Sickening. In the meantime Marco Rubio accused his Polish colleague of "making things up" and demanded that he has "to say thank you". He also counterfactually claimed thay "no-one has made any threats about cutting Ukraine off from Starlink". (See link in the comments.) Sickening.

Die taz gibt einem geschichtsvergessenen Vertreter der "Mourir-pour-Dantzig?"-Fraktion das Wort. Ich verkneifs mir, hier diesem Interessenvertreter Putins zu viel Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken. Ob er wenigstens weiss, dass die "Sterben fuer Danzig"-Phrase von einem Faschisten erfunden wurde?

Serhii Zhadan, poet, novelist, translator, social activist and … rock star. I wonder if this is the same railway station where my father arrived in Kharkiv in 1945, when he started to work as a welder in a local factory (KHEMS). He was 19 years old and a PoW.

The end of the cooperation of the US and Ukrainian Intelligence Agencies makes it much easier for Putin to murder an even greater number of Ukrainian civilians. Trump is a war criminal that should be locked up for life, just like his puppet master in Moscow.
