President Zelenskyy has taken aim at Trump this morning, and rightly so.

The US President is directly contributing to thr murder of civilians in Ukraine.

Kyiv is no longer trying to charm Donald Trump

After months of talks,praise,and concessions, Ukraine is building around America instead of around its promises: new military partners, deeper strikes,and open talk of a Europe that can defend itself without the United States

That is a strategic break

Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done Allied leaders know that any positive gesture they make will count for nothing.

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember

When Trump attacks Greenland and gets stuck with "fake AI-icebergs" sinking the US Navy, will he call for Nato aid to clear up the icebergs?

🥴 In my youth I said "no" to the Soviet Union. Now I say "no" to Ukrainians, - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

A clear majority (eyeball: 80-90%?) of tankers present in and around Hormuz strait are sanctioned ones.

Probably not news to insiders, like @TankerTrackers who got me the sanctions-list, but it was to me.

I will never take anybody seriously using foul language like that, let alone wanting to interact with them in any way.

Such a powerful image in Le Monde.

There are about two dozens stateless shadow tankers in European waters at the moment.

All are fair game for any navy, anywhere.

Never give up!

If no one noticed yet the events in Venezuela are also a sign that when things hit tipping point in Tehran then Russia and China won't be able to save the regime in Iran either

It's New Year, so time to look back and forward. These are 10 things I think we need to recognise in 2026. It’s a response to what I think are profoundly damaging mistaken assumptions I’ve heard and read from practitioners, journalists, and analysts in 2025. Warning: very long🧵

What are the US & Ukraine negotiating about?
1. Trump wants Ukraine to give up territory to Russia for no good reason - not even Russian ceasefire.
2. Ukraine asks for security guarantees, but the US has none to offer, nor anything else.
Stop talking to Putin's proxy Trump!

I'd love for anyone who thinks Russia is so great to leave and go live there.

It proves many things:

Russian energy was never cheap, neither politically nor economically.
Russian energy was always unreliable.
Russia always needed Europe more than the other way around.

Natural gas prices in Europe have all but returned to normal since Russia's full scale war in Ukraine. In fact, the only reason for the spike in 2021 and 2022 has been Russia's energy war against Europe, which started even before the full scale invasion of Ukraine. The numbers clearly say that.

“We get paid for this,” - Ukraine’s HUR chief Budanov's response when asked by a journalist whether Ukrainian intelligence is capable of eavesdropping on high-ranking Russian officials.

Czech President Pavel warns: “If Putin wins in Ukraine, we all lose.” He compared secret U.S.-Russia talks on territorial concessions to the 1938 Munich Agreement, calling them dangerously familiar. Letting Russia emerge victorious from this war, he stressed, would be a defeat for all of Europe.

This isn't Hiroshima in 1945.
This isn't Dresden in 1945.
This is Vovchansk, Ukraine — December 2025.
Days before Christmas.

A European town in 2025 looks like cities erased in World War II.

Not because of a natural disaster.
Not because of an accident.👇

Denna vecka har vi överlämnat 18 fordon som vi kört ner i flera konvojer.

Vinter, snö och is stoppar oss inte. Vi kör tills Ukraina segrar – punkt.

Idag finns det minst 28 anledningar att rage-swisha.

Det är billigare än terapi och betydligt mer skadligt för ockupanten.

Hela Witkoffs 28-punktspapper är fylledimma. Men nu bara om idén om ”amnesti” för gärningar under kriget: Visst, Ukraina kan låta bli att lagföra ryssar. Men Ukraina (och Ryssland) äger inte frågan. Krigets lagar (IHL) gäller oavsett vad de krigförande parterna tycker om dem.

Shatura power station in Moscow region was hit overnight, igniting transformers at the 1500 MW facility with locals reporting at least six strikes.

Ukrainas ambassadör: Ryssland kommer inte bli demokratiskt inom överskådlig framtid - Ekots lördagsintervju Ukrainas nya ambassadör i Sverige, Svitlana Zalisjtjuk, om JAS Gripen, vad som kan sätta press på Putin, och Ukrainas framtid.

Vi fick precis indirekt ett uppdrag ifrån Ukrainas ambassadör i Sverige. ”- Vi fler Patriot luftvärn, mer gasimport och fler SMÅ ENKLARE ELVERK”

Dom första grejerna överlämnar vi till Kristersson. Men med hjälp av er följare kan vi absolut lösa den sista punkten!

Yes, and scratching at the fleas will keep him even warmer 😀

Looks like one more incoming at the end of the clip 😀

Take a deep breath muscuvites!

Looking forward to winter 😀
