In Oekraïne zijn zeker 33 mensen om het leven gekomen, toen twee passagiersbussen werden geraakt door een Russische bom. Dat melden de Oekraïense autoriteiten. Achttien mensen raakten gewond.

I examine the reported attacks on three merchant ships in two days in the Black Sea economic zones of Bulgaria and Romania. Two Turkish-owned vessels were hit off Bulgaria, with one sinking and its crew missing; a Turkish-owned ship carrying Ukrainian corn reportedly sank off Romania after a drone strike, killing its captain and another crew member. I ask whether Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, or NATO will impose consequences—and whether silence invites the next attack. I also assess Romania’s call-up of roughly 10,000 reservists, the failure of threats to close Western embassies in Kyiv, and testimony from occupied Mariupol. Beyond the immediate crisis, I track Russia’s threats toward Armenia and Lithuania, Lithuania’s request for a permanent U.S. base, South Korean fuel shipments to Russia, and the Rasvet low-Earth-orbit network that could improve Russian battlefield communications from 2027. 00:00 Merchant Ships Hit off Bulgaria and Romania 02:26 Turkey, NATO, and the Question of Consequences 06:05 Finland, European Energy, and Canadian Politics 09:17 Ukraine: Embassies, Occupation, and Mariupol 13:29 Russia’s Threats and South Korea’s Fuel Shipments 15:27 Rasvet Satellites and Russia’s Future Battlefield Edge 17:28 Lithuania, U.S. Basing, and Pressure on Russia 19:48 Political Resolve and the Cost of Inaction #Ukraine #BlackSea #NATO #Turkey #RussiaUkraineWar #Bulgaria Here is the direct link to the Ukraine Support Bridge: https://ukrainesupportbridge.com/ ***** To support me as as I provide Ukraine war context: ***** Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ProfessorGerdesExplains Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/professorgerdes Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/professorgerdes YouTube Channel Membership: https://www.youtube.com/@Professor-Gerdes/membership 🇺🇸 Contact the White House to express your support for Ukraine https://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ *****IF YOU WISH TO PROVIDE DIRECT AID TO UKRAINE: ***** 🇺🇦 I have partnered with Greg Terry for all donations to Ukraine.

I watched this speech three times because it explains something the West still refuses to confront: Russia has found ways to wage war without forcing us to recognize that we are under attack. Strategic adviser Avi Shahar argues that expressions such as “hybrid warfare” and “below the Article 5 threshold” disguise what Russia is actually doing. The Kremlin manipulates political divisions, changes how we understand Western values, and simultaneously persuades parts of the left to reject patriotism while convincing parts of the right that Putin defends traditional values. I examine his argument, where I believe he is right, and why the Kremlin benefits every time Western leaders substitute carefully worded statements for meaningful consequences.
