Russia is preparing for a long-term confrontation with NATO, – Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys.
During a press conference, he said that NATO intelligence has agreed that Russia is a long-term military direct threat to Europe and North Atlantic security in general.
The "toned down" weapons would surely win the EU tenders due to inevitable reliability discount :).
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/
Gen. Min Aung Hlaing called Putin a king during his visit.
"As far as I know, you have been the leader of Russia not for five or ten years, but for a longer period of time. You are not just the leader of the country, but a king," he said.
Putin looked flattered and did not object.
Jack Watling and I take a look at what the requirements might look like for a European force in Ukraine. We find that this not an insurmountable task, but will require proper resourcing and difficult political choices. @warontherocks.bsky.social warontherocks.com/2025/03/will...
President of the Council of Ministers of Italy Giorgia Meloni:
An immediate summit needs to be held between the United States, European states and allies in order to speak frankly about how we intend to address today’s major challenges, starting with Ukraine,..
So sad to witness this disgrace minutes ago. Trump and Vance are attempting the dismantling of the US democracy and this benefits putin. I hope US manages to get rid of this disease as soon as possible.
Trump now says his "peace deal" between Russia and Ukraine may not work out.
So much for the 24 hours he promised. Vote for a clown, expect a circus.

Deepest condolences.
‼️ “Over 90,000 cases of rape and sexual abuse by Russian soldiers have been reported since February 2022.
Victims are often elderly women & young children.
👉 Captured Russians admit they target them because ‘they don’t run as fast.’”
I want to tell you a story. In 2015, I was in the small Lithuanian city of Panevežys, standing with the locals, watching a military parade. But this was no ordinary parade, because marching alongside the Lithuanian troops were our American allies.🧵1/17

Hello Russian World! 😃
Ronald Reagan didn’t “destroy the USSR just so you could lick their boots and call yourself a ‘conservative.’”

How can we know that Trump works for Putin?
1. He calls democratically-elected Zelensky a dictator, but he has never called true dictator Putin that.
2. He calls for elections in Ukraine, but not in Russia.
3. He wants to impoverish Ukraine & enrich Russia, etc.
WATCH: "We are in a new era… where international relations aren’t going to be determined by rules… they're going to be determined by strong men."
