Zelensky said European NATO member states only have 50 brigades. Ukraine has 110 combat brigades. Russia will have 250 brigades this year. Unlike the Germans and the French, Ukrainian soldiers can defend the Baltic states when Russia invades, but only if Ukraine is in NATO.

Now would be the perfect time for European states to get together, say "thank you to America for everything you have done since 1941, but times have changed", and then go off and commit themselves alone to help Ukraine achieve victory as soon as possible.

🇪🇺 "No deal will work without Europe, and Europe will continue to support Ukraine," says EU high representative Kaja Kallas. "Quick decisions are dirty deals that won't stop the war. Concessions before talks are appeasement that won't work. If Ukraine resists, Europe will increase support."

Russian prisons have program of Mengele-style "torture experiments" on POWs, including amputations and death of POWs. This is genocide. We can stop this ⬇️

Voices are growing stronger that it supposedly makes no sense for Putin to end the war, that sanctions are not working, and that Trump has no real leverage to bring Putin to the negotiating table. In fact, that's not true. There are very effective leverages, arguments, and signals to enforce peace.
