@FoxNews Want to remind your viewers what happened around 25 years ago? Remember when America invoked Article 5 and NATO responded? Now, what’s happened in Ukraine since Trump stole the last election… Zero assistance for Ukraine and Trump kowtowing to Putin like his bitch!!

BREAKING: "We're very disappointed with NATO because NATO has done absolutely nothing." "I said 25 years ago that NATO's a paper tiger, but more importantly, that we'll come to their rescue, but they will never come to ours." - President Trump

@StateDept As to your point about Ukraine: Firstly, the US hasn’t contributed more than Europe. That’s immediately a proven lie. Secondly, remember the Budapest Memorandum, where the US guaranteed Ukraine protection in response to them giving up their nuclear and long range capability.

@StateDept You’re obviously forgetting the only time a NATO member asked for help… Remember, just after 9/11. Nobody said Iran wasn’t our problem. What they said was, Trump started an illegal and unnecessary war and as such, they wanted no part in it. WTF do you expect them to do?

SECRETARY RUBIO: The U.S. is constantly asked to help in wars and we have. But when we had a need, it didn’t get positive responses from NATO. A couple leaders said that Iran was not Europe’s war. Well, Ukraine isn’t our war, yet we’ve contributed more to that fight than anyone.

A joint sanctions policy by different countries directly reduced the capabilities of the Russian Federation. For example, by lowering its revenues from energy sales. The Russians bypassed the sanctions, and we saw all of this, but one way or another, their revenues were smaller, and accordingly, less money went to the defense sector. The budget deficit of the Russian Federation grew year by year, peaking at the start of 2026. By the end of 2025, the Russians had an $83 billion deficit, plus another $19 billion carried over into early 2026. According to our estimates, the deficit for 2026 was expected to reach around $100 billion. Now, after the easing of sanctions on Russia’s energy sector – specifically petroleum products – their earnings are measured in billions. This certainly does not help to reduce the intensity of the fighting in Ukraine, nor in Iran, because Russia will help the Iranian regime through various means. From an interview with Le Monde (2/5).

Ukrainians take negotiations seriously. We believe talks are necessary – preferably at the level of leaders – and we are ready for that. The Russians are seeking an ultimatum resolution to the military actions. They want Ukraine to accept their conditions, including the withdrawal of Ukraine’s Armed Forces from the territory we control in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. They understand – and so do we – how long it would take them to capture this territory, with losses of 28, 30, even 35 thousand soldiers per month. And it’s still not certain they would succeed in seizing it. They could end up burying 300,000 to a million of their troops there. They don’t value human life, but they understand that it's money. All of this comes down to recruitment contracts, and 300,000 to a million additional coffins for Russia. The Kremlin is not fully reading the public reaction: whether the people will accept it or not. That’s why they are seeking this kind of dialogue with the Americans: “Tell the Ukrainians there’s nothing to fight for.” We know this Russian rhetoric very well: “There’s nothing to fight for. Just 6,000 square kilometers.” We explain to our partners, and in my view, with full justification, why this is not the case. From an interview with Reuters (4/5).

I am grateful for the enhanced partnership status for Ukraine, received in Oslo. This status already opens the door to practical cooperation – like taking part in the TARASSIS exercise. We are ready to move forward, bringing our experience and capabilities to make the JEF community even stronger. Our goal is simple and clear – Ukraine is ready to become a full-fledged member of the JEF. From an address to the JEF Leaders’ Summit in Helsinki (2/3).

The Russians have whipped up pro-war sentiment internally to such an extent that if we don't stop Putin now, war will continue. He will pick some small country. He needs it. He’s boosted the war economy and radicalized the Russians. Today, 20–25% young people in Russia want to destroy Ukraine and Europe; they want to restore Soviet influence and revive the idea of destroying NATO. This will not just vanish. So he will have to choose: either face a split in the society, or take a few steps into one of the Baltic states and set down his right or left foot there. He’ll go for the second option. He will not risk himself, his life, or domestic stability. From an interview with Reuters (5/5).

In Europe, we must have full capacity to produce all types of air defense systems and missiles for them. This includes protection against drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic threats. We cannot rely on other partners’ industries. We must be confident in our own industry here in Europe. Please, let’s keep moving this work forward and speed it up. And while we are building this capacity, please remember that we need protection from Russian missiles every single day. I am grateful to those of you who actively support us through the PURL program – it’s critically important. From an address to the JEF Leaders’ Summit in Helsinki (3/3).

Russia continues the second phase of its winter operation with strikes against critical infrastructure. Their objectives at this stage include water supply facilities, reservoirs, dams, logistics, and so on. Russia’s plans are clear, but we are stronger now than we were in winter. We need to fight for funding. Funding will let us strengthen the protection of our skies, for sure. The technology exists. With a budget in place, Ukraine can produce two thousand interceptor drones per day. From an interview with Reuters (1/5).

Russia is providing intelligence support to Iran. We have evidence from our intelligence agencies. Russia is doing this while saying, “We won't provide intelligence to Iran if America stops sharing intelligence with Ukraine." Isn’t this blackmail? Absolutely. Russia has been sharing intel regardless. But they are presenting it as a bargaining chip in this game. Could it prompt the U.S. to pause data sharing? Probably. It depends on the conditions in the Middle East and how this operation unfolds. From an interview with Reuters (3/5).

Hello again. It's 1492 - no, not the year Columbus "discovered" the Americas, but Day 1492 of Russia's illegal all-out war on Ukraine. After Trump's traitorous behaviour Ukrainians can be forgiven for rueing Columbus' decision to sail west 534 years ago! Here's the daily🧵

Thank you to @Keir_Starmer and the United Kingdom for tightening the grip on Russia's shadow fleet. Allowing British law enforcement to stop and detain sanctioned vessels is a timely move, particularly now, when global pressure on Russia is quietly loosening. It is hardly a secret that Russia funnels illegal oil revenues directly into its war machine. Anything that cuts off that flow brings peace closer and makes Europe safer. Sanctioned tankers must be stopped, their oil seized. I thank JEF countries for their willingness to jointly inspect these vessels – and urge other European partners to follow.

Ukraine’s contribution to security in the Middle East and the Gulf will also be a real contribution to global security. This matters because energy security – and the cost of living, particularly in Europe – depends on their oil, gas and other resources, and stable global markets. I believe that in Europe we need to build more close cooperation between Ukraine, JEF countries, and all European nations – to ensure real protection on land, in the air, and at sea. The key is not only producing new weapons – especially drones – not just technology, but also real experience in using it, and integrating it with radars, aviation, and other air defense systems. We have this experience. Together, we have a strong industrial base. You have financial capacity. Let’s bring all of this together even more. From an address to the JEF Leaders’ Summit in Helsinki (1/3).

Arrived in Saudi Arabia. Important meetings are scheduled. We appreciate the support and support those who are ready to work with us to ensure security.

Providing Ukraine with a loan using frozen Russian assets was the agreed position of all EU leaders at the end of 2025. The alternative to this step is now up to the European Union. We will be grateful if they can unblock this format. If they do not, we hope for an alternative that would allow us to access these funds. Otherwise, the Ukrainian army will be underfunded. Drone production – of long-range drones and interceptors – will also be underfunded, as will air defense systems, because we allocate part of those funds to European air defense systems and to the U.S. PAC-3 missiles. This is a risk for everyone. It is a risk to European security. I believe there will be no collapse, and the Europeans will resolve this issue. From an interview with Le Monde (5/5).

Today, we mark the twelfth anniversary of the National Guard of Ukraine – a force that has become one of the key pillars of our defense and our active operations along the entire front line. The names of National Guard units speak for themselves – and anyone who hears of “Azov” or “Khartiia” knows these are units that carry out their combat missions with honour. The First Corps of the National Guard, together with our other Defense Forces, is holding one of the most difficult directions – the Pokrovsk–Ocheretyne direction in the Donetsk region. The Second Corps is carrying out its missions in the Kharkiv region – and doing so exactly as required. The Third Brigade of the National Guard, the 18th Sloviansk Brigade, as well as units of the unmanned component – “Lasar’s Group,” “Wings of Omega,” and “Typhoon” – and the fighters of the Omega Special Purpose Center: each name in the National Guard speaks of strength. We are proud of each and every one who fights for Ukraine and who defends Ukraine in the ranks of the National Guard. I congratulate you on your day. Thank you for your strength. Glory to Ukraine!

The United States has reached out to us regarding their bases in Middle Eastern countries. We’ve also been approached by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait. We’re already working with some of them, and our expert teams are already on the ground, assessing the situation and sharing invaluable experience. Because no matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air defense systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defense. There are modern interceptors designed to counter heavy drone strikes. Now, we are discussing future deliveries of certain equipment that Ukraine has. We want Middle Eastern countries to give us the opportunity to strengthen ourselves as well. They have some air defense missiles that we lack. We would like to reach agreements on this. Funding is the scarcest resource today. Our defense industry is currently operating at half capacity, and we need more financing to produce drones for ourselves. That’s why we are ready to sell to our partners the systems we have in surplus. And we’re not just selling – we’ll provide our expertise as well. Interceptor drones don’t work without our expertise. It’s the system that works. From an interview with Le Monde (1/5).

Retweet if you think the world will be better without them

@PolitlcsUK There’s some thick fkrs in that audience 🤣🤣🤣

🚨 WATCH: Nigel Farage explains why he walked out of PMQs after Keir Starmer's answer "He started ranting and raving about Reform's councils across the country. In disgust, and against Parliamentary convention, I got up and I walked out"

@ZiaYusufUK It’s pathetic. Literally smoke and mirrors 🤣🤣🤣 It’ll be a real pity when the corrupt crypto donations are stopped 🤣🤣🤣 On a personal note, you realise that they all detest you and more importantly, where you’re from? You must have seen what Trump did to Vivek and Byron 🤷🏼‍♂️

Nobody else in British politics can pull off this level of aura 🇬🇧
