75% of Ukrainians polled said they do NOT want to give up Donbas for the sake of an illusory “peace“ — recent polls show that Ukrainians oppose a peace plan that would require their country to cede its territories to Russia.

Australian Greens statement on US military attack on Venezuela notes how it possibly creates conditions for China to attack Taiwan
"Trump’s assault on Venezuela provides comfort to Vladimir Putin for his aggression in Ukraine, cover for a potential Chinese attack on Taiwan and sets an extremely dangerous precedent."

Former U.S. national security aide Philip Gordon argues in The New York Times that President Zelensky should reject the Trump‑brokered peace plan.
Gordon says its central security guarantee, modeled on NATO’s Article 5, is too weak, allowing the U.S. to withhold support unless an attack is “significant, intentional and prolonged,” giving Trump a built‑in excuse to back out.

🧵1/2 #StandWithUkraine️ 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
🗣️Back in November 2025, after returning from my 6th humanitarian volunteer trip to Ukraine, I sent a few packages from the United States—each one packed with genuine, life-saving CAT 7 🩸tourniquets and American flags, a symbol of our solidarity.
➡️ This week, I received a video from the Kharkiv region. A Ukrainian defender holds a few of these tourniquets and offers his thanks.

🎉Happy New Year to my family and friends, near and far.
From 🇺🇸 #Boston and Malden to 🇺🇦 #Ukraine and every corner of the 🌐world, I want you to know I’m grateful for you. As we step into 2026, I’m holding close a quote that speaks to the heart of it all:
“If you have the power to make someone😀 happy, do it. The world needs more of that.” — Anonymous
Let’s carry that spirit forward and build a brighter future together.✨
🕊️Wishing you good health, peace, and prosperity in the year ahead.
Picture 1: Zelenskyy arrives in Washington. No American reception, no red carpet, Trump is not present.
Picture 2: If only he had been a Russian dictator, Trump would have been standing on the red carpet, waiting for him, like when Putin came to Alaska.
The American people deserve a western leader.
@randahl - well, the US is currently a puppet regime of Putin's and is only putting forward terms that serve Russia, not Ukraine.
And maybe I should take out the word 'currently' - as past US governments did not honour agreements in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum. To protect Ukraine against aggression. Didn't happen in Crimea. Didn't happen 4 years ago.

🧵1/ #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦🇺🇸
🗣️Thinking of all of my Ukrainian friends, volunteers I met from around the world, and defenders on the front lines.
➡️Since 2022, as a humanitarian volunteer I’ve been on the ground from Przsyml, Poland to Lviv, Odesa, Kyiv, Kherson and Kharkiv and witnessed the devastation firsthand. More importantly, I’ve seen the resilience of the Ukrainian people.
Two critical reminders:
1️⃣ If Russia stops fighting, there would be no war. If #Ukraine stops fighting, there will be..
2/2
no Ukraine.
2️⃣ 🇺🇦 Ukrainians are not just defending their homeland. They are on the front lines of a battle for freedom that reaches far beyond their borders, a fight against oppression and aggression that resonates with all who value sovereignty and democracy.
☎️✍🏽 If you live in the U.S., #EU, or any ally country—call, write, tag your representatives. Demand continued support for air defense and the lifting of restrictions on Ukraine.
Slava Ukraini

Interesting reframing. Cost of aid to #ukraine in cups of coffee per month.

Kaja Kallas:
Countries want to be in NATO because they don't want Russia to invade them, to attack them. And that's why Sweden and Finland joined NATO. That's why the Baltic states joined NATO, to have this defense umbrella, really.
Now, if this is not in question [for Ukraine], or this is out of the question, then we need to see what are the security guarantees that are tangible. They can't be papers or promises.
