@vrtnws Director of T&E William Todts: "Structureel is de enige oplossing overschakelen naar elektrisch rijden en elektrisch verwarmen om niet afhankelijk te zijn wat er op de olie- en gasmarkt gebeurt." De prijs van mijn variabel energiecontract is deze maand met 36% gestegen.

@pauwelu Dus de stelling van W. Todts "Structureel is de enige oplossing overschakelen naar elektrisch rijden en elektrisch verwarmen om NIET afhankelijk te zijn wat er op de olie- en GASmarkt gebeurt" is dus niet correct.

@FinanceFilosoof Dan heeft Orban toch gelijk dat Zelenski de Europese landen chanteert. Wanneer stopt de EU met geld te geven aan het meest corrupte regime van Europa dat geen lid is van de EU noch van de NAVO.

Oekraïne legt 40% van de exportcapaciteit van Russische olie stil volgens data van Reuters. Europa in 2025: 👏Slava Ukraini! Europa in 2026: Staat daar nu 3 euro per liter op mijn tankstation?

@gertdemesure Zelenski zal alles proberen als hij maar geld kan krijgen voor zijn corrupte regime. Oekraïne is geen lid van EU noch van NAVO en wij blijven maar geld sturen.

Belangrijke ontwikkeling in de maak. Als Zelenski het daar goed doet, kan hij daar die 90 miljard euro vragen die in de Europese Unie geblokkeerd wordt

JUST IN: The country that learned to shoot down Iranian drones over Kyiv is now teaching the Gulf to shoot them down over refineries. Nobody asked Trump. The Gulf asked Ukraine. President Zelensky confirmed at the UK Parliament on March 18 that 201 Ukrainian military specialists are already deployed across UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, with teams en route to Kuwait and 34 more ready to go. These are active-duty government military personnel, not private contractors. They are sharing combat-proven expertise from three years of intercepting Iranian Shahed drones over Ukrainian cities, power grids, and civilian infrastructure. The Gulf states requested the assistance. Saudi Arabia explicitly approached Ukraine. The arrangement is reciprocal: Ukraine provides the expertise that no other country possesses at this depth of operational experience, and the Gulf provides what Ukraine needs most, funding, technology, and air defence systems. Zelensky specifically highlighted Patriot missiles as part of the exchange. The country that cannot get enough Patriots from the West is earning them from the Gulf by teaching drone interception. Trump did not request this deployment. No reporting in any outlet, from Reuters to Al Jazeera to the Kyiv Post, indicates American coordination or approval. The recent Trump-Zelensky tensions over aid disputes and public friction are well documented. This is not a Washington-orchestrated move. It is a bilateral arrangement between Ukraine and Gulf capitals that bypasses Washington entirely. Zelensky built a parallel channel to the Gulf that gives Ukraine what America has been reluctant to provide while giving the Gulf what America’s $23.5 billion arms surge does not include: the people who know how to fight Shaheds because they have been fighting them every night for three years. The expertise is specific and irreplaceable. Ukraine has intercepted thousands of Shahed-136 and Shahed-238 drones since 2022. It has developed detection protocols, jamming techniques, acoustic tracking, small-arms interception methods, and integrated air defence coordination that no training manual teaches. The Gulf states purchased Patriot batteries, THAAD radars, and anti-drone systems through the $23.5 billion arms package. The hardware is American. The operational knowledge of how to use it against the exact Iranian drone variants now striking Gulf refineries is Ukrainian. Israel views this positively. Anything that strengthens Gulf air defences against Iranian drones reduces the threat environment for every country in the region, including Israel. Ukrainian-Gulf cooperation reinforces the anti-Iran alignment that the Abraham Accords established. Israel and Ukraine share a common adversary’s weapons system: Iran builds the Shaheds, Russia deploys them against Ukraine, and the IRGC deploys them against the Gulf. The expertise flows in one direction. The threat originates from the same factory. The Putin dimension is real but secondary. Iran supplies Russia with Shahed drones for use against Ukraine. Ukraine now teaches Gulf states to destroy those same drones when Iran uses them directly. The feedback loop is elegant: every Ukrainian lesson learned from shooting down Russian-deployed Shaheds over Odesa is now applied to IRGC-deployed Shaheds over Ras Laffan. Putin’s Iranian drone supplier is being countered by the country Putin is fighting, on a battlefield 4,000 kilometres from the front line. The irony is structural. The aggravation is intentional. Two hundred and one experts. Government military, not contractors. Gulf-requested, not Trump-directed. Shahed-specific, not generic. And the country with the most relevant expertise on Earth got there before the $23.5 billion in hardware arrived. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@DilanYesilgoz Hallo wordt eens wakker. Het debat van donderdag was doordrenkt met Israël haat en iedereen van de koningin en premier tot de politie zit vol in de iftars. En al die woorden van geschokt en strijd. Stop de instroom van Jodenhaat voordat het hele land naar de klote is.

@CollinRugg Marc Kennedy and team Canada aren't victims. They're cheaters. Zero sportsmanship.

NEW: Canadian curling star Marc Kennedy claims he was set up by "premeditated" cameras to catch him "in an act" of cheating. The Canadian curling team is now claiming to be victims after they were caught on camera 'double-touching' the stone. "They have come up with a plan here at the Olympics, as far as I know, to catch teams in the act at the hog line," Kennedy said. "This was planned... it was kind of evident that something was going on, and they were trying to catch us in an act." Kennedy and Coach Paul Webster accused Sweden of setting up cameras to catch them cheating. "I know we’re not the only team that they’ve done that to. So I think this was, I don’t know what the word is for that, but like a premeditated plan to try to catch us," Kennedy said. Sweden is firing back at Canada, saying they've been sounding the alarm on alleged Canadian cheating for seven or eight years. "We've been saying this for maybe seven, eight years or something. The media crew decided to place the camera on the hog line to see what was happening..." said Niklas Edin of Sweden.

@ZelenskyyUa @_CStocker But we don't want a corrupt clown joining the EU. Especially not after your speech in Davos. And a little gratitude for the billions of euros you've already received would be more appropriate.

During a conversation with Federal Chancellor of Austria @_CStocker, we discussed the energy situation in Ukraine. Russia strikes energy infrastructure every day to leave Ukrainians without electricity and heat, and it is very important that partners respond to this. That is why we highly appreciate Austria’s decision last week to allocate funds to support our energy sector. Thank you! We also discussed other ways to support our energy system. I also informed the Chancellor about the trilateral meetings of the Ukrainian, American, and Russian delegations that took place in the UAE last week. The parties primarily discussed military issues, but they also talked about security guarantees. Ukraine’s accession to the European Union is one of the key security guarantees not only for us, but also for all of Europe. After all, Europe’s collective strength is possible, in particular, thanks to Ukraine’s security, technological, and economic contributions. That is why we are speaking about a concrete date – 2027 – and we count on partners’ support for our position. I invited the Chancellor to visit Ukraine so that we can continue our dialogue in person. Thank you!

@ZelenskyyUa @POTUS A little gratitude for the EU, which has already given you €190 billion, is more appropriate than criticizing the EU. How much of that money has already been lost to corruption in your country?

A good meeting with @POTUS — productive and substantive. We discussed the work of our teams, and practically every day there are meetings or communication. The documents are now even better prepared. We also spoke today about air defense for Ukraine. Our previous meeting with President Trump helped strengthen the protection of our skies, and I hope that this time we will reinforce it further as well. I thanked him for the previous package of air defense missiles and asked for an additional one. Protecting lives, our resilience, and our joint diplomatic efforts. Thank you!

Het grappigste beursnieuws voor mij van deze week? Dat is voor mij dat gewichtsverliesmiddelen zoals Ozempic Amerikaanse luchtvaartmaatschappijen potentieel tot 580 miljoen dollar per jaar kunnen doen besparen in brandstof. Jefferies analist Sheila Kayaoglu berekende in een rapport dat een gewichtsverlies van 10% voor passagiers de brandstofkosten zou doen dalen met 1,5%. Dat zou de winst van aandelen zoals United Airlines en Delta Air met 4% doen stijgen. Ik hou van de beurs.

Le peuple vénézuélien est aujourd’hui débarrassé de la dictature de Nicolás Maduro et ne peut que s’en réjouir. En confisquant le pouvoir et en piétinant les libertés fondamentales, Nicolás Maduro a porté une atteinte grave à la dignité de son propre peuple. La transition à venir doit être pacifique, démocratique et respectueuse de la volonté du peuple vénézuélien. Nous souhaitons que le Président Edmundo González Urrutia, élu en 2024, puisse assurer au plus vite cette transition. Je m’entretiens en ce moment avec nos partenaires de la région. La France est pleinement mobilisée et vigilante, notamment pour assurer la sécurité de ses ressortissants en ces heures d’incertitude.

Today, we have begun a substantial overhaul – internal changes to make Ukraine more resilient.   Last year, there were good results from state institutions that need to be scaled up, as well as problems that should not carry over into the new year. Therefore, a wave of personnel changes is underway, and more decisions will follow regarding institutions. Tomorrow, we will continue the changes.   Tomorrow there will also be a meeting at the level of National Security Advisors – Europe plus the United States. Thank you to everyone who is helping!

I had a meeting with Kyrylo Budanov and offered him the role of the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine. At this time, Ukraine needs greater focus on security issues, the development of the Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine, as well as on the diplomatic track of negotiations, and the Office of the President will primarily serve the fulfillment of these tasks of our state. Kyrylo has specialized experience in these areas and sufficient strength to deliver results. I also instructed the new Head of the Office of the President, in cooperation with the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and other relevant leaders and institutions, to update and submit for approval the strategic foundations of our state’s defense and development, as well as the subsequent steps.
