Likely a statement drafted in the Kremlin, JD Vance says almighty "Ukrainian intelligence" is rigging elections in both the US and Hungary.

China isn’t just competing with the U.S.; it’s enabling global instability. Chairman @RepMoolenaar, highlighting investigative work from @ChinaSelect, explains how Beijing is buying sanctioned oil from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela through the use of a “shadow fleet” of thousands of ships, and in exchange supplies dual-use technology that fuels Iran and Russia's war efforts.

This is embarrassing, Delete it, President ⁦@realDonaldTrump⁩ - unless you want everyone to think you’ve lost your marbles.

My intel is that Trump administration used Orban to help sabotage the EU’s Russian-assets-to-Ukraine deal. More Trump/Russia. politico.eu/article/operat…

If the WH goal is to get Europe to deter Russia on its own, why back the European leader most resistant to deterring Russia?

Our signal to the United States and countries in the Middle East about the Strait of Hormuz was that we were open to discussing it. As of today, I don't see any country lifting the blockade on its own, only joint steps can bring results. Ukraine has experience with launching the Grain Corridor in the Black Sea despite Russia’s attempts to block the flow of food and other goods. The situation now is similar, but it is about energy. Our suggestion – based on our experience – was as follows. The war and the negotiations on reopening the Hormuz Strait can go in parallel. It’s worth trying to find a diplomatic solution, and this could be beneficial for both sides in the war. An alternative step would be to control the Strait unilaterally, as Ukraine did with the Grain Corridor. Achieving this would require interceptors, military convoys to escort the vessels, a large integrated electronic warfare network, and other tools. We stand ready to help with this. But for now, we are not yet involved. So far, no one has made such a request. We are simply sharing our knowledge. If one day our partners want to make use of it, we would be ready.

Russia "tries to tell the world, 'We are the defenders of traditional values.' This is a lie." - Karol Nawrocki, Poland's President at CPAC: 🇺🇸 🇵🇱 "We also know that threats to our way of life are not just cultural. They are real. They are geopolitical. They are dangerous. In Europe today, we face an aggressive Russia. A regime that invades its neighbors. A regime that destroys cities. A regime that believes power gives it the right to dominate others. And today, that same regime tries to tell the world, 'We are the defenders of traditional values.' This is a lie. Russia does not defend conservatism. Russia represents corruption and violence. True conservatism....True conservatism respects nations. True conservatism respects human dignity. True conservatism believes in freedom under law."

It would be nice if White House explained what Trump and Putin agreed upon in Anchorage regarding #Russia-#Ukraine war.

Zelensky responded to remarks by the CEO of German arms manufacturer Rheinmetall. “If every Ukrainian housewife can really produce drones, then every Ukrainian housewife can also be the CEO of Rheinmetall. I congratulate our defense industry on this high level.”

During my recent visits to the Middle East, we raised the issue of unblocking the Strait of Hormuz. This is a painful issue for the entire world because of the energy crisis. Countries in the Middle East know they can rely on our expertise in this area. We discussed it in detail. We shared expertise on our Black Sea corridor and the way it operates. They understand that our Armed Forces have been highly effective in unblocking the Black Sea corridor. As for other aspects related to Hormuz, in my view, this is being handled by the United States. We are, of course, always ready to help our partners. From my conversation with journalists (2/3).

⚡️ Ukraine is bringing its combat-proven drone technology to America through a new partnership to build advanced interceptor systems for the U.S. military. united24media.com/latest-news/uk…

Ukraine supporters, DO TWO THINGS (pretty please): (1) here is the link to report violations of Export Controls under the Export Controls Act here: bis.gov/forms/confiden… This is crucial, very important, link the original story at the very least, located here: hntrbrk.com/ubiquiti/ More to come. #NAFO (2) report the same information to Ubiquiti's compliance officer, at this email, this triggers a duty to investigate and other important obligations: compliance@ubnt.com

So, @Ubiquiti responded to our action. A few hours after we showed up at their headquarters in Manhattan, @Square - Ubiquiti’s partner company - deactivated the account we use to sell T-shirts at our gigs. Going after Russian feminist activists in exile, but not after Russian war criminals. Cringe.

"We forced Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, and strategic bombers.. We promised to protect Ukraine from Russia. We made Ukraine vulnerable. So yes,this is our war." - Bill Clinton 🫡

I just heard that my Republican colleagues met with members of the Russian Duma, with @RepLuna giving them a private tour of our Capitol yesterday—including @SpeakerJohnson's offices! Let's be clear: Russia illegally invaded Ukraine in 2022. Military aid and sanctions by the United States and our allies have been the ONE thing standing in Putin’s way of rebuilding the Soviet Union. Foreign political operatives of our adversaries should NEVER be allowed on Capitol Hill. This 'visit' opened the doors to a massive #security threat to the Speaker, to our Congress, and to democracy itself. All while Trump funds the Russian war machine by removing sanctions on their oil this week. This yet another extension of the Trump administration’s moral equivalency between Russia and Ukraine in this war.
