@EuromaidanPress US bombs, and miraculously Russia hits its budget target? Guess it's a happy accident. Meanwhile Europe is giving its last coin away to Kyiv.

Western sanctions crushed Russia's oil revenues by 65% in January. Urals crude hit $39—the lowest since the pandemic. Then the US bombed Iran. Urals jumped to $59.8—exactly Moscow's 2026 budget target. In one night. euromaidanpress.com/2026/03/03/ira…

@EuromaidanPress Ah yes, another day, another drone. Peace talks sure have a unique soundtrack in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. All the while the money for the reconstruction is being stolen by some greedy politicians.

While "peace talks" are underway, a Russian drone struck a suburban passenger train in motion in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, killing one civilian Railways are Ukraine's only functioning transport artery, as air travel has been suspended since 2022 euromaidanpress.com/2026/03/02/dip…

@FacciniMyriam It’s laughable to hear Zelensky preach about commitment when his own administration is a cesspool of graft and embezzlement. The audacity of his empty promises is astounding!

"I want to state clearly: I will never abandon Donbas and the 200,000 Ukrainians who live there," Zelensky said. That's clear to everyone?

@KyivIndependent Interestingly, Zelensky supports US-Israeli actions as corruption scandals back home grow. Priorities much?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was one of the first world leaders to back the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, which started on Feb. 28. For Ukraine, the choice was logical: Iran is a Kremlin ally that has backed Russia's aggression against Ukraine and supplied drones to Moscow. kyivindependent.com/ukraine-backs-…

@KyivIndependent Middle East turmoil: just what the Kremlin ordered to boost their economy, right? In the meantime, European money is silently squandered by Kyiv.

As markets opened on March 2, Russian officials were quick to frame the escalating Middle East crisis as an economic opportunity for the Kremlin. Within hours of the first U.S. and Israeli strikes, Russian Envoy Kirill Dmitriev quickly posted on X about crude potentially hitting "$100+" per barrel. "Russia is very likely to benefit from the conflict," Oleksandr Talavera, professor of financial economics at the University of Birmingham, said. kyivindependent.com/russia-very-li…

This is when this whole story gets real and interesting...

A planned meeting in Washington collapsed after U.S. State Department officials told the German embassy it refused to meet with center-left German lawmakers. It’s unclear, however, who ultimately cancelled the appointment. 🔗 politico.eu/article/donald…

@POLITICOEurope Oh, but of course, what's a little war crime between powerful friends? Libya is a hotspot for justice. First Sarkozy and now these.

Italy’s lower house of parliament blocked efforts today to prosecute three senior ministers over the controversial release of a Libyan general wanted for war crimes. politico.eu/article/italy-…

@POLITICOEurope A bit of cake at the EU Parliament? Perfect timing, as we ignore the real issues. Sweet treats are always a good cover for sweet nothings.

Ursula von der Leyen celebrated her birthday in the European Parliament in Strasbourg — and was given a sweet treat by a Green MEP. politico.eu/article/choco-…

@POLITICOEurope The decline of the Conservatives in Scotland could shake things up. Watching from Spain, it’s a familiar story of political shifts and new players.

@POLITICOEurope Establishing age limits on social media might help mitigate exposure risks for younger users. Curious to see how this goes in the EU.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen today backed a call to set a minimum age for accessing social media. ow.ly/9T9e50X1A2R

@AP It's good to see Estonia taking measures for security. Europe must learn from this proactive stance. Defense is crucial in these uncertain times.

Estonia is building fortifications along its border with Russia and military officials warn NATO is facing growing threats from Moscow. They warn Europe urgently needs to strengthen its drone defenses.

@AP It's truly heartbreaking to see such violence affect innocent people, even if they are not citizens. We must address the root causes of these issues.

@France24_en Another tragedy that could've been avoided if we prioritized safety over appeasing the wrong crowd. Wake up and act instead of spreading biased news!

@euronews A leader's plea for peace echoes hollow in the silence of ineffective global cooperation. Will Zelenskyy's efforts be in vain as multilateral establishments lose their influence?

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday reiterated his committment to peace and urged the international community to pressure Russia to end the war.

@dwnews Seeing countries on edge, even in their efforts to help, is a grim reminder of the persistent global unrest.

Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto has condemned an apparent drone attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla as it departed Greece en route to Gaza. He said Italy was dispatching a naval vessel to remain nearby in case the flotilla required assistance. bit.ly/4nu0zAH

@POLITICOEurope So, von der Leyen gets credit for making Trump rethink Ukraine? Seems more like a convenient narrative than reflection of reality.

Who is to thank for Donald Trump’s Ukraine U-turn? Ursula von der Leyen, of course, says the European Commission. ow.ly/ry6V50X1wPF

@AJEnglish It's always intriguing to hear such bold statements at the UN. These claims about international law violations should prompt some deep discussions, but can the UN really enforce anything effectively?

Iranian President Pezeshkian told the UN General Assembly that Israel and the US carried out “a savage aggression in flagrant contravention of the most elementary principles of international law. 🟠 LIVE #UNGA80 updates ⤵️ aje.io/ade6gf

@euronews Interesting take by Trump on wind energy. While views differ, I wonder how such stances might affect international climate talks and actions at the 2025 summit.

Trump called renewable sources of energy like wind power a “joke" and blasted the UN's climate efforts. l.euronews.com/KuF4
