If you've ever wondered what a fair referendum would look like in occupied territory, here's a perfect visual.
A UN resolution to close the skies would be a natural next step.
UN Commission of Inquiry on #Ukraine:
Russian authorities have committed war crimes of intentionally directing attacks against civilian objects & crimes against humanity of other inhumane acts with continuous attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

Our F35s Run the risk of being “Starlinked”.
We need a second option. Gripens now.

No, @elonmusk, the U.S. stopped funding Ukraine last year. In fact, U.S. companies make money on American weapons for which we Europeans pay.
The more you meddle in our politics and the more you play politics with your products, the more you damage your brand.
Why buy US equipment when they take the money but refuse to deliver the product? Between this and the Starlink/Star shield debacle it is clear that they are an unreliable supplier. Gripens now.
This plus the Starlink/Star Shield debacle means there is no way we should be relying only on F35s as our sole fighter plane. Gripens now.
According to former Canadian deputy prime minister and finance minister Chrystia Freeland, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick accused Canada of acting like Ukraine and threatened to send US troops across the border unless Ontario Premier Doug Ford abandoned his proposed 25% surcharge on electricity exports to the US, a retaliatory measure against Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods.
Cutting off Starlink is a warning about our F35 purchase. We need a platform that is immune to the whims of our southern neighbours. Gripens now.
NEW: Ukrainian troops have been caught off guard by restrictions on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet systems that disrupted frontline operations, as Kyiv received no advance warning from its partners of a Russian missile attack on its energy facilities for the second day running, Ukrainian officials and troops tell @FT.

Calling it a vote is charitable with a picture of the preferred candidate displayed and an armed soldier watching.

President Trump suggested he could consider it a “hostile act” for the European Union to make Canada an “associate member,” threatening to impose more tariffs or cut back trading with the bloc. wapo.st/4j8IpoLa

Another reminder that a ‘deal’ with Trump isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. The EU had a deal, just as Canada does (CUSMA), yet Trump feels completely unbound by what he agreed to. Those who keep siding with Trump are siding against Canada.

If this isn't a metaphor for US trade policy, I don't know what is.

The Russian “final solution” for Ukraine is now extensively documented.
we need to stop pretending we don’t know what we’re looking at.
It’s genocide.
Let’s start calling it what it is.
NEW: Russia is expanding the institutionalized use of state-approved history textbooks in occupied Ukraine to indoctrinate children with Kremlin narratives that delegitimize Ukrainian identity and justify Russia’s occupation and illegal annexation of Ukrainian territory.
Other Key Takeaways:
Russian occupation administrations are additionally preparing for the upcoming schoolyear by importing Russian teachers to work in schools in occupied areas via the Zemsky Teacher program.
The Kherson Oblast occupation administration is investing in efforts to train Ukrainian youth how to operate drones as part of its broader youth policy programming.
Russia is formalizing a federal-level electoral framework for occupied Ukraine ahead of the September 2026 State Duma elections. Local preparations for Duma elections include candidate registration and campaign formation, voter outreach and intensified registration efforts, early and at-home voting preparation, and election security measures.
Russian occupation courts continue to impose harsh sentences on residents of occupied areas for allegedly sending small donations to Ukrainian forces.
