We need to stop talking about "territory" & talk about people. People living in their homes, with their families & memories. People going to school, raising kids, having jobs, enjoying retirement. People who, under occupation, face torture, rape, murder, imprisonment, abduction, hunger. People.
POLITICO exclusive: What the US wants from Ukraine: Leave Donbas, one way or another. An official familiar with the negotiation process tells us.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

Properly funded education is the bedrock of all societies. Any examination of the ebbs and flows of social development would no doubt show the massive returns for such investment. The lag phase often blurs the association of these investments with their returns. Profligate regimes waste these unseen
Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

Repeating daily since Trump was inaugurated 🫠
Dear Europe, especially Germany,
Stop obsessing over what Trump will or won’t do. Hoping & praying America will step up so we don’t have to is dangerously stupid.
Step up yourself, destroy Russia’s war economy, & give Ukraine what they need to win.
Europe must defend Europe.

Myroslava voices Ukraine’s fear that the new US peace plan resembles capitulation. Despite fatigue and losses, the Counteroffensive team believes a just peace is possible only on Ukrainian terms.
