Ik sta achter de steun die Nederland levert aan Oekraïne.
Waar ik echt triest van word is het trollenleger dat loskomt bij berichten over steun aan Oekraïne.
Wat als het land waarin de trol woont wordt aangevallen, je kind, je vrouw wordt gedood willen ze niet geholpen worden?
Landed in the Netherlands with my team for a meeting with Prime Minister Rob Jetten. We are strengthening our partnership and working to provide greater protection for Ukraine. We will discuss defense and economic cooperation, strengthening Ukrainian air defense, and new steps to support Ukraine. A meeting with representatives of Ukrainian and Dutch businesses is also scheduled for today. I will also have an audience with King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands.
I am grateful that the Netherlands supports Ukraine and stands up for the protection of lives. We are working together to strengthen our shared security.

A good meeting with Prime Minister Rob Jetten @MinPres of the Netherlands. Thank you for the new military support package for Ukraine worth €500 million, which is being prepared right now – this fall. This is truly significant, especially when it comes to repelling Russian air attacks.
I also thank you for the announced €1.2 billion package of non-lethal support for Ukraine. It strengthens our resilience, and the funds will go toward energy support, infrastructure recovery, the social sector, and health care.
Rob and I discussed the situation in the diplomatic process in great detail. A lot is happening right now. In the context of preparations for the trilateral meeting planned in Abu Dhabi, we discussed what we can do together with our European partners to ensure that the position of all of us in Europe is really taken into account.
We are also working to see all political agreements followed by tangible economic results, creating economic growth and jobs in both Ukraine and the Netherlands. Thank you, Rob!

There are signs that the US plans to launch another major attack against Iran shortly after the US Midterm elections.
Despite this, Hegseth just fired the Pentagon's chief planner from the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Trump's cabinet continues to be a catastrophic farce.

Trump’s government beats and shoots ordinary working-class people but gives special protection to international criminals tied to money laundering and human trafficking.

⚡️️ Zelensky pushes back against Musk, says Ukraine uses Starshield only to defend its territory.
"When Elon Musk said that we use Starshield against the Russians — yes, against the Russians, but on our own territory. This is not offensive; it’s defensive," Zelensky told journalists at a press briefing.

Oekraïne verdedigt zich al jaren met alles wat het heeft tegen de Russische agressie. Niet alleen voor de eigen vrijheid en veiligheid, maar ook voor die van de rest van Europa.
Op het Catshuis in Den Haag ontving ik president @ZelenskyyUa, samen met de @DefensieMin Yeşilgöz-Zegerius en @ministerBZ Berendsen om te spreken over wat Oekraïne nu het hardst nodig heeft. Hierbij sloot @ministerBHOS Sjoerdsma vanuit Kiev digitaal aan.
Rusland voert de aanvallen op burgers en kritieke infrastructuur verder op, juist nu de winter nadert. Daarom breidt het kabinet de steun uit: met een militair wintersteunpakket met onder meer luchtverdediging en drones én met een meerjarig pakket voor energie, drinkwater en gezondheidszorg.
Ik roep alle bondgenoten op om ook hun verantwoordelijkheid te nemen. Want er is meer nodig, juist nu. Op Nederland kan Oekraïne blijven rekenen.

De veiligheid van Oekraïne is ook onze veiligheid. Juist nu Rusland de aanvallen opvoert, moet Europa laten zien dat Oekraïne op ons kan rekenen. Nederland blijft zich samen met onze partners inzetten voor de steun die Oekraïne nodig heeft.

Goed dat steeds meer landen zich vol achter premier Jetten scharen. Zijn boodschap aan president Trump is glashelder: blijf met je handen af van ons Internationaal Strafhof. Onbegrijpelijk dat er ook in Nederland nog steeds partijen zijn die de kant van Trump kiezen.

Genocide in Ukraine
The Russians and Americans are blocking the United Nations and the Red Cross from evacuating Oleshky residents to the city of Kherson. Russian occupation forces will be taking the hostages to a filtration camp (concentration camp) in Russia instead.
Jos G retweeted
This is exactly what I heard from a friend in Kherson last night. ❤️
People are making the most of this rare opportunity to do things that would normally be far too dangerous. Things most of us wouldn’t even think twice about.
Just imagine what it means when something as simple as going about your daily life suddenly feels like freedom.
And how heartbreaking it is that this is only temporary. 💔🇺🇦

Dude, Norway was a FOUNDING MEMBER of NATO in 1949. Finland joined in 2023 because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
And Norway doesn’t even HAVE a president. It’s a monarchy.
But sure, tell us more about what they “confessed” to Putin.
Presidents of Finland and Norway confessed to Russia that they regret being in NATO and think on the politics of neutrality known as finlandisation in previous ages.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Official statements show no such confession. Finland's President Stubb and Norway's PM Støre (no president) called Putin on Ukraine war end, reaffirming Ukraine support and de-escalation. Readouts omit any NATO regret or finlandisation.

❗️️️️️️️🏥 The bodies of the deceased, which have been lying in a hospital in #Oleshky for months, may be evacuated, reports Hromadske, citing sources.
According to the outlet, there are about 100 bodies in the medical facility's basement. Some have been there since winter.
The dead—to Ukraine, and
The living—to prison in Russia.
That was the plan. @FLOTUS ?

#Russian satellites helped #Iran's allies strike #SaudiArabia, — AP
Russian intelligence satellites collected data on targets in Saudi Arabia, which were then targeted by groups supported by Iran, writes the Associated Press. The agency cites the Geneva-based company #AURORAH Geosignal Intelligence, a source familiar with the Saudi investigations and one of the senior Houthi leaders.
AURORAH studied 40 missile and drone attacks by the Yemeni Houthis and Iraqi groups on Saudi Arabia from July 1 to October 19. In all cases, according to the company, Russian military and government satellites were over the target areas several days before and after the attacks. "We found a 100 percent match," said AURORAH founder Nawaf Obeid.
Since July, 11 Russian satellites of the "Cosmos-2600" series have focused on three sections of the "East-West" oil pipeline, says Obeid. On the morning of September 10, drones from Iraq struck three pipeline pumping stations, and oil pumping was immediately interrupted. Saudi Arabia exports oil to the Red Sea through a 1,200 km long pipeline bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
A week later, the Houthis attacked the air base in Taif and damaged an Italian fighter. Before both strikes, the number of Russian satellites over the targets, according to AURORAH data, increased by 50%.
A source familiar with Saudi investigations told the AP that Russian satellites assisted in strikes on pumping stations. A high-ranking Houthi leader stated that Iranian advisors in Yemen provide the militants with data derived from Russian satellite intelligence to help guide strikes.
AURORAH acknowledges that it did not intercept the actual data transmission, but rather drew its conclusions based on satellite movements. From 2004 to 2016, Obeid served as an advisor to the Saudi authorities.

Please read my article on the political spectacle staged by the Kremlin in Oleshky.
Many thanks to @TheAtlantic and @anneapplebaum for their support of Ukraine and the Kherson region at this critical moment.
Get ready for the unfolding of a Russian propaganda operation, carried out with the aid of the White House, in the battered town of Oleshky. From @ZarinaZabrisky, who has been reporting from Kherson, just across the river, since 2023

Nog altijd geven we veel te weinig aan Zelensky voor het verdedigen van onze vrijheid.
Ondanks het feit dat zijn helden de bezetters door de gehaktmolen halen alsof het een abattoir is.
Ook Oekraïners laten het leven bij het verdedigen van hun eigen én onze vrijheid. En dan met name burgers. Kinderen in ziekenhuizen, mensen die boodschappen doen. Een moeder die met haar kind in een speeltuintje speelt…
Die miljarden zijn een schijntje om te voorkomen dat wij in de schoenen komen te staan van de Oekraïners.
Mensenlevens zijn niet in geld uit te drukken.
