Cmdr Nielsen discusses how the most important reason why #China and #Iran support Russia's war in Ukraine is that it is disruptive and not because they actually care whether Russia wins the war
🇩🇰 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 #AndersPuckNielsen is a military analyst and Navy Commander at the Royal Danish Defence College. He studies #Russia's military since long before the 2022 invasion
US is warning allies that #China has stepped up its support for #Russia
Providing satellite imagery for military purposes, machine tools for tanks, propellants to be used in missiles, increased space cooperation, to help #Moscow in its war against #ukraine sources told
❗️More than six years ago, Putin declared victory over the Islamic State during the operation in Syria.
👀 Perhaps this is why the Russian authorities now do not want to recognize the organization’s statements about participation in the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall.
🤔 #Trump: "I think the greatest salesman in history is Zelensky. And I like #Zelenskyy. Because during the impeachment hoax, he was told that I made threatening phone calls to him. And when he was asked, he said, that nothing like that happened. It was a very nice call."
🇳🇵😳 "#Russia recruited 15000 Nepalese for war against #Ukraine", - CNN
❗Last year the Russian government announced a “lucrative package for foreign fighters who will join the country’s army” - a salary of at least $2,000 per month and Russian passport.
Former Fox News host and far-right commentator Tucker Carlson announced on social media that his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin will air on Thursday, Feb. 8.
🇭🇺🇪🇺🇺🇦 Orban: "If this deal had not been reached and #Hungary had continued to use its veto, the 26 #EU members would still have funneled money to #Ukraine, which I could not stop. And they would take the funds intended for Hungary and send them also to Ukraine. Would that be good?"
❗️ "We already have the ability to destroy the enemy and ensure the existence of statehood. Our goal should be to take advantage of the moment", - Zaluzhny
Hungary far-right would lay claim to neighbouring region if Ukraine loses war
Hungary’s far-right Our Homeland party would lay claim to a western region of Ukraine that is home to about 150,000 ethnic Hungarians if Ukraine loses its statehood due to Russia’s invasion, the party’s leader said late on Saturday (27 January).
Patience wears thin with Hungary as EU leaders look towards tough Ukraine summit
As EU leaders prepare to push ahead with a €50 billion Ukraine support package this week, with or without Hungary, many in Brussels realise the step could come with a high cost.
Verzicht auf "Taurus"-Lieferung: Scharfe Kritik an Scholz' Entscheidung
"Ablenkungsdebatte", "unverantwortlich", "Totalausfall": Für seine Entscheidung, der Ukraine vorerst keine "Taurus"-Marschflugkörper zu liefern, erntet Kanzler Scholz scharfe Kritik - nicht nur aus der Union, auch aus Teilen der Ampelkoalition.
Scholz will derzeit keine "Taurus"-Raketen an die Ukraine liefern
Seit Langem fordert die Ukraine "Taurus"-Raketen, um etwa russische Infrastruktur in den besetzten Gebieten zu zerstören. Kanzler Scholz hatte sich bislang zurückhaltend dazu geäußert. Jetzt sprach er sich gegen eine Lieferung aus.
Four top representatives of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were charged with committing "terrorist acts on Russian territory," Russia's Investigative Committee announced on Oct. 3.
The list includes military intelligence chief Kyrylo #Budanov, Air Force Commander Mykola #Oleshchuk, Ukrainian Navy Commander Oleksii #Neizhpapa, and commander of the 383rd separate regiment of remotely controlled aircraft, Serhii #Burdeniuk.
The stability and prosperity of Europe is a vital US interest, both politically and economically, supporting Ukraine is therefore not some kind of altruism. Musk continually demonstrates, that while he is brilliant in other fields, he doesn't understand geopolitics. #russia#ukraine#geopolitics@geopolitics
#Musk mocking #Zelensky on X , clearly being a Russian troll here. While Zelensky is clearly fighting for survival of his country and people. Putin has a mighty ally inside the USA, that's clear. #Russia#Ukraine#geopolitics@geopolitics
