Russian soldiers are taking pictures near Boeing MH17 they downed with anti air missile from Buk they brought to Ukraine from Russia. It happened exactly 11 years ago. Russia killed 298 innocent foreigners. As Ukrainian, I will never forgive this.

Honestly, we in Europe are lucky to have Denmark and all the Nordic-Baltic countries. Solidarity in actions, not words or statements. 💙💛

I would like to add that the Nordic-Baltic support for Ukraine has become a mutually beneficial partnership, with lots to learn from Ukraine.

Dear Russians, this is not a terrorist attack. This is war. Ukraine targeted your strategic bombers, not your homes. Your own armed forces are, on the other hand, constantly terrorising Ukrainian civilians.

Am not suggesting (b) - yet- (a) should be done, but Europe’s combined air power could (a) defend against all aerial threats / strikes by Russia and (b) obliterate Russia’s air and long-range strike capabilities. If we wanted to. It would not existentially threaten Russia, no matter what they’d say

I’m a simple man with simple principles. To reiterate
A poster showing the Goddess of Victory in panoply of war, standing atop a mound of tattered, discarded flags of totalitarian states, including Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and the Soviet Union. She is dressed in blue and holds a large flag of the European Union; on her shield is the compass rose emblem of NATO. Behind her, the sun rises over a view of land and sea. The sun is surrounded by fighter jets used by European countries; on the land one can discern shapes of armored vehicles. A text at the bottom reads “DEMOCRACY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.”

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.

The U.S. has asked for Eggsistance from Finland. Don’t know how humanitarian aid would directly benefit Finland, so that’s out, but we should be ready to do a deal. In exchange for a few million eggs I think 5% of future gas and oil profits, in perpetuity, seems fair. They don’t have the cards.

We have no more time for words. Europe needs plans. Here’s one: Even 100 European jets protecting the skies over western Ukraine would have greater impact than deploying 10,000 European ground troops, with less cost and less risk to personnel’s lives. Europe can make this happen.
