War in Ukraine

‼️ Macron made some statements:

— If Putin is not stopped, he will not stop himself. Moldova could be next, and then Romania.

— Russia is an over-armed and aggressive state that operates on our borders. It carries out terrorist acts, large-scale disinformation campaigns both in Europe and in France. The stakes are high — our security is at stake.

— If anyone is waging World War III, it is Putin. It was he who started the aggression three years ago.

— The Kremlin has deployed 10,000 North Korean troops to Europe. It is begging Iran for drones, helping to develop its nuclear program, in order to then unleash war on the European continent.

— Next Thursday, the EU will hold a meeting to discuss the creation of a European defense architecture. We are talking about financing in the amount of hundreds of billions of euros, potentially up to 700 billion.

Senator Cory Booker supports Ukrainian President Zelensky.

“Before them stood a weary warrior. A man under siege, who had lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and unlawful aggression of an authoritarian leader. They showed no magnanimity, no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles, failing to respect the history and legacy of the nation they lead.”

“We are at our best when we stand firmly against evil—not when we bow to those who create it. We speak our truth when we defend the weak—not just when we are paid to do so. We are America when our leaders call dictators what they are—dictators—and those fighting to defend democracy from tyranny what they truly are: heroes.”

“Donald Trump and J.D. Vance did not show strength today—they showed weakness. They diminished a giant and revealed how small they truly are… Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia’s Putin than the President of America.”

Zelenskyy to Trump: 'I think together we can stop Putin'

You said that it's time to end the war. I think it's very important to say those words to Putin from the beginning... And I hope that together we can stop him. But it is crucial for us to save our country, our values, our freedom, our democracy. And, of course, no compromises with the killer outside our territories,”
Zelenskyy said, addressing Trump.

Trump, J.D. Vance, and Zelenskyy began to argue during a meeting in the Oval Office.

“You don't have the right to dictate to us what we're going to feel. We're on the brink of World War III, but you don't respect the United States,”
Trump told Zelenskyy.

“You have no right to tell us what to do,”
Zelenskyy said.

J.D. Vance started talking about the lack of men in Ukraine. Zelenskyy replied that he should come to Ukraine and check it out.

“You should be grateful. You have no cards in your hands,”
Vance said.

I did not come here to play cards,
Zelenskyy

"They will attack"

Russia and Belarus will hold their first joint military exercises in the "Zapad" format since the start of the invasion of Ukraine in mid-September.

Zapad 2021 had mainly alerted the American intelligence services because of its duration, its scope and its intensity. Dozens of planes and helicopters had participated, but also hundreds of tanks and cannons.
An extraordinary mobilization that had been rightly interpreted as preparations for the invasion of Ukraine.

For Volodymyr Zelensky, it is history that risks repeating itself. “ Russia is preparing 15 divisions. About 100,000 to 150,000 soldiers are being trained to escalate the situation in the Belarusian direction"

A risk shared by several European intelligence services that have warned in recent months that Russia could launch a full-scale war against Europe within five years if Moscow “ perceives NATO or Europe as militarily weakened or politically divided .”

Where will the Baltic states source their electricity from now on? The power system has been integrated with European energy networks through connections with Finland, Sweden, and Poland. What implications does this development hold for the Baltic states? The severance of electricity ties has been welcomed by the European Commission and the Baltic states. Lithuania's Energy Minister, Zygimantas Vaiciunas, stated, 'The Baltic energy system is finally in our hands, we are in full control.' Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda described it as a 'historic moment, marking the end of a long journey for Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia.' He added, 'From now on, we have achieved full energy independence. The period of political pressure and blackmail is finally over.' The EU has also applauded the Baltic states' integration into its electric grid. EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, noted, 'Russia can no longer use energy as a tool of blackmail.' What implications does this development hold for Russia? The decoupling means that Russia's Kaliningrad exclave, situated between Lithuania, Poland, and the Baltic Sea, is now disconnected from Russia's main grid and must maintain its power system independently. The Kremlin has assured that it has taken necessary measures to ensure uninterrupted operation of its electricity system, including the construction of gas-fired power plants in Kaliningrad.
