Western audiences are completely failing to grasp the monumental scale of the war in Ukraine due to a constant barrage of disinformation and competing international crises.

The sheer volume of casualties (including civilian) has been systematically downplayed, leaving the true magnitude of the war nearly invisible outside of Ukraine itself.

There is a pervasive belief among even pro-Ukrainian Europeans that this conflict is a somewhat ”clean” war with limited civilian casualties. This narrative flies in the face of reality, as the war has amassed approximately 2 million total casualties over the last four and a half years, with a breakdown of approximately two-thirds Russian and one-third Ukrainian. Despite Russia having more total casualties, Ukraine has dozens of times more civilian casualties than Russia. This crushing disparity tells you everything about the ruthless reality of Russia's campaign.

A purely numerical comparison with the war in Gaza highlights the gap in Western perception. As of May 2026, more than two years of war in Gaza resulted in at least 75,811 reported deaths, both sides included. In stark contrast, the Uppsala Conflict Data Program reveals that the single three-month siege of Mariupol saw between 27,000 and 88,000 fatalities. Most of them were Ukrainian civilians.

Even though Mariupol had a population five times smaller than Gaza, its death toll in just three months potentially surpassed Gaza's total over two years. On a bigger level, the approximately 2 million total casualties in Ukraine match the population of the entire Gaza Strip.

This comparison is strictly statistical, used only because the public is highly aware of Gaza's bloodshed. The Kremlin has skillfully hidden its atrocities and suppressed civilian casualty data in occupied areas, but the West must look past the propaganda and recognize the historic scale of this devastation

If you didn’t notice, Russia presented in St Petersburg a “positive scenario” for Europe’s future:

- nuclear strike on Ukraine,
- war till 2036;
- occupation of Kyiv;
- disintegration of EU;
- Russia’s domination in Europe.

Think about it next time when saying 🇷🇺 means well.

Denne måned skal en ekspertgruppe efter planen aflevere en rapport om mulighederne for at screene statsborgerskabsansøgere for antidemokratiske holdninger.

Jeg er desværre bange for, at den nye regerings ambitioner på dette område er meget begrænsede.

Så i anledning af dagen i dag vil jeg minde om: 

Første gang Folketinget stemte om tildeling af statsborgerskab, skulle der tages stilling til 10 ansøgere. De 10 fik alle deres personlige egenskaber og meritter remset op i lovforslaget. Blandet andet fik en af ansøgerne ros for sit »patriotiske sindelag«.

Allerede fra start af var der altså lagt op til, at danske værdier og loyalitet til Danmark burde være centrale kriterier i tildelingen. Man har tydeligvis også forestillet sig, at det skulle gives til et overkommeligt antal individer.

I dag tildeles statsborgerskab på samlebånd, og folketingsbeslutningen er gjort til en formssag. Ca. 5.000 om året i gennemsnit.

Sådan behøver det ikke være. Sådan bør det ikke være. Denne værdiblinde massetildeling er uansvarlig og skadelig for Danmark.

Vores grundlov giver os mulighed for at gøre det på en anden måde. Det var endda meningen.

Det kræver kun vilje og ansvarlighed. 

Glædelig Grundlovsdag.

Det vil koste staten 15-20 mia. kr. at fjerne momsen på frugt og grønt og halvere momsen på alle andre fødevarer.

For de penge ville man i stedet kunne afskaffe elafgiften og fjerne arbejdsmarkedsbidraget for de første 5.000 kroners månedsløn. Det ville føre til NUL ekstra bureaukrati i virksomheder og SKAT, og det ville lette skatten for alle danskere og særligt for folk med lave arbejdsindkomster.

Penge, som kommer i statskassen, kan kun “bruges” én gang, og ansvarlige partier bruger dem derfor klogt fremfor dumt. Moderaterne og de røde er ikke ansvarlige partier.

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.

[Mor Edge Insight @MorEdge_Insight]

Remember the European Hospital in Khan Younis last May?

Israel struck a targeted site there, and the world lost its mind.

Palestinians denied any tunnel existed underneath. The UN and European governments rushed to condemn Israel for attacking a “hospital.” Outrage, headlines, accusations of war crimes… the usual script.

Then June came.

The IDF took international media into the very same location and showed them the tunnel… a full Hamas command center, right under the emergency room.

Weapons, rooms, infrastructure. And yes, that’s where they found and confirmed the body of Mohammed Sinwar, Hamas’s top military commander and brother of Yahya Sinwar.

The strike that killed one of the architects of October 7 was surgically precise, and entirely justified.

Under the Geneva Conventions of 1949, hospitals and other medical facilities lose their protected status when they are used for military purposes, such as command centers, weapon storage, or troop movements. By deliberately turning the European Hospital into a Hamas base, the terrorists themselves stripped it of any legal protection.

Not a single apology from the UN or the European governments that rushed to condemn Israel. Not one admission they were wrong. They simply moved on to the next round of accusations.

This is the pattern. Hamas hides its terror infrastructure under civilian sites, uses hospitals as shields, and the international community reliably attacks the defender for responding, only to be proven wrong again and again and again when the evidence emerges.

How many times does this have to happen before the world stops falling for it?

We’re calling it: The war in Ukraine has entered a new phase.

@KatStepanenko and I have authored a new special report studying how Ukraine is actively challenging the positional character of the war that has dominated the battlefield since 2023.

Data on Russia’s battlefield performance indicates that the character of the war is shifting in favor of Ukrainian forces – at least for now. Russian forces rates of advances are stagnating while Ukrainian forces are employing novel tactics and operational concepts in efforts to break out of positional warfare. Neither Russia nor Ukraine can conduct operational maneuvers yet, however.

The bottom line is that the war in Ukraine is competitive and far from stalemated. Ukrainian forces are out-innovating Russian forces in both military technologies and in applying these new technologies in effective operational concepts that can help Ukrainian forces break out of positional warfare. Ukraine is employing mechanized equipment in tactical maneuvers in ways that were impossible 12 months ago. Russia’s ability to conduct infiltration missions will likely continue to degrade as Ukraine’s intermediate-range strike campaign pushes Russia’s logistics and forward operating bases further away from the frontlines, reducing resourcing to sustain infantry tasked with infiltration missions. Ukraine may be able to scale these effects if they resourced properly by international partners.

Ukraine’s advantage in intermediate range strikes is notably not permanent, and Russia will very likely eventually develop countermeasures to mitigate Ukraine’s advantages. Ukraine’s international partners thus have a rare and temporary opportunity to help Ukraine exploit favorable battlefield dynamics while Ukraine has the upper hand.

Key Points of the report:

• Russia’s rate of advance is plummeting during the Russian Spring-Summer 2026 offensive.

• Russia is losing more soldiers to make fewer gains, with monthly Russian casualty rates reportedly outpacing monthly recruitment since December 2025.

• Ukraine is starting to regain more ground than it is losing for the first time since 2023.

• Ukraine’ recent counterattacks feature unique characteristics and deviate from key trends that defined the positional character of the war since 2023.

• Ukraine is conducting a pattern of more frequent mechanized counterattacks at the tactical level for the first time since 2023.

• The Ukrainian command’s operational planning is maturing.

• Ukraine’s early 2026 counterattacks in the south were successful likely due to better planning and preparation of the battlefield.

• Ukraine has been conducting a coherent campaign to suppress and destroy Russian air defenses since late 2025, in order to shape the battlefield as part of more sophisticated campaign planning.

• Ukraine significantly intensified its intermediate-range strike campaign against dynamic targets in Spring 2026 in order to degrade Russian logistics at operational depths ahead of planned Ukrainian maneuver.

• Ukrainian forces started actively disrupting Russian railway logistics in occupied Ukraine and Russian western regions in Spring 2026.

• Ukrainian intermediate-range strikes are already achieving notable operational effects, including degrading Russia's ability to use the key Russian highway connecting Russia to occupied Crimea and GLOCs around Donetsk City.

• Ukrainian forces decisively seized the initiative in intermediate-range strikes by fielding new technologies such as the US-made Hornet strike UAV, among other systems.

• Ukrainian forces are achieving temporary tactical drone overmatch in some frontline sectors, which is slowing Russian offensive operations by degrading the effectiveness of Russian shaping operations.

• Ukrainian forces likely achieved tactical drone overmatch in certain frontline sectors after degrading Russia’s drone capabilities in late 2025 to early 2026 - primarily by suppressing drone launch positions and increasingly intercepting Russian tactical UAVs.

• Ukraine’s degradation of Russian forces at operational depth combined with tactical-level drone overmatch likely is creating vulnerabilities in the Russian lines.

• Ukraine’s intermediate-range strike campaign is likely far from its zenith, assuming continued support from Ukraine’s partners, and will likely intensify over 2026 as Ukraine fields new weapons capable of striking Russian’s operational rear.

Det er en stor fejl at tillade amerikanerne at have et kæmpe konsulat i Nuuk, og det kan blive Grønlands undergang.

Strategien om at håbe, at amerikanerne opgiver ønsket om at annektere Grønland, hvis bare vi er venlige overfor dem, har ikke på noget tidspunkt virket. Trumps ønske om at overtage Grønland er ikke aftaget, fordi vi har været høflige og samarbejdsvillige. Det eneste, som har virket har været at sætte hælene i med krystalklar kommunikation om, at Grønland aldrig kommer til at være til salg, og da vi sammen med vores allierede gjorde det klart, at vi hellere ville tage en krig mod USA end at lade dem få Grønland.

Det nye meget store amerikanske konsulat i Nuuk har én klar mission og opgave, og det er at bane vejen for en amerikansk overtagelse. Det ved vi alle sammen godt, og amerikanerne benægter det ikke en gang selv. Ikke en eneste af dem kan få over deres mund, at USA ikke ønsker at overtage Grønland. Det er stadig deres krystalklare mål defineret af deres præsident.

Det kan godt være, at vi har kunnet grine af Landrys latterlige optræden i Nuuk de sidste dage, men tag ikke fejl. Et stort amerikansk konsulat, som har en klar opgave om at destabilere Rigsfællesskabet for at USA kan sætte sig på Grønland, er et meget farligt våben. Det er den måde, amerikanerne vælter regimer over hele verden, og de er dygtige til det. De skal nok finde ud, hvad der virker, og hvor de kan skabe sprækker og problemer.

I de kommende måneder og år vil konsulatet støtte selvstændighedsbevægelsen, forsøge at kanalisere penge til den og målrettet føre propaganda mod Danmarks tilstedeværelse i Grønland. Første eksempel får vi, når rapporten om spiralsagen lander om lidt. Den kommer til at blive blæst ud over hele verden og overdrevet til det absurde af amerikanerne.

Det er fuldstændig vanvittigt, at vi tillader deres tilstedeværelse. Konsulatet skal lukkes, og folk som Landry og ham tossen, der render rundt og samler underskrifter, skal sammen med andre amerikanske påvirkningsagenter have indrejseforbud. Hvis amerikanerne ønsker at tale med grønlænderne, kan de gøre det via det grønlandske konsulat i Washington. De skal ikke have lov at rende åbent rundt i Nuuk og udføre deres undergravende virksomhed.

Der er ingen andre lande, som ville tillade det, og ingen andre lande vil rejse nogen som helst kritik af Danmark og Grønland for at beskytte sig selv. Alle vil kunne forstå, at det er helt åbenlyst nødvendigt.

Det er kun på grund af misforstået angst for at provokere Trump og hans kumpaner, at det danske diplomati tøver, fordi de stadig ikke har forstået den modstander, vi står overfor. En modstander som ikke forstår fornuft og som ikke gengælder venlighed og loyalitet, men kun bakker ud, når den møder klar og hård modstand.

[Alex Vanopslagh @AlexVanopslagh]

De sidste par uger har en bizar debat hærget. Nogle typer på den yderste højrefløj har gjort deres bedste for at argumentere for, at man ikke kan blive dansker, hvis man ikke har DNA fra Nordvesteuropa.

Som jeg tidligere har skrevet: En danskhedsopfattelse, der udelukker adopterede, velintegrerede indvandrere og andre, der både kan og vil Danmark og ønsker at være en del af vores tusindårige fortælling, det er absolut hverken LA's eller min.

De fleste danskere kender folk, der er født af udenlandske forældre eller er kommet hertil senere, og som vi uden videre opfatter som fuldgyldige danskere.

Vil man dyrke blod og jord, må man gøre det et andet sted end Liberal Alliance.

Noget af det værste ved debatten er, at den fordummer og fordrejer et ekstremt vigtigt spørgsmål, hvor der er store problemer. Hvor der skal være plads til den seriøse stemme og de saglige løsninger.

På den værdipolitiske venstrefløj er der for eksempel folk, der seriøst mener, at danskhed bare er et dansk pas. I et interview med Deadline forleden sagde Samira Nawa, at "hvis man har det danske statsborgerskab, så er man dansk". Og så var den diskussion ikke længere, måtte man forstå.

Men det er den naturligvis. For danskheden sidder nu engang ikke i passet.

Selvom det er en træls erkendelse, er der kommet en del mennesker til landet, der har fået dansk statsborgerskab, men som ikke er danske i anden forstand end den juridiske. Mange anser ikke sig selv for danske, og en stor del af deres medborgere mener heller ikke, at de er det.

Når vi kan se, at et stort antal indvandrere med muslimsk baggrund ikke vil acceptere et homoseksuelt barn, hylder en antisemitisk terrorbevægelse som Hamas, mener, at man bør undlade at gifte sig med ikke-muslimer, og ønsker, at Koranens anvisninger skal følges "fuldt ud", så er der rigeligt med tegn på, at en stor gruppe har værdier, som ikke er forenelige med de danske, uanset hvilken farve deres pas måtte have.

Det er netop derfor, Liberal Alliance mener, at tildelingen af statsborgerskab er så vigtig.

Grundtvig og de andre grundlovsfædre ønskede et system, hvor kun befolkningen selv – gennem sine valgte repræsentanter – kunne afgøre, hvem der skulle være danskere. Hvert enkelt folketingsmedlem skulle ud fra sin egen samvittighed vurdere ansøgerne og stemme ja eller nej. Det er derfor, vores grundlov siger, at statsborgerskab kun kan gives ved lov – ikke administrativt eller af embedsmænd.

Men i alt for lang tid har et flertal i Folketinget givet statsborgerskab på en måde, der i praksis er administrativ. Talte man en smule dansk, overholdt loven og havde et arbejde, kunne man få statsborgerskab.

Men det bliver man ikke dansker af, og det er useriøst at lade, som om man gør.

Grundlovens hensigt er, at danskernes folkevalgte repræsentanter skal vurdere, om hver enkelt ansøger lever op til grundlæggende danske værdier og sindelag. Og det kan hverken sættes på formel eller laves til en checkliste, for det er en politisk vurdering, ikke en administrativ.

Derfor vil Liberal Alliance sikre, at tildelingen af statsborgerskab igen foregår efter såvel grundlovens ånd som bogstav. For ønsker man den gave, som det danske statsborgerskab er, kræver det naturligvis, at ens kommende medborgere mener, at man deler de værdier, der har skabt grundlaget for et frit, demokratisk og velstående Danmark.
