Mes chers compatriotes,
Ce qui se joue en Ukraine nous concerne directement. C’est de notre sécurité à tous dont il est question. Aider l’Ukraine à se défendre, c’est protéger la France et les Français.
Si la Russie impose par la brutalité sa volonté à un pays européen, c’est toute l’Europe qui est fragilisée.
C’est pourquoi l’Ukraine a encore été au cœur de nos échanges jeudi et vendredi à Dublin, lors du neuvième sommet de la Communauté politique européenne et du Conseil européen informel. Nous y avons montré notre unité autour de deux priorités que je veux partager avec vous ici.
La première, c’est d’aider l’Ukraine à passer l’hiver. Les Ukrainiens continuent de résister avec un courage qui force l’admiration.
Les derniers échanges avec les émissaires américains l’ont montré : Vladimir Poutine ne veut pas négocier. Son armée n’avance pas. Elle recule même et subit des pertes considérables. Mais il est clair qu’il fait le pari de faire plier l’Ukraine en multipliant les frappes contre les civils et en cherchant à plonger le pays dans le noir cet hiver. Notre responsabilité est de faire échouer ce pari.
Cela veut dire maintenir notre soutien financier et aider l’Ukraine à protéger sa population, ses centrales et ses réseaux électriques.
Soyons clairs : ceux qui veulent rationner les moyens de l'Ukraine souhaitent au fond l'obliger à une paix injuste, à sa vulnérabilisation durable, et ainsi, à celle de l'Europe. C'est l'esprit de défaite. C'est la recette pour la guerre d'après. Cela ne peut pas être la position de la France.
Notre deuxième priorité c’est de travailler avec l’Ukraine à une paix juste et durable. L’Europe doit y prendre toute sa part, car de cette paix dépend aussi la sécurité de notre continent.
Au Conseil européen, hier, nous avons réaffirmé notre unité sur ce point.
Au sommet de la Communauté politique européenne, nous avons pris une décision historique. 42 pays ont approuvé, à l’initiative de la France, une déclaration sur les principes qui doivent guider la sécurité de l’Europe.
C’est aussi le sens du travail de la Coalition des volontaires, que nous avons lancée début 2025 pour préparer les garanties de sécurité de l’Ukraine. La déclaration adoptée à Paris en début d’année en a posé les bases. Elle prévoit de soutenir l’armée ukrainienne et de préparer une force multinationale qui pourra être déployée après un cessez-le-feu. Un exercice est en cours en Pologne pour montrer que nous sommes prêts à y prendre notre part. Nous nous retrouverons jeudi à Berlin pour poursuivre ce travail.
Nous devons maintenant aller plus loin et dire clairement, y compris aux Russes, ce que nous voulons pour l’après-guerre. Nous devons aussi préciser ce que nous attendons des États-Unis pour la sécurité de l’Europe à long terme.
Je veux en tout cas dire ici ma conviction que l'Ukraine, qui a la première armée conventionnelle d'Europe, a un rôle clé avec l'OTAN - au sein de laquelle elle a toute sa place.
Notre objectif est clair : obtenir une paix juste et solide pour l’Ukraine puis continuer de renforcer, avec tous, un cadre de sécurité commun pour l’Europe.
C’est ainsi que nous protégerons dans la durée les Ukrainiens, les Français, et tous les Européens.
This is what we do. This is who we are. 🇨🇦❤️
Canada has offered its full assistance to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as it manages the situation, including accommodation of US-bound aircraft as required.
We remain ready to provide support to our American colleagues as the situation evolves.

🇨🇦 Mark Carney: “There is no way that Canada is going to walk away from any other NATO member, ever. We’re not giving Russia a cordon sanitaire, you know how ‘well’ that worked. The security architecture for free Europe will be determined by free Europe and NATO, not by Russia.”
Unbelievable that knowing that Outlook relies on vague, legacy code they let all of engineers go
I talked my friends who are in Seattle, Washington working in Microsoft.
They have been in the office for the last 12 hrs and couldn't find the Root cause of the Outlook issue. They are suspecting that some AI scripts went out of scope and did some patching without any logs and traces.
The engineer team that actually coded legacy outlook is not in the Organization and got impacted due recent layoff in the Microsoft.
With AI managing almost everything in the Microsoft, so higher management thought of reducing the workforce of Core engineering team.
The code of Outlook is so vague that only core engineer (no more in the org) knows about it and earlier they fixed these kinds of issues within 30 mins but now it has been more than 12 hrs and the new team is unable to FIX it.

Russia's military blogosphere now on the verge of panic, with the country's biggest blogger Rybar, now saying that Ukraine is moving into every area from which Russia is retreating, advancing all across the front.

Pięć europejskich państw: Francja, Włochy, Polska, Niemcy i Wielka Brytania (E5) oraz instytucje europejskie uczestniczyć będzie w imieniu Europy w negocjacjach z Rosją, Ukrainą oraz USA. Stawką jest pokój w Ukrainie i bezpieczeństwo Polski i całej Europy. To nasz czas.

Remind me: did Trudeau ever lose Canada’s AAA credit rating?
Well done, @fordnation. As bad as you thought PMJT was, you’re worse.
The chickens are coming home to roost as Doug Ford’s out of control spending catches up with him.
Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy’s favourite thing to brag about is Ontario’s credit rating.
With a $16.9B deficit and $600B debt, experts say it’s due for a downgrade.

I wouldn't exist without Canadian soldiers. They liberated the Netherlands during WW2. They rescued my grandfather from a labor camp. Their kindness inspired my grandfather to move to Canada after the war. The rest is history. This day means the world to me.

BREAKING: Justin Trudeau is specifically asked if he believes that Trump's tariffs are an Act of War.
His answer is tremendous.
"Canadians are not angry at the American people for this. We don’t have anything against Americans. Americans are our neighbors, our friends, our partners. We do things together, we’ve done things together for decades and generations. This is a policy decision by the American government (Donald Trump), designed to go after the Canadian economy. This is a trade war — yes. But Canadians are hurt, Canadians are angry. We’re going to choose to not go on vacation to Florida or Old Orchard Beach or wherever. We’re gonna choose to try to buy Canadian products and forgo bourbon and other classic American products. We’re probably going to continue booing the American National Anthem. But let me tell Americans — we’re not booing you, we’re not booing your teams, we’re not booing your players -- we’re booing a policy that is designed to hurt us."
How can anyone view Trump as the good guy in this Trade war?
She's the very best!

Canada is one of the largest per-capita contributors to Ukraine’s defence and reconstruction. The Canadian Armed Forces train thousands of Ukrainian troops in Latvia. Our support is unwavering.
Together, with our European Allies, we will secure a just and lasting peace in Ukraine and Europe.

40,000 Canadians 🇨🇦 served in Afghanistan over 13 years, this was the largest deployment of troops since WW2. Canada was the first NATO country to sign on after 911. We lost 158 soldiers. When push comes to shove, Canada stepped up. 🙏

Canada is the EU’s closest partner outside Europe.
That's why we're at the European Political Community Summit in Dublin. To build our collective security, create new economic opportunities, and reinforce our sovereignty.

This is extraordinary. And good to know there is ample competition and alternatives in the satellite market.
🔥Russians are panicking over Ukraine’s new refinery strike tactics. Drones reportedly switch targets mid-flight, and Trump can no longer simply pull the plug.
The Russian Telegram channel *Дневник Разведчика* (Intelligence Officer’s Diary, 147,800 subscribers) describes a major shift in Ukraine’s long-range drone campaign following the strikes on Kstovo, Samara and Yaroslavl.
Previously, Ukrainian drones were sent toward predetermined targets. If the first drones successfully hit a refinery unit, the rest continued toward the same target.
Now, according to the Russian channel, Ukrainian operators can monitor strikes in real time and redirect incoming drones while they are still in flight.
Once a primary distillation unit is hit, subsequent drones can be redirected toward storage tanks, cracking units, electrical substations or other critical equipment.
Instead of concentrating an entire wave on one target, Ukraine can distribute the damage across multiple parts of the refinery.
The Russians are describing something far more dangerous for their oil industry than simply larger drone attacks: the ability to adapt an entire strike while it is happening.
The channel attributes this capability to Israeli HiSKY SmartLight satellite communications terminals, which it says Ukraine is using as an alternative to Starlink.
It claims the terminals allow two-way communication over Russian territory, making it possible to adjust flight paths, identify air-defence positions and redirect drones around interception zones.
And then comes the most revealing part.
The Russian channel argues that American restrictions on Starlink have backfired spectacularly.
Its conclusion:
"Trump has simply lost his leverage over Kyiv’s long-range strikes."
And:
"Ukraine has slipped off the American leash and found a commercial alternative that the White House cannot switch off with a phone call."
That is coming from a Russian military channel, not Ukrainian propaganda.
Moscow is now discussing a scenario in which Ukraine can strike multiple critical refinery units in a single operation, adapt to Russian air defences in real time and continue its campaign without depending on American-controlled communications.
Putin has been trying to get Trump to restrain Ukraine’s refinery strikes. Now Russian military commentators are warning that even American pressure may no longer be enough.
The irony is extraordinary. Washington reportedly tried to limit Ukraine’s options. The Russians are now complaining that Ukraine has found a way around those limits.
The HiSKY deployment, electronic-warfare resistance and real-time retargeting capabilities are claims made by the Russian channel, not independently established technical facts. The attribution in the draft matters, especially for the claims about Trump’s leverage.
