No matter how often it is repeated, what Moscow thinks "peace talks" and "ceasefire agreements" are for still confuses some Western counterparts.

Russia repeatedly gets what it wants because the other side focuses on ending the war, but Russia instead wants to win it.

🇬🇪BBC has confirmed that Georgian Dream used a WW1 chemical agent, Bromobenzyl cyanide, against peaceful protesters.
People suffered chemical burns, respiratory distress and long-term injuries.

It’s become clear that Georgian police used chemical weapons against their own citizens. Protesting is a core democratic right, this is unacceptable.
 
We should sanction Georgian Dream’s leadership, fund independent media, and support the democratic voices.
 
The real dream of Georgia is European 🇪🇺

WW1 toxic compound sprayed on Georgian protesters, BBC evidence suggests Anti-government demonstrators are likely to have been targeted with camite, our investigation finds.

According to a BBC investigation, the Georgian Dream regime used a WWI-era chemical agent called “camite” during last year’s protests. This finally explains the symptoms many of us experienced both on the night of the crackdown and in the following months.

Brutal: Die georgische Polizei hat Wasserwerfern im letzten Jahr Bromobenzyl Cyanide (Camite) zugesetzt, ein Giftstoff, der im 1. Weltkrieg eingesetzt wurde. Er ist 10x stärker als CS-Tränengas, Nebenwirkungen dauern bis zu 30 Tage. #GeorgiaProtests

This week could be pivotal for diplomacy.

It is clear that Russia does not want peace, and therefore we need to make Ukraine as strong as possible.

My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council on Defence ↓

All 19 Member States submitted their National Defence Investment plans for SAFE 🇪🇺

15 Member States have included support for Ukraine🇺🇦. More than expected! And we talk about billions, not millions.

SAFE is vital for EU defence readiness and our industrial base.

#SAFE

To cut off that fuel, Europe must:
-Enforce sanctions fully & close loopholes
-Shut down the shadow fleet in the Baltic
-Send more long-range munitions, incl. #FreeTaurus
-Increase ammo & air defense support, incl. #SkyShieldNow
-Use frozen RU assets to fund Ukraine’s defense, incl. those in Belgium

Us too, LLMs, us too.

'Successful' Ukrainian naval drone strike disables 2 Russian shadow fleet tankers, source says The operation targeted ships that, according to the source, could have transported nearly $70 million worth of oil and helped Moscow bypass international sanctions.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian sea drones disabled two of the "shadow fleet" tankers carrying Russian oil. No doubt the start of a campaign

The core problem in US peace efforts is prioritizing speed over conditions. The way to push for a quick end is, of course, to pressure Ukraine. A lasting peace demands the reverse: conditions over speed. Those conditions must involve Russia’s defeat, otherwise it will pave the path to a larger war.

Implementing sanctions.

What is worrying is that Russia’s allies are increasing their support to Russia while Ukraine’s allies too often hesitate to.

What better way to start a day in Brussels where conversations about the effectiveness of sanctions on Russia’s energy sector are likely to feature heavily than walking to the bus stop past the local Lukoil petrol station.

Kasparov nails it: Western failure to confront russia is the biggest security risk we face.
Ukraine is buying us time, and we’re wasting it.

Ukraine has once again proved its seriousness in the fight against corruption — after the country's independent NABU and SAPO conducted searches in Yermak's place, he is out now.

A country must be judged not by the problems it faces, but by the response and actions.

The committee should investigate “whether the European Commission has been sufficiently equipped and forceful in its enforcement” of the rules to “prevent Big Tech from unilaterally imposing global standards that override EU regulatory goals,” the document reads.“

$100 for torching a van; more for planting a bomb or snapping a photo of a strategic location: Russian intelligence services have found a new, cheap, and effective way to conduct sabotage operations across Europe. They are recruiting Ukrainian children and teens online.

Putin: “The American delegation will be in Moscow next week.”

Have they ever left?

Here, Putin says he never had any intention of signing any peace agreement. If you couldn’t understand this until now.

So the suggestion is basically: jump first, find out the parachute status on the way down. This is not serious.

Btw, in 2014 Russia leaked a phone call between US assistant secretary of state Victoria Nuland and US ambassador to Ukraine.
