Kharkiv region. Kupyan district. Russia shelled the store, 49 people have already died. People came to buy food. So what do you think, Russia is still not a terrorist state?

“The United States now confronts graver threats to its security than it has in decades, perhaps ever. Never before has it faced four allied antagonists at the same time—Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.”

The Kremlin’s ability to sustain a long war in Ukraine is not a given — it disproportionately depends on whether Russia gets the time and space to rebuild its capabilities. Enabling further successful Ukrainian counteroffensives will deny the Kremlin a breather to replenish its… Show more

The current debate over US aid to #Ukraine is filled with terms such as “long war,” or “proxy war.” But, as ISW #Russia Fellow @nataliabugayova wrote in April, that debate is a misframing of the conflict and what the United States must do: https://isw.pub/LongWarDebate

Shockingly bad report by the CBC last night where they legitimized Valdai Club, gave a national platform to a fringe pro-totalitarian/Putin Canadian academic and downplayed yesterday’s missile attack. Hands-down the worst reporting I’ve seen on Russia and the war from the CBC.

The @CBC handed Putin a big win last night, giving his Valdai Club event, his morally dysfunctional cheerleaders and his narratives uncritical top billing while underplaying the 50+ killed in Hroza in this report. Please: do better.

This is murder. This is Russia’s attempt to eradicate the Ukrainian state and the Ukrainian people. While Scholz refuses to provide weapons Ukraine could use to defend itself by striking military targets, the Russian terror state continues to strike civilians.

On the day 55 people are killed, Scholtz won’t ‘escalate’. Irresponsible behavior from any politician… reprehensible for a top EU ‘leader’. Led by the nose by Putin’s aggression !

According to Germany’s government, the country’s economy is expected to shrink by 0.4%. Russia’s economy will grow by 2.8% for the year. Well done to Scholz, Baerbock & Co!

Brussels legally raped Poland and Hungary by forcing through the #MigrationPact . So there will be no compromise on migration. Not today, and not in the upcoming years. We will defend our borders from migrants and from the Brussels bureaucrats as well!

The heat is on in #Brussels: the budget is a mess, the #MigrationPact has failed, and the Brusselian strategy on the Russia-Ukraine war is fundamentally flawed. In this situation, Hungary cannot support any budget amendment proposal.
“French officials said the negotiations were being affected by something deeper: German fears that France would gain a competitive edge with cheap #nuclear energy to the disadvantage of German manufacturers.”
