Kasparov: Trump fits the psychotype of a dictator. Russia’s agents, “all over Ukraine,” failed to prevent the container drone strike.
This war isn’t just Putin’s — it’s Russia’s.
Russia knows it can’t win militarily, so it targets civilians.
West, must admit we are guilty 0/
Kasparov: putin believed he had spies all over Ukraine, yet his own intelligence agencies didn’t even know Ukraine was planning the attack on airfields.
At that level, Ukraine had already shaken off its influence—nothing leaked. 1/
Kasparov: Trump has a psychotype of a dictator — he lacks a sense of right and wrong.
Merz clearly highlighted the gap between Trump’s values and those of the free world. 2/
Kasparov: This isn't just putin's war—it's russia’s war.
Claims by Russian oppositionists in the EU Parliament that Russia is moving toward democracy are nonsense. We're witnessing a genocide carried out by Russian citizens. 3/
Kasparov: putin’s goal is to eliminate Ukraine. No one in russia bothers to hide it.
Since putin can’t achieve this militarily, his only leverage is terrorizing the civilian population. 4/
Kasparov: No tickets are being “sold” to russia of the better future.
This ticket must be paid for by repentance. We are responsible for russia's actions. 5X

Graham: If we sell out Ukraine, Taiwan is next. If we secure guarantees that prevent a third invasion, NATO becomes bigger and stronger, and Ukraine remains free and independent.
How this war ends will shape the world for decades. 1/
Graham: I want to give Ukraine Tomahawks to hit the infrastructure Russia uses to build drones and weapons.
Change the military equation. And pass our bipartisan bill to give Trump tools to pressure countries propping up this killing machine. 2X
Graham: The “world order” you want to preserve failed. Putin invaded three times. Nothing Europe did deterred him. Nothing we did deterred him.
This is a war driven by a guy who believes Ukraine should not exist and will keep going until someone stops him. 1/
Graham: Sanctions alone have not changed Putin’s behavior. He does not care how many of his people die.
His customers must care. Without China, Brazil and India buying Russian oil, he would be out of business. 2/
Graham: If you want a normal relationship with the United States, act normal.
It is not normal to buy cheap oil from Venezuela, Iran and Russia and call yourself a responsible global citizen. China is Russia’s biggest purchaser. 3X
Zelenskyy: Putin doesn't live like ordinary people. He cannot imagine life without power. He consults Tsar Peter and Empress Catherine. He is a slave to war.
He won't let Ukraine or other European nations go. If he lives another 10 years, war can return. 1/
Zelenskyy: Putin hopes to repeat Munich 1938. It is an illusion to believe this war can be ended by dividing Ukraine, just as sacrificing Czechoslovakia didn't save Europe.
The price of a deal must not be another moment when the civilized world shifts responsibility. 2/
Zelenskyy: Ukrainians are holding the European front. Behind us stand independent Poland and the free Baltic States. There can be a sovereign Moldova and a Romania without dictatorship.
Even one Victor is growing his belly, not his army, to stop Russian tanks in Budapest. 3/
Sweden plans $5 billion aid to Ukraine in 2026. Over $12 billion pledged since 2022.
FM Maria Malmer Stenergard: "Ukraine is not only fighting for its own freedom, but also for ours. We also see Russia as a threat. This is why it is our obligation to help." — United24. 1/
Stenergard: "Me and my Finnish colleague Elina Valtonen proposed full maritime ban on Shadow Fleet. Stop imports of russian fertilizers and luxury products. It's a disgrace russians can still buy European wines and clothes. We need to hit the war economy." 2/
Sweden moved from supplying stockpiled weapons to production and now supports Ukrainian production.
Stenergard: "Ukraine became so good at production, invention, and development. It's something we could also learn from. This is also an investment in our military." 3/
Chinese FM Wang Yi on Ukraine: Europe should not be on the menu, but at the table.
The war is in Europe — Europeans have every right to be at the negotiating table.
Beijing supports Europe talking to Russia.
1/
Wang Yi: I do not believe that the situation in the Asia-Pacific is becoming increasingly tense.
In fact, Asia is probably the only region that maintains overall peace.
2/
Wang Yi: The Japanese PM said a Taiwan contingency could trigger collective self-defense. This is the first time in 80 years that a Japanese leader has made such remarks.
It violates China’s territorial sovereignty and Japan’s commitments to China.
Rubio: We want Europe to be strong. Our destinies are intertwined. The great wars of the last century proved that Europe’s fate is never irrelevant to America’s own.
The fundamental question is: what exactly are we defending? 1/
Rubio: For us Americans, our home may be in the Western Hemisphere. But we will always be a child of Europe.
Together, we rebuilt a shattered continent in the wake of two devastating world wars. The free West linked arms to defeat Soviet communism. 2/
Rubio: The UN has tremendous potential, yet on the most pressing matters it had no answers and played virtually no role.
It could not solve Gaza. It could not solve Ukraine. It took American leadership to free captives and bring adversaries to the table. 3/
