According to Reuters, U.S. intelligence warns that Putin aims to capture all of Ukraine and reclaim parts of Europe once in the Soviet sphere.
No kidding. Putin wrote it all down in an essay in 2021, which defines his view of where “historic lands” are.

The fact that pro-Russians on this platform are thanking @deweverbart.bsky.social and Meloni for blocking the transfer of Russian assets says everything about whose interests they were protecting

Far right are everywhere the same: better kill the liberal democratic order than fight against Putin's muscovy.
All you need to know about Nawrocki is that he will happily have a known Russian asset campaign for him, making him a useful idiot for Russia.
Pathetic, dangerous, and traitorous behavior that goes against Poland’s interests

I’ve seen many things in my life, but I’ve never seen a successful full-scale invasion that only manages to take 20% of a country in four years, without capturing any regional capital, and while controlling less land after four years than it did one month into the invasion

Must-read piece by Jeff Mankoff, on the enduring fragility of the Russian political & economic system. It’s vital for European security that W leaders support Ukraine enough to exacerbate & then exploit Russia’s weaknesses, & aren’t deceived by RU propaganda into thinking RU victory is inevitable.
An important piece of analysis about the damage that #Russia's war against #Ukraine is doing to Russia - the section about the lessons of past Russian imperial wars matches the conclusions that MA students taking my Russia at war since 1812 drew in our final seminar.
History doesn’t repeat, but Russia’s imperial wars keep rhyming.

Zelenskyy: Some partners are delaying the delivery of air defense missiles to Ukraine.
In particular, this is because intimidation from Russia and provocations in Europe have had an effect on Europeans.

We’re letting Ukraine down every single day. A pedophile and a psychopath are holding Europe to ransom. Neither is very smart. And yet they’re eating everyone’s lunch. The coalition needs to grow a pair and stop the carnage. Get off the damn fence before all of our future is decided for us.

In 2025, Russia has been framing the EU and Ukrainian leadership as "warmongers", who don't want to stop the war in Ukraine. This, of course, is an outright lie. In reality, it's the Kremlin who has rejected at least seven peace proposals in 2025 alone.

Ukraine just struck an empty oil tanker in the Mediterranean, operating under Omani flag, on its way to Russia. Luckily, it was empty.
If this continues, who would want to lease an oil tanker to Russia?

Interesting point of view about EU and financing Ukraine. Different from mine (but I'm a pessimist).
The EU never gets praise even when it acts. There is so much constant EU negging that commentators struggle to praise when it delivers. The EU did what it needed to do. Take the win.
