A Russian victory in Ukraine doesn’t end the war, it redraws the map and shifts the frontline to NATO’s doorstep. Moldova, the Baltics, even Poland become targets. Every kilometre Russia pushes West is one closer to NATO, and one step nearer to testing Article 5. Letting Russia…
The Russians have no intentions of stopping the war. Only language they understand is to hit them back and hit them hard.
Russia's pals in #China are using their massive AI arsenal to wage war against Western truth tellers. This is a real threat to the national security of the US, #NATO and the Free World. Instead of pursuing conspiracies about Epstein-Trump, Comey-Obama... America & the EU need to…
An interesting story from @christogrozev Chinese Deepseek AI twists his story and starts feeding him Russian propaganda, and not only gets it wrong, tries to manipulate him when challenged.
At the recent @NATOCanada event entitled "Reflections on Canada's Support for #Ukraine" featuring two outstanding speakers: National Defence minister (2023-2025) @BillBlair and Lieutenant-Colonel @MelanieLake, I had the honour to present our guests with the @PetersonLitFund…
Here's my report from Kyiv after last night's Russian attack. As one Ukrainian adviser put it Putin is "publicly humiliating" Donald Trump after their phone call yesterday. The US strategy of appeasing Russia doesn't work- & civilians are paying the price theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
What an irony. Following tonight's massive Russian air attack on Ukraine, we discovered in Kyiv a component of a Russian-Iranian "Shahed-136"/"Geran-2" combat drone, which was made in China and supplied just recently. And right on the eve, the Chinese Consulate General's…
New leaders and new attitudes are producing the statements that so many of Ukraine’s supporters have been saying for so long. But if it doesn’t translate to action soon, it will perpetuate the disgraceful failure to defend Europe against Russian aggression.
Our Ukrainian partners are not only defending their own country — they are also defending our security. President @ZelenskyyUa can continue to count on us and NATO. That we are significantly strengthening NATO today is also a strong and positive outcome for Ukraine.
The #PetersonLiteraryFund was a proud sponsor of this year's @NATOCanada security conference focusing on Ukraine. @LisaShymko, PLF chair & a Director of #NATOCanada introduced keynote speaker, author - journalist @dianefrancis1. Panelists included @general_ben, ambassador…
Today marks the day we commemorate the victims of Stalin’s illegal deportation of Crimean Tatars in 1944. We stand in solidarity with the Crimean Tatar community around the world as they continue to defend their identity, history, and homeland. #CrimeaIsUkraine
81 years ago, Stalin’s regime forced Crimean Tatars to leave their homes and forcibly deported them to Central Asia. Ukraine will never forget this crime, which was an attempt to destroy the indigenous people of Crimea, to deprive them of their ancestral land and historical…
all of their aircraft were leased from Europe, so they essentially stole their entire domestic fleet from foreign backers. Now they want to buy new ones, lol! Nope! No one can trust Russia. In the 90's no one was able to invest in Russia. Too much theft/corruption
An hour into Putin’s alleged Easter ceasefire, Russian forces continue shelling and other attacks all along the frontline, Ukrainian officials say.
I’m glad General George Washington didn’t say “let’s surrender because Great Britain is too powerful and defeating them is unlikely.” But, that is what some of our leaders are saying to Ukraine, the victim of a Russian invasion. Surrendering to a tyrant is not peace.
The Trump administration appears to be waging war on projects that share facts and truth about Ukraine in the world of literature. Moscow appears to be driving US foreign AND domestic policy. Is this how you make the US secure & #MakeAmericaGreatAgain ? Congress needs to fix…
Publishing literature in translation "doesn't align" with Trump's vision for America. So, Harvard's Ukrainian Research Institute has lost vital federal funding that would have allowed them to bring Ukrainian classics to English readers. Read my latest. kyivindependent.com/publishing-hou…
Shame on #WorldPressPhoto! This is unacceptable & outrageous! @yarotrof @_JakubJanda @lukeharding1968 @anneapplebaum @johnsweeneyroar #RussiaIsATerroristState
This year’s World Press Photo contest had 60,000 entries from 141 countries—but among its 42 winners were two Russian photographers, including one who called Russia’s occupation a “liberation.” We break down why this is troubling.🧵
What terrifies russia most is NATO calling their bluff. Show strength and they will fold. Time to defeat russia and end this war the right way.
