“We’re not kids playing with Putin in a park. He’s a killer who came to murder children,” Zelenskyy said, rebuking Trump’s remarks about him and the Russian dictator. Ukraine’s pain, he added, is hard for any non-Ukrainian, including the U.S. President, to fully grasp.

Oof.

🌉/1. Ukraine’s Security Service Hits Crimean Bridge in Underwater Sabotage Operation The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has carried out a new special operation targeting the Crimean Bridge—its third successful strike on the structure, this time using underwater explosives.

"You teamed up with Trump to throw the Ukrainian people under the bus. Putin is playing you like a fiddle." — Senator Chris Van Hollen clashed with Secretary of State Marco Rubio during Senate hearings, accusing the Trump admin of failing to stop the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.

UK-EU deal 👍👍 Tories should take this opportunity, embrace the deal, push for strengthening relationship, and put the Brexit nonsense behind them. Continuing Brexit ideology is nonsensical now.

A quick reminder of what today is really about: Russia threatens Europe. America is gone. It will not save us. Britain and Europe must work closely and with trust, on defense and everything else, in order to counter the Kremlin threat.

Congratulations Romania! You've defeated Russia, fascism, and ignorance today. 🇷🇴🇪🇺🇫🇷

Nicușor Dan, is the new President of Romania, he is pro-EU, pro-Ukraine, a mathematician, genius IQ, and wants to eradicate corruption and organized crime. "Today’s win is by a Romanian community that wants a profound change," "We are living a moment of hope."

⚡️ Pro-European Nicușor Dan is set to become Romania’s next president. With nearly 99% in, his lead over George Simion is larger than the number of votes remaining — making his victory certain.

Well, this didn't age particularly well.

Wondering if the time passed is now sufficient for UK govt to disclose long suspected Russian interference in Brexit ....

🇵🇰Pakistan-India🇮🇳 ▪️Pakistan says any attempt to violate its rights over the lower riparian waters will be considered an "act of war." Pakistan rejects India’s announcement to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty. ▪️India suspends visa services for Pakistani nationals with immediate effect.

This will lead to war, no doubt. Pakistan will suffer massive drought. India Water Resources Minister C. R. Patil: “The government is working on measures so that not even a drop of water goes to Pakistan. “Soon, desilting of rivers will be done to stop the water and divert it.”

⚡️ 'We know what we are fighting for' — Zelensky's Easter address to Ukraine in full. Zelensky lauded Ukraine's "resilience, compassion, and humanity," adding the country's faith has "not faded over 1,152 days of full-scale war."

🚫 On January 5, 2023, Putin announced a 36-hour Christmas ceasefire. There was no ceasefire, the assaults continued as before. Moreover, Russia was then regrouping near Bakhmut and exactly by the morning of January 6 began an assault on Soledar, which was occupied by the end of the following week.

This is organist Olena Kohut, killed today in Sumy by the Russian missile. Joseph Rheinberger, Visione, op. 156 no. 5 💔

Hi all, I sent out my latest newsletter earlier today, providing some final words on Europe's self-imposed missile conundrum. It's obvious that Russia is preparing for the next missile war. Are we? You can access the post via the link in my bio, short summary below. 1/4

Tin pot dictator overseeing the destruction his own incredible country.

The insiders seem to have had a 20min warning before the public

Well said this man 👇

There is not a single area where Ukrainian soldiers are even remotely in danger of being encircled. Instead, there is one combat area where an encirclement is happening and this in Toretsk, where Russian forces are about to be cut off in the West of the town, if they didn't have left already.

🤬 Russia has abducted over 19,000 Ukrainian children, another 1,700 missing

***UPDATE*** I hate being right about things. #OSINT What looks like the first photos of China’s ‘invasion barges’ we first reported in naval news recently www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2... The front barge (self propelled) is the smallest type, some are twice this size

Two rules to bear in mind during the coming four years: 1️⃣ It's always worse behind the scenes than you know, or can even imagine. 2️⃣ The stupidest possible explanation is the most likely to be correct (AKA Trump's Razor).

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

I’d like to remind you that there was no deal or agreement on that. However, Ukraine did sign a written agreement in which the U.S. provided "security assurances" in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons. We would now like our nuclear weapons back
