How big a threat is Russian propaganda to the UK? For my first story outside Ukraine since going freelance, I travelled to Lithuania to see how a country on Russia’s border fights information warfare - and what Britain can learn from it. For @thetimes thetimes.com/world/europe/ar…

Haar dochter kwam in 2024 vrij bij een grote gevangenenruil, maar rust vond Nadezjda Skotsjilenko (63) niet. Vanuit Frankrijk strijdt ze onvermoeibaar door voor de duizenden vergeten politieke gevangenen in Rusland. @denisvanvliet interviewde haar. platformraam.nl/artikelen/31…

In Kyiv vond afgelopen weekend een zeldzaam protest plaats tegen burgemeester Klitsjko. Het is een verkozen functie, dus blijft hij in principe aan de macht tot er verkiezingen gehouden kunnen worden. Maar er gaan stemmen op om hem nu al te verwijderen. platformraam.nl/in-het-kort/…

Trump: My decision on Russia is a very simple one. I don't want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table. Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing. Zelenskyy is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing that these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States. Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World. Zelenskyy doesn't care, and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn't want to end this war, and probably never did. He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead. I WANT THIS WAR END!

🚨 NEW: U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has yet to approve the transfer of a "significant" batch of Patriot interceptors for Ukraine, sources say. "It's hard to call this a 'monthly supply,' because there's no set amount of how much you need for a month," a senior Ukrainian official says. "But it's significant." Some in Kyiv suspect Washington is holding the missiles back on purpose to pressure Ukraine, as Russia keeps striking Ukrainian cities. With @JimmySecUK kyivindependent.com/its-sign…

Смішно, що вимагаючи від України виборів, Трамп, мабуть, не розуміє, що потенційними головними кандидатами будуть колишній головнокомандувач, колишній керівник розвідки, колишній міністр оборони і пару чинних генералів Ну так, вони точно погодяться на капітуляцію
.@POTUS: "Zelensky is not a good guy for us to deal with... If they're going to end up with a settlement of some kind, they're not going to do it with him. He doesn't want to settle. He says he wants to settle, but he doesn't."

Afgelopen weekend koos Donald Trump opnieuw om Oekraïne onder druk te zetten, en niet Rusland. In Kyiv ziet @ChrisColijn dat boosheid en teleurstelling overheersen, maar inmiddels weet Oekraïne ook enigszins hoe het moet omgaan met de druk van Trump. platformraam.nl/artikelen/31…

Vrijdagavond 27 november houdt Hrytsak tgv tienjarig bestaan @platformraam een belangwekkende lezing in @DeRodeHoed in Amsterdam. Koop nu een kaartje voordat zaal is uitverkocht. rodehoed.nl/programma/een-eu…
Ukrainian historian Hrytsak: After Putin goes, a power struggle like the one after Stalin's death is inevitable. That could make Moscow readier for a truce. Putinism stays, because Russia's system keeps throwing up psychopaths, from Ivan the Terrible to Stalin to Putin.

'Attrition' often feels like an empty military buzzword, but it's very real: head of Kyiv's municipal water supply utility explains recent and near-unprecedented water cuts following Ru airstrikes by a lack of people and a lack of repairs: epravda.com.ua/interview/tar….

Kyiv is in a blackout. No water either. Kharkiv’s thermal power plant is being bombed right now. Energy ceasefire? What energy ceasefire?

This is false. As I first reported for @FT, the Ukrainian president and his office has no information about an energy ceasefire claimed by Trump. xitter.cf/christopherjm/status/2…
Effective Immediately: An ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine.
