#BREAKING

🇪🇪🇷🇺Tensions are escalating even further on the Estonia–Russia border.

🔹️The so-called “little green men” have already appeared — they are clearly not border guards, have no identifiable markings or insignia, and most importantly, they are armed.

🇲🇩 Russia will not stop and will look for new ways to influence Moldova to destabilize the situation, - President Sandu

"Moscow tested its hybrid attacks in elections, culminating in presidential elections and the referendum on the EU. But the real goal was parliamentary elections," - Sandu said.

To summarize. If Trump wanted to send Ukraine Tomahawks, he could right now. If Trump wanted to sanction Russia, he could right now. If Trump
wanted to seriously bolster Ukrainian air defense against Russia drones/missiles, he could right now. But he’s not, so he doesn’t want to.

In Donetsk Oblast, volunteers from across the world serve in the International Battalion of Ukraine’s Azov Corps. The Kyiv Independent spent several days with one of the battalion's drone crews to document how these fighters have integrated into Ukraine’s ranks and adapted to modern drone warfare.

The only people nuttier than those who claim to support Trump and Ukraine are those who are adamant that Trump and Maduro are great opposites. Trump is simply trying to be an American Maduro, power with no belief and, of course, a commitment to personal enrichment.
