...by the way, if a country is genuinely concerned about its security, why does its leadership invent ridiculous but dangerous stories, like the claim that Ukrainians are 'crucifying kids,' as was reported in a RT headline in 2014?"

The Moscow-Saint Petersburg highway. A massive queue has formed at a gas station. Fuel sale restrictions have been introduced across Russia.

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.

“What would you say to Putin after today’s attack?” Zelensky, visiting the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra after the Russian strike: “We will have our answer.”

🇩🇪 “In the event of a war with Russia, NATO will strike Kaliningrad, the Kola Peninsula, St. Petersburg, and the waters of the Black Sea,” — states the Commander of the German Air Force, Lieutenant General Holger Neumann. In his first interview with a British newspaper, the head of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) noted that in the event of an attack on the Western Alliance, its forces will carry out devastating air strikes on Russia. In another warning directed at Moscow, he emphasized that in NATO “there are no different security zones — this means that an attack on Estonia will trigger exactly the same response as an air strike on London.” Lieutenant General Neumann added that if NATO is forced to defend itself, the Kola Peninsula in northwestern Russia, Kaliningrad, and the Black Sea will feel the full wrath of the Alliance — “Germany is ready to fight against Russia already today and will defend every centimeter of NATO territory,” — states the Luftwaffe commander. 
This is a strong and unambiguous deterrent statement from one of NATO’s key military leaders. It clearly signals that any aggression against a member state will be met with overwhelming force across multiple strategic Russian regions. The emphasis on unified response and the absence of “different security zones” reinforces Article 5 and aims to dissuade Russia from testing NATO’s resolve, particularly in the Baltic region.
