Alongside the Aid package for Ukraine, The U.S. became the first nation to adopt legislation green-lighting confiscating frozen Russian assets for Ukraine. The REPO Act sets the legal basis for liquidating immobilized Russian assets held in the U.S.

Wichtige Correctiv Recherche, die aufzeigt, wie einige deutsche Unternehmen mit lukrativen Geschäften Teil der RU Kriegsmaschine geworden sind und sich jetzt dort „gefangen“ sehen. Eine Geschichte, die die Naivität des deutschen Russland-Geschäfts aufzeigt 👇

300 km ATACMS are finally going to Ukraine, CNN reports. Contrary to what Chancellor Scholz wants, this will (briefly) reopen the debate about 🇩🇪 Taurus deliveries to Ukraine.

Nicht alle in der AfD arbeiten für Russland, manche arbeiten auch für China. Bei 'Unser Land zuerst' weiß man jetzt gar nicht mehr, welches Land gemeint ist. Deutschland ist es definitiv nicht. #Krah

The RU are destroying Kharkiv, a European metropolis with 1.3 million inhabitants, in front of our own eyes. All of us supporting Ukraine have to ask are we and are our governments doing enough to help Ukraine defend itself and ourselves from this war? Right now the answer is NO!

Ich finde es ehrlicherweise schade, dass Kyjiw gleich mehrere hochkarätige deutsche Städtepartnerschaften hat (Leipzig, München, Berlin UND Hamburg). Gerade Städte wie Odesa hätten sich sehr über eine Partnerschaft mit der 🇩🇪 Hafenmetropole Hamburg gefreut…

Yes, yes and yes! This long overdue and even if the LNG exports are a fraction of the oils exports, the small RU LNG fleet is significantly more vulnerable to sanctions.

Yes, the US vote (and the following senate vote) bought Europe time. Instead of procrastinating, we in Europe have to use this time wisely and ramp up production capacity of artillery and air defense systems significantly. For that bigger (joint) orders are necessary…

The Russians continue to try to make Kharkiv uninhabitable! Me must stop them and give Ukraine the means to defend its skies and this marvelous European metropolis. Wherever necessary, Ukraine must be able to strike the launch sites from which Kharkiv is destroyed.

😅 the reply of the (Zaporizhzhia) Cossacks, Biden and US aid. Ukraine memes at their best!

Yes, this probably is the last big U.S. 🇺🇦 package. How long it will last is not entirely clear but what comes after is even less clear. That’s why we need to finally agree on confiscating RU assets and talking about common European debt to finance long-term 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 aid.

Finally, Congress came around and adopted the 🇺🇦 aid. Difficult to express the bitterness I feel thinking about the thousands of lives this MAGA blockade has cost. The U.S. credibility has taken a hit but now it’s about time to quickly help 🇺🇦 together!

This is not normal and can never be accepted as such. Call it out for what it is: these are war crimes and it’s a deliberate barbarian Russian tactic to terrorize and break the Ukrainian population. It’s doomed to fail if we help Ukraine defend itself and we must!

Take it from the leading military experts on Russia. As much as Ukraine needs air and missile defense, degrading RU‘s ability to strike Ukraine by hitting and destroying the launch platforms is the best and most cost efficient way to protect Ukraine…

Dnipro doesn't have a Patriot fire unit.

Dnipro NEEDS a Patriot fire unit.

El Paso (TX) has 12× Patriot fire units.

Spot the error.

Ukraine, over and over again, demonstrates its ability to strike high-value targets with the few western provided missiles it has. Now, they need a steady supply of further missiles, including the ATACMS & Taurus, to continue degrading the RU ability to war.
