President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof on the sidelines of the European Political Community summit in Tirana, Albania. Zelenskyy spoke about the course of the conversation on Friday in the official Telegram channel. "During the meeting with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Dick Schoof, he thanked for the resolute support of Ukraine: this year, the Netherlands almost tripled the volume of defence assistance. We appreciate this contribution to protecting the lives of our people," Zelenskyy said.

The Ukrainian President briefed the Prime Minister of the Netherlands about the "meeting in Istanbul and the importance of putting pressure on Russia to achieve a complete ceasefire as the first stage on the path to a reliable peace." "We also discussed the needs of our country: strengthening air defence, investments in Ukrainian defence production. Everything that helps protect life from Russian aggression and restore security for people," Zelenskyy said.

Italy needs to be more involved in European efforts to find ways to end the Russian-Ukrainianwar.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said this after a meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Censor.NET reports with reference to DW.

The German chancellor announced that he would hold similar talks with other European leaders in the near future.

"We must not allow ourselves to be divided in the European Union. There are no first or second class members here," Merz added. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3552894

Senate to pass bill on sanctions against Russia if no progress in talks - Rubio

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that if no progress is made in the peace talks, the Senate will pass a bill on sanctions against Russia.

He said this in an interview with CBS News, Censor.NET reports.

According to the diplomat, the Donald Trump administration had previously asked the Senate to give it some time to see if progress would be made in the peace talks.

"We have asked the Senate to give us some time to see if we can make progress in the negotiations on Ukraine. If there is no progress, the Senate will pass a bill on sanctions against Russia," the US official said.

Rubio said that the US has already informed Russia that if no progress is made in negotiations on the war in Ukraine, Congress will pass a sanctions bill.

"We told them that this process(of imposing sanctions - ed.) has already been launched. We expected that when everything was completed, the bill would have almost 80 co-sponsors in the Senate, and I think about the same level of support in the House of Representatives. We explained that this is an initiative that we cannot stop and do not control," Rubio said

He added that Congress, especially the Republicans in the House and Senate, had tried to give President Trump space and time to negotiate.

"But we have repeatedly, for almost two months now, warned the Russians that this (imposition of sanctions - ed.) will happen if there is no progress. And I think that right now it is starting to be realised. And this is one of the things that I reiterated this week when I was in Turkey with Lindsey Graham: they (Republicans - ed.) have 77 signatures already. He thinks they can get to 80 or even more. And it's just a fact that we've been telling the Russians for weeks that this is going to happen," the State Department chief said. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3552871

In the end Trump gives s##t for Ukraine and just wants to do business deals with Russia again. For that he needs a ceasefire and a Ukraine willing to sacrifice its interests for the biggest, greatets, most beautiful deal maker the world has and will ever have seen. "Peace" is measured in trumps, with one trump being a certain ammount of profits generated for the company networks his family clan has aquired and/or holds shares in.

Over 167 thousand war crimes of Russian Federation recorded in Ukraine - Lubinets

The Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets spoke about the scale of Russian war crimes in Ukraine during a speech at the Lennart Mary International Conference.

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to ZN.UA.

Lubinets emphasized that Ukraine has experienced an unprecedented level of violations of international humanitarian law since the beginning of the full-scale war. According to official data, more than 167,000 war crimes committed by Russian troops have been registered so far.

"International humanitarian law no longer protects and punishes. It is ignored, mocked and trampled on. And it is silent," the Commissioner emphasized. He added that the international community did not draw any conclusions back in 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea, and continues to remain inactive.

According to him, more than 45,000 civilian casualties have been documented during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. At least 625 children were killed. "The youngest was only two days old. He was killed during the shelling of a maternity hospital in Zaporizhzhia," said the Commissioner.

Lubinets paid special attention to the abduction of Ukrainian children. According to him, Russia is systematically taking minors from the temporarily occupied territories, changing their names, arranging illegal "adoptions," and preparing these children for future participation in the war against Ukraine.

^"Germany can help Ukraine to get back Crimea - and it all comes down to one missile."


First sentence and I already pushed the button for emergency eject. Germany. Retaking Crimea. One wonder weapon. Thats three jokes in one sentence.


BTW, that Taurus gets delivered is absolutely uncertain, and a few weeks ago some media reported - not all - that Washington has absolutely intervened in Berlin to not send them. They more or less "forbid" it and threatened sanctions if Germany would not comply.
