It’s Friday. Have a great weekend.

Even if not enlisted they surely acted like they were.

Even Russia's allies Hungary and Slovakia are now realizing that everything is going according to plan for master strategist Putin.
🤣🤣🤣

My conclusion is that to win over fascism we need more courage, and to prevent the return of fascism we put courage higher on the list of virtues in our societies.

The savages attacked a kindergarten in Kharkiv today. For years, we asked how the atrocities during WWII could be allowed to happen. Now we know. "Defenders" of freedom and democracy lack the guts to stand up for them.

Start with Hungary.

“The Kremlin isn’t here, guys! You’ve got the wrong coordinates — strike the Kremlin!” Furious Rostov locals, fed up with the fallout of the “special military operation,” are now turning their anger toward Putin. Bataysk saw heavy destruction last night, intensifying public outrage.

"Zelenskyy doesn't need the West's help to surrender, but on the very contrary, Zelenskyy needs help from all of us, to protect what we hold dear, which is freedom and the free choice of people." — Elina Valtonen, Finland's Minister for Foreign Affairs👇

Russia only understands strength.
It only negotiates when put under pressure.

That’s why we are working towards adopting our 19th package of sanctions this week.

My doorstep ahead of the Foreign Affairs Council ↓

1/ Russian 'grey imports' to support the war effort are facing a crisis, following simultaneous crackdowns by Chinese, Kazakh and Russian customs officials. Thousands of truckloads of drone parts and medical supplies are said to be stuck at the border. ⬇️

From threatening to freeze Europe to waiting in fuel lines at home — Russia’s full circle.

Ukrainians inspire the world with their courage.
Their resilience calls for our full support.

I am in Kyiv today for talks on financial and military support, the security of Ukraine’s energy sector, and holding Russia accountable for its war crimes.

Warrior ethos

If you have to say you aren't, you are.

Kremlin's Digital Army — An Undercover Investigation. „It’s paid, let me tell you, it’s paid directly from Moscow” - Ziarul de Gardă Hundreds of accounts with fake identities, operated by real activists of the “Victorie” Bloc, controlled by Ilan Shor from Moscow, were created to spread Russian propaganda on TikTok and Facebook.

Ukraine answered our call for help after the 9/11 attacks and deployed 5,000 soldiers despite not being in NATO.
18 Ukrainian soldiers perished.
Russia paid bounties to the Taliban for every US soldier they killed.
Let's not ever mistake who our friends and enemies are.

The thing is that is NATO sank Russia's Baltic Fleet Russia would probably just cool down, not escalate. Those afraid of Russia is just making things worse. What Russia needs is a big fat punch in the face.

Russia’s war is escalating, not ending.

We must raise the cost on Moscow, strengthen support for Ukraine, and invest in Europe’s defence.

The EU plays a major role and we will support initiatives like the Eastern Border Shield defence line. (2/2)

Every Russian attack is a deliberate choice and a message: Russia does not want peace.

Today’s strikes, including on a government building in Kyiv, are part of a clear pattern of escalation.

We will continue to support Ukraine’s defence industry and tighten sanctions on Moscow.

Russia has caused devastating damages to Ukraine.

It is unthinkable that Russia will ever see its frozen assets again, unless it fully compensate the damages caused to Ukraine.

Today, we discussed this issue with EU Foreign affairs ministers

Extract from my press remarks ↓

Massive terrorist attack. Should dominate news in Europe for weeks. But it hardly made headlines today. Enormous shame.

How many children were there in the oil refinery

While the world seeks a path to peace, Russia responds with missiles.

The overnight attack on Kyiv shows a deliberate choice to escalate and mock the peace efforts.

Russia must stop the killing and negotiate.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll explain the Alaska Fiasco and how it marks the peak of Trump’s two-year betrayal of Ukraine. What was sold as “peace talks” turned into a spectacle of weakness, humiliation, empty promises, and photo-ops that handed Putin exactly what he wanted.

1/24

44% of Ukrainian children have symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) according to First Lady Olena Zelenska.
The US must declare Russia a terrorist state and ensure Russia faces justice for all its war crimes and terrorism.

Tonight, countless calories will be burned powering the brains of analysts and political commentators, and millions of keystrokes spent explaining what happened in Alaska. Yet sometimes, a simple diagram explains it better than a PhD thesis:

So the Russian delegation led by Putin will be leaving Alaska after negotiations with Trump…
