A Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopter targets a Russian drone.

#Ukraine needs more helicopters as they are effective in shooting down Russian drones.

It's utterly fascinating to watch the Kremlin propaganda lurch from "we'll wipe America off the face of the Earth" to sampling "Whitcoff's cheburek" on live TV and then this sort of hokum about boundless friendship: "We're building the future together"

1/10 THREAD: Before the Alaska Talks begin, here are a few facts about the war in Ukraine worth remembering.

russia is failing strategically — despite the immense suffering it continues to cause.

Let’s break down why, after 3.5 years of full-scale war, russia is still losing👇

🇱🇹 Gerbera drone carrying 2 kg of explosives crashed in Lithuania, the country's Prosecutor General's Office said.

It was a Russian drone that flew in from Belarus and crashed on the territory of a training ground.

Lithuania does not link the incident to deliberate actions by Russia and believes that the UAV flew in due to the action of Ukrainian electronic warfare equipment.

Joint Russian-Belarusian exercises will soon begin near the borders of Lithuania.

5/5 Why is Europe still playing for time nearly seven months after Trump’s election? The war in Ukraine won’t end by waiting—it will end through action. Whether Trump and Putin decide Europe’s fate, or we do, is up to us!

4/5 We need to stop expecting anything from Trump or Putin—neither is a good-faith actor, and neither has Europe’s best interest at heart. It’s high time to take our destiny into our own hands and act, before our enemies decide our future for us

1/5 🇪🇺Europe is sleepwalking through history.

For 3+ years, our leaders have waited for the war in Ukraine to solve itself—or for Trump and Putin to do it for them.

But waiting won’t end this war. Only action will.

Here’s what Europe must do—before it’s too late

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte:
"Russia is at an enormous pace reconstituting itself.They are producing ammunition at a level which has not been seen in recent decades.They produce four times as much ammunition as the whole of NATO is producing as we speak.Their whole economy is on a war footing"

According to Reuters, Slovak PM Fico still hasn't found a route to get to Moscow.

Meanwhile, an NGO called "Peace to Ukraine" has placed a huge banner saying "So long, Fico" in the Bratislava airport.

🇩🇪❗️🇷🇺 Friedrich Merz: "We are under immediate threat from Russia. We see daily sabotage, destruction of data lines and submarine cables, systematic disinformation of our population. We also see poisonings and murders in many cities in Europe. This is the work of the Russian government."

Remember these faces….

Is anyone even remotely surprised anymore?

Russian sensors that may have been attempting to spy on UK nuclear submarines were discovered by the military in the seas around Britain - the Times.

One of UK's four Vanguard submarines that carry nuclear missiles is always at sea acting as a continuous at-sea deterrent.

We have to prevent Russia from setting a precedent for the destruction of the energy sector of an entire nation Energy is one of Russia's main targets in Ukraine. The Kremlin has always viewed energy resources as a tool to influence.

Ei näin Yle. Kun piirretään Ukrainan kartta, niin siihen kuuluu Krimin niemimaa.

Se kun on osa Ukrainaa.

President of Finland Alexander Stubb:

"I don't think Putin wants a ceasefire. Putin doesn't want peace. His original aim was...basically to have #Ukraine ceasing to exist. He hasn't changed his aim. And this is what all of us around the table have to understand."1/2⤵️

Ulkopolitiikalla on silloin tällöin vahvat sisäiset ajurit. Erityisen jyrkät sisäiset käänteet saavat aikaan myös ulkopolitiikan kaikahduksia.

Sisäisiin jännitteiden kärjistyminen Yhdysvalloissa, toimii näin. Koetut vihollisuudet omassa maassa peittävät alleen ulkoisten vihollisten uhan.

America Chose the Monster We all make mistakes.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here.
