Among the fallen Ukrainian defenders, are our Finnish heroes who died for Ukraine's freedom. There can be nothing more unselfish and heroic than going to war as a volunteer to help a nation under invasion. Thank you for your courage, all foreign volunteers fighting for 🇺🇦 🙏

Kaja Kallas: As Russia bombs cathedrals, Europe should not roll out the red carpet for Russian artists and athletes that support the Kremlin's war. Culture and sport should not be a tool to whitewash aggression.

I just watched priests trying to save crucifixes from a burning monastery. This is what russia is destroying. The Kyiv Lavra is one of the holiest Orthodox sites on earth. A UNESCO World Heritage site. Moscow calls itself “Christian civilisation.” It’s literally barbarism.

More footage from the largest Moscow oil refinery 😍

Moscow bombs churches, Ukraine bombs refineries. These two are not the same.

We can't have Russian citizens enjoying the freedoms of European life while the Kremlin continues its missile attacks against Ukrainian families and cities. Together with Sweden, we call on the Commission and Member States to uphold a stricter visa policy for Russian applicants.

The tide is turning for Ukraine. The situation in 2026 is very different from 2025. Ukraine is bravely holding the frontline. Russia’s fatigue is openly showing. That’s the time to double down on our support. With the first disbursement of the €90 billion EU loan. With a winter package to support Ukraine later in the year. The G7 stands in support of a strong and sovereign Ukraine.

Tomorrow, Ukraine and Moldova will take a major step on their EU journey. The first Intergovernmental Conference will take place in Luxembourg. We will begin work on the Fundamentals cluster, which deals with values, democracy and the rule of law. The foundation of our Union.

Russian investment in propaganda, oligarchs, and politicians in the West has always been a top priority, far more cost-effective than any military battlefield. Putin is KGB, it's his native tongue, and the West disarmed itself against these tactics.

Loyal to the end. To Putin.

Incredible. Publishing what appears to be (if you care to read the "evidence") a totally legitimate US program, and even citing the risks of these being used as "Russian information campaigns", Tulsi Gabbard - the gift that kept giving - presents the Kremlin with yet one more information operation. Read our investigation from 2025 where we presented evidence that the hybrid ops unit of GRU's 29155 came up with the whole "bio-labs" concept - and co-opted Tulsi into it. theins.press/en/inv/281731

Today, the European Union took a major step forward. All Member States agreed to open the first accession negotiations cluster with Ukraine and Moldova. At the first Intergovernmental Conference on Monday, we will open the cluster on fundamentals; the backbone of the accession process. It covers the core values and principles on which the EU is built, from the rule of law to strong democratic institutions. This is a recognition of the determination, courage and hard work shown by both countries in advancing reforms, even in the face of immense challenges. And a signal that the EU’s offer of peace, stability and opportunity is unmatchable. Enlargement is a strategic choice. By bringing our nations closer together, we strengthen peace, security and prosperity across our continent. In a world marked by growing uncertainty, a larger European Union is in our common interest. Enlargement remains one of the EU’s greatest success stories and our best investment in our shared future.

In Germany, political parties are calling for something that should have been demanded four years ago. They want to completely ban Russians from entering Europe on Schengen visas—a campaign to this effect is being driven by the CDU (Christian Democratic Union). This involves the CDU/CSU political bloc—one of Germany's key conservative forces—which is associated with Friedrich Merz.

.@JDVance is now involved. The White House is fully involved. Todd Banche moved Ghislaine to protect Trump. This is the biggest cover-up in American history.

I was banned from traveling to Iran. I was sanctioned by Russia. I was hacked by China and now hacked by Russia. Putin will do anything to silence those who oppose him, but I know the difference between good and evil. You can tell a lot about a person by their enemies.

Bondi and @JDVance were directing the cover up of sexual abuse detailed in the Epstein files from the situation room. I discussed with @Lawrence how his team was instrumental in @RepThomasMassie and my passing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. @jonathanvswan and @maggieNYT's book will show that our efforts broke Trump's coalition and remains his biggest liability with American voters.
