How to defeat russia?
A total blockade of the “shadow fleet” = halting up to 82% of russia’s oil exports.
Sanctions on vessels, owners & ports + international strait inspections = a direct strike at the Kremlin’s main revenue.
Advocacy visit continues. @Hanna Hopko met with NATO PA President Marcos Perestrello.
Key topics:
🔹 Security guarantees for Ukraine
🔹 Confiscation of Russian assets
🔹 Scaling up weapons production
ANTS keeps building international support & training youth to defend 🇺🇦 interests in NATO.

Victory isn’t only the front—it’s institutions & resources. From the #MSC alumni meeting:
Confiscate Russian assets for air defense & recovery.
Scale EU–Ukraine defense co-production.
Winter-proof grids/services. Europe’s security = Ukraine.
russia’s economy under pressure from war: where will the kremlin look for money?

Recovery means justice. #ANTS team at #URC2025 in Rome
We are talking about broader framework:
❗️Air defense
❗️Community support
❗️Full economic isolation of russia
❗️Sanctions that work
❗️Asset confiscation
🧐 russia can no longer finance the war without resorting to desperate measures
❗️Military spending up 57%, while the budget deficit soared by 623% in just one year.

As 🇷🇺 escalates its hybrid operations across the continent, 🇪🇺 faces a deepening security crisis driven by internal vulnerabilities, strategic ambiguity, and a shifting global order.

🇩🇰 Denmark is taking the #EU lead.
🇺🇦 Ukraine is fighting for survival — and its European future.
Joined @DIPD and 6 🇩🇰 parties to talk democracy, trust, and how to keep reforms strong during war.
We said it clearly:
No to fatigue
Yes to weapons & sanctions
Total isolation for Russia
#SupportUkraine
We don’t need a another package of sanctions. What we need is full economic isolation of 🇷🇺.
@hhopko.bsky.social during the Readiness 2030: New Framework for Ukrainian-European Partnership forum
@icuv.bsky.social
On Europe Day in Kyiv, @hhopko.bsky.social joined 🇪🇺 #EU Ambassador @Katarína Mathernová and key leaders to discuss what brings 🇺🇦 closer to the EU:
Reforms that work.
Regions that matter.
Zero tolerance for corruption.
Ukraine not just in Europe — but helping shape it.
Important conversation between @hhopko.bsky.social and @Nicolas Tenzer #CERAP:
– How to counter Russia’s narratives in Europe
– Why Ukraine’s defense industry still faces obstacles
– How Western support must evolve
– What true victory requires
Grateful for Mr. Tenzer’s strong support for Ukraine.
#China is trying to increase its presence in #Ukraine — in trade, infrastructure, and narratives. But what does #Beijing want — and what should Ukraine want in return? We explore the facts, the risks, and the choices ahead.

Ukraine’s budget is a mirror of its #wartime priorities.
We discussed what the 2022–2025 budgets reveal about military strategy, defense industry, and economic resilience.
Hosted by #ANTS Network. Open to all.
European security is impossible without Ukraine.
At the meeting with EU Commissioner @andriuskubilius.ec.europa.eu:
China sides with Russia — a threat to democracies.
Ukraine must be central to EU defence.
Strengthen, not weaken sanctions.
EU integration = security.

🇷🇺 is not invincible. Its economy is cracking.
Only force, sanctions, and long-range drones can change the course of the war. @hhopko.bsky.social at the 🇺🇦–🇸🇪 meeting:
"🇸🇪 support isn’t just assistance — it’s an investment in Europe’s security. No appeasement of the Kremlin — only pressure and action."
Did WWII end in 1945 — or did totalitarianism just adapt?
In this interview, @hhopko.bsky.social reflects on unpunished Soviet crimes & today’s Russian war.
Special thanks to @Anna Danylchuk for helping truth be heard. 💙💛

May 8. #Ukraine reclaims the truth.
Ukraine fights not only a defensive war — but a war for historical justice.
russia hijacked WWII memory to justify new wars.
🇺🇦 Ukraine was key to defeating nazism.
🇷🇺 Modern russia follows the aggressors’ path.
Defending Ukraine = defending freedom in Europe.
This is not "a frozen conflict". This is a terrorist state bombing the capital of a sovereign country in 2025.
This morning, russia once again attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles. Residential buildings were hit. Civilians killed and injured.
Ukraine needs air defense. Now.
🌍 37 billion cigarette butts yearly — the #tobacco industry is poisoning Ukraine.
That’s 1,200 per person, including babies. Most end up in water, soil, streets — toxic for decades.
On Earth Day, we and our partners held a press conference exposing the industry's environmental crimes.

Key Takeaways — "Countering the Authoritarian Axis":
👉 Russia, China, Iran, North Korea = growing alliance,
👉 China backs Russia,
👉 Sanctions matter,
👉 #EU must act.
Ukraine’s fight = global stability.
@icuv.bsky.social @hhopko.bsky.social
One of those myths is that of an “all-powerful russia” — allegedly equipped with limitless resources, military dominance, and economic resilience.
But by 2025, even the most cautious analysts are forced to admit: 🇷🇺 is weakening.
