During military exercises in Sweden, Ukrainian drone pilots (teaching NATO allies how to win at drone warfare) "killed" the Western troops. Pilot: “They stopped the training 3 times” to work out what to do better, but in real life they would've been dead. apnews.com/article/russ...

This is what Russia’s hybrid war against Europe looks like. MAP👇 191 incidents of sabotage, arson, attempted assassination & kidnap, one killing, cyberattacks & influence ops - all blamed on Russia by Western officials since 2022 & tracked by @apnews.com apnews.com/article/russ...

I’ve spent months painstakingly tracking Russian sabotage and drone strikes on Ukraine but nothing I’ve done has garnered quite the same response as a Greenlandic sled dog pinching a camera - and hitting record - while we were filming for @apnews.com in Greenland’s Arctic.

Danish PM Mette Frederiksen has arrived in Greenland after a pretty rough week. She got off the plane and was met by Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: the two greeted each other with a big hug. There’s been no word from either of them yet about what Trump’s “framework” for Greenland looks like.

Trump says he needs Greenland to deter Russia and China but Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat says the only countries his behaviour benefits are those two.

Spoke to a senior military official who said the European decision to send small numbers of troops to Greenland may have given the impression that an “Armada” of ships was sailing there, when the reality was that European nations said they would send not more than a few dozen troops collectively.

Met a 9-year-old girl at today’s protest in Nuuk, Greenland who told me she is being taught about NATO at school and about how to stand up to bullies. Another Greenlander suggested the threat from Trump’s tariffs is an existential threat to the international order that we’ve lived by since 1945.

Tillie Martinussen, former Greenland MP at protest in Nuuk told @apnews.com "A tariff of 25% is nothing against the free world…that's the way you have to look at it…This is a fight for freedom. It's for NATO, it's for everything the Western Hemisphere has been fighting for since World War II.”

Greenlanders told @apnews.com they view Denmark & other allies decision to boost military in Greenland as “protection” even though Euro military officials haven’t said the goal is to deter a US move against the island. People say they are scared & want Trump to back off. apnews.com/article/gree...

Finland turned on the beauty for @apnews.com interview with President Alexander Stubb. Stubb’s jacket references “sisu” - the Finnish concept of resilience and grit which the Finns displayed when fighting two wars with Russia. Stubb is trying to make “sisu” the new “sauna.” youtu.be/djjsEo8D5WU

Aside from the very serious security implications, the reporting from the Atlantic appears to show senior US officials dismiss alliances with Europe, instead seeking to extract economic gain from the relationship. Two reasons for European officials to be worried. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Today Hungarian PM Viktor Orban in Tbilisi said nobody “dares to question the election was free or democratic.” Tens of thousands of Georgians took to the streets last night to protest against what some dub a “Russian” authoritarian government & against election they said was “rigged.”

Bidzina Ivanishvili, the head of Georgia’s ruling party is accused of cosying up to Moscow & undermining Georgia’s EU ambitions. He voted under heavy security & didn’t answer when I asked if he wants an alliance with Russia. He said the election is a choice between his party or foreign “agents.”
