Months of Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries have crimped Russia’s ability to produce refined fuels and turned the world’s third­-largest oil producer into an importer of petrol econ.st/3UfneEI 👇

This is yet another but perhaps most consequential betrayal by Georgia’s ruling party. #Georgia does not belong to the Russian sphere of influence. It belongs to Europe. #NotoRussianLaw

Former top CIA China military analyst Dennis Wilder偉德寧 says declassified intelligence shows that #China supplying #Russia with even more than many people had believed

My concern isn't imperial overstretch so much as an inability or unwillingness to resolve anything. We don't seem to solve crises, we 'manage' and collect them like explosive trinkets.

Tomorrow the American Coalition for Ukraine Ukraine Action Summit kicks off at a critical moment. Hundreds of advocates from around the U.S. will assemble in Washington, DC to demand #UkraineAidNow .

Next week, the halls of Congress will be filled with advocates demanding a vote on Ukraine aid.

“The West” congratulates itself a lot: the military aid is unprecedented, the sanctions are unprecedented, our unity is unprecedented. Maybe so. But the goal isn’t to be unprecedented and feel good about it. The goal is to help Ukraine win. Let’s do that.

The next time you feel the need to get breathless about the “middle corridor” or whatever it’s next name will be, please remember that China is waging a proxy war against Europe.

Kirill Serebrennikov described Limonov as “very special russian character”.

That character was involved in killing Bosnians during genocide and founded russian nazi party advocating to destroy Ukraine,other ethnicities.

Cannes festival giving this film platform is atrocious.

Putting aside the military dynamics themselves, these bases were established in large part as a hedge against Iran specifically. When you abandon principles and values in alliance building, this is a natural conclusion. middleeasteye.net/news/exclusive…

Today, yesterday, and the day before, Discharge Petition #9 to bring Ukraine aid to the floor for a vote gained new signatures.

Congressman Jared Golden, THANK YOU for adding your name as the 195th signature today. Each member of Congress must do everything to pass #UkraineAidNow .

European countries rebuff Kyiv’s calls for more air defences
Germany has sent two Patriot systems to Ukraine but is reluctant to give more ft.com/content/55934e…

There is no peace or justice in ANY 'deal' that would structurally deprive Kyiv of the surest guarantee of its independence, NATO membership.

🇵🇱 Radek Sikorski “The Pres of the US went to Kyiv in wartime & assured Ukraine that the US will do ‘whatever it takes’. That ‘whatever it takes’ surely includes antimissiles artillery…to defend Ukrainian cities. If it doesn’t, the US credibility will be at stake.”

good christ who cares

BREAKING: Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili has announced she will pardon Georgian foreign agent law protester Lazare Grigoriadis, after he was sentenced to nine years in prison earlier today. oc-media.org/georgian-presi…

Courageous move by President Salome Zourabichvili, who has really cemented herself as a leader who has been very clearly and proactively working to represent the Georgian population's Euro-Atlantic choice.

There are rumors that the US is trying to push a settlement between Russia and Ukraine.

Very unlikely that this works even temporarily.

But in any case, European military support for Ukraine must massively grow. Only way to contain and deter Russia is military counter-pressure.
