Ich bin weiter dafür, dass wir die 300 Mrd. Euro eingefrorenes 🇷🇺 Vermögen wirtschaftlich nutzen, um sie in ein Kapitalmarkt-Instrument für #Kyiv zu verwandeln. Damit hätten wir nicht nur ein politisches Zeichen gesetzt, sondern auch die 🇺🇦-Hilfe finanziell abgesichert. www.wiwo.de/politik/deut...

Jetzt ein europäisches Investitionsprogramm und Abkommen mit der Ukraine, finanziert durch die europäischen Finanzinstitutionen. Und schrittweiser Aufbau einer europäischen Militärpräsenz. Europäische Sicherheit und Sicherheit der Ukraine sind ein und dieselbe Frage.

Ich habe Wolodymyr Selenskyj gewählt (sagt man als Journalist eigentlich nicht), es öfters bereut und in fast sechs Jahren im Amt überwiegend kritisiert. Jeder europäischer Staats- und Regierungschef sollte ihm gegenüber aber jetzt dankbar sein, dass es ihn überhaupt gibt.

Am Ende kann ich nur wiederholen: Wenn man bei Russland nicht weiterkommt, versucht man halt, die schwächere Ukraine unter Druck zu setzen und sie als nicht gesprächsbereit zu präsentieren. Genial ist diese „Verhandlungsstrategie“ nicht. Überraschend aber auch nicht. Leider.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Hat sich denn Putin wenigstens schon artig bedankt?

Die öffentliche Demütigung des Opfers mit dem Ziel seiner Selbstbezichtigung ist essentieller Teil des Faschismus.

Was muss der Mann auch immer so kurze Röcke tragen

In other words, the Trump administration has failed to deliver on its promise to stop the war in one day. If anything, after this meeting, we are further from peace than we were during Biden. Art of The Deal

Niemand braucht die FAZ, um einfach nur Trumps Aussagen ungefiltert wiederzugeben. Dafür gibt es Social Media. Truth Social oder Twitter sind besser darin. Cc @pbahners.bsky.social et al.

“Mr President, you’ve lost the Telegraph editorial page”

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I can't speak for my government, but I can speak as a German citizen. We stand on your side and behind the Ukrainian people. They are not only fighting for their survival, but also for ours. We should be at least as grateful as the Ukrainians themselves are for our assistance.

Spineless Trump sycophant and Putin apologist Marco Rubio terminated U.S. support for restoring Ukraine's energy grid moments after President Zelenskyy was kicked out of the White House. Shameless. Despicable. Cowardly.

Journalists and commentators: What happened in the White House was not a “shouting match”. Only the American side was shouting.

Trump is a moron, Vance is evil. We have to gone up if we want to survive. US is gone.

Decent people thank Ukraine.

Europa steht heute vereint hinter der Ukraine und ihrem Präsidenten.

Ukraine is not alone. Germany together with our European allies stands united alongside #Ukraine - and against the Russian aggression. Ukraine can build on unwavering support from Germany, Europe and beyond. Their defence of democracy & their quest for peace & security is ours.

I agree with this. Clarity can be terrifying. It can also be immensely helpful. There is no hiding from reality now.

Russia does not want to end the war, and the Trump administration has shown no ability to induce Russia to end the war. And so, predictably, the Trump administration blames the victim, blames Ukraine.

Vielleicht sollte sich alle Parteien der Mitte das Ding mit dem Sondervermögen (und mehr als 200 Milliarden) in den nächsten Wochen jetzt nochmal überlegen.

Zelensky stood up to putin, now he's standing up to trump & vance. they're not used to it!!!

Trump scheint ziemlich unter Druck zu stehen, wenn er sich der Welt so präsentiert. Zelensky hingegen ist gewohnt souverän. Wer von beiden braucht den Vertrag dringender?

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

I am a pessimist by training but I am more optimistic about Ukraine now than I was this morning. Wish I could say this about the US. This was a horror show, but the trajectory was unsustainable and Trump, in his efforts to help Putin might have generated the pushback energy I haven't seen since 2022

If this display in the White House towards Ukraine‘s president does not finally show European leaders that they need to get their act together, I do not know what will. Russia and America are a threat to peace and freedom in Europe.

Let’s be clear: a free and sovereign Ukraine is not only in the European interest. It’s also in the interest of the entire world. An investment in Ukraine’s sovereignty is an investment in the prevention of future wars. My statement in Kyiv ↓ europa.eu/!JQGJm8

On February 27, 2015, ten years ago, Boris #Nemtsov was murdered by Putin's henchmen. He had always condemned his crimes, notably in Chechnya and Ukraine. He had no dreams of empire or grandeur. He was the only one who could have seriously competed with Putin. He was killed for that.

"Anyone who can’t admit that Russia attacked Ukraine should not be helping make decisions about our national security," - Tammy Duckworth, U.S. Senator

Woke up to see Donald Trump sharing a video on Truth Social about turning Gaza into a holiday resort with a giant gold statue of Trump, ending with a final shot of Trump and Netanyahu enjoying the beach together. Absolutely unhinged. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

A real exchange that happened today.

Die Ukrainer sind Patrioten der Freiheit! Sie wünschen sich nur eins: Einen gerechten (!) und dauerhaften Frieden. Seit fast 11 Jahren verteidigen die Ukrainer ihr Land gegen den russischen Aggressor. Sie tun das auch für uns in Deutschland. In Europa. #WeStandWithUkraine

Quite a big deal from NATO’s official contrarian: Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan: “We are in favor of Ukraine becoming a NATO member. This was the statement from our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, so this is our official position.”

Macron being like “actually, no” and fact-checking Trump on live TV is extremely satisfying after watching sycophants suck up to him for weeks edition.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

“Dictator” Zelenskyy is helping clean up the water that was spilled during the conference.. Shame on those who simply decide to lie about someone’s character.

Apart from the many disqualifying features of Patel & Bongino, there is no indication either has any ability to run the FBI. Neither has *any* leadership experience at *any* level of *anything*, much less leadership experience relevant to the largest law enforcement agency in the U.S.

The most beautiful three-word phrase in the English language: Трамп — не навсегда.

Here’s the new Deputy Director of the FBI. 👇

Remarkable assessment by an incoming German chancellor. “for me it is an absolute priority to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible, so that we achieve independence from the US, step by step.” www.dw.com/en/german-el...

Furchtbarer Verdacht: War die SPD einfach nicht besonnen genug? 😈

Wir können nur hoffen, dass die Worte von Kellogg (noch) was wert sind im Zirkuszelt. 🤷‍♂️
