The Russo-Ukrainian war started at 4.30 AM on February 27th 2014 when Russian troops took control of the Crimean Parliament building in Simferopol. The invasion of Crimea was followed by the invasion of Donbass in March 2014. The war has been going on ever since.

"Don't you dare build your own European satellite network. You must use the American one that can be shut off by a single deranged billionaire." Quite the pitch from the US ambassador to the EU

One of the most powerful missile attacks on Kyiv in recent memory. Dozens of explosions. Russian missiles are hitting various parts of the city tonight. It seems Witkoff was negotiating not peace in Moscow, but more strikes on Ukraine. After his visit, "humanist" Putin became even more furious in his killing.

Sullivan denied Ukraine arms when it needed it the most. He is no better than Musk and Trump.
Jake Sullivan on Ukraine: I think Putin doesn't just want the four oblasts and I think he doesn't just want a neutral Ukraine, he wants a neutered Ukraine. He wants a peace outcome, peace in quotes, that will allow him ultimately to render Ukraine essentially a non-viable entity. I think he needs to be denied that goal because I do think it is in the American national interest ... to ensure that this kind of aggression cannot ultimately succeed.

The collapse of the global order is not at heart a Ukraine, Europe, China, Russia, bond market or AI crisis. It all converges towards the America Crisis.

Trump is now blocking the transfer of patriot missiles from European allies to Ukraine. Trump has also stopped the delivery of American weapons purchased by European countries for Ukraine.

Look at the numbers Norway + Denmark and Sweden has supported Ukraine with more than 17 Billion. We are together around 19 million. If other European countries had made the same support the war would have been ended a long time ago.

Ukraine's sanctions commissioner Vladyslav Vlasiuk criticized the first Russian diesel shipment to the US. He calculates that the 40,000-ton cargo equals roughly 300,000 barrels, less than two hours of US diesel demand. With the voyage from Ust-Luga taking 2.5 to 3 weeks, Vlasiuk says the US will export more than 4 million tons of its own diesel before the tanker arrives, around 100 times the volume it brings. #Ukraine

Trump is blocking even third countries from giving Ukraine Patriot missiles. He’s washing American foreign policy in the blood of innocent civilians while praising the war criminal behind those deaths. Pure evil.
The White House has blocked the transfer of Patriot missiles to Ukraine, US officials have said. The transfer of interceptor missiles from countries friendly to Ukraine requires the approval of Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

Ce que dit ici Budanov 🇺🇦 est très important, parce qu'il détaille implicitement la stratégie russe 🇷🇺 pour ne pas arrêter la guerre. La Russie revendique le contrôle de 6 500 km² de plus que l'Ukraine, comme le montre la carte. On y compte 5 villes partiellement ou totalement sous contrôle ukrainien : Koupiansk, Lyman, Kostiantynivka, Dobropilla et Orikhiv. Les zones en jaune sont celles que Moscou revendique comme étant sous son contrôle (ce qui est faux et a déjà été prouvé de nombreuses fois). En cas de négociations, la Russie fera tergiverser toute avancée en demandant aux ukrainiens de respecter leur ligne. En cas de cessez-le-feu, c'est aussi un moyen de le violer facilement, en accusant les ukrainiens de tirer sur des soldats russes alors que ceux-ci seront parfois 10-15 km derrière la ligne de front réelle. Jour après jour, les ukrainiens répètent qu'ils sont prêts à des négociations, demandent un cessez-le-feu sur les lignes actuelles et proposent des cessez-le-feu aériens. À chaque fois, la Russie refuse ou tente de manipuler la négociation avec des mensonges. Cette carte est le témoin que la Russie ne compte pas stopper la guerre. On pourra aller à Moscou autant que nous le voudrons, parler à Poutine aussi souvent qu'il le faudra, tant qu'il croit qu'il peut gagner, il continuera. C'est pour cette raison que je suis très pessimiste et que je crois que la guerre durera encore des années si aucune avancée décisive n'est faite. À moins de forcer les ukrainiens à se retirer de leur territoire souverain (ce qu'ils ne comptent pas faire), pas grand-chose ne pourra arrêter la guerre.

Right now, difficult negotiations are underway in pursuit of a lasting peace, which is needed not only by Ukraine. At this difficult moment, it is essential that all sides take a measured approach, including by realistically assessing the situation and communicating truthful information. The objective fact is that Dobropillia remains under Ukrainian control, so there can be no talk of Russian forces having “captured” this Ukrainian city. At the same time, the commander of Russia’s Group of Forces "Center," Colonel General Andrey Ivanayev, is deliberately misinforming the Russian president, intimidating his own subordinates and setting them impossible tasks, demanding that they demonstrate the capture of the Ukrainian city of Dobropillia at any cost, because Ivanayev himself has already reported that it has been captured. Ukraine’s Defense Forces are holding their positions to protect our state’s interests and our land. No false statements will change reality.

"Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration, U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter said. Both Musk and President Trump have expressed anger at Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries in recent weeks, which the president blames for high energy prices. Last week, Musk capped the speeds at which Ukrainian hardware could stay connected to the satellite-based network, the people said, rendering some offensive drones and interceptor drones virtually useless." @jdawsey1 @alexbward @natalieandrews wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…

So Europeans paid for interceptor missiles for Patriot in Ukraine, but USA is refusing to deliver?!
Breaking news: The Trump administration has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine that are needed to protect the country from Russian attacks, officials said, a delay that comes as President Trump has embraced Russia in recent weeks. wapo.st/4yCb7T7

America's gifts to Russia never end, with Russian military bloggers now confirming that Washington's operation to cut Ukraine's Starlink has halted Ukraine's ability to strike Russian logistics routes in Ukraine. An operation likely written in the Kremlin, executed by Washington.

Trump admin just solved a critical frontline problem for Russia by removing Ukrainian Forces' middle range drone capabilities.
russia has run into serious problems with its offensive in Donbas, where its forces have become bogged down. One of the main reasons was that russian logistics had been crippled by Ukrainian drone strikes. This campaign depended heavily on Starlink terminals operating on high-speed Ukrainian drones. russian military command identified this as a critical problem and approached the American side, asking it to restrict the speeds at which Starlink terminals could operate. The argument was simple: there would be little public backlash because the US could still claim that Starlink was operational and that the service was still being provided. The Trump administration agreed to the restrictions, effectively solving a critical battlefield problem for Russia. As a result, russian logistics in Donbas are now safer, and Ukraine has lost an important advantage on the battlefield.

These are not transfers from the US, but from other countries. The US is now actively sabotaging Ukrainian defense of civilians.
