Hi All, @alanderminna.bsky.social is back with her latest European Dispatch. She breaks down what European states have and are doing for Ukraine. It’s more than you might realize. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Tortured Ukrainian POW branded with ‘Glory to Russia’ vows to return to battle after recovery: ‘Thirst for revenge’ "After I will be healed, I want to go back to protect and fight for the country — and I will join it with more fervor, kind of a thirst for revenge," Andriy Pereverzev exclusively told The Post from his Ukraine hospital bed.

This is exactly why so many of us, myself included, continue to campaign to expose Russian atrocities and their widespread, systematic use of torture.

Ruscism explained: 7 Russian phrases that drive Moscow's imperial wars against Ukraine From "Russian World" to "Rising from knees," decode the seven phrases that fuel Russia's imperial aggression and explain its relentless war against Ukraine since 2022.

Yes! russia is ruscist — fascist in its own unique russian way euromaidanpress.com/2025/03/26/d...

After 3 years of violent war against Ukraine and 25 years of increasing authoritarianism, it's time to finally decide:

Is Russia fascist? ⬇️

Man wants to counter China by letting Russia dismember Ukraine, forgets they’re allies Pentagon’s Undersecretary Elbridge Colby crafted America’s China strategy. Beijing couldn’t be happier.

🇺🇸’s Constitution begins with a phrase the Kremlin sees as a mortal threat: We the People
The freedom & dignity that Americans & Europeans wish for the Peoples of 🇷🇺 are exactly what threatens Moscow’s system of oppression & subjugation.

First, our fear of escalation fuels Russian aggression.
Second, it’s not Putin’s war — it’s Russia’s.
Third, yielding to nuclear coercion rewards the threat and ensures its return.
Fourth, the frozen asset debate is backwards.
Finally,Ukraine is a security provider for Europe, not a security burden.

The article was originally published in SüddeutscheZeitung back in March 2022. This translation is published a few weeks ago. Still relevant, unfortunately :(

Here are the truths:
1) fear of escalation fuels Russian aggression
2) it’s not Putin’s war — it’s Russia’s

Sadly, some European decision makers still seem to think: "We can help Ukraine a little, but in the end Russia will win." But, it is the Europeans who have to push Putin back to peace. If they don't, it will get worse, more expensive, and more difficult to fight Putin later.

Murdered by Russians, two days ago in Kyiv.

Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby hands China a gift by blocking Ukraine weapons Undersecretary Colby wrote the book on denying China. Then he denied Ukraine the weapons to fight China's partner instead.

Since 2022, Colby has argued for sacrificing #Ukraine on the altar of “American interests.” But what lies ahead is the loss of American security to wishful thinking and incompetence.

A concrete and necessary step.

To suppress russia’s appetite for war is to bring the world closer to peace that everyone, except for #russia, wants

Three ways Russia's criminal war ends Plus one path to peace the Free World should aim for, but doesn't

Can an end to russia’s war be negotiated? Or will it only set the world up for a much bigger war later?

Is it possible/necessary to expel the aggressor from 🇺🇦’s sovereign territory?

My two cents are below 👇

Would be curious to hear what you think

Probably going to be the one where the world hands Putin a win in terms of a frozen conflict.

Then immediately begin preparing for a broader global conflict.

The West had 11 years to stop this and to give Ukraine everything it had to contain this "localized" conflict+prevent it from expanding.
