The U.S. has dropped to number 57. Wonder if Ukraine will surpass the U.S. in press freedom next year. 🤔
"Despite dropping one position since last year, Ukraine remains in the middle tier, reflecting relative resilience amid challenging wartime conditions.
Meanwhile, Russia continues its downward slide in the rankings and is now placed at 171st, close to the bottom of the list."

Let me lay out the 2 sides:
🇷🇺 Russia doesn’t want Ukraine or Ukrainians to exist. They want to continue to kill Ukrainians and steal their land and children in order to make that happen.
🇺🇦 Ukraine doesn’t want any of that to happen.

Supply is starting to slowly recover, for now largely due to a slight pick up in imports. All nuclear/gas/coal (and a big chunk of renewables) still remain offline and likely won't return until demand can be safely ramped back up.

I agree with Minna…she’s smart and she’s right. Ukraine should not take a bad deal that doesnt meet their interests. They are actually winning on the battlefield, according to SACEUR Cavoli’s testimony in front of HASC and SASC…and the Russians will never live up to any agreement unless compelled.
Nobody can in good faith recommend Ukraine to take the ”deal” proposed by the US.

Trump’s peace deal is terrible. Ukraine should still accept it
Hard as it will be for President Zelensky to accept terms so generous to the invader, Russia may find it’s a tainted triumph

To the argument that it’s not fair for 500 million Europeans to expect 340 million Americans to defend them from 140 Russians, one could say:
For most of the post-Cold War era, Americans weren’t defending Europeans from Russians. Europeans were supporting Americans in their wars in the Middle East.

An often overlooked aspect, on both sides of the Atlantic, of US military presence is Europe is that the US needs bases on the continent for global power projection.

As I keep saying, everything we can see suggests that the peace that the Trump administration are negotiating is between Russia and the US, not Russia and Ukraine. That will continue whether or not they stop trying to force Ukraine to hand over land to Russia and assets to the US.

While there is a lot of talk about peace, diplomacy, ceasefires etc., the most relevant change on the Ukrainian ground since #DonaldTrump became #POTUS is an array of large Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities, with dozens of civilians - including some children - killed.
