Electricity use from AI-optimised data centres is projected to more than quadruple by 2030.

If Europe wants to be taken seriously, be serious. A coalition of the willing European nations needs to move forward with seizing frozen Russian assets and making troop commitments to Ukraine. Don’t wait for Germany. Do it now.

US can’t “hand” Ukraine to putin. Contrary to what russia wants you to believe, Ukraine is a sovereign state. US, or nobody else for that matter , doesn’t ‘own’ us.

Yes, russia invaded us and, indeed, occupied some of our land - through force and murder .

But Ukraine is, and will remain, free.

COMMENTARY: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has tested a variety of tactics to try and manage US President Donald Trump, from flattering him to offering a favorable deal on Ukraine’s critical minerals.

But nothing seems to be working.

‼️ In an unprecedented move, #Slovakia’s Fico has threatened to cut electricity supplies to #Ukraine from 01.01 if UA refuses to continue transiting russian gas once the current deal expires that day. The @EU_Commission and @ENTSO_E need to intervene urgently.
