A reminder that the US spent USD 0.35 out of USD 100 on Ukraine, the most major war in Europe since WW2. It’s just above Bulgaria which couldn’t fit in the screenshot. Anyone pretending Ukraine had a toll on the US is lying at worst and uninformed at best. www.statista.com/statistics/1...

Despite decades of support from the west, Georgia is sliding into authoritarianism. 💬 The west’s comprehensive response to Georgia’s crisis will not only shape this resilient nation’s future but also define the west's credibility as democracy defenders, says Tamar Khuntsaria. 🔗 ow.ly/6VP250V46bl

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.
