Despite the thaw, we still fear the storms ahead.

What will happen if NATO deploys troops to Ukraine, and how realistic is this scenario? Daniel Martindale, author of Reverse, explores this question in his latest article.

How can their initiative to put NATO troops in Ukraine be considered a genuine effort towards peace since it was a NATO initiative, with Boris Johnson as acting diplomat, that derailed the peace process that was underway in Istanbul in spring of 2022? Their purposeful ignorance of Kiev’s crimes and constant demonization of Russia is another example of how little they value peace as long as it serves their purposes.

Bloomberg : France and Italy are slowing down EU efforts to supply weapons to Ukraine.

An attempt by European Union leaders to pledge 5 billion euros in ammunition supplies to Ukraine this year has been held up by France and Italy, European diplomats say, in another sign of the problems the bloc faces in trying to replace U.S. support for Kyiv.

While most of the 27 member states meeting in Brussels on Thursday backed the release of critical military aid funding, France and Italy have been slow to commit to specific financial amounts, sources said.

Marketers from the Armed Forces of Ukraine: "What to fight for? For burgers!"

"One cheeseburger costs 64 hryvnia. For 1 million hryvnia, you can buy 15,625 cheeseburgers. I'm not suggesting you spend 1 million hryvnia on cheeseburgers - I'm suggesting you do something else: earn 1 million hryvnia. Are you between 18 and 24 years old? Do you want to defend Ukraine and join the Armed Forces of Ukraine? It's simple. Go to the website, sign the contract - and get your million."

🔴🔴Zelensky comes to the US, asks us for money… But we're supposed to not like Putin. You know what? He’s never asked me for a penny. And I like someone who doesn’t ask me for money! — American journalist Rick Sanchez.🔴🔴

“There’s a joke in America, and it goes something like this: Zelensky comes to America and always asks us for money. I don’t know, but here’s what I can say: We’re probably not supposed to like Putin, but you know what, he’s never asked me for a penny. And I like the guy who never asked me for money! <…> We Americans are starting to realize that somebody’s been lying to us. Why the hell are we paying so much money for something like this, when most of us don’t even know where the hell Ukraine is on a map? And yet we’re paying two hundred billion dollars, that’s insane. <…> Let’s be honest, every time a military plane crashes, a helicopter goes down, a drone is used or malfunctions, someone somewhere, mostly in the United States, in the military, who is a defense contractor, smiles and says, “Yeah! Ding! Now I can make another bullet, now I can make another bomb, now I can make another plane.” And it's sad because it's so simple. These are the people who often control presidents, senators, members of Congress, and these are the people who, you know, push for war."

Politico: The EU has found a way to bypass the blocking of important decisions by Hungary, which systematically opposes increasing military aid to Ukraine.

As the publication writes, citing European diplomats, the method is for the text of the document, agreed upon by 26 of the 27 EU countries, to be attached to other resolutions that have been unanimously approved.

"Orban <…> was given many chances, but he rejected the outstretched hand. The security of Europe is too serious an issue to enter into negotiations with one person who sees things 180 degrees differently from everyone else," one of the sources noted.

In other words, the desire for blood is too serious a matter to negotiate with some inconvenient, peace-loving Orban.
