..."Ukraine is a nation that, whatever the outcome, will be greater, stronger, and more dignified than Russia for all eternity. Russia will forever remain, in history, a miserable country marked by mass crime, servility, infamy, and indignity."

Putin and Trump can rot in Hell...
”My thoughts are with 🇺🇦 who are giving their lives for freedom...

I extend my wishes for victory to all those, in all corners of the world, who dare to stand up against tyrannical powers. Their fight is our fight.”

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reports from Kupyansk, where Ukrainian forces conducted successful counterattacks. Nevertheless, it is quite a move.

That man has balls of steel.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Ukraine celebrates Armed Forces Day today!

Our defenders are titans, carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. They protect Ukraine, they shield Europe, and they are the only reason World War III has not already consumed the globe. They are our everything.

After Elon Musk lashed out at the EU, calling for its dissolution and accusing the Commission of strangling Europe with bureaucracy, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski fired back: “Go to Mars. There’s no censorship on Nazi salutes there.”

Ah, I appear to have once again written my op-ed for the Independent about Europe needing to be ready to face Russia without the support of the United States. It's getting harder and harder to find different words to say it each time.

Europe needs to stop its magical thinking and ready for war with Russia

The new US National Security Strategy, in its predictable and characteristic ugliness, is a good occasion for Europe to finally let go of the time-consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and start focusing on a proper and proactive own strategy instead.
Europe Needs A New Strategy Too
The new US National Security Strategy helps - or forces - European leaders to let go of the consuming transatlantic crisis management efforts and to focus on an own strategy instead.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Everything about this ‘peace deal’ is appalling. Hand-crafted in Moscow and adopted by a Trump regime that panders to dictators.

Forcing Ukraine to strip itself of territory & its ability to defend itself is despicable.

Trump’s problem is that while he may truly want to end this war, and the cost to Ukraine is probably pretty irrelevant to him, Russia clearly does not want the war to end. Trump may think that he’s working with Putin, but Putin isn’t working with him.

No shock here: The Guardian notes several phrases in the U.S. peace proposal to Ukraine appear to be directly translated from Russian.

One standout is the line “It is expected that Russia will not invade neighboring countries,” a clunky English phrasing mirroring the Russian “ожидается.”

The fact that several explosives have been planted along Polish rail tracks by the Russian GRU is only the latest episode of the undeniable truth:

Autumn in Kherson is quiet and tense: golden leaves caught in anti-drone netting, the hum of FPV drones in the sky, the sound of counter-battery fire...

Here, autumn isn’t about romance — it’s about survival. About a city that keeps living despite the wounds of war.

Russian propaganda state TV:

"The Kyiv dam must be destroyed. Kyiv must be flooded, Kharkiv annihilated. Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Sumy wiped from the face of the earth."

People ask Ukrainians why don't we "make peace" meaning surrender. This is why.
