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:

Buen artículo de @zagrez en @latercera sobre el verdadero significado del ataque ruso con drones contra el santuario espiritual ortodoxo milenario en #Kyiv en el loco afán de #Moscú de borrar la cultura, la historia y la identidad 🇺🇦.

Asesinado a tiros en Polonia el dibujante opositor ruso Semión Skrepetsksi, cuyas caricaturas no dejaban títere con cabeza: Putin, Kadírov, disidentes, la guerra en sí...
The next time Putin claims he’s defending Christian values and only attacking military targets, recall the attack tonight on one of the holiest religious sites of historic Kyivan Rus.
Today, the European Union took a major step forward.
All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova.
At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process.
It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions.
This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges.
And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable.
Enlargement is a strategic choice.
By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent.
In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest.
Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.

I visited a cognac factory near Yerevan that usually ships millions of bottles to Russia but is now among the producers hit by Moscow's import ban, part of the Kremlin's effort to pressure Armenia as it edges closer to the west ahead of Sunday's election

Russia probably didn’t intend to hit Romania. But in planning its attacks on Ukraine it doesn’t mind if Romania gets struck once in a while, calculating (correctly, so far) that there will be no price to pay for that.
Meet the @TheStudyofWar researchers who say the Ukraine war has entered a new phase to Ukraine’s advantage and that now is the time for its allies to provide crucial help.
It is fair to say that neither Ukraine nor Russia is winning the war.
For Zelenskyy, this is good news: only yesterday, many were predicting his defeat. For Putin, it is bad news: no one seriously believes anymore that he is winning.
Yet Putin does not want to end the war. He seems to have five basic choices, but after four years of full-scale war, his core problem is clear: none of them gives him a guaranteed result.
A technological breakthrough? It takes time and offers no guarantee of a success.
A tactical breakthrough? Ukraine may adapt faster than Russia can turn it into strategic gain.
Mobilization? The Kremlin’s cheapest instrument, but one that raises the domestic cost of war.
A new theater of war? It may shift attention, but it does not guarantee a quick victory.
Nuclear weapons? Shock effect, but with uncontrollable consequences for Moscow itself.
So he will most likely do what he does best: buy time. He will move, in fragments, along the first four tracks and keep threatening the fifth.
Ukraine’s options remain unchanged: strike deeper, defend the sky, and strengthen resilience at home — politically, financially, and militarily. This has worked so far. It can keep working.
Russia has adopted a law allowing the central bank and other financial institutions to shoot down drones, as Ukraine intensifies its strike campaign inside the country, @NastyaStognei reports.

This is a very important story on a recent evolution in tradecraft in Russian active measures, by @Martinlaineolen and team. I have also seen the full original leak, a few additional observations later today https://t.co/awiqQRp6fN
🇩🇪 Merkel: “Hopefully, the war in Ukraine will be over in 10 years”
According to the former German chancellor, that is what will make Ukraine an independent, free, and sovereign country.
Even though Ukraine already is one.
Ukrainian ambassador to the UN @MelnykAndrij:
I'm not sure that I will have any appetite to visit Moscow. Even when Russia is defeated, even when and after Putin's regime has collapsed, even after Russia has paid war reparations, even when the next government in Russia were to beg on its kneels for an apology, even after all the Russian war criminals will be sentenced, there will be no reconciliation between Ukraine and Russia for decades, maybe for centuries.
I will even refuse to visit Moscow as a member of the Ukraine delegation that will travel to Russia to witness Russia's signature of its declaration of capitulation.
Mette is completely right - russia has **invaded Europe** and two thirds of the continent are still acting as if we are just dealing with some kind of minor diplomatic disagreement.
These are the kind of delusions we cannot afford.

NEW: Despite mounting pressure at home, Putin believes he can seize the whole of the Donbas by the end of the year. Moscow also no longer believes Trump can force Kyiv into territorial concessions. Our long read on the mood in Russia. With @shaunwalker7
