“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...

We need to make sure that Russia doesn’t attack again. And for that, we need to put political and economic pressure on Russia to stop this war, and at the same time, also help Ukraine defend itself. Extract from my interview at 'Face The Nation' ↓

On my way to London to highlight Europe’s ongoing support to Ukraine that can lead to just and lasting peace in Ukraine. The path to peace is strength. Weakness breeds more war. We will support Ukraine, while undertaking a surge in European defence.

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...

„Österreich als Weltmarktführer für Bahnsysteme weiterentwickeln und ausbauen“, heißt es im #Regierungsprogramm. Aus gutem Grund: 7,9 % des Welthandels der Bahnindustrie ist #MadeinAustria. Das kleine Österreich ist weltweit 4. beim Export von Schienenfahrzeugen. Und da geht noch mehr!

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Zur unfassbaren Trump-Eskalation: Europa muss jetzt zusammenrücken & gemeinsam handeln. Trump betreibt eine abscheuliche Täter-Opfer-Umkehr. Die von Russland völkerrechtswidrig angegriffene Ukraine wird lautstark und vor laufender Kamera für die Opfer verantwortlich gemacht. 1/3

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

A just, lasting and comprehensive peace in Ukraine. No matter what the Russian aggressor has in its plans. This is the only way forward. I welcome the adoption of the UNGA resolution, confirming the importance of territorial integrity and sovereignty, in line with the UN Charter.

EU delivers: Foreign Ministers just approved the 16th package of sanctions against Russia. It hits everything from shadow fleet ships to gaming controllers used to control drones. We now have the most extensive sanctions ever, weakening Russia’s war effort.
