Yesterday Oliver Marsden and @edmundbower.bsky.social
visited suspected mass grave sites in Damascus for @thetimes.com

At one site, a gravedigger spoke of trucks of bodies arriving weekly, dripping blood down the road

Satellite analysis supports these claims 👇

Oliver Marsden visited the site and met a gravedigger Abed Bou Jihad who said he saw trucks arriving at night

“Blood would be pouring out the bottom of the trucks,” Jihad said. “We would see the blood still on the road the next day.”

3 days ago there were 2-3 hours with intense naval activity around Yi Peng 3.

In some unclear AIS-replays it looked like Yi Peng 3 might have been boarded by German and/or Danish forces.

Today open AIS-data was released but it does not give clearer answers. 2 RIBs in water, extensive maneuvers.

/1. Awkward. Russian sources today actively spread a video of they were claiming two Ukrainian tanks that were blown up by mines on the Pokrovsk front.

In reality those are two Russian T-90M tanks.

Ein Mann, dessen Politik dafür sorgt, dass Angriffskriege mit Gebietsgewinnen belohnt werden und der mit seinen Alleingängen die NATO spaltet und so das Vertrauen in Artikel 5 untergräbt - ein solcher Mann dürfte eigentlich keinen einzigen Tag länger deutscher Bundeskanzler sein.

Warum ist es gefährlich, was Scholz sagt? Weil seine Aussagen die Glaubwürdigkeit des NATO-Beistandsversprechens in Zweifel ziehen. Als Wesenskern des Bündnisses ist sie eine Grundlage glaubhafter Abschreckung. Scholz hat dieses Konzept nicht verstanden und gefährdet damit unsere äußere Sicherheit.

Inwiefern untergräbt Scholz den Artikel 5? Indem der Kanzler seine Verweigerungshaltung bei Marschflugkörpern und der Aufhebung von Reichweitenbeschränkungen damit begründet, dass Frankreich, Großbritannien und die USA schließlich Atomwaffen besäßen und daher anders handeln könnten als Deutschland.

Kann Europa die Lücke füllen, wenn Trump uns keinen Schutz mehr gibt? Wir können uns gar nicht aussuchen, ob wir können. Entweder helfen wir der Ukraine so, dass sie Wladimir Putin stoppen kann oder wir müssen uns selbst damit auseinandersetzen, wie wir ihn eigentlich stoppen.

Clear message from @keirgiles.bsky.social & panel at #CHEurope conference in Berlin

Europe should step up for Ukraine
- & for its own defence

This is a message we’ve heard at many security conferences this year
- the question is how to get from ‘should’ to ‘did’.

Real STRATEGY will be essential.

Anyone who argues that the bloodshed in Ukraine must come to a swift end should present concrete plans on how to persuade Putin to halt the fighting and return to the negotiating table. Anything else is mere rhetoric.
