No apologies for concentrating on Kyiv this morning.
With familiar stoicism, life goes on in Ukraine's capital.

The grim irony here is, 3 hours after Russia destroyed a food warehouse, the Saturday food market got underway with smoke still billowing in the background.

Het was helaas weer een zeer luide nacht in Kyiv, met minstens een dode. Fascistisch rusland zal niet stoppen burgers te vermoorden tot het vrije westen besluit fascistisch Rusland te stoppen

Oekraïne Vandaag @oekrainevandaag.bsky.social · 2d

Russische terroristen bombardeerden Kyiv afgelopen nacht met 9 ballistische raketten.

Daardoor kwam ten minste een iemand om het leven, 10 anderen raakten gewond.

1/5 I keep repeating myself and will until Europe understands.

The faster Ukraine scales up drone and missile production, the faster this war ends.

Europe is doing a lot, but not nearly enough. It is time to go all in

If he remains in power, he will keep waging war and driving the country into the abyss.

There are two possible scenarios. The first one is obvious.

The second is a joint effort by the United States and China to stop the war.

If that doesn’t work, Europe must be ready for a major war.

All this time,Putin has been given opportunities to end the war on honorable terms:the red carpet was rolled out for him,sanctions relief was offered,proposals for profitable joint projects were made

Why didn’t he accept these offers?As I’ve said-he can’t,he hardly makes any real decisions anymore

In any normal western democracy it takes years before you can make the smallest change to a historic building. In the U.S., the president can just demolish the White House without any discussion. If this were anywhere in Europe, people would be chaining themselves to the building to protect it

Ukraine suffered a horrible attack last night. During the day there were power outages. And maybe there still are some restrictions. But nevertheless, my train from Poland arrived right on time in Kyiv. Ukrzaliznytsia is an amazing rail company. 💛💙 And Ukraine is an amazing country. 💪🏻

This is Russian warfare, this is who they target every day. Release the frozen Russian assets in favour of Ukraine, now. Spend the movey on increased production in Ukraine and Europe instead of buying American weapons. We have the technology to build whatever we need.

The Russian attack killed a young woman,a 6month-old baby,&a 12-yr-old girl in the village of Pohreby,Kyiv region

Today russia killed a 6-month-old baby.
A baby that was born during the war and died during the war.

I don’t even know how to describe this feeling anymore, it’s like every fucking day we read the same news, and every time it hits just as hard.

Greens/EFA in the EU Parliament 🌍 @greens-efa.eu · 5d

The EPP, far-right & part of Renew have shown once again how little they care about nature & people by rejecting the EU #Forest Monitoring Law.

2025 is the worst year (yet) for wildfires in Europe. But politicians keep denying the unbreakable link between strong nature and tackling #ClimateChange.

🔴 Russia launched a massive attack against Ukraine overnight, deploying drones and missiles.

Preliminary reports suggest residential areas and energy infrastructure was targeted.

we need to get used to international politics without fixed US 'positions'. Until Trump II the key for US presidents (and other democratic leaders) was credibiity. If they shifted position, it *meant* something. Trump's modus operandi is to keep everyone guessing all of the time. This won't go away.

Judah Grunstein @judah-grunstein.bsky.social · 6d

What gives many people (myself included) trouble on this particular file, but others also, is that Trump's position and the US position are not the same thing, but also that Trump's rhetoric and Trump's position are not the same thing.

As a result, bureaucratic inertia is the leading indicator.

Lawrence Freedman @ldfreedman.bsky.social · 6d

There is no evidence to support claims of a big shift in the US position after the Trump-Putin call. In this post I explain why I don’t think much has changed and my scepticism about the proposed Budapest summit (£/free trial), open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/d...?

Witkoff and Trump should consider that, by their logic, the US should be under British control for speaking English. It makes no sense.

A large share of Ukraine’s best soldiers and public figures are Russian speakers. They don’t want to be Russian

We always get these huge Trump announcements with much media hype and fanfare with lots of big promises and assurances, effusively praising himself looking for awards & prizes, while experts say the details are scarce or nonexistent. Then a short time later we get the reality.
