Hoffentlich überholen uns nicht die Ereignisse. In Litauen macht man sich Sorgen und zitiert Neitzel ("letzter Sommer in Frieden").
Auf der anderen Seite besteht dann wohl sicher kein Zweifel mehr an der Dringlichkeit und des wahren Gesichts Russland.

Not sure if either one of both is good...
Tom Friedman on point here, though he understated the case. Either Trump is the worse negotiator in all the universes of truth and fiction, or he is beginning an alliance with Russia with a joint attempt to subjugate Ukraine (and then much else).

From DC earlier this week, met a single couragous soul who was visibly demonstrating outside of the White House. For the sake of Ukraine. Waiting to see more of the U.S that stands up for that which is, and just a few weeks ago even in the U.S was, the right thing 🇺🇦🇪🇺

In den baltischen Staaten herrscht die Überzeugung vor: Russland ist auch nach drei Jahren Krieg gegen die Ukraine nicht geschwächt, sondern stärker als zu Beginn des Überfalls. Alle drei Länder sind entschlossen, ihre Unabhängigkeit zu verteidigen.

✅️ Agree with Macrons argument that the future of 🇪🇺 (not only EU) has to be decided there and not in 🇺🇲 or 🇷🇺 (normally a no brainer)

Macron tonight:
- We are entering a new era
- Our security is menaced
- The Russian menace is here; Russian aggressiveness knows no borders
- Who can think today's Russia will stop at Ukraine's borders?
- We may need to deploy European troops in Ukraine, once peace is signed

Time for the #Greens (and partly @spdde.bsky.social) to wake up and join the course of political responsibility for our state. Demands for climate protection and social issues are important but not a priority right now. Time to acknowledge that!

Good points and especially an optimistic look on this.
On defence it’ll be tough, but on much else Europe can reap gains from Trump’s disruption.On trade, by implementing Mercosur.On aid, climate & global south, by filling hole left by US.On int. role of € given market jitters. If we don’t move, others will.Time to think & act big

Very insightful thread to the current discussion. Brings a bit more substance to the partly emotional debate.
The suspension of U.S. assistance for Ukraine is a very unfortunate and significant development, but it may not have immediate impact. Ukraine is far less dependent on the U.S. for day to day battlefield needs in 2025, than it was in earlier periods of the war. 1/

Heard today that this is also supported by some Republicans because of the #Iran-#Russia connection and US' support to #Israel. Strange way of handling complex topics. #Trump #Putin
Moscow expects U.S.-Russia talks to continue and accelerate, with private discussions underway to fast-track a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Preparations for a Putin-Trump meeting may be expedited — CNN — Meduza
Moscow expects that talks on restoring U.S.-Russia relations will continue and even accelerate in the coming weeks. According to CNN, private discussions are also underway to expedite preparations…

Lavrov:
“The peacekeepers' plan for Ukraine is continuing to incite the Kyiv regime to wage war against us.”
Lavrov openly states that he sees peacekeeping as an act of war. A completely upside down vision of the world. Does this sound like Russia wants peace?
