Three years ago, we called for the adoption of a “mental war footing” in Europe due to the trajectories of Russian aggression.
With Russian hybrid attacks now proliferating, will we finally learn from the sacrifices of the people of Ukraine and pull our heads from the sand?

Before the start of the full-scale invasion, such comments were cast as "hysterical":
"Wars of aggression by their nature defy borders. They rarely stay confined to them."
Weakness increases the risk of a wider war in Europe. Our full support of Ukraine is meant to prevent one.

Yesterday at @debalie.bsky.social in Amsterdam, Rory Finnin called attention to Volodymyr Ananyev, abducted by the FSB in Crimea in 2024. Ananyev is 75 and charged with terrorism.
"The charges are absurd. And that is the point for Russia: to demonstrate arbitrary cruelty."

This "no shots fired in Crimea" myth repeated by Trump is offensive. Ukrainian service personnel were killed during Russia's annexation operation.
Videos like this one, composed of material posted online by Russian forces in 2014, make the violent force of the operation clear.

In 2013 Ukrainians saw EU association taken from them. Today Ukrainians see a historic path to EU membership.
A Revolution of Dignity is why.
In 2014, many experts advised against calling Euromaidan a 'revolution'. We saw things differently, as Rory Finnin explained.
