Governor of the Central Bank of Russia Elvira Nabiullina said in December 2024 that Russian deposits will be "temporarily" frozen from March of 2025. She told Russians not to panic:

"Still, we will most likely have to resort to the unpopular step of temporary freezing of household deposits starting from March of this year. This does not carry any risks for depositors. There is no need to panic and hurry to take money out of banks.

”The Russians have betrayed every truce and every ceasefire since their first invasion in 2014. And that first invasion of course violated a number of treaties between Ukraine and Russia, as well as the basic principles of international law.”
—Timothy Snyder, The War Trump Chooses

janhoglund »
@janhoglund@mastodon.nu

”Zelens'kyi ran for president in 2019 as the peace candidate, promising to negotiate with Putin to end what was then a war that had been ongoing for five years. Russia did not respond to these overtures, except with contempt, and then with the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.”

”The Russians keep committing war crimes every day. Yesterday Russia was attacking hospitals in Kharkiv.”

@janhoglund@mastodon.nu

”After yesterday's confrontation in the Oval Office, Trump made clear just how unstrategic the American approach had been. He claimed that the real problem had been that Zelens'kyi had wanted to speak about Putin. Russia, of course, is the aggressor. It does not make sense to demand that the country under attack cease to defend itself, and to pretend that this in itself will bring peace.”
—Timothy Snyder, The War Trump Chooses

janhoglund »
@janhoglund@mastodon.nu

”Had the United States under Trump been interested in peace in Ukraine, American power would have been engaged to deter Russia from continuing the war. There was never any meaningful sign of a willingness to do this… On the contrary, the United States lifted Russia from its international isolation and accepted in advance most Russian demands. But even had that not been the case, the American position would have been illogical.”
—Timothy Snyder, The War Trump Chooses

janhoglund »
@janhoglund@mastodon.nu

”The courage of Ukrainians made possible an American and European policy to hold back Russian aggression. That same Zelens'kyi, the man who was brave enough to stay and lead his country when the Russians were approaching the capital and the assassination squads were already there, was yesterday made the subject of a public attempt at humiliation by Americans.”
—Timothy Snyder, The War Trump Chooses

janhoglund »
@janhoglund@mastodon.nu

”Yesterday Vance and Trump repeated familiar Russian propaganda. One example was Trump's claim that it was the Ukrainians who, by resisting Russia, were risking "World War Three." The truth is exactly the opposite. By abandoning Ukraine, Trump is risking a terrible escalation and, indeed, a world war.”
—Timothy Snyder, The War Trump Chooses

janhoglund »
@janhoglund@mastodon.nu

”The main way that Russia engages the United States is through constant attempts to destabilize American society, for example through unceasing cyberwar. (It is telling that yesterday the news also broke that the United States has lowered its guard against Russian cyber attacks.) Russian television is full of fantasies of the destruction of the United States.”

”…Russian trade was never very important to the United States. Why would one fight trade wars with the prosperous friends in exchange for access to an essentially irrelevant market? The answer might be that the alliance with Russia is preferred for reasons that have nothing to do with American interests.”

It’s great to see the outrage against the US siding with the oppressor (Russia) against the oppressed (the Ukrainian people).

Just can’t help but wonder why the same outrage hasn’t been there for US support for the oppressor (Israel) in its live-streamed and ongoing genocide of the oppressed (the Palestinian people).

I can’t imagine what’s different about Ukrainians and Palestinians as people that might explain the huge disparity in empathy…

"The free world must confront evil": Czech President Petr Pavel calls for a coalition of countries seeking justice for Ukraine

In his opinion, peace should be established on terms that suit Kyiv.

"Peace on the terms of the aggressor is called capitulation and will only encourage all current and future aggressors. The free world must stand up to evil," the Czech president concluded.

Some free Political advice Keir, people will like you more for shaking Zelensky's hand than Trump's.

Don't fuck this up, it's important.

8mago 18.03 GMT Inside Number 10, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said: “With pleasure, thank you very much Keir, Mr Prime Minister, happy to be here. “Really, I saw a lot of people, and I want to thank you, people of the United Kingdom, such big support from the very beginning of this war, thank you, your team. “And I'm very happy that His Majesty the King accepted my meeting tomorrow, and I’m thankful that you organised such great summit for tomorrow. “And we are very happy in Ukraine that we have such strategic partners, we've signed with you historic document.” The prime minister interjected “the 100-year agreement” before the Ukrainian president continued: “Yeah, we have only with you such documents, with the United Kingdom, so we’re happy and we count on your support and really, really, really happy that we have such partners and such friends.” Starmer added “fantastic” and the two leaders shook hands.

"Foreign adversaries including Russia and China have recently directed their intelligence services to ramp up recruiting of US federal employees working in national security, targeting those who have been fired or feel they could be soon, according to four people familiar with recent US intelligence on the issue and a document reviewed by CNN.

The intelligence indicates that foreign adversaries are eager to exploit the Trump administration’s efforts to conduct mass layoffs across the federal workforce – a plan laid out by the Office of Personnel Management earlier this week.

Russia and China are focusing their efforts on recently fired employees with security clearances and probationary employees at risk of being terminated, who may have valuable information about US critical infrastructure and vital government bureaucracy, two of the sources said. At least two countries have already set up recruitment websites and begun aggressively targeting federal employees on LinkedIn, two of the sources said.

A document produced by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service said the intelligence community assessed with “high confidence” that foreign adversaries were trying to recruit federal employees and “capitalize” on the Trump administration’s plans for mass layoffs, according to a partly redacted copy reviewed by CNN.

It added that foreign intelligence officers were being directed to look for potential sources on LinkedIn, TikTok, RedNote and Reddit."

Not long after the US and Russia sat down for their first high-level talks, one of the US’s biggest multinationals received a call.

The Russian government was planning a meeting to discuss the path for western companies to re-enter the country.

“‘This is going to be great television,’ Donald Trump remarked at the end. Sure. And the captain of the Titanic probably assured his passengers that this would make a great movie some day.

Trump has just presided over one of the greatest diplomatic disasters in modern history. Tempers flared, voices were raised and protocol was shredded in the once hallowed in the Oval Office. As Trump got into a shouting match Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a horrified Europe watched the post-second world war order crumble before its eyes.”

What if the Ukrainians received the most donations ever to carry on this fight with or without us?

If this fucking shitshow doesn’t light a fire under the EU right fucking now, nothing ever will. Trump has not only insulted President Zelensky but all of Ukraine and every ally they have in Europe. He’s also shown exactly what support we can expect from the US in Europe when Russia comes knocking on our door next. And that’s to say absolutely fuck all. It’s time to step up to the fucking plate.
