Already subject to a French expulsion order & a measure freezing her assets, the former director of RT France is now on the EU sanctions list. A necessary decision. Thank you to @NathalieLoiseau and her colleagues in the European Parliament who passed a resolution to this effect.
L’Union européenne vient de sanctionner Xenia Fedorova, dans le prolongement des mesures prises cet été par la France à l’encontre de l’ancienne dirigeante de RT France, visée par un arrêté d’expulsion et un gel de ses avoirs. La France, comme l’Union européenne, continuera d’entraver les activités de déstabilisation menées par la Russie sur notre sol. Notre détermination est entière : ceux qui pensent pouvoir conduire impunément des manœuvres hostiles à notre démocratie en subiront les conséquences.

The is a disgrace, @SecRubio, you know it. To invite Putin amounts to whitewash his crimes against humanity and genocide. It's an offense to his hundreds of thousands of victims. russia will never be a normal state. There's nothing to discuss with them, but their full surrender.
. @SecRubio: "we've invited President Putin to the G20. We think it's an opportunity for him to engage not just with the president, but also with other world leaders. we hope that's an invitation he'll accept. there's an opportunity in December, if that happens."

Yes, I fully back this statement—from France, and speaking on my own. All the persons on the list must stay on the list. There should be neither exceptions nor exemptions. There's a true risk to unravel the sanctions system. Many more must be added, and no one withdrawn. Period.
Usmanov and Fridman were listed because they are part of Russia's aggressive regime waging a war of aggression against Ukraine. What has changed? Nothing. Delisting is unacceptable and would send the wrong signal to Moscow at a time when pressure needs to increase. On the contrary, sanctions need to be tightened, individual lists expanded, and the rollover extended from six to twelve months — so that there are fewer counterproductive ideas to please Russian oligarchs.

Exactly this. The Western leaders should refrain talking about, even alluding to, negotiations with russia: that is nonsensical. They should enforce a victory plan for Ukraine and a radical defeat plan for Moscow. russia's collapse must be our war aim. There's no other.
The only way to end Russia's war on Ukraine and Europe is to help Ukraine win. Anything that doesn't do that is noise, and the energy markets know it.

Are these despicable remarks—typical among tankies—surprising in her case? Such a classic example of double standards: if the West is not involved, crimes against humanity aren't considered problems, and it becomes urgent to do nothing. She has lost all moral and legal compass.
Francesca Albanese accusa la NATO – non la Russia – di tenere aperta la guerra in Ucraina, chiede di togliere le armi a Kyiv e, quando arriva il momento di spiegare come fermare la guerra, ammette: «non ce l’ho la soluzione». Quindi l’aggressore resta armato, l’aggredito no e la colpa se la guerra continua è della NATO. Una narrazione colonialista, complottista e perfettamente sovrapponibile alla propaganda russa. Da una relatrice speciale dell’ONU è davvero agghiacciante.

Superb: the only appropriate response to russia’s genocidal acts. 1 Perfectly legal (Art. 51 of the UN Charter). 2 This shows that Ukraine can/will win the war. 3 A formidable demonstration of the unparalleled military capabilities of Kyiv, the key security provider of tomorrow.
Our long-range responses had a very significant impact in the Moscow region last night. One of Russia’s key oil industry facilities and the aggressor’s logistics facility were hit. These are billions of dollars that sustain the war machine. The systems used included FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000, Palianytsia, Vendetta, Liutyi, Bars, Flamingo, Sichen, and Pelican. I thank our warriors for their accuracy: the Security Service of Ukraine together with the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Foreign Intelligence Service. Sanctions were also imposed on a facility in the Voronezh region. Moscow must end its brutal war and choose peace instead of building layered rings of air defense at the expense of other regions. Steps toward de-escalation are on the table – in energy and food security. What is needed is political will. I thank everyone who is strengthening Ukraine’s long-range capabilities. I am grateful to everyone who complements our long-range responses with responses through sanctions. Glory to Ukraine!

I won't hide the fact that I view this with a certain amount of Schadenfreude. These companies—and many others—should never have remained in russia, let alone set up operations there. The risks were well known. Now let's take action: let's give Ukraine russian Ctl Bank's assets.
⚡️ BREAKING: Putin signed a decree nationalizing the Russian assets of Western giants Auchan, Nestlé, and Leroy Merlin, placing them under state-controlled management. The forced takeover comes after the companies spent years refusing to exit the Russian market.

For those who still doubt it, despite all the evidence, here's another crime of genocide being perpetrated in broad daylight by russia. Under the Convention of December 9, 1948, the existence of an ongoing genocide establishes an unconditional duty to intervene. We must. #Oleshky
A city with almost no safe way out. This is the reality today in occupied Oleshky. Ukraine is ready to carry out a humanitarian evacuation of civilians. The ICRC is ready to assist. However, Russia has still not provided the necessary security conditions. People remain effectively trapped, without adequate access to food, drinking water, and medicines, while facing the constant threat of shelling and drone attacks. In desperation, some are trying to escape on their own — even through mined areas. This puts their lives at direct risk. I continue to insist on the immediate humanitarian evacuation of civilians. People must not be held hostage to occupation.

The only diplomatic channel that actually works with russia: drone diplomacy and flamingo diplomacy. Everything else is doomed to fail. @FirePointUA
Some messages are delivered by mail. Others by the wings of a drone. At the UNITED24 MODE Summit, guests signed a @FirePointUA FP-1 drone with messages for its russian recipients. @Raid_413 made sure they arrived as promised. Consider this one very special delivery 💥

"Putin will not stop unless he is stopped," right wording from @kajakallas. Something that I and some others are keeping repeating since much more than 15 years, even before Ukraine 2014. Let's be straightforward: it was concrete implications. We must defeat russia militarily.
We have seen Russia’s dangerous recklessness at full display in the past 48 hours. A Russian warship fired flares at a Danish helicopter. NATO jets had to shoot down a drone over Lithuania. Russia struck a passenger train near the border with Ukraine. And Poland pulled a drone from its shores. We need to be clear-eyed: those are not accidents. They are calculated attempts by Russia to weaken our resolve. Europe will not dial back its support for Ukraine. My intervention in #EPlenary ↓

I've been pointing out the ideological collusion between Trump and Putin for years. The financial collusion is just as obvious. In any normal democracy, this scandal alone would have led to the president’s resignation or impeachment. But the U.S. is no longer a normal democracy.

2/2 la seule réponse à toutes les attaques terroristes de Poutine contre l' Europe en plus de son crime d'agression et de son génocide en Ukraine (déportation d'enfants) est celle expliquée par @NTenzer depuis des années ; faire l'autruche ne fait que renforcer la Russie et ses soutiens : nitter.net/NTenzer/status/2099139…
Rules: 1 The more Putin threatens us, the more we must threaten him; 2 The more he forbids us from doing something, the more we must do it; 3 The more he attacks us, the harder we must respond; 4 The more he tries to scare us, the more we must terrify him. lemonde.fr/en/international/…

Another episode for those who still haven’t understood that Trump is on the side of russian criminals. Any hope—held by certain European leaders—that he might change is in vain. He blames the victim, never the genocidal russian regime. Ukraine knows that the US is not their ally.
Trump: "Zelenskyy has to do one thing -- he has to stop knocking out diesel fuel in Russia. He's causing a shortage of diesel fuel. This isn't done by the Middle East, this is done by what's happening with Russia and Ukraine."

I'm not going to mince words. That bastard is completely in the russians' pocket, just like his father-in-law. The genocide committed by russia against Ukraine means nothing to him. All that matters is the money his clan wants to make by resuming business with Moscow. A disgrace.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 Jared Kushner on Ukraine: President Putin's laid out his line of what he wants to achieve. If Ukraine, you know, wanted to withdraw to that line, then obviously, you know, we have the rest of the deal set up and put together. Ukraine right now does not want to do that. The economic costs of war are tremendous. I said this when I was in Ukraine. War is just negative sum and everyone loses from war and I think that economics and business and peace is very, very positive sum.

This is, by essence, an act of terrorism. It already happened elsewhere in Europe. As I and some others stated more than one year ago, let's unfortunately expect more like this. The sponsors, including potentially states, and executioners should treated as terrorists.
