Babiš s Ficem chtějí evropské peníze, ale od pomoci Ukrajině dávají ruce pryč? Brát ano, přispět ne.
Pánové, Ukrajinci krvácejí i za naši bezpečnost. Vaše výmluvy jsou ostuda a hrají podle not Kremlu.

Šokující tiskovka s Babišem.
Fico: "Slovensko nikdy nepodpoří další půjčku Ukrajině. Merz mě nebude vydírat přes Ukrajinu. Je to zabíjení lidí, které někomu vyhovuje. Ať se Německo klidně pokaká."
Nehorázný, ten člověk doslova říká "m*dám na tebe, Ukrajino".
Strašně se stydím, že náš premiér stojí dva metry od něj... co premiér, celá naše vláda tam stojí. Se slzou v oku vzpomínám, jak se na ně Fialova vláda vys*ala a nemluvila s nimi, to byla pohoda.

Merz reagiert auf Kritik von Fico, der die deutsche Verknüpfung des EU-Haushalts mit der Zustimmung zum neuen Ukraine-Milliarden-Kredit „Erpressung“ nennt:
Die Ukraine-Unterstützung sei „eine gemeinsame europäische Aufgabe, keine Aufgabe einzelner Mitgliedsstaaten“, so Merz. „Deswegen gehört die Frage, wie wir die Ukraine in den nächsten Jahren notfalls finanzieren natürlich mit in den Kontext dieser Haushaltsverhandlungen.“
Er verstehe innenpolitische Befindlichkeiten in Ungarn und anderen Ländern, „aber ich habe umgekehrt um Verständnis geworben, dass der größte Beitragszahler in den Haushalt der Europäischen Union, und gleichzeitig das Land, das auch den größten Beitrag zur Unterstützung der Ukraine leistet, Wert darauflegt, dass wir diese grundsätzliche Frage miteinander klären.
Und das steht in den nächsten Tagen und möglicherweise auch in den nächsten Wochen dann eben auf der Tagesordnung.“

A good meeting with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen @Statsmin. There is a new €645 million defense package for Ukraine. It is primarily funding for the procurement of drones – attack drones and interceptors – ammunition for F-16s, and PURL. A very timely and substantial boost, just as Russia is carrying out its ballistic campaign against our energy infrastructure, water supply, heating, and everything that makes up normal life.
We also discussed additional humanitarian support. Today, ahead of the fourth anniversary of Kherson’s liberation from the Russians, Denmark has also made a decision to support our people in the Kherson region specifically. There is a €20 million energy package for the region. It is very important that Denmark focuses on direct support for our communities. A lot has been done in the Mykolaiv region thanks to these efforts. We are counting on them to continue. We also discussed the results of our work under the Drone Deal, the development of joint production, and work on the FREYJA anti-ballistic program.
I thank Mette, the Government, Parliament, and all the people of Denmark for their unwavering support, truly strong decisions, and leadership in protecting lives and values.

These are crucial weeks for Ukraine. It was good to meet Foreign Minister @andrii_sybiha at the G7 in Paris.
However peace talks unfold, Europe will have Ukraine’s back. Sanctions on Moscow stay in place and will be strengthened.
We should not fall for Russian narratives about their alleged security concerns. NATO is a defensive alliance and has never threatened Russia.
Respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity and the right to freely choose alliances are fundamental principles, not bargaining chips.

Polens Justizminister enthüllt soeben erste Details von der Sichtung des Computers des Attentäters von #Krakau: Im Browserverlauf wurden auffallend viele Seiten mit Bezug zu Anders Breivik entdeckt. Die These eines rechtsextrem konnotierten Tatmotivs werde damit wahrscheinlicher, sei aber nicht der einzige Blickwinkel, aus dem die Ermittlungen aktuell geführt werden.

As negotiations resume, I want to remind all my fellow journalists that there is no such thing as a "territorial issue," a "territorial dispute," or "fundamental disagreements over Ukrainian territory" in the context of russia's war against Ukraine.
There is the sovereign, internationally recognized territory of an independent nation that has been invaded by an aggressor.
Whatever discussions take place regarding Donbas, journalists should use accurate terminology, such as "russian territorial ambitions," "discussions over russia's territorial demands," or "russia's aggressive territorial claims."
These are not even negotiations per se. They are more accurately described as discussions in which the aggressor is essentially presenting its demands to the victim of its aggression.
There should be a genuinely impartial third party mediating these talks. Instead, Europeans are being excluded from the trilateral format, while the U.S. has clearly taken russia's side.
Key issue to watch: Whether negotiators can achieve concrete progress on security guarantees and de-escalation measures without legitimizing russia's occupation of Ukrainian territory or pressuring Ukraine to surrender parts of its sovereign territory as a condition for peace.

⚡️ Zelensky arrives in Denmark for talks with Nordic leaders.
"The main priority is our security and strengthening our defense. There will be new steps to enhance Ukraine’s defense capabilities — a strong defense package from Denmark,"

Kallas: Russia covers 12% of the world. It doesn't need additional territory to be happy. It is about imperialistic ambitions.
The word "hybrid attack" is a bit too soft. These attacks are becoming more and more kinetic.

BREAKING: UKRAINE SAYS IT JUST HIT THE PLANT THAT FUELS RUSSIA'S BALLISTIC MISSILES. IT'S OUTSIDE ST PETERSBURG.
The Morozov plant. Rostec-owned. Kyiv's General Staff calls it a key link in the chain that keeps Russia's ballistic missiles flying.
Kirishi this morning. Morozov tonight. Both in the Leningrad region, the same corner of Russia.
Russia's refineries feed the war economy. This plant feeds the missiles.
One day before Abu Dhabi.
Is Kyiv bringing leverage to the table, or a message about how far its reach now goes?

BREAKING: LEADER! Mayor Zohran Mamdani enrages MAGA world by declaring on Fox News that abolishing ICE is actually an "acceptable" policy for "mainstream America."
He went into the lion's den and came out grinning...
“Look, I think the thing that is most acceptable to mainstream America is abolishing ICE and making sure we have humanity back in our immigration enforcement,” Mamdani said after Fox News’ Shannon Bream asked him to name a policy of the Democratic Socialists of America that most of the country would support.
Mamdani is himself a member of DSA. The organization has drawn relentless smears from a right-wing media ecosystem that flies into a frothing rage at the sight of the word "socialist." In reality, the DSA is pushing for deeply popular policies like Medicare for All and the aforementioned ICE abolishment.
And it must be abolished. ICE is completely out of control, gleefully serving as a jackbooted paramilitary force for a demented, pedophiliac President and his white nationalist chief of staff. These agents are undertrained, over-armed, and out for blood. Sexual abuse is rampant at their detention facilities. The entire agency needs to be ripped up by the roots.
“And the thing that has been offered as a part of a litany of policy platforms that I would reject is, you know, after last night, why would we abolish the Senate?” asked Mamdani, referring to the blue tsunami. The interview was recorded last Wednesday and aired over the weekend.
"And I think what we're seeing is that Americans across this country are facing a cost-of-living crisis," he continued. "And last night's results show us that Americans are tired of waiting. They are tired of being told that their needs are unrealistic by the very politicians who've been bought by the wealthiest people in the country."
This is one of Zohran's superpowers. Rather than getting dragged into litigating the term "socialism" or distracted by culture war issues, he laser-focuses on kitchen table issues. The status quo under Republicans is destroying working-class people. The DSA is offering a healthy alternative to financial collapse and people are more than willing to listen.
"What we saw last night are candidates across the country, no matter how they describe themselves, running on policies that would transform working people's lives," Mayor Mamdani went on. "James Talarico ran on universal Pre-K. Annie Andrews ran on ending endless wars. Keisha Lance Bottoms ran on streamlining the production of affordable housing. Jocelyn Benson ran on a data center moratorium."
"These are the kinds of things that also characterize what we've been doing right here in New York City," he added. And yes, I'm proud to be doing so as a mayor who's a member of the Democratic Socialists of America."
Then came the lightning round. Bream, eager to secure a sound bite that proves Mamdani is a "far left lunatic" fired off several radical policies—
"Okay, get rid of borders?" she asked.
"No," said Mamdani.
"Get rid of SCOTUS?"
"No."
"Get rid of jail?" she pressed.
"No."
"So.... Do you think DSA's gonna kick you out?" asked Bream.
"No," said Mamdani, laughing.
"It sounds like you're not aligned with some of the core things they really want to get done," she said.
"You know, when you go into a room and there are more than one socialist in the room, you will often find disagreement in that room," said the mayor. "And what unites members of the Democratic Socialists of America is in many ways what has brought people into politics over the years, a belief in the dignity of working class people and the dignity that has to be a characteristic of their lives. And an understanding that democracy, for it to be meaningful, can't just be at the ballot box. It has to be in the rest of our lives, from the workplace to every other aspect of it. And that's why I'm excited to be a member and that's why I've been excited also to deliver for New Yorkers."
This is how it's done, folks! Reports already indicate that Mamdani is working behind the scenes to urge a strong progressive to run in 2028 so that we don't get shackled to a corporatist, do-nothing Democrat. The future is blue!
Please ❤️ and share if you love Zohran!

James Talarico gewinnt in Texas, gilt bei den Demokraten als Zentrist - und haut dann solche Sätze raus:
„Armut existiert nicht, weil wir die Armen nicht ernähren können, sondern weil wir die Gier der Reichen nicht satt bekommen.“
So viel Klarheit wünschte man sich von der SPD.

Russia's delegation at the Abu Dhabi talks is led by Vladimir Medinsky, co-author of the new Russian school history textbook that justifies the invasion.
Moscow didn't send a negotiator. It sent its narrative.

Polish terrorist Michał O. was fascinated by Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik and far-right extremism… Polish Minister of Justice Waldemar Żurek said in an interview with Radio Kraków.
Investigators have examined Michał O.'s computer. "One can see that he visited websites related to Anders Breivik."
According to Żurek, the investigation reveals a very strong far-right extremist motive.

Ja, Europas fjender er overalt.
Rusland, MAGA og Israel er godt infiltreret - og forsøger at nedbryde de europæiske demokratier.
Det yderste højre er den trojanske hest. På tværs af Europa. Vi så det også i Danmark under urolighederne.
Udover bots og trolde, er det de sædvanlige profiler fra højrefløjen, som fører an.
I ved, hvem I her.
