On this day in 1410, the joint forces of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland triumphed at the Battle of #Grunwald (Žalgiris), one of medieval Europe’s largest battles. The victory affirmed their place in Europe and still echoes in how we shape our region today.

OTD in 1410, the joint Lithuanian and Polish army led by Vytautas the Great defeated the army of the Teutonic Order in the Battle of Grunwald. To commemorate the battle, Lithuanian painter Jolita Levčenkienė painted a triptych, each part 130 cm. ✖️ 420 cm., titled "The Day That Changed History".

I sometimes hear some saying there’s “not enough damage” in Ukraine for it to “really be war”. So I present you Exhibit A : this is Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia today. Russian drones hit it 6 times. These all were someone’s homes.

Looks enough damage ? Do we pass?

The US is tightening sanctions on Russia's oil, gas, and banking sectors by restricting access to U.S. payment systems. The move aims to cut Kremlin revenue and raises oil prices by up to $5 per barrel. Trump said he had 'serious discussions' with Putin.

35 years of our restored independence—a legacy of resilience, innovation, and unity. #Lithuania 🇱🇹 has grown into a thriving European country, with a strong economy and a new generation of ambitious, free, and happy citizens. We know that freedom is never given and can’t be taken for granted.

On 11 March 1990, we restored our Independence. The USSR tried to crush it.

We stood firm and won. Today, we celebrate 35 years of restored Independence, knowing that freedom is never given, it’s fought for. A lesson Ukraine knows all too well.

I should probably also add that in Eastern Europe, child abduction for the purpose of cultural genocide is more than just a significant act of criminality. Lithuanian folktales about the Teutonic Knights always repeat that they assimilated the Old Prussians by "turning their children into Germans."
I cannot emphasise enough that insofar as I'm concerned all these child abductors are on par with the katsapy who raped children in Bucha and should be treated accordingly

⚡️ 🤝 Former Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko, backed Zelenskyy after his clash with Trump and J.D. Vance at the White House. Once a fierce critic, Poroshenko now stresses unity as Zelenskyy defends Ukraine’s position while Washington debates more aid.

“Ukraine needs unity,” he says.

‼️ The Economist: Vice President Vance was a real problem during yesterday's meeting. Vance seemed happy that the talks did not take place. Vance was well prepared and professional in his role.

Do you agree? 🤔
