Zelensky: we killed 30-35 000 Russians in Kursk, Trump is a strong leader feared by Putin.

Russia can occupy any EU country, and so EU can’t survive without Ukraine army.
1/
Ukraine is not talking to Russia behind closed doors.

In the EU, some try to play both sides, being friendly with Russia or pretending to balance things.

For me, the union is important - union in support, in geopolitics, in weapons, in sanctions, in the EU, in NATO.

2/
Ukraine needs security guarantees before any talks. Not just for Ukrainians, but for everyone.

It's clear - Russia is the enemy, and they can occupy any European country if they want.

They have the power to do it. We need to stop Putin from making any more moves.

3/
Trump really wants to end the war. That's his message - both publicly and privately. He's a strong leader who can put real pressure on Russia.

Russia fears America, China, and a united Europe when it comes to military power.

4/
Europe without Ukraine's army can't fight Russia.

Russia’s army is bigger, stronger, and more experienced. Europe hasn’t seen real war in years.

Ukraine isn’t just a wall. It's holding the line of defense. If Ukraine falls, Europe’s next.

5/
Europe should ramp up production 2-3 times for themselves.

What they give to Ukraine is fine, but this is about tomorrow, not just Ukraine.

Europe needs to show Russia that Europe can produce more and is ready. This hits Putin where it hurts.

6/
The West is missing something very simple.

Russians will keep going, and that’s just the way it is.
This is the key to understanding everything else.

7/
If you knew Russia was going to push forward, why not fully support Ukraine?

Why not boost military production and sanction all Russian missiles?

These missiles can fly 1,000-2,000 miles -  they’ll hit Europe. It’ll be just like in Ukraine today.

8/
Slovakian politicians don’t really understand war.

It’s trendy to say we should befriend Russia and stop helping Ukraine.

Fico is playing with fire. He won’t get it until the war hits his doorstep. Evil must be punished.

9/
On Ukraine-Poland relations: We've had our ups and downs throughout history.

This war is the toughest challenge we've faced in a long time.

But today, our relationship is stronger than ever. I don't want to lose it.

My wife and I woke up in fear at 6 a.m. Loud explosions outside, and our bedroom lit up like it was noon. Ballistic missiles - we knew it immediately. We survived that instant, I thought, hugging my wife, but the next one could come in a second kill us /

Putin isn’t looking for peace. Just days before Trump’s inauguration, he makes it clear he’s ready to keep going, pushing Trump to hand him Ukraine. That won’t happen2/
The war will drag on, and the only way to end it is by making Ukraine strong enough that Russia can’t advance on the battlefield 3/

I told Euronews that Trump’s 24-hour peace plan was essentially a surrender. His new six-month timeline signals a shift toward pressuring Russia - still not ideal for Ukraine, but a major improvement. 1/
There are signs that this leverage is being built now, maybe in coordination between the Biden administrations “last-ditch” attempt to confiscate $300 billion Russian assets. 2/
It's signaling to Russia that we are going to try to find leverage over you. And if you want your money back, we're willing to haggle over it. 3/

Another good symptom for Ukraine

The news here is not that Europe is against seizing Russian assets, but that Biden and Trump teams coordinated the move 1/ Image
CNN: Senior Biden officials have consulted closely on the idea with President-elect Donald Trump’s national security team, including Sen. Marco Rubio, his secretary of state designee, and Rep. Mike Waltz, tapped for national security adviser. 2/
What’s the idea? Currently, the Russian assets are immobilized, but not confiscated. This means they can’t be moved or used by Russia, but they still belong to it.

The idea is to actually confiscate them and deposit in a separate account. 3/

Trump’s team now says a quick peace in Ukraine is impossible and this is good news. Why?

The U.S. has leverage over Ukraine but not Russia. So, a quick deal means meeting Russian demands and pressing Ukraine into accepting it. Bad for Ukraine, the world, and the U.S. 1/ Image
Russia is winning on the battlefield so it will seat and wait for the offer from Trump. It can afford to wait.

Any deal different from surrendering Ukraine requires time to strengthen Ukraine and find leverage over Russia 2/
The fact that the Trump team is now talking about patience for time is a telltale that Ukraine won’t be surrendered. 3/

Ukraine and Poland understand what Washington doesn’t: Poland is next.

In 2013, Crimea’s annexation seemed unthinkable; by 2022, a full-scale invasion was a reality.

Zelenskyy: Ukraine's independence is a fundamental condition for the security of Poland and Europe

1/
Tusk: I emphasize – Russia is heading for confrontation, this is not Europe's plan.
We are the target of aggression from Russia.
Tusk: All objective data shows: Europe is stronger than Russia in every aspect

If all NATO and EU members contributed as much as Poland does, they would have in 10x more than Russia.

Kennedy’s explosive analysis proves Russian economy is bankrupt. Craig exposes hidden defense debt and a credit bubble, aggravated by punitive interest rates and sanctions. It is not an economic fortress Russia but a house of cards. 1/ Image
Russia funds its war through a dual system: the official defense budget and a covert bank financing scheme. Putin narrative of economic resilience is unraveling as financial instability mounts. 2/
Off-budget financing through forced bank loans equals $210-250 billion, matching size of defense budget. 3/
