It’s not like this is a one off. Russia has been terrorizing and killing civilians for years.
Close the skies.
Arm Ukraine to win.
Hold the Putin regime and Russia accountable.
Implement the Lindsey Graham Sanctions authority right NOW!
None of this should be normalized. Want to end the war? Stop Putin. Want to continue the killing spree? Keep letting him “tap us along.”

At this point, one can only roughly estimate the extent of the damage the russians have caused to every aspect of Ukrainian life, as well as the massive destruction inflicted on Ukraine's environment.
This morning, in the city of Kropyvnytskyi, russian forces struck a shopping mall housing a grocery store. Two people are in critical condition, and many of those inside the building sustained injuries. I wonder how the negotiations taking place in Abu Dhabi today and tomorrow are going…

03.03.2015: Igor Girkin states that the ‘militia’ will be completely crushed within a week once the Ukrainian army has completed its reorganisation and launched a major offensive – unless Russia intervenes. Without military intervention from Moscow, defeat is inevitable.

Боксер Владимир Кличко, брат мэра Киева Виталия Кличко, обратился к оркам:
"Это не мы пришли на вашу землю! Это вы убиваете наших детей, бомбите и сравниваете с землей наши города и дома! Имперскими амбициями, вторжением в Украину и варварством вашей так называемой армии вы посеяли ненависть на века".

Russia’s bombing of an underground shelter in Komyshuvakha was a horrific attack on civilians. At least 55 people were killed and 45 remain missing. They had gathered there to receive humanitarian aid, with the location and timing of the distribution widely publicized.
The Head of the @UNHumanRightsUA said the attack appears to have violated the most fundamental principles of international humanitarian law.
Ukraine’s UN Ambassador said the Komyshuvakha bombing, alongside the Mariupol Drama Theatre strike, will be presented as evidence of Russian war crimes.
Russia must end its attacks on Ukrainian civilians. The international community must step up efforts to protect them and ensure accountability.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says Europe already has a security architecture in place. She has counted at least 30 international agreements in which Russia committed to respect other countries’ sovereignty and territorial integrity, and several of them concern Ukraine.
“Our problem is that Russia is not keeping to those agreements.”
She points to the Budapest Memorandum: in 1994, Ukraine gave up the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances, including from Russia. Twenty years later, Russia occupied Crimea.
Kallas says the focus should be on making Russia keep the obligations it has already taken on, not on writing new ones.

I sometimes read the news feed here, especially stories about my country and the comments underneath. People from other countries write that russia must rebuild the cities in my country and pay reparations to Ukraine once the war ends. But let’s be honest: something far greater was taken, stolen, and stripped away from Ukrainians... something that money can never buy or bring back.
Yes, material things can be restored - cities and homes can be rebuilt, even made better than before. But no one will ever bring back those who died in this war. A shattered body will never be restored to what it once was. Psychological trauma can't be healed by medicine or time; either way, it will keep reminding you of what happened in the past. And then there's "time" itself, the priceless years of life. Some have literally grown up during this war, while other Ukrainians have entered their old age amidst all this, or even as refugees in foreign lands, far from home. And sometimes I hear these words from other Ukrainians:
"…we live in Ukraine, and we don't need to plan for our future."

“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” And on this day in 1989, it indeed came down. 🇩🇪
Unfortunately, short of a defeat, Putin will continue to drag out terror in Ukraine. He has played this card multiple times, regardless of the White House denials.
And short of punishing security guarantees that keep Russia in a leash, his signature on a treaty is worthless. His actions speak far louder than his phone call assurances.
NEW!! In a letter to Sec. Hegseth and OMB Director Vought, 32 bipartisan, bicameral lawmakers are pressing the admin over delays in Ukraine aid
They warn $400M in congressionally approved assistance could take until FY2029 to reach Ukraine and are demanding faster delivery

As the US prepares to mediate another round of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, Washington needs to reject two false Russian narratives:
1. That Moscow's demands are reasonable.
2. That Russia's victory on the battlefield is inevitable.
The State Department, rather than the special envoys, should lead the effort to mediate an end to the war, @RLHeinrichs writes in @NRO.

Actually… a note in a file to a defunct empire was not agreement. A loooooooong way off.
BUT there was an agreement in anticipation of former Soviet republics and block countries petitioning NATO for membership. You have to skip a whole lot of history to arrive at this Kremlin curated narrative.
The Russia NATO Founding Act followed the Partnership for Peace and was a signed agreement that was negotiated to address Russia’s concerns.
1. Deprioritized Russia as the primary opponent of NATO
2. Gave them seats inside Brussels
3. Gave them troop and weapon systems deployment assurances
4. Opened the doors to coordination and cooperation across a number of critical areas to NATO members and Russia
An agreement. Not your mythical sticky note to a dead empire. 😏

The Economist now puts Russia's war dead at 374,000 to 770,000. That is a great many, but the upper figure is more than double the count of Mediazona and Meduza, independent Russian outlets that track the dead by name and by inheritance cases: 352,000.

This opinion piece is simply hogwash. Remember, before the bombs started falling in 2022, Dmitry Kozak delivered a fundamentally similar proposal to Putin that would have kept Ukraine from NATO. Exactly what he was publicly demanding.
This piece fundamentally ignores that Putin rejected this agreement, and initially launched the war in 2014 against a neutral Ukraine.
As to strengthening the alliance, Ukraine could quickly, with Poland, become the anchor of NATO’s eastern flank. The strongest and most capable military in Europe (including Russia). Ukraine meets even the authors’ interpretation of NATO membership criteria.
Russia launched this war as an opportunistic land grab. After atrocities and war crimes committed in Ukraine, Putin and his regime should face justice, not be given the keys to a future attack on Ukraine.

Imagine, the same country that violated Budapest (which it signed onto), as well as friendship and border agreements—must agree to Ukrainian security guarantees!
Definition of insanity.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Ukraine can only receive security guarantees that Russia will also agree to.
"There is no concrete plan yet for what this will look like. As far as I understand, concepts of what security guarantees could be after the conflict were discussed. And this topic is constantly making headlines because, in my opinion, it will be key to ending the war. Ukraine needs to feel secure after the war. And, of course, this must be something that Russia will also agree to—otherwise it won't work. Some may think we're doing the opposite. But in fact, these security guarantees will be key for Ukraine to agree to anything. And, to repeat the obvious, Russia must agree to this too. That's why these negotiations are so important," he told reporters.

"An alle, die behaupten, Russland wolle lediglich Sicherheit:
Georgien war 2008 kein NATO-Mitglied. Es verfügte über keine Armee, die Moskau hätte bedrohen können. Russland ist trotzdem einmarschiert und besetzt bis heute ein Fünftel des georgischen Staatsgebiets.
Es ging nie um Sicherheit. Es ging um Land."

The hunt for the Ones has begun.
Captain Chen and the crew of the superdreadnought Gibraltar race to free the human prisoners held inside the Dyson Sphere before the blood-drinking Ones finish them.
At the same time, the Alliance faces a deadlier threat from within: assassins targeting the leaders of ISA Space Command.
Worse, the Ones have deployed a new sonic weapon. Their discs lock onto the vibration of Alliance ships and defenses, shaking them apart from the inside. No one has found a countermeasure.
As the crew fights on two fronts, Gordon searches for a love he lost across the galaxies—while the clock runs out on every human life still trapped inside the Sphere.
If the Gibraltar fails, the Ones will not only survive. They will win.
A Search Through the Gates!
