Blocking severe sanctions, refusing supplies of key military equipment for UKR, accepting pro-Kremlin marches on German streets, and now preventing visits of German politicians to Kyiv: sadly, the list of complaints about Berlin's unsatisfactory stance on Russia is getting longer
Sad but fits the pattern so far. Not all in SPD support this of course but
“Chancellor Scholz apparently wants to prevent [🇩🇪coalition] politicians from traveling to Kyiv:

So there it is:
#Russia
MFA issuing an ultimatum to "the collective West". It demands nothing less than a unilateral disarmament from all Russia's neighbours, including members of
@NATO
,by providing legal guarantees of not deploying weapon systems threatening Russia. 1/n
Russian MFA has published a list of demands the West must meet in order to defuse tensions with Russia. Among others, it wants NATO to formally withdraw the 2008 Bucharest Summit decision that "Ukraine and Georgia will become members of NATO".

As a case of hypocrisy and brazen disinformation this is hard to beat - Russia, which has become under Putin a country engaging in neo-Nazi practices (at home and abroad), organizes an Anti-Fascist Congress in Moscow. Would be laughable if it was not despicable.

A textbook example of people who cling to the wrong analysis and defend wrong decisions for the sake of "consistency" (it was the same with NordStream2, alleged inability to meet 2% pledge on defence spending, or obsessive dialogue with Russia etc.). Grave consequences follow.👇
⚡️Merkel believes she made the right decision to block Ukraine's NATO membership in 2008.
Merkel’s press secretary said that in response to Zelensky’s criticism that Russia’s atrocities in Ukraine are the result of years-long concessions to Moscow.

Fair enough if confirmed. Austria's participation in any meetings in the
#NATO
partnership framework has been questioned recently anyway, as its links to Russia remain somewhat suspicious. Vienna has quite a bit to prove to its Western partners in the security policy domain.👇

Perhaps one still needs to repeat this fact frequently: Russian state representatives lie without blinking, without any hesitation, every day, for years. Whatever they say means very little or nothing. 👇

#Poland

#OTD

#Wielu

#Poland
was fighting for its life.

If confirmed, it sounds less like a plot twist, more as if somebody has lost the plot, especially regarding the potential supply of tanks to Ukraine. After all, land-lease was even offered to the mass murderer Stalin - because Nazi Germany had to be defeated. Short memories...

“Kyiv was preparing to retaliate against Polish fruit and vegetable exports.” One was hoping that Ukrainian government would reflect somewhat on the path it is taking in relations with Poland. This is a wrong and self- defeating path…👇
Ukraine plans to sue Poland, Hungary and Slovakia at the WTO over their refusal to drop a ban on Ukrainian agricultural products, Ukraine’s Trade Representative Taras Kachka told POLITICO.
