⚡️Ukraine prepared to continue fighting if diplomacy with Russia fails, Zelensky says.
Kyiv is ready for "both options," Zelensky said: the diplomatic track, or ongoing active defense against Russia. "Ukraine will never surrender," he said.

Hoor op @nporadio1.bsky.social dat D66 geen trek heeft in JA21 in de coalitie en dat de kwestie Venezuela dat bevestigt.
D66 hecht aan regels van internationaal recht, terwijl JA21 zich meer neerlegt bij de huidige machtspolitiek van Trump.
Mooi! Laat @robjetten.bsky.social z'n poot stijf houden.

Vreemd hoeveel mensen menen dat Trump altijd doet wat hij zegt. Hij zou de oorlog in Oekraïne op dag één beëindigen. De inflatie zou op dag één verdwijnen. Hij zou geen nieuwe buitenlandse oorlogen beginnen. Etcetc

There are some horrible analogies flying around today. A reminder: the US kidnapping of Maduro in no way justifies, vindicates, or lifts responsibility from the Ru govt or the Ru people. Their war against Ukraine continues to be an unprovoked act of aggression with war crimes and genocidal intent.

Ru has tried to murder Zelensky numerous times. Pu reportedly promised Israeli ex-PM Naftali Bennet to spare Zelensky's life in exchange for Ukr surrender. So do not juxtapose Maduro's kidnapping to the fact Zelensky is still in Kyiv. Ru keeps trying and failing to kidnap/assassinate Zelensky!

An undeclared, unprovoked, and illegal war designed to, well, we can only guess—though Donald Trump and JD Vance have seemed to concede this was a war for oil—puts the United States on the same moral and legal footing as Russia, which invaded its neighbor in a war of pure aggression.

Please give a thought to people whose New Year’s Eve was spent in bomb shelters because a criminal invader was trying to destroy their energy infrastructure.

Main directions: Lutsk, Volyn, Odesa, Konotop, Zatoka. The main target is energy infrastructure.

Important. The human interpreter is still important, despite AI translation possibilities.
OPINION: An interpreter does not merely convert words from one language to another. They carry meaning across the chasm between us ... and make split-second ethical and semantic decisions that could preserve dignity - or shatter a survivor. 👇
When the interpreter wept: What automation erases inside Europe’s institutions
We are building a world that treats translation as a problem to be solved. But translation was never just a technical challenge — it is an act of witnessing.

The measure, to be implemented by 2030, would also apply to crustaceans and cephalopod mollusks, including octopuses, all of which are recognized as sentient beings under British law.
