I think what makes this moment feel so big and groundbreaking is that even those among us who have been talking about the need/danger of a Europe without the US for a long time, were usually in the mindset of a US disinterested in Europe. But not a US actively hostile to Europe& European interests.

💥Scoop: As EU leaders rally around Zelensky in support, I have obtained this fresh letter from Viktor Orbán to António Costa, threatening to obstruct EU unity in support of Ukraine. As I previously wrote, Hungary is becoming a Trojan horse for Trump after already serving as one for China and Russia.

“If Roosevelt had told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Adolf Hitler and to fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

The EU and Ukraine share interests regarding the defence threat from Russia and the economic and political threat from the US. It's therefore not in the EU's interest to impoverish Ukraine in return for security.

It’s thanks to the old voters that the German democratic middle holds. Ask only the young, and you get 21% AfD and 25% LINKE (though I certainly don’t want to put these two at the same level, as much as I disagree with LINKE secdef policy). Source: www.spiegel.de/politik/bund...

A good illustration from Sweden of how military scale-up is not a problem you can simply throw money at: The Swedish defence forces are paying back 2.1bn Swedish crowns (€1.9 million) to the state budget as they were unable to use all the money allocated to the defence budget

Three years ago this morning, I was listening to Russian bombs fall on Ukraine. Three years on from Russia's full-blown invasion, its war continues. But Russia's attempt to subjugate Ukraine, undermine its sovereignty and erase its identity has been met with the fiercest resistance...

The EU is beefing up its subsea security. Today, we are taking steps to sanction saboteurs, deter adversaries and mobilise our military and civil capacities when needed. This includes boosting funding to safeguard critical infrastructure.

Osechkin's source: FSB and SVR are currently working on organizing a coup against President Zelensky in Kyiv. It will involve Ukrainian officials who'd agree to capitulate to Russia in exchange for high power positions in the hypothetical puppet government of Ukraine.

No country risks getting swallowed by the Russian order in its entirety like Georgia does, and nowhere it is as easy to end the suffering and help the people fulfill their will as in Georgia. One simply needs to have the will to target sanctions and continue non-recognition.

Worth repeating just how unserious big European states' aid to Ukraine has been ▪️ In 1990 Germany allocated a greater share of its GDP to support Kuwait than it does to Ukraine (0.2%) ▪️ Japan provides more bilateral aid than France, Italy and Spain in absolute and relative terms

“But the truth is, this deal isn’t really meant to lead to sustainable peace — that was never the goal. Trump may believe in his second American revolution, but his interlocutors in Moscow don’t. “ Chilling and recommended read.
