Troubling message from Zelenskyy after a new Russian attack on Kyiv: "Unfortunately, we received no early warning from our partners about this strike. Intelligence on Russian ballistic missile launches helps save lives, and this is one of the most critical issues."

Lithuania strongly condemns Russia’s latest attacks on Ukraine, including the strike in Zaporizhzhia. Deliberate attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure are war crimes. We firmly #StandWithUkraine and support its sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity. 🇺🇦

Today's two Russian attacks on vessels just outside Bulgarian territorial waters and following last week's attack near Romanian TTW mark a dangerous Russian escalation track that may lead to direct involvement of the two countries & NATO. This may well be the Russian game plan to test this.

In 1987 Trump visited Moscow. Since then, "He has changed his mind about abortion and crypto, he has supported different political parties, but his dislike of America’s democratic allies and his preference for Russia have remained remarkably consistent."

Trump’s Message to Ukraine Is Now Crystal Clear
The president’s actions over the past 72 hours look like an effort to force Kyiv to surrender.

Putin has not funded disruption and chaos across Europe and the UK solely to weaken his enemies. He also knows that disruption and chaos favour the far right. And the far right loves Putin. It will abandon Ukraine and build him a highway into Europe.
