The best way to end the war sooner
If we want to stop Russia we must stop the money.

Refineries are the economic engine of the Kremlin war machine.

Helping Ukraine scale up its deep strike capabilities to hit these facilities is the most effective way to drain Putin's budget

Russian attacks make the brutal winter in Ukraine extremely hard to endure. Especially for those at the front line, tasked with fending off the invader. Their resilience is extraordinary, but the conditions are relentless...

Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine. It is a systematic reality of abducted children and erased cities.

Look at what you and your government are doing to stop it. No one is doing enough.

Ignoring a genocide doesn't stop it. It only guarantees that it continues

We know that Sweden has REALLY delivered in previous campaigns, so lets beat Poland this week! Every single cent goes to generators for Ukraine this dire winter!

That’s when I started getting nervous

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

Day 1430 of the war in Ukraine.

After Switzerland, today focus shifts to Abu Dhabi. Some are hoping, asking, "will this be the end of the war?" as the two sides meet face to face.

Spoiler alert: No

This is the daily thread, all the important news in one place, every single day.

1/ I maj 2023 påbörjade flera av de förband jag hjälpte en offensiv i östra UA. De ryckte fram både N och S om Bakhmut som precis tagits av RY.
Det hade inte tillförts några nya förband eller utrustning i området. Det var brigader som hade stridit i området runt Bakhmut sedan ett år tillbaka.

President Zelensky:

“Russia’s economy is really tired, and their army is very tired.
Our army is also tired — but we are honest, and we speak about it.”

What matters most now: more weapons, more air defense, or stronger sanctions?

Vad många inte känner till är att Försvarsmaktens utrustning sitter skönt och bekvämt på alla män under alla förhållanden. Skavsår på lår, skinkor och höfter, belastningsskador och utrustningsrelaterad smärta är okänt bland oss män. Allt sitter som en smäck. Hela tiden.

Dozens of shadow fleet tankers have traversed the English Channel since promises of tougher stance.

Danish Straits see about the same numbers.

BBC is not clear on if they mean flagless or flagged tankers, but either way there are lots.

Pic related, sanctioned tankers this minute.

Trump wants to destroy a strong and united Europe.

Against chaos, we defend a rules-based international order.
Against egoism, we choose cooperation based on mutual respect.
Against brute power politics, we stand united in defence of our values.

This is the European way.

The President of Finland, Alexander Stubb, is well-informed and comes to logical conclusions based on evidence. Russia is not winning the war, suffers massive casualties for little gain, and Ukraine is fighting a heroic defence.

Americans should judge their leader by comparison.
💬 Finnish President Stubb: "In December [2025], 34,000 Russian soldiers died. Dead soldiers. For what? For claiming that you took Kupiansk when you didn’t?"

Ukrainians have long dreamed of an independent, unified state.

Despite russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea, 2022 full-scale invasion, and historical oppression, #Ukraine stands more united than ever.

With allied support, its army fights to secure lasting independence and sovereignty.
