no longer the geopolitical dwarf they thought it was! 🇪🇺💪

It’s time for both Putin and Trump to get a reality check. Sweden's top diplomat Olof Skoog, currently serving within the EU's external action service, just dropped some truth bombs in an interview with Svenska Dagbladet. The outdated cliché that the European Union is merely an economic giant but a geopolitical dwarf is officially dead and buried.

Skoog points out that Vladimir Putin completely underestimated the sheer strength and unity of the EU's support for Ukraine. Meanwhile, Donald Trump clearly miscalculated how Europe would respond to his trade wars and his random comments about buying Greenland. Ironically, all this global bullying has only served to weld the European Union closer together than anyone expected.

Thanks to Russia's aggressive foreign policy, US protectionism, and endless chaos in the Middle East, the EU has suddenly become the most sought-after partner on the global stage. Countries are quite literally lining up to sign defense, security, and trade partnerships. Even Armenia, historically a staunch ally of Russia, is actively moving closer to the EU's orbit. Skoog notes that the EU's top priority remains backing Ukraine until sanctions thoroughly drain the Russian economy. According to the diplomat, the EU's biggest "enemy" right now is simply its own lack of confidence and its inability to realize its massive global potential. Stand tall, Brussels! 💅🇪🇺

The West must show resilience and determination, Ukraine needs more weapons, not just promises...

Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world.

Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures.

What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform:

Special video from Moscow 🤗

[Olena Tregub @OTregub]

People ask: “What will happen to Ukraine now that Ukraine is bombing Moscow?”

Let’s think.

Will Russia invade us?
Bomb our cities with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles drones?
Destroy our civilian critical infrastructure?
Occupy our towns?
Rape and kill civilians, kids, women?
Kidnap Ukrainian children and train them as soldiers ?
Set up filtration camps?
Torture and starve POWs?
Use chemical weapons on the front line?

Wait.

Russia has already done all of this.

[Beefeater @Beefeater_Fella]

Trump is lamenting his team loss

Trump: If that Russian general had just walked straight down the concrete highway, they would have been in Kyiv in four hours, and Ukraine wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it. That war would have been over in a day. That was a terrible mistake.

No you pedophile protecting felon.

It was a mistake to invade, rape, torture and murder Ukrainians.

@realDonaldTrump you despicable criminal twunt.

[Prof. Bonk 🇺🇦 Perverse & Unintended Consequences @actfast]

🇷🇺 Russia told Moscow the drones were stopped. Then Moscow burned.

No sirens. No shelters. Just officials counting downed drones while the vital birds got through.

Ukraine didn’t have to hit everything.
It only needed to break Russia’s lie.⬇️🇺🇦🎧https://t.co/8UgAl58Tty

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

ZELENSKYY: Russia is paying for continuing this war with losses of at least 30,000 soldiers every month on the front line. This number will only grow as we improve our ability to stop Russian attacks. Our drones showing strong results, our army fighting effectively and bravely.

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Kuleba: This war will not end in the middle with a deal. Empires don't function that way. One side will remain — Ukraine will win.

Putin wanted to restore the empire. Instead he'll throw it into the abyss of history, and himself with it. The only question left is the price. 4X

[Giorgi Revishvili @revishvilig]

General Christopher Cavoli, former SACEUR:

Ukraine has pulled off one of the most remarkable military feats of a century. It has managed, against the odds, to fight Russia to a standstill in its invasion and is turning around and regaining moderate amounts of territory. 1/12

Satellite images of Moscow's oil refinery after Ukrainian strikes show damaged tanks, including the one that became a meme when its lid got blown dozens of meters into the air by an air defense missile. Damage also visible at the AVT-6 unit and fire traces near the Sadovod market, Radio Svoboda reports.

🔥 A new batch of hellish deliveries for the occupiers from SBU's "Alpha"

In the last week alone, they destroyed and hit:

▪️ 4 tanks
▪️ 7 armored personnel carriers
▪️ 22 artillery systems and MLRS
▪️ 9 air defense systems
▪️ 4 radar/EW systems
▪️ 598 vehicles
▪️ 1,182 UAVs, 79 of their crews and 491 communication antennas
▪️ 348 enemy positions and fortifications
▪️ and much more.

In addition, our special forces have neutralized more than 1,700 occupiers.

💔Chasiv Yar. Before the russians came to loot and destroy this place, this was home for 15000 people. Now there’s not even a building standing that hasn’t been damaged or completely destroyed.

This is what russia call “liberation”. It’s pure evil.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

🇬🇧 General Shirreff: Ukrainians are on a roll, gaining the initiative and bringing the war home to Russia.

Russians are losing roughly 1,000 soldiers a day and 35,000 a month. About 70% of Russian casualties are dead. Extraordinary numbers.

Ukraine’s level of innovation and adaptation is off the scale in terms of speed and ingenuity.

Ukrainians are striking deep into Russia and hitting oil infrastructure. Something like 40% of Russia’s oil-exporting infrastructure has been neutralized or put out of action.

Ukrainians are striking Russia’s ability to supply itself. The highways into Crimea from Rostov-on-Don, around Sea of Azov and then south to Crimean Peninsula, and ability to supply southern front and Donbas, are all being seriously impacted.

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Hodges: Putin's nightmare — momentum shifts irreversibly in Ukraine's favor. He loses oil and gas exports. Oligarchs push back openly. Europe begins stopping shadow fleet vessels in the Baltic and Black Sea.

When all of that converges — it's over for him. He'll know it. 1/

[Victorious 🇪🇺🇲🇩🇷🇴🇺🇦✌️ @punclizme]

It is shameful and embarrassing that Moldova, one of the poorest countries in Europe, made the decision to renounce russki gas in 2022 at great cost to our people. Yet Belgium, one of the richest countries in Europe is unable or unwilling to do so 4 years later.

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Hodges: The Kerch Bridge is a high-payoff target, not just logistically but psychologically. Destroying Putin's bridge would demolish morale and erode the false narrative of inevitable Russian victory

The Ukrainians will pick the right time. It will require a lot of explosive 1/

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Zelenskyy: Lukashenko says he doesn't want to be dragged into this war. He should be honest with his own people.

It's not him being dragged in, it's his entire country, dragged in by Russia. They've been doing this since day one of the full-scale invasion. That is a fact. 1/

[Tomi 🇺🇦🇫🇮🇪🇺 @TallbarFIN]

Germany, US and few others opposed Ukraine having long-range weapons because they feared attacks on Moscow.

Ukraine developed these capabilities itself and is now striking Moscow daily with devastating success.

Did World War III begin?

No.

Its time to force Putin to retreat.
