Another passenger plane is lost in Russia.
This is the third since the war began. The other two were the Malaysia Airlines plane shot down over Ukraine and the Azerbaijan Airlines plane shot full of shrapnel over Grozny.
Can’t imagine why today’s plane would have been shot at considering it was in the Far East… but we’ll see.
Not sure why anyone would take the risk to fly to a Russian airport these days.

Interesting new content from @… on the two #RussiaUkraineWar summits this week. The outcome has not been a disaster for Ukraine.
One thing I would like to hear Anders’ take on is the seeming mounting suggestions of French/German soldiers being positioned in Ukraine. Likelihood in say, the next 6-12 months? What wartime conditions would be required? Where they would be? What they would do? What Russia's reaction would be? Would they be "NATO”?

Maybe it wasn’t a waste of time after all.
““We were able to win the following concession: That the United States could offer Article 5-like protection, which is one of the real reasons why Ukraine wants to be in NATO,” Witkoff told CNN’s “State of the Union.”
But the question is, what about the territory?

3 out of 7 recommended news stories are about Trump failing.
I would be happier about it if it did not imply Putin was winning. This is bad for everyone, but especially Ukraine.
Trump’s ego, fealty, and idiocy is going to destroy the world if Europe, the Global South, and other democratic nations don’t take the reins from the USA.

Who sets a “deadline” for “10 or 12” days?
The point of a deadline is it is a clear point in time that must be met or not met.
Trump is so incredibly spineless.

The last time a Russian jet entered the sovereign airspace of a NATO country this is what happened... this was a 17 second violation (after multiple warnings by Turkish forces to the Russian jet to change course)

This is….. FASCINATING... watching on CNN.com live.
Macron is talking, with Trump to his left facing the camera. Zelensky is on the other side of the table.... Starmer is Macron's right.
Macron: we need a "Credible Army”
EUs “own security is at stake"
to Trump: ”You can count on us, as we can count on you”
Starmer: “Article 5 style guarantees”
"A historical step could be taken”
“Trilateral meeting seems a sensible next step”

Now THIS is interesting.
Christia Freeland, Minister of Transport and Internal Trade, posing for a photograph holding a Ukrainian made drone in a Ukraine factory.
Smells like a case of “we’re gonna give you this one job for internal politics, but you can still do XYZ on the side that you’re actually good at.”

Whoa. Didn't have this on the bingo card. It puts the meeting with dad a few days ago, and the meet between staff people a couple weeks before, in a much different light.
A "working royal" probably could not do this, let alone the King, but Harry, especially with his military past, makes a lot of sense to be there on behalf of the royal family even if officially he isn't.
King Charles definitely sends different messages than his mother.

Ukraine needs to be part of the EU 🇪🇺 and NATO to guarantee its security and prosperity.
So say Bosnia Herzegovina 🇧🇦 Croatia 🇭🇷 Albania 🇦🇱 Greece 🇬🇷 Moldova 🇲🇩 North Macedonia 🇲🇰 Romania 🇷🇴 Slovenia 🇸🇮 Montenegro 🇲🇪 and of course Ukraine 🇺🇦.
As a proud citizen of Canada🇨🇦 and Spain 🇪🇸 I agree.
The full statement is interesting. It is here (I used Safari’s translate function to read it in English)

Canada should be at the forefront here holding up our own TRC report that called us out for cultural genocide. We must atone for that act (and the many ways it continues today). That is what happens when you abduct and try to brainwash children into your way of society. Russia must be held accountable as well.

This ends up being a really interesting read about the challenges of a country to fight corruption while it tries to achieve everything it needs to do become part of the EU.
Moldova and Ukraine started the process together 2022. Imagine if they could actually achieve it together in 2028!
