Interesting analysis of what Europe needs to do to meet Russian threat now that USA can't be depended on. Key messages: It won't be easy, but meeting the challenge is very doable. It will be a lot easier if Ukraine isn't forced into a bad "peace" deal with Russia. www.bruegel.org/analysis/def...

Day 87 continuous. Rustaveli blocked. Without new elections, there will only be continued instability and crisis, since the dictatorship will find it hard, resource-wise, to stabilize into business-as-usual mode. With sanctions, you can aid us avoid costs. #GeorgiaProstests

Let’s go!!! 🇺🇦 Pro-Ukraine protest outside the Russian embassy. ✊

"Europe must chart its own course...Most agree defence spending must rise, financed by new borrowing. Expanded joint weapons production and procurement is essential; $300bn in frozen Russian assets should be seized to fund Ukraine." - Simon Tisdall www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Demo für #Ukraine & die #Demokratie in Europa auf dem Schlossplatz in Stuttgart. Auch schön die Spitzenkandidat*innen der SPD, Grünen & der CDU sind da & haben gesprochen. Die Lappen der FDP, der Linken & des BSW glänzen natürlich durch Abwesenheit. Solidarität #StandWithUkraine #PulseOfEurope

Canada held a solidarity rally in support of Ukraine against the fascist Russian invasion and the unsurprising US betrayal. Scenes from Montreal. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #StandWithUkraine

Thousands are here outside the Russian embassy in London to say "Russian troops out of Ukraine!" After Trump's treachery, our Governments must provide Ukraine with all the military and financial aid other needs to defeat Russia and win a just peace. Europe can do this🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine

Byline Times is facing major DDOS (malicious traffic-flooding) issues on our site apparently after this article went live... bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

⚡️EU preparing military aid package for Kyiv worth $20.9 billion, Bloomberg reports. The additional military support would supply Kyiv with air defense systems, artillery ammunition, long-range missiles, and drones.

“Europe needs a single envoy to talk to Ukraine, Russia and America. It should tighten its embargo on Russia even if America loosens sanctions. Europe should unilaterally exploit the €210bn ($220bn) of Russian cash frozen in European banks.” www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

@johnmcdonnellmp.bsky.social is joining tomorrow’s demonstration alongside the UK trade union movement, demanding a JUST and fair peace for Ukraine. ✊🇺🇦 Ukraine’s future must be decided by their people—not Trump, not Putin! #StandWithUkraine #Solidarity #JusticeForUkraine

When we stand with Ukraine ... 🇺🇦We stand with democracy! 🇺🇦We stand with freedom! 🇺🇦We stand with justice! 🇺🇦We stand witth truth! 🇺🇦We stand with accountability! 🇺🇦We stand with human rights! 🇺🇦We stand with Europe! See you outside the Russian embassy at 1pm today🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦 @ukrainesol.bsky.social

The EU is preparing a package of about €20 billion ($20.9 billion) in additional military support for Ukraine, according to a person familiar with the matter, as the bloc races to secure assistance for Kyiv in the face of President Donald Trump’s push to reach a quick peace settlement with Russia.

US stock markets fell sharply after an economic report showed American consumers are growing increasingly fearful of price increases and how President Donald Trump's tariffs could reignite the inflation crisis.

This timely reminder from Carole Cadwalladr. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

We’ll be there tomorrow - come and join us! 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇪🇺

If you call Zelensky a dictator, you're insulting the entire Ukrainian people. Ukrainians are literally famous for toppling dictators. This war is happening precisely because they ousted one 11 years ago, and they've been bleeding terribly for it ever since.

“Britain must choose between an unstable alliance with Trump or aligning with a resilient, unified Europe”

I’ll be speaking at this rally tomorrow. ✊🇺🇦 If you’re anywhere near London - come along! Let’s make some real noise!!

If the UK trade deal with Trump crowd hadn't already gone quiet this might be a useful reminder that they don't want to give greater market access to the UK or any other country.

Trump is on the brink of betraying Ukraine and the UK. Britain must lead in Europe by increasing defence spending immediately and all political parties should get round the table to make that happen. I fear what happens if we don't take this step.

The lies are the point: Ukraine is a battle for objective reality iandunt.substack.com/p/the-lies-a...

🧑‍🏭🪖🎖️Europe needs to recruit 300,000 new soldiers, acquire 1,400 new tanks and roughly double its defence spending over the next five years to be able to defend itself without the support of the US, @bruegel.bsky.social research warns @financialtimes.com

Some of the usual chants at the #GeorgiaProtests: “Until the end!” “The end of winter is coming - the people’s spring is arriving!” “Georgia, revolt!” “We won’t stop, schedule the elections!”

Good VDL and 26 commissioners are going to Kyiv to mark 3 years since Russia's invasion But remarkable how comms have changed. Earlier, ministers or commissioners would pop up in Kyiv with no warning - for obvious security reasons Now they're OK publicly announcing that they're all going together

Lie after lie has been told this week about how the Ukraine war started, from the Kremlin and the White House. Here's our News Agents video essay which explains the truth, and spells out why Trump clings so close to Putin and lives in his warped reality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cufM...

This deserves vastly more attention than it's getting. SOLIDARITY WITH UKRAINE London February 22nd. Please repost and share.

Leeds for Europe stands with Ukraine. If you are anywhere near that London tomorrow get along and give your support. @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social chair of @europeanmovement.co.uk is one of the speakers…

Bannon has a bit of a "I can't afford to sue all of you if you call it a Nazi salute" half heartedness to it that Musk's didn't.

All I can say at this stage is… FINALLY! 💥
