This is disgraceful. Somebody seems to have convinced our prime minister that there is arbitration risk of a few hundreds of millions EUR from transport companies which sounds like lame excuse. I hope this cowardness gets resolved very soon.

Growing up next door to an aggressor, you don't take freedom for granted. As a young Latvian shares, Ukraine isn't just fighting for itself—it’s breaking a cycle of occupation so the next generation across Eastern Europe can finally live without looking over their shoulder.

The sheer scale of russia’s war in Ukraine has created a massive, permanent byproduct: hundreds of thousands of battle-hardened veterans. But as the frontlines grind on, a darker global trend is emerging, these men, and the infrastructure behind them, are becoming a permanent export. 🧵

For putin’s birthday, they killed Oleksandr, Kyrylo and Serhii, all aged one, and eight-year-old Maksym russians want to murder Ukrainians for daring to exist. For refusing to surrender their freedom, sovereignty, and country to moscow. Ukrainians don’t want to be murdered by russians.

LPV success is not due to “right/left”. It does not have an ideology beyond “we need to spend money in Latvia” as a way not to say “we want less money for defense of Latvia and no money for Ukraine because our owner is a ruzzian asset”. It resonates well with some ruzzian speaking population.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Trump has helped ruzzia more than putin was ever hoping. Invading Iran and resulting high oil prices provided critical boost in otherwise rapidly dwindling resources required to continue the war. This alone has cost many thousands of lost and crippled Ukrainian lives.

Russia is ”winning” so much that it holds less land today than in the spring of 2022 and hasn’t captured a single one of the 23 regional capital and special-status cities Ukraine controlled at the start. Leonid is just doing Kremlin PR for English speakers on X

The thing about “Russia experts” like Ragozin is that their analysis makes zero sense when you step back from the news cycle. They rapidly shift their tone, messaging, and underlying logic to whatever best amplifies Kremlin narratives to Western audiences at the edge of the current Overton window.

USSR-Germany partnership began 1921, with Lenin signing economic-industrial-military cooperation. Germany rebuilt the Luftwaffe in russia, breaking Treaty of Versailles, USSR built up its airforce. Technology shared for tanks, joint chemical weapon programs. 18yrs that led to Molotov-Ribbentrop. 🧵
