fog / colours #berlin #night #streetshots
Silhouette of a person passing a restaurant in a foggy night; the light from the restaurant is red. Yellow light illuminates a street scene of a lone bicyclist navigating dense fog in the night. Persons on a street in foggy night; some light from street lights pierces through the mist. Night photo of a slightly out-of-focus person walking towards mysterious blue light in the background

„Dieser Winter ist der schlimmste“, sagen uns viele Menschen in Kyjiw. Die Kombination aus brutalen russischen Angriffen und bitterer Kälte ist kaum auszuhalten. Weil Russland ukrainische Energieanlagen kaputt schießt, haben viele keine Wärme, kein Licht und kein Wasser.

Runner in front of a grey building facade on a foggy evening, crossing a patch of fuzzy light. Several people walking along a road on a foggy, grey evening.

Russia loves Trump’s message on Greenland, as Putin has openly said. It is worth asking whether this was a Russian idea. It certainly divides and could destroy NATO, and it distracts from Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

"Wir können heute verbindlich sagen, dass Russland durch die Kampagne Storm-1516 versucht hat, sowohl die letzte Bundestagswahl als auch fortlaufend die inneren Angelegenheiten der BRD zu beeinflussen und zu destabilisieren."

Forget the far right. The kids want a ‘United States of Europe.’
Based on social media, the upcoming generation is expressing more European solidarity than the continent has seen in decades.

‼️ 1418 days of the full-scale Russian attack on Ukraine. That's how long the war lasted for the USSR within the Second World War - under the banner of "anti-Nazism".

Now Russia itself found itself in the role of a Nazi state - but against Ukraine.

Russland setzt in der Ukraine weiter auf maximale Eskalation. Bei zweistelligen Minusgraden soll den Menschen in Kyjiw und anderen Städten des Landes Strom, Wärme und Wasser genommen werden. Putin antwortet auf Friedensbemühungen zum wiederholten Mal mit Kriegsverbrechen. 1/3

Russia just bombed the main highway leading into Kharkiv - heavy traffic with families returning home after Christmas - cars are burning with people in them.

And we discuss signing something with them?

Ich erkläre es im Lichte der Schlagzeilen nochmal mit Handpuppen: Ja, wir alle „hoffen auf einen Waffenstillstand“ - natürlich. Nur: die Ukraine bietet diesen doch seit Monaten bedingungslos an! Es scheitert an Russland. Und ohne Druck auf Russland wird Russland nicht einlenken.

Zu kompliziert?

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.
Europe Needs A New Strategy Too
The new US National Security Strategy helps - or forces - European leaders to let go of the consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and to focus on an own strategy instead.

Last night Russia sent about five hundred drones and missiles to kill Ukrainians. Most were intercepted but those that got through hit a post office, a store, a power plant, and multiple residences. 19 people were killed in Ternopil. (1/2)
