🔴 Ukraine's PM Svyrydenko showed the extent of the damage that Russian drone caused to the building of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.
She called on international partners to increase pressure on Russia and close the sky above Ukraine.
It’s been clear for a while now. Aggressive Russia does not want peace. It plays games, escalates its illegal war against #Ukraine, hits civilian targets. So what is needed? more military support🇺🇦, isolation, biting sanctions on RF&facilitators. Use frozen assets. #Time2ActNow
🇺🇦Вітаю вас з Днем Незалежності. Україна знає цінність свободи краще за будь-кого. Вдячний усім, хто підтримує 🇺🇦. 🇳🇱 стоять за Україною. Тому що безпека 🇺🇦 – це безпека Європи. А отже, і безпека 🇳🇱. Ми продовжуватимемо підтримувати 🇺🇦. Зараз і в майбутньому.
Слава Україні🇺🇦🇳🇱
Had the pleasure of visiting Poland’s new modern-art museum in the very centre of Warsaw. Head curator Szymon Maliborski guided me around and I really loved it. Go and make up your own mind.

#Japan's surrender on 15 Aug ‘45 marked the official end of #WW2 for the Kingdom of the #Netherlands. The scars remain, also in Asia. Today, we remember & honour the victims of this war from the former #Dutch_Indies - in NL & worldwide. www.government.nl/latest/weblo...
#Kyiv & #UA hit w/ 250 drones, 14 missiles. While 🇺🇦 is forced to negotiate an immediate ceasefire #Kremlin plays games. The agressor doesn’t seek peace.
👉Only int response 4 now: more military support to 🇺🇦, sanctions on RF&allies, full use of frozen assets.

Met with reps from Dep for Equal Treatment, 🇵🇱 KPRM, Kampania Przeciw Homofobii, Polskie Towarzystwo Prawa Antydyskryminacyjnego & Miłość nie wyklucza to discuss issue of civil partnerships. @NLinPoland continues 2 support
Łódź Film School gave the world famous directors as Polanski, Wajda, Rybczyński, Hoyte van Hoytema, Krzysztof Kieślowski. Had the pleasure to see the stairs where students did their famous high jump attempt. Well, that’s not my sport so I took a rest there. Great place, great city, Łódź 🇵🇱.
Participated as @NLinPoland in a panel session of #Defence24Days, a 🇵🇱 security conference organized annually in #Warsaw by @Defence24pl. Gave some thoughts on #transatlantic relations from a #Dutch perspective: strong, smart together. Thank you for having us. 🇵🇱🇳🇱
#ANZACDay2025 Warsaw. Nice day, impressive ceremony. In silence I remember the dawn service of #ANZAC2010 @ #KampHolland in #TK #Uruzgan 🇦🇫. Shoulder2shoulder with our Aussie colleagues. Perhaps the closest I ever got to feeling the essence of true #Australian #mateship.
Today @NLinPoland had the pleasure to attend 🇵🇱 MFA @sikorskiradek @PolandMFA present a speech on the Polish foreign policy in 2025 in the main hall of the Sejm, the democratic heart of Poland. 🇳🇱🇵🇱🇪🇺

BREAKING: The United States joined Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Eritrea, Mali, Nicaragua, Niger and Sudan in voting against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russian aggression against Ukraine.
The resolution, initiated by Luxembourg and Lithuania, was backed by 105 countries.
"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

With great sadness we say farewell to 🇵🇱 #Marian_Turski. Historian, journalist, advocate for Polish-Jewish reconciliation and dialogue, witness of history, #Holocaust survivor, one of the founders of #POLIN museum and friend of our Embassy @NLinPoland
#Maidan11years. We honor the memory of the #HeavenlyHundred 🇺🇦peaceful protesters who gave their lives for freedom&dignity. 🇪🇺 #RevolutionOfDignity Same day, Russian troops without insignia started the invasion of Crimea. #Crimea was, is & will be #Ukraine.
I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.
Belangrijk gesprek met President Zelensky.
Oekraïne heeft onze steun hard nodig voor langdurige vrede. Zowel militaire leveringen als robuuste veiligheidsgaranties.
Oekraïne blijft ongekend strijdbaar om de Russische agressie tegen te houden, ook voor ons. Diep respect! 🇳🇱🇺🇦
De conclusie na deze week is dat Europese landen in actie moeten komen.
Voor een plek aan tafel zullen we militaire kracht op de mat moeten leggen, gestut door een sterke economie.
Dat is cruciaal om na 80 jaar vrijheid Nederland, Europa én Oekraïne veilig te houden.
We willen vrede door kracht, geen oorlog door zwakte.
Wél duurzame vrede, géén slechte deal die meer Russische agressie uitlokt.
Daarvoor moeten we Oekraïne onverminderd steunen en tegelijk robuuste veiligheidsgaranties vormgeven.
Essentieel voor onze gezamenlijke veiligheid!
De realiteit is voorlopig dat Oekraïne elke dag een gigantisch zware oorlog vecht.
De realiteit is dat alleen vanuit een sterke positie Rusland tot concessies kan worden gedwongen.
Daarom kondigen we steeds nieuwe steun aan voor Oekraïne, zoals nu gepantserde rupsvoertuigen ⤵️
Good to see 🇳🇱2022 Human Rights Tulip winner @OReshetylova of the Media initiative for Human Rights become the 🇺🇦President’s Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of Ukrainian Service(wo)men & members of their families. @mihr_ua
It’s only an incidental remark, but @markgaleotti.bsky.social’s contrast between ‘justice’ and ‘pragmatism’ (read: appeasement) is illustrative of a troubling lack of self-reflection among many in the Russia watcher crowd. 1/
En dat hebben we nog steeds niet.
Kerstmis 2024
- Rusland bombardeert energiecentrales Oekraïne met als doel: burgers in de kou zetten
- Rusland schiet 'per ongeluk' passagiersvliegtuig neer
- Rusland saboteert stroomkabels Oostzee
Allemaal de schuld van de Navo natuurlijk.
Royal couple, Princess of Orange, Prime Minister & State Secretary take part in 80th Commemoration of the Liberation of German Nazi Camp Auschwitz-Birkenau on 27/01/25. The King invited representatives of the Dutch Jewish community to join the delegation.

Als je dit weekend iets leest over de Russische oorlog tegen Oekraine laat het dan dit interview met Bob Deen van Clingendael zijn. Alleen dekt de titel volgens mij niet geheel de lading….
