I mean… this is a painful watch. Here we are, Brexit Britain, in our not-so-splendid isolation, being battered on trade, less secure, less reliable, less trusted… just so much less… Canada wants in and we still can’t admit what arrogant, clueless fools we were for throwing it all away.

A handy list of the many big and little things we have lost due to Brexit: verybrexitproblems.com/blogs/news/t...

SNYDER: You can't imagine Trump or Hegseth visiting Kyiv. It's not that it's not going to happen. It's just unimaginable. It's psychically impossible for them. They can't be in a world where people are actually taking real risks for real things. That would be too much for them.

Calling North Korea "unthreatening and respectful" when they send missiles, shells, and troops to kill Ukrainians is a special kind of lunacy.

5% of US Patriot stocks gets Ukraine through winter, 10% ends the ballistic threat — and Zelenskyy has just 1%, he tells CNN He says 5% of US stocks would get Ukraine through winter and 10% would end the threat euromaidanpress.com/2026/08/13/s...

Fool me once- shame on you. Fool me twice- shame on me.

My thoughts on “How should Prime Minister Burnham handle the EU?” labourlist.org/2026/07/how-...

Last night, Russia attacked a European capital with over 40 ballistic missiles. That leads nowhere in European news headlines this morning. Russian terror, murder and destruction are simply taken in stride as a normal story.

Nigel Farage vs "the establishment" He went to private school, worked as a stockbroker, has been a professional politician for 31 years, has his own TV show, is a brand ambassador for gold, is mates with POTUS, accepted a secret £5m gift, and owns five houses bought outright with cash What a rebel

Russia is on the back foot militarily, economically but also diplomatically. The dynamics of the war are shifting in Ukraine's favour. Today, we discussed our own European core security interests regarding Russia.

This cat spent 3 days trapped under the debris after a Russian strike on Kyiv on Sunday. She suffered severe burns but survived&crawled out as rescuers cleaned out that location from the debris Rescuers named her Artemis -for her strength&will to live.Vet doctors are taking care of her 📹:Kyiv ARG

You have to love Kyiv 💙💛 Dawn concerts are being staged on Volodymyrska Hill - yes, really, this happened at 5am.

Russian Kh-101 cruise missiles that struck Kyiv contained more than 100 Western-made components, FT reported. Ukrainian experts found the assessed missiles were built in Q2 2026 and carried chips from Texas Instruments, AMD, Kyocera AVX, Harting and Nexperia. #Ukraine

U.S. Army Secretary Driscoll: Ukraine's Delta common operating system, their modular open system architecture command and control system, is absolutely incredible. It fully integrates every single drone, sensor, and shooting platform into just one single network. Ours does not.

KALLAS: First, giving Russia right to appoint negotiator on our behalf would not be very wise. Second, Schröder has been high-level lobbyist for Russian state-owned companies, it’s clear why Putin wants him as negotiator. He would actually be sitting on both sides of the table.

“The central question is whether Russia’s prospects for the military success Putin needs to justify this war have considerably dimmed. The evidence suggests they have." A special assessment of whether Ukraine is turning the corner in the war. mickryan.substack.com/p/the-scales...

“I hope this is a shared view — that this 2026 campaign should be the concluding one. It’s time to bring [the ‘SMO’] to an end.” — Russian military expert Mikahil Khodoryonok

Aliyev says Azerbaijan supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity and proposes joint weapons production with Kyiv. Both sides see strong potential in defense/industrial cooperation and will continue backing each other’s sovereignty internationally. Rus channels are melting down over the statements.

​You know, it’s probably the thousandth time I’ve spent the night in the bathroom, sitting on the floor and listening to Russian missiles explode, shaking my entire house. ​I try to guess the direction, fearing it’s near my parents’ place or my friends’. I wonder if I should call them at

BROWDER: The oligarchs of Russia are such a bunch of craven cowards that they’re last people in the world who would ever show up to stop Putin. These people care only about their money, their own safety, and survival. They’ll do whatever they have to do to stay in Putin’s good graces.

Republican Representatives Don Bacon and Joe Wilson are working to push through a bill to the House floor to obligate President Trump to arm Ukraine with advanced US weapons. Veto-proof majority is 2/3 in both the House and the Senate.

Now it's official: the EU has approved the €90B loan to Ukraine. Many people deserve a good bottle of wine tonight.

Latvian FM Baiba Braže: Ukraine will continue to stand for its statehood and sovereignty. And again, let's remember: when in 2022 Putin started war, Ukraine wasn't threatening anyone, NATO wasn't threatening anyone. It was war of choice, not war of necessity.

ZELENSKYY: Trump says Putin is afraid of United States, and I completely agree. That means we can put real pressure on him. But if America chooses not to pressure Putin and instead engages only in soft diplomacy and gentle dialogue with Russia, then they will stop being afraid.

@anderspucknielsen.dk advocating for a sensible strategic policy. That everyone can be damn sure the Ukrainians will be up to fight the Russians makes them being part of our alliance so important for deterrence purposes. It's in all of Europe's interest.

Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar calls for the UK to rejoin the European Union: "I remember when I was a diplomat in Brussels... We were able to influence decisions. At the time, the Brits were also part of the EU. Let's hope they will rejoin."

Breaking: During a press conference Péter Magyar reports that the yet Foreign Minister of Hungary, Péter Szijjártó, and his team have started to shred evidence relating to their involvement with Russia in the offices of MFA. The final act of traitors. Close the Hungarian airspace.

Brexit meant Britain had to choose: - either be outside single market too, at great economic cost - or, like Norway, align with single market, attenuate the costs, but become a rule taker. Only EU members get economic benefit AND get to agree the rules www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

After 16 long years, Hungarians have finally taken their country out of Orbán’s grip. Huge congratulations 🇭🇺

Christian nationalism just lost in Hungary, even after being endorsed by Christian nationalism here in the United States. This is a great win for both Christianity and democracy. May we see this trend continue.

Given the huge early turnout in Hungary odds seem very high that Magyar wil defeat Orbán very decisively; the question in that case would be whether Orbán goes with the Ukrainian electoral interference lie he has been preparing and whether foreign actors support him.

The EU should enlarge to Canada (and Ukraine and the UK). It would be in the economic and strategic interests of all concerned.

Russian spy submarines covertly operated over UK undersea cables and pipelines north of Britain – cables that carry 90% of the country's internet traffic. The Royal Navy tracked and exposed the operation. UK Defence Secretary Healey warned Putin directly that such acts "will not be tolerated."

5/5. Orbán is down 23 points in the latest independent polling. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/o...

Extraordinary to see the UK PM putting Trump and Putin together like this, and referring to 'Trump' not 'President Trump'. A lot has changed in the last few weeks - this would have been unimaginable six months ago - and I don't see how it changes back. www.politico.eu/article/star...

Vance in Hungary: "I want to help as much as I possibly can the PM [Orbán] as he faces this election... A signal to everybody, particularly bureaucrats in Brussels who've done everything they can to hold down the people of Hungary". Falsely accusing others of interfering as he admits interfering.

Every European wants the war in Ukraine to end, but nobody wants to take the actual steps to end it more quickly. The solution is remarkably simple: Europe must fund massive amounts of Ukrainian strike drones and missiles to dismantle the Russian economy completely

Easter greetings from Ukrainian Defenders to all celebrating today We celebrate Easter. They glorify a cult of death. They bring death and call it faith. We fight for life - and celebrate it. They destroy churches. We kneel to pray underground. They steal. We share even our last possession.

⚡️'Far from innocent' — US senators seek answers after sanctioned Russian lawmakers visit Washington. "The delegation came onto U.S. soil for one purpose: to advance the Kremlin's strategic aims—including gathering additional useful intelligence," members of the Foreign Relations Committee wrote.

President Zelenskyy: Putin wants a long war. For him, a long war in Iran is a plus. In addition to higher energy prices, it means the depletion of U.S. reserves and air defense production capacity. Any war is a depletion of resources. 📹: BBC Politics

”Macron also mounted a strong defence of Nato, accusing Trump of undermining the transatlantic defence alliance through repeated remarks questioning the United States’s commitment to its continued membership.” What a time to be alive. France is now more pro-NATO than the US

In an online interview with the Kyiv Independent on March 30, Ivan Korcok, now a politician in Slovakia's strongest opposition party, accused the current government of "siding with Moscow."

President Zelenskyy: I think of them [Iran] as accomplices of Russia. "We went through difficult relations with Iran. We didn't do anything to them. They shot down our plane, killed our passengers and crew, didn’t admit it, and didn’t let experts in". 📹: BBC Politics

Kellogg: NATO needs to be redrawn.We're going to redraw the defense alignments we have,maybe create one with Japan&Australia&some of those European nations that are willing to go into the fight,like the new,re-engaged Germany or Poland,as well.Even Ukraine,which has proven to be a good ally as well

Russia has been attacking Ukraine for over 14 hours in one of its largest recent strikes: 500+ Shaheds, 9 ballistic missiles, and around 25 cruise missiles per PPO Radar. The drone assault continues as of this morning.

Kharkiv has faced three consecutive days of Russian drone attacks, with additional aerial bombs dropped on the city today. Russia continues targeting urban areas and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine 🇺🇦

Zelensky says Russia will target bridges, dams, hydropower plants, pumping stations and drinking water systems, and Ukraine needs to prepare.

A Russian drone striking a residential building in Obukhiv, Kyiv region. There are also reports that a Russian drone fell on the territory of a school in Kyiv region. One person was killed by the Russian attack.

Consider the opportunity costs of the war in Iran. The missiles might have been sent to Ukraine, to end that war. The money might have bought healthcare for Americans. The attention of Europe and Asia might have been focused on countering Russia and China, not re-opening the Strait of Hormuz
