Dear Mr. Secretary:
Yes, but we Alllies are no match for the Ukrainian people.
We had the military means to totally defeat Russia and push it back, and—this must come first in our thoughts —to avoid the deaths of tens of thousands of Ukrainians.
We didn't.
The inconvenient truth.
Ukrainians have done what no one thought was possible: stood toe to toe with one of the biggest militaries, conceded no territory, and they pushed Russia’s navy back in the Black Sea and opened a corridor to allow them to export grain and other products to the world.

Humanity will never forget the hundreds of thousands of victims caused by Putin's regime and Russians.
No leader should ever write them off and dismiss them as if they were on the edge of history.
Just like those of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and the world's great criminals.

This, from

, must be relentlessly repeated.
Adding that the logical consequence of
#Ukraine
's victory — not a single Russian soldier remaining on Ukrainian soil — is the full defeat of Russia, its unability to attack Ukraine again, and the end of its yoke elsewhere.
"There is a difference between 'Ukraine must not loose' and 'Ukraine must win'. Quoting one of my favorite historians, Timothy Snyder, you never win wars if you don't set victory as a goal" souligne à raison

I feel the sound of defeatism in some minds. It's a well-known recipe of Russian propaganda.
I'm less worried about it affecting public opinion than certain governments' souls, which is the priority of said propaganda.
This is our war and we have to win it—by any possible means.

President
@ZelenskyyUa
is a (the) world leader who has an universalist idea of freedom and is committed to the security of his country and the free world.
He has made Ukraine gaining in legitimacy and honor day after day.
He is a strategic thinker.
In comparison, Bibi... Well...
💥Ukrainian President Zelensky has asked to pay a visit of solidarity to Israel, reports

I say it again in the most solemn way possible.
If any political leader were to undertake, any re-engagement with Putin's criminal regime, the seeking of concessions, the easing of sanctions and a return to business as usual, we would have to oppose it in the most determined way.

How are you
@PM_ViktorOrban
? Not too bothered by the smell of blood?
When you shake the hand of a criminal wanted by 124 polices, who murdered hundreds of thousands in Ukraine, Syria, Chechnya, Georgia, African countries, the spots on your hand can be indelible.

Intense emotion to see une Ukrainian athletes at the opening ceremony of the
#Paralympics
games.
They received a standing ovation.
Thoughts for the tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians & soldiers disabled for life by the Russians, not to mention the 487 athletes they murdered

The Allies must hear these urgent words from Pres
@ZelenskyyUa
.
We must strike Russian missile bases and aircraft in the sky that commit their crimes against Ukraine wherever they are.
It 's our duty to do so.
Let's not talk about peace until Russia has been brought to its knees.
Today, after a Russian bomb strike, part of Kharkiv was left without power, halting the metro and electric transport. Regrettably, twelve people were injured, and one person was killed. Kharkiv suffers daily from Russian terror.
Russian combat aviation must be destroyed wherever

This is the harshest, rawest, most direct post I've likely ever read.
I'm afraid, in reality, it's also the truest.
This night Ukrainians got a clear view of what we truly mean for the US.
We’re not allies, never have been.
We’re an inconvenience. An aberration in their view of geopolitics. A problem that just won’t solve itself.
We’ll keep resisting no matter what, but this really hurt.

The demand for freedom, justice & dignity will never stop.
Admiration for the Georgian people.
Let's be clear: Russia will keep the Georgian government under its thumb until it's defeated in 🇺🇦.
To win in Ukraine is also to win freedom in Georgia, Belarus, Syria and elsewhere.
Renewed demonstrations in Tbilisi against the Russian NGO law.

It bears repeating: the only way to put an end to Putin's eternal war is to defeat Russia radically, first in Ukraine, then elsewhere.
As long as this regime exists, there is no hope of peace. There can be no lasting peace through illusory containment, but through total rollback.
🎯 The Putin regime doesn’t need or want land. It needs and wants war. Only military defeat will change Russia's behavior. If it doesn’t happen in Ukraine, it will happen further west at far greater cost. Ukraine winning is the only way to save us from more war.

I'm afraid I've the answer to this question—and I've been pondering it for over a year now.
The reality is that most of the Allies, at first the US, don't want Ukraine to win, don't want to save lives and have agreed to sacrifice tens of thousands of them.
A guilt before history.
US, UK, French airforces shoot down Iranian missiles & drones targeting Israel. Without having to hit Iran.
Why don’t we shoot down Russian drones and missiles penetrating Ukraine’s sovereign territory?

Everyone should talk about the relentless crimes against humanity perpetrated by a terrorist state: russia.
it has stepped in its attacks on Ukraine and wants to erase the beautiful city of Avdiivka as it did in Mariupol, Bakhmut,...
High time to go all-out to defeat Moscow.
