russia is invading a European country, bombing civilians daily, launching drones into EU airspace, and waging hybrid war.
We ignore it because it’s painful. But denial won’t stop the war — it will spread it
2/7 Ukraine is Europe.
And russia’s war on Ukraine is a war on European sovereignty, security, and values.
This isn’t just Ukraine’s fight.
It’s Europe’s war — whether we admit it or not
3/7 russia already considers itself at war with the West.
It acts like it. We don’t.
That’s our biggest mistake.
11 years of escalation — from Crimea to full-scale invasion. Now even north korea is sending troops.
And we are still waiting
4/7 War isn’t just tanks and trenches.
It’s cyberattacks, disinformation, sabotage, economic blackmail, and political subversion.
russia is already waging all of these inside the EU, and conventional war in Europe.
We are in a war — we are just pretending we aren’t
5/7 If we keep pretending, the conventional war will spread.
The only way to stop it is to step up.
Europe must:
- Sustain financial aid to Ukraine
- Place large, long-term weapon orders for Ukraine
- Invest even more in Ukraine’s defense industry
- Tighten sanctions on russia
6/7 And yes — Europe should consider sending troops to Ukraine.
Not to fight, but to train, support logistics, and guard the western borders.
Even small deployments could free up Ukrainian troops for the front.
We can increase the number when russia escalates. That’s leverage
7/7 russia is all in.
Europe isn’t even 30% in.
We beat russia at everything — when we are serious.
Let’s stop waiting for the war to escalate.
Let’s stop surviving and start winning.
Europe must act — before it’s too late

1/11 The war is far from over, but Ukraine is still winning.
Here is how we can make sure that it defeats Russia 🧵
2/11 Russia’s 2022 invasion is a genocide.
They use genocidal rhetoric to justify erasing Ukraine's identity. They kidnap children and commit daily war crimes to punish civilians for simply refusing to be Russian.
This is a systematic attempt to destroy a nation
3/11 The human cost is massive.
In Mariupol, the death toll in 3 months potentially exceeded the total deaths in Gaza throughout the entire war, despite a much smaller population.
People underestimate this scale and don't see that Russia is committing genocide in Europe
