We are approaching arguably the geopolitically defining moment of the war. Trump has admitted he is cooking up a plan with Ukraine ceding territory to Russia. Ukraine will want to reject…and then European states will have to step up and be counted.

Europe does not need the US to break Russia’s war machine and enable Ukrainian victory. Europe needs its leaders to find their proverbial balls and finally do their job: protect Europe.

I cannot get over the assassination of Anas al-Sharif and his colleagues. It highlights what for me is the most egregious aspect of Israel's impunity. The fact that Anas may have served in any capacity with Hamas or the fact that he supported the Hamas massacre on 7.10.23 should

Political, moral, and economic power — which, if there were the will, could easily boost weapons production — of these states, let alone all combined, exceeds Russia’s war potential. So why is a coalition of the willing flying to Washington and not acting on the ground?

Some claimed Putin avoided striking Kyiv after Alaska to spare Trump humiliation in his “peace” push. Putin instead was pounding smaller cities of Ukraine after Alaska. Today’s massive strike on Kyiv proves that theory wrong — Putin doesn’t care about Trump’s face-saving, only

Mario Draghi: How Do We Change Our Continent’s Trajectory? Stronger EU internal market, shared technologies, common debt. Active not passive! geopolitique.eu/en/2025/08/24/…

805 drones & 13 missiles last night, a newborn baby & his mother murdered by the russians, the Prime Minister's headquarters hit. When will Europeans finally take this seriously and give Ukraine, as international law prescribes, all the means to fight back? Our inaction kills.

This morning's Russian drone attack on Poland is more proof of Russia's intent to escalate. Trump's eternal 'wait-and-see' cycle ("Two more weeks") is exposed as a sham strategy.

The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of a disturbing rise in political violence that threatens to hollow out our public life. A free society relies on the premise that people can speak out without fear or humiliation. No more political violence.

European leaders who have spoken to Zelensky since yesterday are saying the same thing. Europe needs to act on its own to help Ukraine (in other words the US is not going to). It’s taken too damn long, but better now than never

None of us should put pressure on Zelenskyy when it comes to territorial concessions. We should all put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression. Appeasement never was a road to a just and lasting peace.

Terrorist Russia keeps bombing #Ukraine with total impunity. Last night, it showered Ukraine’s capital Kyiv with 100+ drones, attacking multistorey residential buildings, killing 3 and injuring at least 29 civilians, including 6 children. The night before, Russia targeted Kyiv
