NB8 (Nordic-Baltic countries) is emerging as a new powerhouse within the Western allied space. The meeting of heads of government held today in Tallinn marked a new chapter in the cooperation of eight like-minded and strong democracies. An integral part of this is the defence of Ukraine’s sovereignty. The presence of the President of Ukraine at the meeting was highly significant. 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹🇫🇮🇳🇴🇮🇸🇸🇪🇩🇰🇺🇦
Today with @GWLVoices, I will discuss my vision as candidate for UN Secretary-General. Looking forward to this exchange which I invite you to follow: https://t.co/iTeL4bRNtK

🔴 BREAKING: Russian forces conducted a massive drone and missile strike against the Kharkiv region overnight.
At least three people were killed, and 18 were injured in the city of Kharkiv and the surrounding region, according to the State Emergency Service.
😏 Zelensky said that Ukrainian soldiers on the front line have greater access to the internet than Russians in central Moscow
“Our soldiers can use social media right on the battlefield. Nobody stops them. In Moscow, they don’t have that — even in the center of the capital, people don’t use social media.”
Fedorow: „Ich würde mir sehr wünschen dass möglichst viele Militärführer aus Kyjiw einmal dorthin kommen wo der deutsche Verteidigungsminister war. Nur wer in der Nähe der Front ist – wer mit Menschen an der Frontlinie spricht – wer Erfolge und Probleme mit eigenen Augen sieht – kann eine Armee effektiv führen."
Deutschlands Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius hat zusammen mit Ukraines Digitalminister Fedorow die Frontzone besucht – Kommandoposten nahe der Kampflinie. Nicht an der Nulllinie. Aber nah genug. Das ist ein starkes Signal der deutschen Beteiligung an diesem Krieg.

Within the framework of @zerowasteforum 2026, our members held a meeting with Samed Ağırbaş (@samedagirbas ), COP31 Climate High-Level Champion and CEO of the Zero Waste Foundation.
The discussion focused on NGIC’s role in the preparations for COP31, opportunities for collaboration during London Climate Action Week, and the Center’s engagement and contribution to COP31 activities.
FREDERIKSEN: One of the things where I have disagreed with some of my colleagues is all the red lines that have been put on Ukraine, because I don't think you can win a war with red lines.
You remember in the beginning, we were willing to give away some of our F-16s. We were not allowed to do that because some allies said, "Well, we cannot put our fighter jets in Ukraine."
Then we had questions about long-range weapons. That was also red line. There have been so many red lines. It's almost like we have asked you to defend Europe with one arm behind your back.
That has not been fair. And one of the ways to get around some of these red lines is producing directly in Ukraine, because now you can produce some of the weapons that some allies have been refusing to give you.
This is wild: russia struck the Central storage facility for spent nuclear fuel in the Kyiv region.
The attack partially damaged the building used to receive nuclear fuel containers and sparked a fire, which has since been extinguished. Fortunately, no spent nuclear fuel was stored in the affected section, and Energoatom reports that radiation levels remain within normal limits.
For years, russia has been using nuclear facilities as instruments of intimidation and coercion. russia's nuclear terrorism goes in broad daylight with full impunity. But don't forget that radiation has no borders.

#NGIC participated in the High-Level Ministerial Session on Environment and Climate: “Advancing Climate Mitigation through Zero Waste Solutions: From Istanbul to COP31 Antalya” as part of the Zero Waste Forum 2026.
🇺🇲Le sénateur Jim Himes du Connecticut :
"Je viens de rentrer d'Ukraine. Les gens que j'y ai rencontrés sont les plus courageux que j'aie jamais vus. Ils luttent chaque jour contre la tyrannie russe. Nous sommes à un tournant : le Congrès peut débattre pendant des mois, ou bien nous pouvons soutenir ceux qui se battent pour la liberté, comme nous l'avons toujours fait. Je sais de quel côté je me situe. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦"

The puppet Georgian Dream PM has accused our excellent and honorable Secretary of State @SecRubio of lying. This is outrageous. Georgia is infiltrated by Iran, China & Russia – its behavior must change!
