the strongest pushback Europe gives is when Zelenskyy rightfully criticizes them
then the snowflake effect comes into play, they are paralyzed by their offence and become even less helpful
there is no way to approach Europe, this mule just won't budge
while we die

Opinion: Europe and Ukraine After Davos
However, pressed, Zelensky should be more tactful in distinguishing his criticism of Europe from that of Trump.

On this day in 1935, Hitler assured Poland that he would not invade. A few years later, he claimed that Germans were being oppressed and killed and used that pretext to invade, carrying out the largest genocide in human history.

Kharkiv has frequently been hit by drones during the day today.
Here's the moment one UAV smashed into an apartment block.
You can tell it's been turned around deliberately. It's not out of control. IT'S TERRORISM.

Chasiv Yar today.
A city in the Donetsk region that was alive long ago is now reduced to total ruins. Where there were streets-debris. Where there were homes-ash and smoke.
This is the trace left behind by the Russian army.
"Liberation" that leaves nothing behind.

This is who Trump's fascist thugs murdered today. His name was Alex Pretti and he was a VA nurse, American born, and had no criminal history.
If they will lie about murdering him, then they will lie about murdering you next.

Opinion: The Death of NATO and Birth of a European Army
Moscow and Washington are applying parallel pressure on Kyiv, seeking capitulation without invasion. What looks like diplomacy may be coordinated coercion with existential stakes for Europe.

Kyiv and Kharkiv were hit the most, but Chernihiv region (see below) is left completely without power, but operating with back-up sources .
Poltava and Cherkasy regions are also on emergency disconnection to preserve what little electricity they have.

Putin wants to join Trump's Board of Peace—using $1bn in frozen Russian assets held in the US to pay membership.
Then he wants to use the remaining frozen funds to rebuild "territories damaged by fighting"— likely only meaning occupied Ukraine.
