Wir in Europa haben die verdammten Patriot-Raketen längst bezahlt. Sie liegen zur Lieferung bereit und könnten längst in der Ukraine sein, um Menschenleben zu retten. Aber es fehlt eine Unterschrift: die von Pete Hegseth. Sagt Selenskyj. Und die Washington Post bestätigt es: Der US-Verteidigungsminister hat die Lieferung der Patriot-Abfangraketen nicht abgelehnt. Er hat sie nur nicht freigegeben. Selbst europäische Staaten, die aus eigenen Beständen liefern wollen, warten auf das Okay aus Washington. Und am Abend sagt Trump: „Wir haben der Ukraine viel gegeben. Sie hat uns nichts gegeben.“ Bezahlt hat Europa. Sterben tun die Ukrainer. Und Washington tötet mit, indem es einfach einen verfi**ten Lieferschein nicht unterschreibt.

This fundraiser is getting more and more important, unfortunately.
After speaking to Ukrainian soldiers on the frontlines I just decided to donate another 500$ to Constantine's Engineering Equipment Fundraiser. Your donation is not just funding machines. It's helping build shelter, resilience, and the chance to come home alive. Especially now, as russia is changing its approach to how they fight this war, especially now, before winter, this equipment will help keep our people alive. Every contribution matters. Please follow me and donate: givebutter.com/liberty-engin…

Either the President was lying or Musk was lying, but the decision to slow down satellite speed and access has life or death consequences for Ukraine. This deserves a full investigation by the Senate. Elon Musk should be compelled to testify before Congress and under oath. National security decisions should be made in our national security interests, and not based on the personal whim of an unstable executive.

Engineering equipment is incredibly important to save the lives of Ukrainian defenders, so if you have money for donations to good causes, please donate to this fundraiser!
Hello everyone. Today I’m starting another fundraiser to get engineering equipment to Ukraine, and I’m asking for your help by sharing, donating, and liking this post. Even if you can’t donate, sharing it genuinely makes a difference. Plase watch the video with their CV90 Crew explaining the importance of this equipment. The donation link is in the comments below. A good friend of mine from the 21st Mechanized Brigade of the UAF has been working on improving the survivability and effectiveness of the 🇸🇪 CV90 IFVs and, most importantly, the soldiers inside them. He recently reached out to me asking for help getting engineering equipment for his brigade. This is one of those things that doesn’t look as dramatic as drones, armored vehicles, or weapons, but it directly saves lives. A properly dug fighting position, trench, vehicle shelter, or reinforced position can be the difference between soldiers surviving an artillery or drone attack and not coming home. Unfortunately, because of bureaucracy and often simple neglect by higher command, excavation equipment remains critically overlooked. It is one of the most obvious low-hanging fruits on the battlefield: relatively inexpensive machinery that can save soldiers’ lives and protect multimillion-dollar equipment. The brigade already has several excavators, but they are in critically bad condition. We are already working on getting those repaired. But even if every one of them were operational, it still wouldn’t be enough for the brigade’s needs. Their full request is for 3 excavators, transportation for them, a crane, and pickup trucks. The total cost would be around $240,000. I wish I could say we can raise all of it, but with the current level of donations, I don’t think that is realistic. So we scaled the fundraiser down to $100,000. That will allow us to purchase 3 excavators and a truck capable of transporting them. It is still a huge amount of money. But these machines will not sit somewhere in storage. They will be working every day, digging positions, protecting vehicles, and giving Ukrainian soldiers a better chance of surviving. And that is why I’m asking for your help. If you can donate, even a small amount helps. If you can’t donate, please like and repost this post. The more people who see it, the better chance we have of reaching this goal. Thank you to everyone who has supported our previous fundraisers and continues supporting Ukraine. Don't mind the snow in the video, they asked for this in march, and unfortunately I couldn't fundraiser until today. But we have been working on repairing their equipment and supplying some machines since June. Donation link is in the 1st comment below.

Please help me finish the fundraiser to help Ukraine get excavators to build shelters and bunkers against russian bombs
I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported Ukraine throughout these years and ask for your help in the end of this text, please read the whole post and repost it greatly helps. Today, russian terror continues all across Ukraine. Unable to make progress on the battlefield and achieve control over the Donbas, russia has switched to terror against Ukrainian cities. Hundreds of families, children, and their mothers are being killed with no military objective. The only objective is terror, to make Ukraine unlivable, to make its people surrender. As if that terror weren't enough, russia uses its influence over the US administration to pressure Ukraine into surrender. The results are quite depressing. The death toll is terrible. Images of dead Ukrainian children and entire families are being suppressed by social media platforms run by russia-aligned oligarchs. Ukraine is in a very tough position. But even considering all of that, Ukraine is still standing and holding off russian aggression. The voices of traitors and enemies are getting louder: "Just die and let us move on to the next target." You must understand exactly that. The goal is not to make Ukraine surrender so that it's all over. The goal is to destroy the precedent. The goal is to remove Ukraine as an obstacle to further conquest and terror against those who remain free. I know it sounds dramatic, but if history teaches us anything, it's that after devouring one target and celebrating its success, the monster will only grow hungrier. Most citizens of the West live without thinking about the death and suffering that could be unleashed against them. They think that wars against them are a thing of the past, and that the protection provided is guaranteed. It's not. The main message to Ukraine from tyrannical dictators and wannabes is that it's not a real country, that it's Ukraine's fault, that Ukraine started the war. The gaslighting is there to make sure that no one will support you. If you think someone will come and help you, that may not be the case. The techno-oligarchy will launch a wave of gaslighting, making the victim into a villain, an aggressor who could have just surrendered to stop the terror and suffering it inflicted on itself. But Ukraine still stands, and it needs help. Today, I'm fundraising to help Ukraine get critical engineering machines. These machines build shelters and bunkers that protect people from russian missiles, drones and bombs. These are excavators that dig deep into the ground to help Ukraine survive. Our goal is to raise $100,000, and we're already 65% of the way there. I'm asking you to donate, like, and share this message. I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported Ukraine throughout these years and ask for your help in the end of this text. donation link: givebutter.com/liberty-engin…

一帮人喊乌克兰只能投降,你们是不是搞忘了,投降二字本身就是乌克兰潜藏的王炸? 你们是不是不清楚乌克兰现在的军队规模和军工能力?乌克兰一旦投降,与俄国合兵一处,除了俄国,谁都是输家——欧盟,美国,也包括中国。它边上那个朝鲜可是俄国正式的军事盟友而不是中国的。 有人真以为川普无脑出卖美国利益,联合中俄施压,就能一锤定音了?川普真走到那一步,早就被国会干死了。中国不是傻子,根本不会上川普的破船。 而欧洲,只要想到乌克兰这道屏障丧失且与俄国合兵横扫的噩梦,就会冷汗直冒,这也是为什么美国无论怎么威逼利诱,欧盟都不买账,王八吃秤砣铁了心一定要支持乌克兰的原因之一。就算不下场,欧盟也有大把的资源援助,别忘了2026年欧盟国防开支大约4540亿欧元,稳居世界第二。 顺便附上已今非昔比的乌克兰军事实力: 现役军人:88万–100万之间。 预备役:约400万。 准军事力量:约10万–25万。 其他:女性战时服务人员超7万。 主战坦克:约1,120–1,123辆。 装甲车辆:数万辆(含保护性机动车辆近1.9万辆)。 火炮:自行火炮约上千门,牵引火炮与火箭炮数量不详 飞机:约350–370架。 军工总体产能:2026年预计约550亿美元。 无人机:FPV年产超800万架。 弹药(含炮弹):产能已超国家订单量,部分已实现闭环生产,并有出口潜力。 其他:海上无人艇、地面机器人、电子战设备、喷气发动机等(正扩产至每月数千至上万台)。 军事创新:每年批准和编入装备的新型号超1500种(截至今年9月已超1600种,其中超90%为本土制造)。开发周期已压缩至3–6个月(远快于其它国家传统国防体系)。 以上这份量,敢说乌克兰没牌? 眼下刚收复了红利曼的乌军,兵锋正步步紧逼,而步步后退的俄军,手中地盘已处于净流失状态,大后方还被狂轰滥炸,后勤压力比乌军大多了。这种情况狗叫什么乌克兰只能投降必须投降? 真是脑子锈逗了。

🇺🇸🇺🇦 THE UNITED STATES HAS BLOCKED EUROPE FROM TRANSFERRING PATRIOT MISSILES TO UKRAINE. EVEN THOSE ALREADY PAID FOR. EVEN THOSE EUROPE PROMISED YESTERDAY. Trump has not merely stopped American weapons deliveries, even when Ukraine and Europe are willing to pay. His administration has reportedly blocked European countries from transferring their own Patriot interceptors to Ukraine. Because these missiles are manufactured in the United States, their transfer to a third country requires Washington's approval. On Friday, October 16, following discussions with European leaders, President Volodymyr Zelensky stood in Brussels and explained that Europe possessed enough PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles to help Ukraine survive the winter. “All the leaders have this package,” he said. Ukraine was asking for the minimum necessary to survive another winter of Russian attacks. European leaders agreed to help. But on Monday, October 19, The Washington Post reportedly revealed that the Trump administration had not authorized the transfer. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had not signed the necessary approval. Understand what this means. We are not talking about new American missiles taken from Pentagon warehouses. We are talking about interceptors that Greece, Spain, and other European countries were reportedly prepared to release from their own military stockpiles. Weapons already purchased and paid for, waiting to be delivered. Why can't Europe simply hand them over? Because Patriot is an American weapons system, manufactured by companies including RTX and Lockheed Martin. Under American export regulations, transferring these weapons to another country generally requires Washington's authorization. This rule has always existed. But now, according to these reports, it is being used as a stranglehold. Ukraine has a critically limited supply of operational interceptors, and Trump knows it. A source in Kyiv reportedly told The Washington Post that even before the latest restrictions, monthly deliveries had fallen to just 12 missiles, approximately one-quarter of their previous volume. Meanwhile, Trump continues publicly humiliating Ukraine. “Maybe it's time for Zelensky to find somebody else to negotiate with,” he reportedly told journalists on Monday. Zelensky has become an obstacle for both Trump and Putin because he refuses to surrender his country's future. Some Western and even Ukrainian politicians are now suggesting that Zelensky should be more accommodating toward Trump, avoid upsetting Washington, and hope that weapons deliveries resume. This is astonishingly naive. Anyone who has experienced real intimidation understands that appeasing a bully does not necessarily make him stop. A gangster interprets concessions as weakness and immediately demands more. That is why Zelensky's firm response matters. Ukraine is an independent nation, not a helpless subordinate begging for permission to exist. Its president has every right to defend its sovereignty and dignity rather than submit to political intimidation. Hegseth does not sign the authorization. Trump suggests Ukraine needs another president. European-owned missile interceptors remain unable to move without American approval. And meanwhile, Russia continues killing Ukrainian civilians, including children. Putin deliberately attacks power substations and energy infrastructure as winter approaches, attempting to make entire cities uninhabitable. Without electricity, heating, or running water, hundreds of thousands of people could face life-threatening conditions. These missiles are not political bargaining chips. They are the difference between intercepting a Russian ballistic missile and watching another Ukrainian apartment building collapse with families inside. Europe is prepared to help. Ukraine desperately needs that help.And Washington's refusal to authorize these transfers,if confirmed, would carry consequences measured not merely in diplomatic disagreements, but in human lives.
