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.

China cannot accept this.

3/
Wang Yi to Japan: If you go back down that old road, it will be a dead end.

If you try gambling again, the loss will be faster and more devastating.

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

Blumenthal: Putin is a murderous thug. Stalin starved the Ukrainians. We know the history.

Putin is trying to freeze and murder them by bombarding them with missiles and drones. It is a crime against humanity and a time of moral clarity. 1/
Blumenthal: Europe has been at the forefront, at the tip of the spear. The coalition of the willing is stepping up resources.

The US must do more — increase industrial capacity, provide Tomahawks and Patriot interceptors, deliver sustained military aid. 2/
Blumenthal: If we show resolve, Putin’s economy cannot survive forever. He is counting on stalling and stonewalling, playing to the weakness of democracies.

Democracies are messy. We tolerate dissent. We do not lock up or silence critics. That is our strength. 3X

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. 1/
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. 2/
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 did not save Europe.

The price of a deal must not be another moment when the civilized world shifts responsibility. 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/ Image
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/
