A lot has been written about the EU "waking up" after the Munich Security Conference.
A real test for EU nations' commitment to step in for 🇺🇦 will be if they seize russian central bank assets (most are held in 🇪🇺 jurisdictions) and hand them over to Ukraine.
The US can't block that move.

We are now at a point when russian surveillance drones over military sites in the UK and Germany [US base] do not meet any sensible response.

Merry Christmas, folks!🎄

Kyiv's winter

After the fall of the Syrian regime, I wonder if any American journalists will finally ask Barack Obama about the legacy of his "red lines" in that country.

#Romania'n intelligence, law enforcement and courts are showing other EU countries where russians are running their sabotage & influence ops — inc. Germany, France, Poland — how to handle that threat to their democracies.

The only thing that will deter russian agents is the language of force.

Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Keith Kellogg wrote this in his April 2024 report re: the russia-Ukraine war:

The most ridiculous thing with the belated handover of #ATACMS to Ukraine is how many Western journalists and experts have (unconsciously) copied the russian discourse: WW3, "red lines", "escalation".

You don't have to cite all this bullshit to cover and analyze this news.

Driving through Kyiv this morning, you would not tell that the Russian invaders had just waged a massive attack on the city: traffic is running well and the lights are (mostly) on.
Ukrainian air defence Forces have performed another remarkable feat to protect our cities — and thousands of lives.
