To those with short memories: Between 2014 and 2022, Ukraine held about 200 rounds of talks with Russia. During this period, 20 cease-fire agreements were reached, all of which were quickly violated by Russia. None of the 200 rounds of talks or the 20 ceasefires have prevented

Ariel Bibas, was supposed to celebrate his 6th birthday today with his family and friends, but terrorists in Gaza cut his life short. His family wrote to the public: “We invite you to light a candle or release an orange balloon and dedicate a good moment with a loved one that

"We printed stories that angered powerful people. ("I like your newspaper," one terrifying man told me. "I would hate to see it go away.") So much of this was just an extension of Derk's bravery and sense of adventure." Ellen Barry & others on D Sauer themoscowtimes.com/2025/08/04/he-…

Ariel Bibas wäre heute 6 Jahre alt geworden. Ein Tag voller Lachen, Kuchen und Geschenke so hätte es sein sollen. Doch Ariel wurde brutal von Hamas-Terroristen ermordet. Mit bloßen Händen. 🕯️ Ariel – wir werden dich nie vergessen. 🎗️ Es ist noch nicht zu spät. Wir können die

Vergesst niemals: Tausende aus Gaza haben applaudiert, als Ariels und Kfirs Körper in Kisten durch Gaza transportiert wurden.

“Great progress was made!” Haven’t we heard that a million times before? Looks like Trump caved to Putin again. No new sanctions on Russia.

TACO

These are like the gifts that Politburo members used to give to Brezhnev

My reading of the tea leaves: Putin 🇷🇺 presented Witkoff with concrete demands. His plan is now to try to get Trump 🇺🇸 to agree to key parts of them in a direct meeting, before the two of them confronts Zelenskyy 🇺🇦. foxnews.com/politics/trump…

Unfortunately, it looks like the outcome of Trump's deadline is indeed an opportunity for Putin and an acute danger for Ukraine and Europe. Trump will go into this meeting without any leverage. Putin will eat the TACO.

As we promote peace through strength at NATO, we thank Germany for stepping up to deliver Patriot systems—top-of-the-line U.S. equipment—to Ukraine. These defenses will help protect critical infrastructure and save civilian lives. #StrongerTogether CC: Germany at NATO US-Botschaft Berlin

Die Aussetzung von Waffenlieferungen an Israel halte ich persönlich für einen schweren politischen und strategischen Fehler Deutschlands. Die Glaubwürdigkeit unserer Staatsräson bemisst sich gerade an der Sicherheitskooperation und der Zusage, jüdisches Leben und den Staat Israel

So Vladimir Putin, who has an ICC warrant out for his arrest, gets a meeting with the U.S. president on U.S. soil without having to give up or even promise anything—after ignoring and insulting Trump. One more win for Putin, one more loss for Trump.

Support #Ukraine on its trail towards just and lasting peace. The principle of territorial integrity must not be tampered with, it is the cornerstone of security and stability in the post IIWW era. Changing borders by military force is unacceptable.
