Europe has stood by Ukraine since Russia started its war. And that is one of the reasons Russia has failed to achieve its goals. To end the war, we must pressure Russia, not Ukraine. Europe has the strength and influence to make a difference. My doorstep ahead of today’s European Council meeting↓

“Zelensky is overplaying his hand” a White House official reportedly told The Atlantic. Imo, Trump will find out soon that it is he who overplayed his hand. He's trying to help Putin, pressure Ukraine, and boost his midterm results, but he's likely to fail at all three…

Ukraine is completely magical. Sviatohirsk looks like something out of Lord of the rings. It’s a thousand years old and pre-dates Russia. Catherine the II tried to shut it down because russia has always been at war with Christianity.

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil. This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas. Are we going to tariff ourselves now?

Here are the faces of people whom russia murdered in their beds in Pryluky. Three babies, two older children. 17 adults. Is that what American taxpayers want to fund by procuring diesel from russia? Maybe Europe also stops remaining fuel purchases from the terrorist state? The world of hypocrisy.

The bodies of three children were recovered from the rubble of their home in Pryluky, destroyed by a russian missile. The death toll has now risen to nine. Another 38 people were injured. Is supporting these child murderers really worth those bloody rubles?

#NZpol Polling company Ipsos are peeved at National misrepresenting their results I can’t help noticing _even in their defence_, National plays their conflation fallacy, that the *number* of "new taxes" is an *amount* of tax, that *everyone* "will" pay (see 2/2).
