🚨 Russia is a voting member in the EU - it votes by proxy through its vassal Hungary. Russia has unilateral veto power to scuttle any EU legislation requiring a unanimous vote. More audio recordings of secret phone calls between Lavrov and Szijjártó. vsquare.org/kremlin-hotlin…

The US-Iran ceasefire agreement is a relief, but uncertainty remains in the region. In Riyadh, I met with Foreign Minister @FaisalbinFarhan and GCC Secretary-General @jasemalbudaiwi to discuss how to move from the two-week truce to a more permanent peace. We also discussed broader regional issues. This crisis has proven the need for a stronger EU–Gulf partnership, including on security and defence cooperation which can make both of us stronger.

Overnight, Ukraine 🇺🇦 conducted yet another long range strike targeting russian 🇷🇺 assets in southern occupied Ukraine (total = + 400 strikes now !) For you, I gathered here 20 different databases to better understand the russian invasion of Ukraine : 🧵THREAD🧵1/24 ⬇️

No denials from the Kremlin

24,000 UGV missions in 2026. 24,000 times, machines moved forward instead of people. Fewer risks for our defenders, growing pressure on the enemy.

More catastrophe hitting Russians at the front, as one of their largest military bloggers says Ukraine is now employing 70 drones for every 30 by Russia.

@WesternStateM @WarMonitor3 That is also just Bla, Bla, Bla...

@ipgrms @WarMonitor3 I guess trumps gonna go with obliterating their entire civilisation plan lol.

Iranian navy has turned several vessels away trying to cross the Strait Of Hormuz telling ships the strait is still closed. What?

@GuyRendell99982 @NXT4EU Well, to finish this conversation, I just hope they go for it and I think they will have a lot of reasons to go for it.

@ipgrms @NXT4EU Well 1. It's not part of Europe. 2. I doubt the public will vote for it when the facts are laid out. Especially, immigration. 3. Makes no sense for them with the 5 eyes and CANZUK in place already

🚨 - 83% of Canadians support the possibility of Canada joining the EU. According to a new poll, done by Spark, shows extreme support for closer ties to Europe, with only 17% rejecting the idea of joining the EU! Europe is the future 🇪🇺

Trump tells ABC News there’ll be a joint U.S.–Iran venture charging tolls on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz: “We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it, also securing it from lots of other people. It’s a beautiful thing” Unbelievable

@WarMonitor3 This shows Iran mocking USA in real time and ALL the time hahahhahha

White House officials have been surprised by Iran announcement of a 10 point peace plan and say it vastly differs from the proposed plan that a ceasefire was agreed upon.

The "Ceasefire" seems to be pointless. - Israel is still attacking Lebanon - Iran has once again stopped flow through the Strait of Hormuz - Fractions of the Iranian Regime continue to attack neighboring nations. - There is a clear discrepancy over what the ceasefire deal states. Of course we'd get something like this under Trump's leadership.

STOP CALLING IT A "NEW REGIME" IN IRAN! THERE IS NO NEW REGIME IN IRAN — NONE! BY SAYING THIS, YOU ARE INSULTING 90 MILLION IRANIANS! PLEASE STOP!

🇺🇦🇷🇺 RUSSIA STACKING FORCES NEAR POKROVSK, but this could backfire HARD A growing concentration of Russian troops at the Kutyre mining complex suggests a push north toward the M-30 highway, a key artery for Ukrainian logistics in Donetsk. But look at the setup, prepared Ukrainian defensive lines, dense minefields, open terrain with almost no cover, and constant drone surveillance overhead. That’s not a breakthrough corridor, that’s a kill zone waiting to happen, where every movement is tracked and every advance gets punished @ChuckPfarrer

There is no real ceasefire inside Iran. This is Mohseni Ejei, the head of the judiciary. He has ordered courts to accelerate execution sentences, especially for protesters. Hundreds of professors are on the death row, waiting to be hanged. Do not stop talking about Iran.

One of the largest Russian military bloggers says Ukraine has not only expanded the kill zone to 50km from the frontline, but implies that Russian civilians no longer believe they are winning.

ZELENSKYY: I want American people to understand: we are your allies in Europe. World has no distance anymore — when drones already strike thousands of kilometers. One, two, three years — drones will strike ten, twenty thousand kilometers. With reactive engines, they will be very cheap. There will be swarms of these drones. You can’t defend that by yourself. The world has to help countries defend themselves and push the aggressor back. That’s why, i think, Americans need us, and we need the United States.

BREAKING: Trump and Iran’s ceasefire agreement already appears have been broken. Fox News is reporting that oil tankers are being stopped because Iran believes Israel has breached the agreement and Trump is reportedly not sending JD Vance to Pakistan for meetings regarding the deal.

@WesternStateM @WarMonitor3 They never open it and they will never open it for Trump. They just wanted USA money on fuel to be spent and they fool Trump all the time.

@WarMonitor3 Okay back to glassing Iran plan I guess, I was against trump completely ending ther civilisation but now they deserve it. Trump must finish them for good. They can’t keep opening and closing the strait.

So no ship thru Ormuz after all

@WarMonitor3 So not open after all... this cease fire was just to follow Teump, which seems a very easy thing to do.
