Dieser kurze Ausschnitt vom Chef des französischen Generalstabes, General Mandon @cemafr.bsky.social , sollte gehört werden.

Wir, Europa, sind nicht so schwach, wie wir immer tun. ☝️
“Today, Russia produces more defence equipment than it consumes on the front lines. It is clearly preparing for something else.

Collectively, Europeans are much stronger than Russia. That is why I think we must not be pessimistic.” — @cemafr.bsky.social

It's time to find a new strategy—one that can actually succeed.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy in an interview with The Guardian:

"Putin never asked for anything. He just invaded our territory. Then why should people on whose continent there is a war today ask him? Maybe we should just stop those infantile conversations?"
