1/4 If Europe doesn’t want Trump and Putin deciding its future, its leaders must stop expecting anything from Trump. Be proactive—and treat any US support or pressure on russia as a welcome surprise, not part of the plan

Ben Shapiro:
“Over the past 20 years, the United States has walked away from the Kurds, the Afghans, and the people of Hong Kong — and now, perhaps, the people of Ukraine. That’s the game Vladimir Putin is playing.” you
🇨🇿✊ For the first time in its history, the Czech Republic has become completely independent of Russian oil supplies.
As Prime Minister Petr Fiala stated, this happened after increasing the capacity of the TAL and IKL oil pipelines (oil comes from the Italian port of Trieste).
Lowest iq and weakest president in US history
🤬 In the past two weeks, I haven’t seen a single public condemnation of these terrorist attacks by Trump administration.
Russia is playing a subtle diplomatic game — trying to weaken support for Ukraine, divide its allies, and wage an information war. And then… to launch a massive new offensive.
I’m getting massively attacked by russians with „bullying campaign“. Guess what triggered them? My Indian husband. Why? Because Russians are the biggest f*cкіng racist people in the world.
Yes, we are a Ukrainian-Indian family and I am proud of it. Fuск you, russians, go to heII and kiss my a$$🖕

🇳🇴🇺🇦 Norway Steps Up for Ukraine
Oslo is providing NOK 5 billion ($455 million) in 2025 to supply artillery ammunition for Ukraine’s defense.
Every shell matters. Every ally counts.
Thank you, Norway, for standing strong with Ukraine! 💙💛
"There will be no talks with Europe unless they pay us a lot of money on an annual basis," — Trump
I wonder why he doesn’t talk the same way with Russia. Rhetorical question — we all know the answer.
Hungary is the most corrupt and third poorest country in the EU but it has a racist pro-russia and pro-china government so Elon Musk loves it and spreads disinformation about it
Nothing going on here.
In Kryvyi Rih, 14 people are already known to have died, more than 50 are injured.
In Kryvyi Rih, there was a playground next to the place of impact, 6 children are known to have died.
ruzzia🤮 must be destroyed together with ordinary ruzzians!!
🤬🫡🐱🇺🇦
The world has to see this. We cannot stop turning a blind eye to this daily terror that Russia commits on the Ukrainian population. It is targeted and systematic attacks on civilians without any military purpose.
We pray for the survivors and mourn for those that have died today.
Call Congress for our libraries. Show up for our libraries. American library association.
ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities.

Here I offer six ways to actually light the beacon and step into the role history has chosen for us. Our response to the current uncertainty can be firm and long term. A thread.🧵1/17
Zelensky: No troop cuts, no recognition of occupied territories.
Ukraine will not agree to reduce its army or recognize Russian-occupied land in future peace talks. "Our priority is a strong military—no reductions, only modernization."

Trump just called Russian soldiers “great people” and wants to help them because they’re “losing 2,500 a day.”
Not Ukrainians. Not civilians. Russian soldiers.
In his latest trade move, Donald Trump imposed new tariffs on many countries — including Ukraine, which now faces a 10% import duty.
And Russia?
Not even on the list.
The message couldn’t be clearer — punish the victim, protect the aggressor.
Russian terror continues. A ballistic missile strike on Kryvyi Rih has killed four civilians, according to regional authorities. This is nothing but terrorism.
Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."
Trump isn’t genuinely committed to achieving peace in Ukraine. If he were, he would apply significant pressure on russia through sanctions or by providing military aid to Ukraine, as Keith Kellogg had planned. Without these actions, he is guaranteed to fail in securing peace
