In an unmistakable sign of Europe’s rapidly dimming view on America, the U.S. delegation entered the Milan Cortina Opening Ceremony to a chorus of boos and disapproving whistles from the international crowd of more than 65,000. on.wsj.com/3MjdVCp

We’ve seen this pattern over and over, Israel’s lies are exposed and their atrocities become impossible to ignore, there’s some fake outrage from leaders who take no real action, Israel announces “improvements,” and the cycle repeats… This is nothing but genocide propaganda.
New steps to improve the humanitarian response in Gaza: ✈️Aerial airdrops of aid will resume. The airdrop includes 7 pallets of aid containing flour, sugar, and canned food. 🚚Designated humanitarian to enable safe movement of UN convoys delivering food and medicine. ✋Humanitarian pauses may be implemented in populated areas to facilitate aid. 💧A power line from Israel to a Gaza desalination plant has been reconnected, boosting daily water output to 20,000 cubic meters. The IDF emphasizes that there is no starvation in Gaza; this is a false campaign promoted by Hamas. Responsibility for food distribution lies with the UN & international aid organizations. Therefore, the UN and international organizations are expected to improve the effectiveness of aid distribution and to ensure that the aid does not reach Hamas. Combat operations have not ceased. We will continue to operate in Gaza to return all hostages and to defeat Hamas, both above and below ground.

Today, we commemorate victims of Russia’s downing of MH17. Eleven years ago on this day, Russia shot down a Malaysian airlines flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, killing all 298 people of multiple nationalities onboard. Our condolences to everyone in the Netherlands, Australia, Malaysia, and Belgium who lost their loved ones on that tragic day. Since first hours after the crime, Moscow made every effort to shift the blame and avoid accountability. Russian officials and propaganda promoted fakes and conspiracies. But the truth won out over time. The Hague District Court in 2022, ICAO Council and ECHR in 2025 made it clear that Russia is fully responsible for this crime. This case proves that no matter how hard Moscow tries to deceive everyone and deny its responsibility, justice is inevitable. It is critical that not only the executors, but the entire chain of command is held accountable for the murder of innocent people onboard MH17. We will continue working together with partners toward this end.

📌🗓️ A historic day for Moldova: on 25 June 2024, EU accession talks officially began in Luxembourg. A firm step forward on Moldova’s European path - guided by shared values: democracy, rule of law, and good governance. 🇪🇺🇲🇩

Especially in times of hybrid warfare, Europe must protect its citizens from threats at its borders and within. Alongside reaffirming commitments to Ukraine and EU defence, we ensured this year's Common Security and Defence Policy report stresses that security must be addressed holistically—external, internal, social, and economic—defence funding must not compete with social cohesion investments, and the financial burden, which should also be addressed by joint borrowing, must be fairly shared

The EU must stand strong in defending its values and goals on the world stage. This year’s Common Foreign and Security Policy report stresses the need for a more powerful EU to tackle challenges like the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, conflicts in the Middle East, and rising global competition. To achieve this strength, member states must increase their defense spending and provide more military help to Ukraine.

Brave people of #Ukraine, President @ZelenskyyUa! For 3 years, Russia has tried to extinguish the flame of your freedom, but it burns brighter than ever. Estonia stands firmly by your side, until this flame leads you to peace & your rightful place in the EU & NATO. #СлаваУкраїні

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power.

We’re ensuring Moldova can receive EU Growth Facility funds as quickly as possible & we ask to raise pre-financing and grants. Moldova deserves full EU support in countering 🇷🇺 interference, ensuring energy security & economic growth & continuing EU accession-related reforms.

"We used to joke, 'A hundred men eat breakfast, seven men eat dinner.' That's pretty much how it was." - a Russian assaultman, who signed a contract with the Russian defense ministry, shared his experience. He spent five days on the contact line, although, as he said, soldiers usually do not live there for a day. Every 10 minutes, a new group is sent just to be killed at the same spot. Even the seriously wounded are not spared, and in the end, everything is strewn with corpses. Many soldiers dream of being captured simply to survive, but it's not all that easy, as they are constantly being watched by drones. This "hero" managed to desert, and now he is in hiding and regrets that he "sold his soul to the Ministry of Defense."

Today, Putin admits that Russian economy is in trouble, the losses are not sustainable, but he won't negotiate with Zelensky, only with Trump. Why? Zelensky won't surrender Ukraine, he hopes Trump might Here is what he says and what he means: 1/
