Terwijl team Trump Oekraïne wil opofferen aan schimmige achterkamerdealtjes met Poetin, probeerden de Finse en Noorse leiders een voet tussen de deur te krijgen en belden Poetin. Haalt dit wat uit? Mijn commentaar op @NPORadio1 : nporadio1.nl/fragmenten/bure…

Oekraïne ontvangt weer inlichtingen van de VS, nadat die korte tijd waren geblokkeerd. Zelensky probeert de relatie te herstellen, maar Trump verwijt hem de vrede tegen te werken. 'EVA' bespreekt de ontwikkelingen met Rusland expert @HSalemon. eva.avrotros.nl/artikel/trum…

“We staan op en verklaren dat we onze beschaving beschermen, onze religie behouden, onze waarden en ons erfgoed, en we zullen ervoor zorgen dat ons land nooit zal worden veroverd of vernietigd door mensen die ons haten.” Poetin aan het woord? Nee, Poetins copy cat Trump [CNN].

We need to consider banning European political parties that are loyal to the Kremlin. They would side with Russia if it attacked, and that makes them a serious national security risk

🇫🇷🇷🇺 French intelligence agencies have confirmed that Russia-linked bot networks are weaponizing the past weekend's violent riots by flooding social media with old, recycled, and AI-generated fake videos of police brutality to provoke the rioters even further. Russian networks like "Matryoshka" are acting as digital opportunistic arsonists, intentionally exaggerating the scale of the chaos to simulate nationwide civil unrest.

In de Donbas zijn hulpverleners die burgers evacueren voortdurend doelwit. Tijdens een evacuatie in #Sloviansk verwoestten de Russen de auto van volunteer Vladyslav Samusenko met een drone. Een paar minuten later stuurden ze hem een private message met een foto van hun misdaad. 'We weten waar je woont.'

Tens of millions of dollars that the London-listed iron ore giant Ferrexpo donated to a Ukrainian charity were not used for their intended purpose, according to a forensic report shared with OCCRP. Instead, the charitable funds flowed through dozens of Ukrainian companies — some of which were owned or controlled by Ferrexpo’s then-CEO Kostyantyn Zhevago.

Der russischen Turnerin Angelina Melnikowa wurde die Einreise zur WM nach Rotterdam wegen ihrer Nähe zum Kreml verweigert. Die Behörden haben gemacht, wozu der Weltverband nicht in der Lage war. Link in X-Bio.

Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's remarks were made the same day Russia conducted a drone strike killing six civilians including children in a Kharkiv region park, plus missile and energy infrastructure attacks leaving hundreds of thousands without power. kyivindependent.com/what-russias-d… kyivindependent.com/russian-drone-… kyivindependent.com/russia-strikes…

You would have to be a fool to build a data center in Russia.
We now hear that 🇺🇸 and 🇷🇺 are also discussing joint data centers. Good luck with that. Europe will certainly not join in. Not difficult to know which interests in 🇷🇺 that will be jubilant over this.

Kan Poetin rustig achterover leunen nu hij 'zijn discipel' Trump heeft ingepakt, en de EU, te beginnen in Duitsland en Frankrijk, van binnenuit kapot wordt gemaakt door extreem-links en - rechts? Mijn commentaar gisteren op @NPO1 , bij 'Eva': npo.nl/start/afspelen/eva_33…

PS I’ve met Putin many times and listened in on calls with him as well. I also speak Russian. Yes he is soft spoken, deliberate, and measured. So what? He’s still a killer. He still launched a barbaric invasion of Ukraine, that has produced tragic loss of life not seen on this scale in Europe since WWII.
