Can no longer tell the difference between American and Russian statements. Surprised it was Russian this time.

If Americans think they can loot occupied Ukraine together with Russians, they are completely braindead.

A key lesson that America’s frontline partners quietly learned from how the US treated Ukraine after Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion is that relying on US weapons or tech that can cut-off, limited, or geofenced leaves you captive to “de-escalation” /1 www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Come join us on Sunday if you are in Cork

Didn't take long to get here. My only hope is that the EU will not jump on the bandwagon of lifting sanctions too and going back to Russian gas/oil, because can you not die quicker, Ukrainians, aren't you a bloody nuisance to everyone's cosy life with Russia.

Most optimistic Ukrainian

I was electrocuted, beaten, stabbed in the leg and starved after being captured while defending my home and family in Mariupol. We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

So true

Ok today Trump is giving us a mix of Feb 2022 and his impeachment in 2019. But his screaming at Zelensky costs Ukrainian lives this time.

The EU cannot get their act together to step up their own defense and military support for Ukraine. But they are already drawing up plans how to get rid of Ukrainian refugees in case of a truce. Priorities are clear, thanks a million lads 👌 www.eurointegration.com.ua/news/2025/02...

Jeez. Trump actually just said it. He actually just said that Ukraine shouldn't have started this war! He’s actually siding with a crazed, murderous dictator

You ever feel like we just caused a great discomfort to the world by not quietly dying in February 2022

After we let Russia occupy part of your country and steal your resources, we will occupy the other part and do the same. Quite the starting point for the Americans.

This is like Feb 2022 repeated with US on Russia's side

March 2022 Marco Rubio might have been surprised to learn that a leading figure helping Russia try to achieve its war aims is February 2025 Marco Rubio.

"Ukraine was required to sign the document immediately to meet with Vance and negotiate the outlines of peace, and they gave time until the evening to agree on amendments." America, you are dishonoured. www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

Massively shocking and dishonourable American behaviour in its proposal to Kyiv of 7 February: Telegraph: "If this draft were accepted, Trump’s demands would amount to a higher share of Ukrainian GDP than reparations imposed on Germany at the Versailles Treaty" www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Zelenskyy's Munich speech and press statements today seem to mark a new turn for him. In the past he has used moral suasion and guilt trips as a cudgel with DC and Brussels, but I'm not aware of him explicitly calling out the US as a definitively unreliable partner for both Kyiv and Europe before.

The War between King James and King William in 1689-91, that decided the fate of Ireland. Not only 'Derry Aughrim and the Boyne' but also a war that shaped the future of the Kingdom of Ireland fro over 100 years and still has resonances today www.theirishstory.com/2018/07/08/t...

Ukraine got into a war because Russia invaded them, demanding they give up independence. The only way for Ukraine to not go into war was bowing down to Putin and forfeiting freedom. As Clausewitz said, “The aggressor is always peace-loving… he would prefer to take over our country unopposed.”
