The war will not end when Ukraine is liberated, it will end when Russia is defeated.

Ukraine is winning the war. That's the story.

Putin has aged a lot.

The U.S. had to step in and pressure Ukraine so that little Ruasia can hold its pathetic parade. Great power Russia cannot secure even the absolute center of its fascist empire. How embarrassing. How weak.

I like this photo. I think Ukraine and Belarus will be extremely tight going forward. It's such a natural alliance and Belarus will benefit a lot from the diplomatic, political and security protection that Ukraine can offer.

"Don't anger the old man." That was Ukraine's Belarus strategy—even after Lukashenka let Russian troops stage from his territory to attack Kyiv in 2022. Zelenskyy broke it in January, meeting Tsikhanouskaya for the first time. What has changed since then? 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/04/13/f...

Ukraine has deployed next-generation drones. They are AI-capable and can't be detected or jammed. They also operate at higher speed and has greater range.

Kick the U.S. out of NATO, close European bases for American troops, close the air space too. Now lets see who will come crying.

Why measure defense spending as a percentage of GDP if those percentages are spent on weapons that can be taken out by $200 drones? Shouldn't there be some efficiency measure included when defense spending is compared?

Ukraine has replaced the US as the security guarantor for Europe. Maybe time for ALL European countries to share the financial burden of defending our common freedom?

Positive: "With their motivation, innovative skills and sheer professionalism for hire, it is perhaps the Ukrainians who stand to gain the most from the current strife with Tehran." www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03...

My daughter is half Ukrainian and was born in Kyiv in March 2022. I like that she plays with Lego. If she becomes a housewife or not later in life will be up to her.

When analyzing the Russo-Ukrainian war we should also look at the trajectory. Look at Ukraine's capabilities now and compare with one, two, three, four years ago. Then twist it around and you can imagine the capabilities in one, two, three, four years. Ukraine is on its way to become a great power.

Ukraine had better think twice about helping the US in Iran. Trump will sell secrets and strategies to Putin in an instant.

This is just the beginning. Ukraine is just starting to build a heavy long-distance strike capacity. Ballistic missiles coming, the long range cruise missiles will be mass produced, the lighter long-distance drones will be improved. The tide has turned, Russia will pay, Ukraine will win.

Suspicions confirmed. Looks like the whole Ust-Luga complex is going up.

I get the feeling Russia is preparing a special domestic police operation to purge the country of anybody who has ever voiced even the smallest hesitation about Putin's greatness. As always in dictatorships the people is the most dangerous enemy.

Our mortal enemies. They want us to suffer, lose our freedom and become slaves to Russia: Trump, Orban, Netanyahu, and of course Putin himself.

Poland's president is pro-Russia.

Ukraine is becoming independent of U.S. support and meddling very fast, just as Europe will rid itself of its oil addiction equally fast.

With high oil prices we might finally be motivated enough to break the dependence on oil. We will of course continue to use oil but it wont be such a drama if there is a supply crisis. Oil producing countries will become less relevant, and the world will be safer and less corrupt as a result of it.

In Europe. How much time would most people really lose by using bikes, public transportation and trains instead of cars and planes? How much would companies lose from using trains instead of planes and trucks? We can manage an energy crisis if we want to.

Trump spit on all domestic and international resources he needs to get out of his mess in the Middle East.

Russian internet.

This might turn into "bye bye oil". If the prices stay high it might be the final blow to the oil economy. It's not that oil will disappear but it might lose it's central role to the economy. Oil prices will eventually go down never to go up again. Oil producers will lose their power.

So Trump is actively supporting a government that is participating in killing American servicemen. Isn't there any law in the U.S. against assisting the enemy during a war?

🇩🇪🇮🇷 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said that Iran is the center of international terrorism and that this center must be destroyed. But Iran would not have become such a center and would not have helped Russia, which Merz mentions, if not for Russian support, assistance and financing.

Ukraine coming to rescue the U.S. in the Gulf is great for the Ukrainian arms industry. Lots of focus on military assistance but investments in Ukrainian companies are extremely valuable too. Will help scale new innovations.

Hungary is a bank robber state. But hey, let's be quiet about it not to disturb the rigged election coming up.

I just read five analysis from five smart analysts who I typically trust and admire. They all have their own prognosis for the Iran war, and they are all rather far from each other. The world is really FUBR.

Russia will only gain from rising oil prices if it actually manage to export oil. Ukraine should continue cutting the pipelines to pieces. No sale, no income.
