You can count on us always being there. It's very much in our own interest as well to stop Russian aggression for good. We're in a huge debt of gratitude to Ukrainians. 🇫🇮 🤝 🇺🇦 Ukraine will prosper, I'm sure. I just wish the sacrifice wasn't so great.

Finally. European leaders are no longer laughing it off and pretending that everything's business as usual. I hate that the USA is undermining NATO at every turn but we can't do anything about that. What we can do is build solidarity among remaining members. NATO minus one.

Passive voice obfuscates responsibility for actions. That's why journalists should avoid it 99% of the time. Like this lede: She "was hit." But it was an officer who shot her, not a rogue rubber bullet that autonomously took flight and slammed into her.

This is a Kharkiv firefighter -- right after rescuing people from a russian airstrike that set a civilian enterprise on fire. Covered in ash, exhausted yet decisive. Siding with russia means siding with terrorists who unleash horror on innocent people -- every single day.

Ukraine regains momentum. Now is not the time to prolong the war by withholding support from Ukraine, but to increase pressure on Russia militarily, economically, and diplomatically. Force Russia to negotiate in earnest by demonstrating that their war of choice is destabilizing and costly.

There is a window for Russia to try and destroy NATO once and for all by attacking a NATO country. That's a tempting prospect. How successful it'll be depends on whether our allies respond to the invocation of Article 5. If this is going to happen, it's going to happen in the next three years.
