Trying to figure out how Russia captured the White House faster than the Donbas

Trump is obsessed with Putin and Xi Jinping because he loves dictators who can do whatever they like. No transparency. No accountability. They can silence the press, jail their critics and answer to nobody. My latest with @anneapplebaum

J'ai demandé à Claude de m'aider à faire un rendu visuel des attaques menées par la Russie de Poutine contre l'Europe depuis 2014.
Après quelques itérations, ça donne ça.

Today, we express our special gratitude to Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, with whom we've done a lot of serious work during the full-scale war. The United Kingdom has always stood with Ukraine and continues to do so. And we value that immensely. Thank you, @Keir_Starmer. Thank you to your team and to all the people of the United Kingdom. I awarded Keir the Order of Freedom in recognition of his personal leadership and support for our people.
Prime Minister Starmer and I have had dozens of meetings, conversations, and decisions together. Today marks Keir's fourth visit to Ukraine as Prime Minister. Altogether, we've had 46 official meetings and calls alone – at least two every month. I am grateful for all the support provided to Ukraine during this time.
Today, Keir and I discussed the key issues regarding the front line, our long-range operations, and our mid-range strikes. Ukraine has achieved significant success in these areas, and we will continue applying every form of such pressure on Russia to bring this war to an end and achieve a dignified peace. We will, of course, continue coordinating closely with our British friends.

Our Russia Sanctions Bill is the product of lengthy & difficult bipartisan work, & now has broad support in the Senate & from the White House. As Ukraine turns the tide on the battlefield, our bill would be hugely impactful in stopping Russia’s murderous slaughter.

Honoured to receive the Order of Europe.
Ukraine's spirit is unique.
And best described by the word 'Nezlamnist'.
Unbreakable & indestructible.
Stoic & unshakeable.
It's the founding spirit of Europe.
Because Ukraine is Europe. xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1AGRnnVXe…

For the first time, Ukraine is developing its own ballistic missiles and deep-strike capabilities. These are not merely systems under development, but real capabilities that are already operational and reaching distances that were previously unattainable.
2,884 kilometers. That is the distance from here to the Omsk oil refinery. A historic range. Historic precision. And unlike Russia, which wages war against residential buildings, schools, and churches, Ukraine strikes the “sponsors” of Putin’s war and the tools that help him kill.
Some say that, with modern technology, we are sending Russia back to the Middle Ages. Others recall Napoleon and the days when Moscow was ablaze. But for Ukraine, it is not grand rhetoric that matters – it is the result. Our ultimate goal is not Russia without gasoline, but Ukraine without Russia. Ukraine without war. Ukraine with Europe. And Ukraine and Europe without the threat from Moscow.

It has been a great honor to serve the Ukrainian people as the Minister of Defense.
Here is what our team managed to achieve:
1. Disabled Starlink access for Russian forces.
2. Took over a Ministry of Defense with zero budget, took a risk, reallocated funds from payroll from the end of the year, and effectively invested them in mid-strike capabilities, fiber-optic FPVs, low-cost reconnaissance, ground robotic platforms, interceptor drones, and deep-strike drones.
3. Launched "Logistical Lockdown", this cut off enemy logistics and initiated the isolation of Crimea.
4. Continued the funding program for the Drone Line.
5. Launched a support program for modern drone-assault units that rely primarily on advanced technologies in combat.
6. Introduced a 70% advance payment policy for procurements made via e-Points on the Brave1 Market portal.
7. Fundamentally overhauled the procurement system.
8. Procured thousands of pickup trucks, buggies, and ATVs for the military for the first time—and did so through open tenders.
9. The drone interception rate rose from 83% to 91%, and the cruise missile interception rate soared from 47% to 87%.
10. Contracted Patriot PAC-2 GEM-T missiles for the first time, and submitted an application through an EU loan to purchase PAC-3 missiles.
11. Launched a baseline drone supply system for brigades and corps.
12. Launched a massive grant program for manufacturers of explosives and missiles.
13. Initiated an unpopular but vital transformation of the military.
14. Conducted three UDCG meetings, where we successfully broke through the Russian information trap claiming our defeat, restoring partners' faith in Ukraine. This secured $40 billion in support announced for this year (excluding the EU loan).
15. Launched the mechanism to utilize the EU loan for our military priorities.
16. Found a way to scale cheap missiles against jet-powered Shaheds and signed a record-breaking contract.
17. Our domestic ballistics. We radically revised the technical specifications, maximized accuracy, and reduced the cost by 30%.
18. Signed a contract to procure Gripen fighter jets.
19. Collaborated with the military to plan and execute Operation Auchan, which halted the enemy's mechanized offensive for six months.
20. Opened up exports under the Drone Deal program to attract investment and scale up domestic defense-industrial complex (OPK) production.
21. Launched the Trophy Lab, providing partners with the opportunity to study captured Russian military technologies.
22. Launched the Defense AI Center A1 to accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence on the battlefield.
Thank you to my entire team for their relentless 24/7 service. A special thank you to my family for their patience.
Thank you all for your support!
I will continue to work toward the mission I originally brought to the Ministry of Defense: defeating the enemy through asymmetry, the speed of innovation, and the power of organization.
To be continued.

Our warriors continue imposing long-range sanctions on Russian enterprises and facilities fueling the war.
An oil refinery was hit in Bashkortostan, approximately 1,300 kilometers from the front line. I thank the units of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Security Service of Ukraine for their accuracy. In the Krasnodar region, warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Security Service of Ukraine struck the Afipsky Oil Refinery, approximately 400 kilometers from the front line.
Mid-range strikes have also delivered results. In Gelendzhik, a patrol ship and a shadow fleet tanker were hit – effective work by the Ukrainian Navy, approximately 430 kilometers from the front line. Successful strikes were also carried out against three shadow fleet tankers in the Sea of Azov.
I thank all our warriors whose successful operations are bringing the war back to where it came from. This war must be brought to an end, and all reasonable diplomatic proposals are on the table.

France. Today, important talks will take place here that can open up significantly greater opportunities for Ukraine to strengthen its defenses.
Our top priority is anti-ballistic defense. We will present our Anti-Ballistic Program to our partners and, for the first time, hold a meeting at the level of leaders, national security advisors, and defense companies from countries that can make a concrete contribution to building a new anti-ballistic system. I will also meet with French President Emmanuel Macron and take part in the Coalition of the Willing meeting. We will work to give this format new momentum.
The First Lady is scheduled to meet with the new Director-General of UNESCO to discuss the further development of the strategic partnership and expanding cooperation between Ukraine and the Organization within UNESCO's mandate.
We will thank France for its historic support, and our service members will take part in the parade marking France's national holiday – Bastille Day.
We thank everyone who stands with Ukraine.

Boosting F-16 pilot training: Ukraine has received rare mobile simulators to prepare our crews without needing actual jets. These specialized units allow pilots to practice complex combat scenarios, enhancing our ability to shoot down Russian missiles and save lives.
This new delivery expands our training capacity, ensuring quality training at high intensity. We continue to build our Air Force according to NATO standards. Grateful to the Air Force Capability Coalition, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Austria, and the developers.

The Coalition of the Willing. I thank every leader who stands with Ukraine and our people today. Everyone who understands that Russian aggression can be stopped only through collective pressure. And everyone who is ready to affirm this unity not only in words, but also through real decisions and assistance. There is no alternative to peace. And peace must prevail – thanks to our joint support and actions.

🇪🇺 🇬🇧 Signed!
The agreement that paves the way for the UK to join our €90 billion Ukraine Support Loan.
This will give Ukraine access to a wider range of defence suppliers.
So they can get what they need on the battlefield.
Together, we are supporting Ukraine's brave resistance.

We’re sanctioning Russia at speed and scale.
Today’s measures, together with the upcoming 21st sanctions package, will add 250 individuals and entities to the Russia sanctions regime.
This is our biggest round of individual designations since Moscow’s 2022 full-scale invasion, and includes also the EU’s largest-ever cyber sanctions package.
The financial backbone of Russia’s war machine is the main target. Every measure weakens Moscow’s ability to wage war.

NEW: The recent, intensified Ukrainian strikes against Russian seaborne gasoline tankers in the Sea of Azov have reportedly forced Russia to close some maritime routes. ⬇️
Starboard Maritime Intelligence (@StarboardIntel) data indicates a possible 55 percent decline in vessels with active automatic identification system (AIS) transponders in the Sea of Azov between June 30 and July 11.
AIS data can be spoofed and jammed, leading to AIS signals appearing on land or outside their vessel’s actual operating path. The Starboard data shows a methodologically consistent count of AIS transponders actively reporting locations, spoofed or otherwise, in the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait and therefore does not represent the exact number of vessels in these areas.
Intensified Ukrainian strikes against seaborne vessels may have prompted Russian vessels to alter their behavior in the Sea of Azov in any of several ways consistent with the Starboard data and AIS signal anomalies.

Deeply saddened by the news of the passing of United States Senator Lindsey Graham. Lindsey was a true defender of freedom and the values that make our world safer.
He visited Ukraine ten times during the years of Russia's full-scale invasion and was here with our people when it was most needed. We remained in constant dialogue, and I will miss our conversations. We met twice in just the past week.
A staunch advocate for bipartisan and bicameral support for Ukraine, in recent weeks, he had been working on important initiatives that could help bring peace closer, including stronger sanctions against Russia. We will always be especially grateful for the recognition of our people and words of admiration for the courage of Ukraine’s defenders.
America and the world have lost a determined leader.
Our condolences go out to Lindsey’s family, loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.
