Mykola Leontovych's Carol of the Bells “was never just a Christmas song, but a Ukrainian cultural message to the world, a greeting card of the nation’s deep-rooted spirituality and resilience in the face of threat. The same threat our nation is fighting today.” politi.co/3MWmtz5
This city shaped a classic Christmas carol. Now Russia has destroyed it.
Meet the history and politics of a world-famous Christmas song that started as Kyiv’s political message to the world a century ago. It sends the same message today.

Just released this piece. The VA story released yesterday about the inner workings of the Trump administration is the most important yet. For Ukraine and it supporters it confirms that Putin is planning to take all of Ukraine (and Trump is therefore helping him).

It’s an honor to have President Zelensky visiting our country at such a crucial moment.

We discuss our military support (more than ever!) and security guarantees. And further align our diplomatic efforts.

Mr. President, you and your brave people can count on the Netherlands! 🇳🇱🇺🇦

President of Ukraine:

Let's look at Russia's history since 1991.

It keeps bringing war and hatred from Chechnya to the Balkans, from Moldova to Syria, from countries in Central Africa to Ukraine.

Russia chooses conflict over peace.

⚡ Zelenskyy: Putin does not believe in people; he believes only in power and in money. He spends around 40,000 soldiers’ lives on the front every month. Not wounded, 40,000 each month killed.

Russia will not escape the bill for the homes, schools, and hospitals it has destroyed.

Today in The Hague, we take a major step toward accountability by establishing a commission to address claims for Russian war damages.

The EU supports its work, including with an initial €1 million contribution

Just sent out this free piece. Its being said that what Trump is doing with Putin is similar to what FDR did with Stalin at Yalta. Nothing could be further from the truth. Trump could easily weaken a dictatorship and strengthen a democracy if he wanted. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz:

"A sustainable peace in Europe is only possible with a sovereign Ukraine that can defend itself against Russian attacks. We are expanding the cooperation between German and Ukrainian companies. Only by demonstrating strength can we end this senseless war."

OPINION: The U.S. has abandoned the post-World War II consensus on allies and the value of defending freedom, instead revolving around transactions and deal-making, wielding tariffs to punish or reward, and defining allies based on financial benefit rather than shared democratic values.
For most of the world, the US is now a malign actor
While many may be tempted to cut the U.S. off as an ally and partner, I hope our friends don’t give up on us so easily.

Today marks the 148th birthday of Mykola Leontovych, a famous Ukrainian composer. His iconic tune, Shchedryk (aka Carol of the Bells), is a symbol of Ukraine’s culture.

Listen to its captivating performance by Cultural Forces.
Even amidst ruins, it exuberates life and hope❤️

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.
