Merz: Russia's goal goes far beyond territorial gain in Ukraine. Russia fears democracy, open societies and the success of European integration.
Russia wants to undermine that success, and it is on the way to doing so. That threat is there every day. 2X

German Chancellor Merz: My biggest concern is Russia's underestimated impact on European societies. Russia is on the way to destabilise the entire political order of Europe.
Many people in Germany underestimate this threat, and the war in Ukraine is only part of it. 1/

These are not transfers from the US, but from other countries. The US is now actively sabotaging Ukrainian defense of civilians.
Breaking news: The Trump administration has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine that are needed to protect the country from Russian attacks, officials said, a delay that comes as President Trump has embraced Russia in recent weeks. wapo.st/4yCb7T7

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy.

Ukraine's Starshield terminals still don't work properly, President Zelensky confirms, disabling Ukrainian interceptors used to shoot down Russian jet-powered drones that have been hitting civilian targets in recent weeks.

Latest: βZelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."

Russia is reportedly planning to assassinate European defence bosses who supply Ukraine. I asked two former senior CSIS operatives if the same is likely to hold true in Canada.

Not even 10% of Germans support further aid to Ukraine. Or, to put it the other way around, 90% of Germans oppose the continued burning of German taxpayers' money in Ukraine.
Act accordingly.

Do something.
Twelve US senators have sent an open letter to Donald Trump demanding the cancellation of the diesel deal with the Russian Federation. The signatories include six Republicans and six Democrats. They called the agreement a "betrayal of US allies" and stated that it "will not only fail to achieve its goals, but will also bring no benefit to the American people."

Meloni: I do not miss the Russian tanks in Prague and Budapest. I do not miss the Berlin Wall.
If Ukraine stopped defending itself tomorrow, Russia would occupy a European nation and Soviet-style imperialism would return.
Surrender is not peace. It is conquest. 1/
