Unless Russia pays for its intentional and serial war crimes in Ukraine (and Chechnya, and Syria, etc.) the idea of just war and the power of the Geneva Conventions will lie in ruins, like countless Ukrainian hospitals, schools, shopping centers, and apartment blocks.

Dear @POTUS Stop whining! Most Americans really don’t like sore losers.

No mention of the fear of NATO expansion as Putin explores why he invaded and annexed Ukrainian territory.
Putin on Ukraine:
The lands lost by Kyiv are not "their territory"; they are historically Russian lands.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Kyiv predates Moscow by centuries, and southern/eastern Ukraine was ruled by the Cossack Hetmanate and Crimean Khanate long before 18th-century Russian Imperial annexation. In 1991, every Ukrainian region voted overwhelmingly for independence, recognized by Russia 1994.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…
All of this is true, and it’s time for Congress to step up and stop it.
The shifting explanations from Musk and the administration sound like Abbott and Costello’s “Who’s on First?” Except the consequences for Ukrainian civilians are deadly.
Musk says he didn’t do it. The administration says it didn’t either. Yet someone in the administration reportedly told Musk to undo it, and Ukraine reports only partial restoration.
Are we supposed to believe Hegseth and the Pentagon don’t know the status of a capability critical to U.S., Ukrainian and allied security?
Whoever is handing Putin the gift of a more vulnerable Ukraine should at least have the guts to put their name on it. Hiding behind denials while innocent people pay the price is cowardice.
Meanwhile, Putin keeps murdering civilians and trying to starve and freeze Ukraine into submission. Americans deserve answers. Ukrainians deserve the means to defend themselves.
It’s time to dispense with calling Russian attacks on NATO “hybrid war”. Russia is hitting targets with projectiles carrying explosive warheads in and on the borders of NATO states. Nothing hybrid about it.

🌐 Rebuild Ukraine Forum 2026 is officially underway in Bucharest!
Over the next two days, officials, experts, and business leaders will explore how security, investment, and regional cooperation can support Ukraine’s reconstruction and long-term recovery. 🇺🇦
As always, I was honored to appear on @The_Newsmakers and thank Andrea Sanke for the perceptive questions and for hosting a lively debate, which also included Ukrainian and Russian panelists. You can guess whom I agreed with.
US President Trump announced a deal with Russia’s Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel fuel amid soaring energy prices.
But with the deal expected to cover only a few weeks of US demand, what is Trump's long-term vision here?

Absolute savagery.
Today Russia killed two girls aged 1 and 11, and four adults, three of them young women, in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region.
The park was full of mothers walking with their kids on a sunny day. They know exactly who they are targeting.

The Administration’s decision to reduce intel sharing to Ukraine & access to Starlink equates to aiding the invader & the war criminal who bombs cities. Does the Administration think it will get ANY support for the remainder of the 119th Congress? Their agenda is dead unless they change paths.

Slepless night in Kyiv under barrage of missiles and drones. All three power stations came under attack. No power for hours. This is exactly what Russia thinks of any “deal”
The moral rot of the Trump administration’s approach to the war in Ukraine, which now includes verbal support of Putin’s aggression and attacks on Ukraine’s attempts to defend itself, is a permanent stain on America’s reputation.
Overnight, the Russians used 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 attack drones and loitering munitions against our energy and critical infrastructure in Kyiv, the Kyiv region, and Kharkiv. A targeted Russian ballistic missile strike specifically against energy infrastructure – the very infrastructure covered by the ceasefire announced by the American President. The strike was entirely deliberate and demonstrative in its scale – Russia has never before shown such ostentatious disrespect toward the United States. Russia does not consider the American President’s statements strong. Unfortunately, at least 600,000 people are now without power. Outages could become even more widespread. Unfortunately, there is significant damage to facilities and equipment – at 26 facilities of our power system and four facilities in the oil and gas sector. I am grateful to the repair crews, all Ukrainian energy workers, and the personnel of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine for all their efforts to address the aftermath of this Russian strike. Tragically, there have been fatalities and injuries.
We ask America and EVERYONE in the world who does not turn a blind eye to reality to respond – and to respond forcefully. Russia has squandered the opportunity for de-escalation and has clearly chosen to continue its insane war of annihilation. We ask President Trump to impose STRONG sanctions on Russia, especially since the Lindsey Graham bill, which was recently passed and signed into law, authorizes and regulates such measures. The American President has all the effective and necessary tools to bring peace closer through strength, justice, and pressure on the aggressor. We ask for additional packages of Patriot missile interceptors for Ukraine. It is entirely fair for us to tell the United States, Europe, and all our partners that no country in the world should be left alone to face such a deranged and pro-war actor as Russia. I am grateful to everyone who helps Ukraine! Peace can only come through strength, and we ask America to remember this principle of Reagan’s. Glory to Ukraine!

Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: Ukraine is being threatened with starlink removal and intel being cut off for literally fighting back and defending itself. For nearly
5 years the west has been trying to get Ukraine to hold back. Utterly pathetic.

When we started responding to Russia’s operation against our data centers, and when our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations.
Because there were fewer bots. And it’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from – if they disappeared when Yandex went offline. This proves, again and again, that Europe is not the source of the problems. Europe is not the one making everything more difficult.
Most importantly, we need people in America, every morning, when the day in Europe is already moving toward evening, to really see what is happening. To see the truth.

Ukraine should obliterate the Russian energy infrastructure. One cannot unilaterally stop fighting back when Putin keeps bombing Ukrainian cities and energy grid. The ceasefire was never respected by Putin.
We never communicate what we will do next in our operations. Last night, we did not attack any energy facilities on the territory of Russia because President Trump said that there would be an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. We did not attack, while Russia attacked our gas stations, energy infrastructure, and other facilities.
I think it was Putin’s answer to President Trump. And the message from Russia was very clear – they don't know anything about the energy ceasefire. It's a pity, because they always find reasons not to stop this war. Which is why I think we need more pressure on Russia.
