Vincent van Gogh was Dutch, but he wrote about a third of his letters in French – the international language at the time. He could speak French from an early age, but it was only after he moved to Paris, in 1886, that he completely switched to writing in French.

Look at this and realize that this is happening in Europe: homes in ruins, people in the cold, while Russia fires salvo after salvo, and we keep talking about "delays" and "tradeoffs"; Ukraine needs our full support now, not later. 👇
Half of Kyiv’s districts still have no heating due to Russian shelling, city authorities report.
Zelensky: the regime launched more than 600 drones and 36 missiles at Ukraine last night, hitting energy facilities, civilian infrastructure, and residential areas. Several districts of Kyiv suffered damage to housing, with fatalities and many injured. The footage shows the Dniprovs'kyi district.

“In days after Alaska, a European intel agency distributed a hard-copy report in an envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials, who were shocked by the contents: Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia.”
Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine
The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

Very insightful. Cleary shows Witkoff is a russian asset. Has been for a very long time. Must be removed from his position as special envoy. But I bet this will not happen.
I had just published a deep dive 🧵 on X today when the transcript of the insane phone call between Steve Witkoff & Yuri Ushakov leaked today.
It did not come as a surprise for me, as I had been working on this thread for a few days already.
It’s very clear who Witkoff is.

Willem van Oranje (1533–1584) was ongeveer 46 jaar oud toen de Antwerpse portretschilder Adriaen Thomasz. Key dit schilderij van hem maakte. Het is een van de mooiste en meest herkenbare portretten van ‘de Vader des Vaderlands’.

The Ukraine ‘peace plan’ distracts from the real issue: why Russia’s desperate to keep fighting
Say what you will about President Trump’s methods, but his wish to end Russia’s war is genuine. The problem is Moscow doesn’t want peace in Ukraine, it wants Ukraine in pieces. Every time the White…

Weetje: ‘Meisje met de Parel’ is tegenwoordig wellicht één van de duurste en een van de beroemdste schilderijen ter wereld, maar dat was in de 19e eeuw anders. Verzamelaar A.A. des Tombe kocht het schilderij in 1881 voor 2 gulden en 30 cent. Sinds 1903 is het werk in het bezit van het Mauritshuis.

Watch the Ukrainian cats come running after the Hachiko team refilled the feeding station in Pyatykhatky, a town not far from where Russia blew up the Nova Kakhovka dam. 🐈 🐈⬛ This area was previously occupied and remains dangerous for residents.
