@ukraine_map @front_ukrainian I agree. Although you may take note of preparations under way in the Baltic regions to defend from Putin. His NATO exposure is where it counts. NATO for Ukraine would take from him what he wants most: Ukraine
English

@johniwaniszek @front_ukrainian He allowed both Sweden, Finland to join NATO without doing anything
He wants Ukraine. Only 2% of Russia’s border is NATO, so he is not surrounded by NATO. He’s just coming up with excuses to invade other countries so those countries can’t be defend because they are not in NATO.

❗️❗️I am ready to stop the war in exchange for NATO membership, even if the Russian Federation does not immediately return our captured territories, - Sky news citing Zelensky's words.
According to the publication, NATO membership should be offered to the unoccupied territories of Ukraine in order to put an end to the "hot phase of the war" on the condition that the NATO invitation recognizes the internationally recognized borders of Ukraine.
And later to agree on the return of the occupied territories "through diplomatic channels."

@ukraine_map @front_ukrainian I think that the offer was made to be almost untenable, yet reasonable sounding. Putin does not want to be surrounded by NATO.

@front_ukrainian Gifting Russia 20% of Ukraine is not the way to go.

@RGibsongirl I've been in the measurement game a very long time. Units come and go. They don't mean a thing when it comes to reproducing family recipes. You are something of an archaeologist. Entertain this: Imagine this is a key to the real length of a cubit. And you have ...

#BREAKING: Mexican president announces she is stopping the migrant caravans from arriving at the U.S. southern border after Trump's tariff threat.
The announcement came only 12 hours later.

⚡️Ukrainian MP from Zelensky's party nominates Trump for Nobel Peace Prize.
Oleksandr Merezhko, a top MP from President Volodymyr Zelensky's party, has nominated U.S. President-elect Donald Trump for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, according to his letter to the Norwegian Nobel Committee seen by the Kyiv Independent on Nov. 26. Merezhko, chairman of the Ukrainian parliament's foreign affairs committee, said that Trump could stop Russia's aggression and help Ukraine achieve "just, comprehensive and sustainable peace based on the UN Charter and principles of international law."

Here's the full statement:
Mexico City, November 26, 2024
Dear President-elect Donald Trump,
I am writing to you regarding your statement on Monday, November 25, concerning migration, fentanyl trafficking, and tariffs.
You may not be aware that Mexico has developed a comprehensive policy to assist migrants from different parts of the world who cross our territory en route to the southern border of the United States. As a result, and according to data from your country’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP), encounters at the Mexico–United States border have decreased by 75% between December 2023 and November 2024. Moreover, half of those who arrive do so through a legally scheduled appointment under the United States’ CBP One program. For these reasons, migrant caravans no longer arrive at the border.
Even so, it is clear that we must work together to create a new labor mobility model that is necessary for your country, as well as address the root causes that compel families to leave their homes out of necessity. If even a small percentage of what the United States allocates to war were instead dedicated to building peace and fostering development, it would address the underlying causes of human mobility.
On another note, and for humanitarian reasons, Mexico has consistently expressed its willingness to help prevent the fentanyl epidemic in the United States from continuing. This is, after all, a public health and consumption problem within your society. So far this year, Mexican armed forces and prosecutors have seized tons of various types of drugs, 10,340 firearms, and have detained 15,640 individuals for violence related to drug trafficking.
Furthermore, the Mexican Congress is in the process of approving a constitutional reform to classify the production, distribution, and commercialization of fentanyl and other synthetic drugs as a serious crime without bail. However, it is publicly known that the chemical precursors used to produce this and other synthetic drugs are illegally entering Canada, the United States, and Mexico from Asian countries. This underscores the urgent need for international collaboration.
You must also be aware of the illegal trafficking of firearms into my country from the United States.
Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.
President Trump, migration and drug consumption in the United States cannot be addressed through threats or tariffs. What is needed is cooperation and mutual understanding to tackle these significant challenges.
For every tariff, there will be a response in kind, until we put at risk our shared enterprises. Yes, shared. For instance, among Mexico’s main exporters to the United States are General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford Motor Company, which arrived in Mexico 80 years ago. Why impose a tariff that would jeopardize them? Such a measure would be unacceptable and would lead to inflation and job losses in both the United States and Mexico.
I am convinced that North America’s economic strength lies in maintaining our trade partnership. This allows us to remain competitive against other economic blocs. For this reason, I believe that dialogue is the best path to understanding, peace, and prosperity for our nations. I hope our teams can meet soon to continue building joint solutions.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s, too. For some strange reason, my experience was nothing like hers. Can’t put my finger on why…
