⚡️EU will never recognize Crimea as Russian, Kallas says. "Crimea is Ukraine. It means a lot for the ones who are occupied that others don't recognize this as Russian."

Italian PM Meloni, answering a journalist at a meeting with Trump, blamed Putin and Russia for the Ukraine war, a stance that sharply contradicted Trump’s position.

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of April 19, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The U.S. released a memorandum on economic partnership with Ukraine: investments in security, recognition of Ukraine's contribution to global security after giving up nuclear weapons, and support for EU integration. A strategic partnership in mining is also in the works.

Draadje. Ik hoor sommige mensen zeggen, dat nu het erop lijkt dat er geen ´vredesdeal´ uit zal komen, Trump zich zal gaan afkeren tegen Poetin. Daar heb ik echt sterk mijn twijfels over. Vanaf het begin, gaf Trump steeds de schuld aan Biden en Oekraïne. 1/?

Ukraine and the US signed a memorandum on minerals. Not a final rare earth metals deal, but an intent to reach one. Signed online by Ukraine’s Economy Minister Svyrydenko and US Treasury Secretary Bessent.

Het typisch 'Nederlandse probleem', bij onze voor ~97% a-technische politici. De drie 'politieke' fases: 1. We doen decennia niets 2. We subsidiëren het ineens de hemel in 3. Goh, problemen. Nou, dan doen we .. weer niets Onthouden: 97% a-technische politici ..

🤡A ceasefire in Ukraine is unrealistic “at this stage,” says Russia’s permanent representative to the UN, Nebenzya. Show this to the US leadership, which believes in Russia’s desire to end the war.

Trump laat maar weer eens zien wat voor godsgruwelijke idioot het is.

What people must understand is that Putin is only accelerating his attacks on Ukrainian civilians because he is completely confident that Trump has his back. The US could make Russia pay for these attacks, but Putin knows that Trump never will. It’s a sign of (perverse) trust.

It sure seems like it.

🇺🇸🏌️‍♂️⛳️ President Trump skipped the return of the remains of four soldiers who died in a training exercise to Dover Air Force Base on Friday and instead play golf, - HuffPost

This is what you call two different readouts of the same meeting. Go Denmark, Go Greenland!

De man, die werkt voor een van de grootste Nederlandse kranten, bekeek na zijn optreden in de best bekeken talkshow zijn bron (de propaganda van het Witte Huis) en kwam tot de conclusie:

This is the beginning of a massive fall of MAGA. No amount of division, fear mongering, lies, and cheap lines will overcome the fact that you just took many people’s prosperity just because it makes you feel powerful. Mark my words, the beginning of the end.

It's not news that Donald Trump doesn't understand the war, but it's still interesting that he assumes it's being fought primarily by young people. In reality, the average age of soldiers on both sides is over 40.

Deze parel maar weer eens delen. Doe er je voordeel mee. Delen is lief❤️ go.bsky.app/9kmfTmS

I agree with @kajakallas that the EU should become a beacon of freedom. So when do we start? Here I offer six ways to actually light the beacon and step into the role history has chosen for us. Our response to the current uncertainty can be firm and long term. A thread.🧵1/17

In the course of 26 years, Putin has broken 190 deals -military analyst Michael Clarke "The biggest one of all,I suppose,was 1994,the Budapest Memorandum,which is when Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons…, and Ukraine was the one country that could have used them," he said

“Zelensky, by the way, I see he's trying to back out of the rare earth deal — and if he does that, he's got some problems, big, big problems” What problems, Donald? You're going to cut off military aid regardless. You've severed ties with Europe and lost the leverage you once had.
