💔 A European Parliament interpreter could not hold back tears during the speech of 11-year-old Roman Oleksiv from Lviv.
The boy survived a missile strike on Vinnytsia on July 14, 2022, which killed his mother - it was the last time he saw her alive.

Remember when Al-Qaida attacked the US on 9/11 and Europe offered what it could, in Afghanistan and later Iraq, in arms and lives? Well, they clearly don't remember.

Our history has taught us that there is no freedom of speech without freedom of information. And freedom of information exists where there is respect for pluralism.
There will be no freedom of speech if citizens' freedom of information is sacrificed to defend some tech oligarchs.

Kann Europa zusammen mit gleichgesinnten Ländern wie Kanada die Ukraine ausreichend stärken und Russland schwächen, damit es besiegt werden kann? Zweitens: Wird es das tun?

The US ‘National Security Strategy’ (!) now effectively advocates for the overthrow of European liberal democracy in favour of ethno-national right wing populism. As does Russia.
The US is neither partner nor ally. It is an adversary attacking Europe economically, politically, and diplomatically.

One advantage with Trump's anti-European "National" Security Strategy is that it clarifies to all Europeans that Trump hates Europe.
Thus, Europe should stop listening to this hateful & self-enriching man & seize all Russian state assets in Europe asp & pass on to Ukraine!

The new US National Security Strategy, in its predictable and characteristic ugliness, is a good occasion for Europe to finally let go of the time-consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and start focusing on a proper and proactive own strategy instead.

Holy moly, do people still think the U.S. is an ally of Europe? It is now an officially stated foreign policy goal to undermine the EU and centrist European governments that don't ideologically align with MAGA.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

The Irish Navy had a ship present, but 'made the decision not to shoot down the drones', though the article also notes it the vessel did not have the capacity to disable the drones.
A huge reminder that Irish neutrality does not protect it from hybrid attacks.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:
Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin
Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

‘DigiD blijft in Nederlandse handen’; staatssecretaris zet Amerikaanse overname op losse schroeven
DigiD blijft Nederlands en komt niet in buitenlandse handen. Dat benadrukt demissionair staatssecretaris Eddie van Marum Digitalisering, BBB in Goedemorgen Nederland, naar aanleiding van de zorgen over de mogelijke overname van ITdienstverlener Solvinity door het Amerikaanse Kyndryl. Solvinity speelt een belangrijke rol in de digitale infrastructuur rond DigiD.
