Giving Ukraine the resources it needs to defend itself doesn’t prolong the war, it can help end it.

Thank you Radek Sikorski for convening a call of foreign ministers of the Council of the Baltic Sea States, where we were clear:

Securing multi-year funding for Ukraine in December is essential.

Ukraine’s sovereignty must be respected.

Ukraine’s security must be guaranteed, in the long term, as a first line of defence for our Union.

These priorities were are the center of our discussions with SG Rutte.

Europe will keep contributing to all efforts for a just and lasting peace for Ukraine

Respectfully I must disagree with the esteemed congress woman @crockett.house.gov who said Trump is an 'enemy of the United States'.

No. Trump is the enemy of the entire human race. He's a #PEDONAZI with 5,000 nukes that's already a proven #SerialKiller. Otherwise I'm with her 100% on all points.

Lots of posts about "no win for Zelenskyy" or "question Zelenskyy's sanity" which seem to be more about denegrating him than posting facts.

Zelenskyy wants peace, but NOT with trump's/kremlin's "plan". He has not accepted that plan at all.

Ukraine will not give up teritory, russia must.

Even if HPV only caused cancer in people with cervixes, it would be essential to vaccinate people without cervixes because they can carry and spread the virus. You don't control infectious diseases by only vaccinating the people who might die, you control them by vaccinating everyone.
