ZELENSKY: We don’t want NATO 'light or EU 'light'. We want full membership in EU. NATO and EU can truly benefit from having us as a strong partner. Our military is powerful, and no one needs Ukrainian military 'light' in these positions. This is beneficial for both sides.

With Hungarian elections on the horizon, EU leaders are finally recognizing that this is not simple veto politics, but a sustained strategy of undermining—and instrumentalizing—European integration in ways that benefit both Putin and Trump. Long overdue.

I'm seeing commentary that a formal commitment to keep Ukr out of NATO *no longer* satisfies Pu. What?? It never would've. There's plenty of evidence Ru always aimed to control or absorb Ukr and replace Europe's security architecture w an arrangement allowing Ru to reassert domination over EEurope.

On the weakness of state terror: once ppl internalize the regime's lawless brutality, that they are no safer in their homes than in the streets (& vice versa), and that their unwavering defiance is what confounds & disempowers the regime, they also realize they have nothing to lose but their fear.

A common hostile response to pointing out Ru isn't offering a settlement but demanding Ukr capitulation is to say Ukr should've taken the 2022 Istanbul "deal". Reminder: Ru demanded capitulation then too. "If Ukr had surrendered in 2022, Ru wouldn't be asking for surrender today" is a dumb retort
