First Putin came for the Chechens & I didn't speak out—because I was not a Chechen.
Then Putin came for the Syrians & I didn't speak out—I was not a Syrian.
Then Putin came for the Ukrainians, & I didn't speak out...
Then Putin came for me—& there was no one left to speak for me.
The Allies must give
#Ukraine
all the means (notably long-range missiles) to strike the Russian naval base at
#Sevastopol
in occupied Crimea. This is where the missiles that hit
#Odessa
originated.
Any 🇷🇺 military center is not only a legitimate target, but also a necessary one.
Superb.
After elections rigged by the pro-Kremlin Vucic, the Serbian people take to the streets en masse to demand freedom, rule of law, end to corruption and a European future.
No, it's not Western manipulation, as Vucic & Moscow proclaim, just a taste for freedom.
Like Maidan.
Not yet confirmed, but possible that
#Ukraine
will obtain French
#Mirage2000D
, for which Ukrainian pilots have already been trained.
I hope this will be soon.
It's high time allied countries delivered fighters.
Decisive to strike Russia in the depth.
As those of you who have been following me for some time know, April 30 is a special day for me.
On that day in 1945, the

It's time for the democratic leaders to understand that the fate of the world depends on the radical defeat of
#Russia
, beyond all historical differences, for reasons quite similar to those which made the destiny of the post-1945 world depend on the surrender of Hitler's Germany.
Diplomacy and blah blah blah.
No, Mr.
@antonioguterres
, you have to learn not to shake hands with criminals against humanity.
Diplomacy never works with terrorist states. Would you have shaken hands with Al-Qaeda, ISIS or Hamas leaders?
International law matters.
So does dignity.

@Bundeskanzler
's refusal not to deliver
#Taurus
to
#Ukraine
has resulted in thousands more Ukrainian deaths.
We have to put bluntly.
More and more pressure in🇩🇪 on him to stop his murderous stubbornness.
Taurus are decisive in striking the enemy in depth.
Gen. Petreaus says what I and others have been stating for over a year.
Staying halfway, delivering weapons in dribs and drabs, uttering "as long as it takes", evoking "negotiations on Ukraine's terms" are guilt before history.
OUR war aim must be clear: to defeat Russia.
Period.
In our military doctrine, to break through the kind of defenses we see in southern
#Ukraine
, you need an air advantage, and much more. We did not provide that to the Ukrainians," former CIA chief Gen. David Petraeus said in an interview with the BBC
The military criticized the…
My mother, who joined the armed Resistance against Nazism at the age of 20 & was deported to Ravensbruck, used to say to me: "We knew we were fighting absolute evil".
Today, in their struggle against Putin's regime, Ukrainians are fighting absolute evil & the embodiment of crime.
It's high time the Allies got serious, for the sake of Ukraine & the South, and enforced law of the sea.
Ships from
@NATO
countries, incl. Turkey, France, UK, US, must escort vessels leaving Ukrainian ports.
If attacked, these countries could trigger art. 5.
Let's stop dithering.
Today's 🇷🇺 terrorists' attack on Odesa proves that their target is not only 🇺🇦, and not only the lives of our people. About a million tons of food is stored in the ports that were attacked today. This is the volume that should have been delivered to consumer countries in Africa…
If we had wanted to, we democracies could have already defeated
#Russia
in
#Ukraine
.
We could have saved tens of thousands of lives.
An inconvenient truth, no doubt, but a truth.
Deal with it.
Period.
Never forget that Russia's total defeat in Ukraine and elsewhere is and remains the absolute priority.
Much of the rest ultimately depends on this.
Period.
I say it again, with gravity and weighing my words.
The governments who haven't sent enough weapons to Ukraine—tanks, long-range missiles, fighter jets—have an eminent responsibility for the death of every Ukrainian.
Those who block them have deaths on their consciences.
Period.
I am tired of seeing some people saying that the choice is between a long war and negotiation.
I think that they have understood neither what is at stake nor what our strategy should realistically be (nor the nature of the Russian regime and of this war itself).
1/2
When my mother entered the Resistance against Nazis in 1940 -she was 20-, she had the absolute conviction she was fighting against absolute evil. It must be entirely defeated.
The civilized world is facing the same reality now: Putin's regime must be defeated for our common sake.
My regular reminder that there could be no negotiation, peace deal and compromise with
#Russia
.
When a state perpetrates such systematic crimes against humanity, it should be fully defeated, and all the instigators and executioners brought to court.
There is no middle way.
today's arrival of a Russian rocket in the center of the town of Konstantinovka. Pharmacy, kiosks, shops... It is already known about 16 dead and many injured. I pray for the speedy recovery of the wounded!!!

This is the second time in the past 4 days that the
@nytimes
has published a completely staggering piece (I had already highlighted the first) suggesting negotiations with Russia and an abandonment of Ukrainian territories.
This is extremely problematic for this newspaper...
Mr. Medvedev, The Hague is waiting for you.
Alcohol is not an excuse.
No one will have impunity.
Meanwhile, you are an idiot: the trick lacks subtlety.
Let's repeat it with the utmost force: the massive
#warcrimes
of Putin's army in
#Mariupol
and
#Bucha
carry an absolute duty for the Western powers: to act so that the Ukrainian forces quickly regain full control of the whole
#Ukraine
.
Not to do so is to accept new massacres.
Once and for all, there's no presidential election in Russia.
Putin is not its legitimate president, but a petty criminal wanted by 124 polices around the world after his indictment for war crimes by ICC.
The democratic leaders should not recognize this mocked election results.
This is exactly what we need to do: target Russia's military, logistics and energy infrastructures. It also shows the technological prowess of the Ukrainians.
The Allies must, I repeat, help Ukraine to strike Russian soil. This is legal under Art. 51 of the UN Charter.
A lot of Russian oil getting burnt today. Russian state media report a fire tore through Ryazan oil refinery (1st pic), Russia’s third-largest, on Friday. Also, a
#Ukraine
drone started a huge fire in oil storage tanks in the town of Klintsy in Russia’s Bryansk region (2nd pic).…
As was sadly expected, we have (at least) two Russian Trojan horses in the European Union: Orban's Hungary and Fico's Slovakia.
It's high time the EU's democracies took a radical stand.
We cannot allow EU members to support a criminal power.
.
Ose dire la présidente d'un parti qui a reçu un prêt d'une banque russe et qui est allée au Kremlin quémander le soutien du chef d'un État qui commet des crimes de guerre, envahit un pays voisin, viole le droit international et cherche à déstabiliser l'Europe et la France.
ISIS is a terrorist organization and must be defeated.
Russia is a terrorist state and must be defeated.
For the same reasons.
And let's not forget the facts: Putin's Russia has killed more civilians in Chechnya, Syria, Ukraine... than ISIS, Al-Qaeda and Hamas combined.
Period.
This image basically encapsulates what is happening in
#Ukraine
today and what we must do.
The only way to end the
#Russia
's war against Ukraine is to step up massively, decisively & swiftly the delivery of weapons to Kyiv in order to expel the Russian troops from Ukrainian soil.
The comparison haunts me.
@BarackObama
by not enforcing red lines in
#Syria
refused to save hundreds of 1000s of Syrians.
@POTUS
may have protected
#Ukraine
from the worst, but not giving all the weapons it needs costs tens of 1000s of lives.
In both cases, strategic failure too.
A constant reminder — some still refuse to see it — that the systematic bombing of hospitals, medical facilities and rescue workers is a common and well-documented Russian practice.
A systematic Russian war crime relentlessly at work for 23 years in Chechnya, Syria and Ukraine.
As in
#Ukraine
, Russia is still committing massive crimes against humanity in
#Syria
.
We must defeat and bring down Russia in these countries, and everywhere else in the world where it commits endless abuses.
For good.
Without Russia, the world will be a safer, more humane place.
The litmus test for the US and the EU is now, not tomorrow:
either we provide
#Ukraine
with all the military means to swiftly defeat
#Russia
, or we will be held guilty before history and humanity.
We cannot remain halfway neither morally nor—maybe more importantly—strategically.
Je ne pensais pas m'exprimer sur ces élections.
Mais je crois le danger suffisamment fort pour le devoir.
Que penser d'un pays - le mien - qui semble prêt à accorder presque 50% de votes à l'extrême droite ?
Nos valeurs & notre sûreté nationale sont en jeu.
Il faut battre Le Pen.
If confirmed, it's a major scandal, and
@antonioguterres
will have to resign.
This is tantamount to submitting to blackmail by Russia's criminal power and giving them what they want.
Incidental note: the system for selecting UN SGs leads to the appointment of weak personalities.
Guterres’ secret letter to Lavrov – on relieving sanctions. UN Secretary-General António Guterres has offered Russia sanctions relief in exchange for the Kremlin rejoining the grain deal.
Yes, we must prevent a long war to avoid tens of thousands of additional Ukrainian victims and the perpetuation of an existential threat to
#Ukraine
and its people.
But there is a solution for this, and only one: give all weapons and military support to Kyiv.
Period.

Please, read this.
"Dozens of children have been gunned down with small arms at close range. The murders were perpetrated by different Russian units in different regions of Ukraine... (with) "the same purpose – to induce terror."
#Russia
must be crushed.
Every time I see these images, either directly when I'm in Ukraine, or from further away, not only does my throat knot up, but I'm seized with an unspeakable anger.
How many deaths could we, the Allies, have prevented if we had given more weapons and, better still, intervened?
Lviv. The Field of Mars. We will never forget our heroes who fought for freedom and defended Ukraine! We remember the price of our freedom and independence.
Eternal glory to all who stood up for our state!
When will we understand that these Ukrainians killed by the Russians are our brothers and sisters?
That they are Europeans and our close friends—and first & foremost human beings.
That the guilt for letting them be murdered will weigh on our leaders' consciences forever—and ours.
🇺🇦 In Kyiv, the Wall of Remembrance of the Fallen for Ukraine is full.
It is full of so many lives lost.
Thousands of lives.
The world lost them as much as Ukraine did, and is poorer for it.
This is indeed a disgraceful move.
It has a terrible cost in terms of Ukrainian lives and is a major disastrous strategic sin.
The US could — and should — provide at least 200 or 300 ATCMS without depleting its stock.
Russia must be fully defeated: let's stop dithering.
It’s now been almost 40 days since ATACMS were first used by Ukraine (October 16). Where are the follow up attacks? It’s pretty clear that the Biden Administration is giving only very small numbers and making Ukraine wait. This is disastrous. Gives Russia plenty of time to adjust
In Germany, they had (notably) Schröder.
In Italy, they had (notably) Berlusconi and Salvini.
In the US, they had (notably) Trump.
In France, we had (notably) Sarkozy.

Massive Russian disinformation campaign targeting Germany on X through fake accounts.
It also exists in France and elsewhere in Europe and the US.
It's high time we took the threat seriously, but above all acted without restraint.
Let's go all-out!

Après le meurtre de

par le régime russe, le minimum, côté français, serait de fermer et de saisir le prétendu centre culturel orthodoxe russe Quai Branly, d'expulser l'ancien ambassadeur Orlov et de réduire de manière drastique les effectifs de l'ambassade 🇷🇺 en France.
To repeat it again, we democracies must have one overriding war aim: Russia's defeat.
This is the decisive war.
It must be total in Ukraine, but also in Syria, in African countries under its yoke, in Belarus, Georgia...
Any weakness would herald even more appalling days ahead.
Russia and Assad just dropped white phosphorus on residential neighborhoods in Idlib.
The international community is nowhere to be found of course, because it's Syria.
This is impressive.
The largest crowd ever in
#Georgia
is taking to the street to claim that freedom and the path to Europe are not negotiable.
Russia must have no say about Georgia's future. They must go.
Same fight in Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, Syria: Moscow must be defeated.
Absolute indignity of the Arab countries, which host the worst criminal against humanity (along with Putin & Bashir) of the 21st century.
The West no longer even protests.
Assad is responsible for a million deaths.
He murdered thousands of Palestinians in Yarmuk & in his prisons.
The dictator Bashar al-Assad will head to Saudi Arabia today to participate in the emergency Arab summit that discusses the situation in Gaza.
Yes, the war criminal Bashar al-Assad, who bombs and kills Syrians daily.
Bashar al-Assad is a war criminal and serial killer.
Je conçois que certains se sentent frustrés de ne pas avoir le sentiment d'avoir le choix.
Mais nous ne savons que trop comment le fascisme procède et ce qu'il amène, à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur.
Barrer la route à Le Pen n'est pas une option, mais un devoir absolu.
There's something rotten in the Republic of Austria.
The exemptions for sanctions on Russia within the European Union are unacceptable.
This money is being used for Moscow's genocidal war against Ukraine, which has claimed over 100,000 Ukrainian victims.
To the idiots/bastards who claim that we'll have to negotiate with Russia, we need to remind them of this.
Any victory, even a half-victory (or half-defeat) for Russia will mean more torture, summary executions, deportations.
Those who support this would be accomplices to crimes.
If russia loses the war, they'll return home. If Ukraine loses the war, the scale of genocide, atrocities, murders and tortures here would be unseen since WW2--multiply Bucha by thousands of times. Yet so many people in the West consciously choose to advocate for russia
A message to the press:
Never spread Kremlin's or Russian MFA/MoD communiques.
We must not care about what Russia says; on the contrary let's care about the facts.
If an information is not checked, do not mention it.
Think about the benefit Moscow could enjoy if you mention it.
Morally, pro-Russian propagandists in democracies are bastards because they refuse to acknowledge the Kremlin's massive crimes, or incite them.
Politically, they are enemies of their own country, as they pose a threat to its security. As such, they must be brought to justice.
Hamas terrorist attacks on the Israeli people are exploited by Moscow to divert attention from its daily crimes of genocide & against humanity in Ukraine.
We must keep our attention alert on all fronts, and speed up our arms deliveries to Kyiv.
Same strategy of terror everywhere.
❗ Russia continues its daily terror of Kherson. Tonight Russians shelled Kherson region with artillery and MLRS.
Eleven Kherson residents were injured, including a 27-year-old woman and her 9-month-old daughter, who were hospitalized.

I address my warm wishes first and foremost to the Ukrainian people.
May 2024 bring us victory and the defeat of our enemy.
My thoughts are with the families of the victims & those fighting at the front.
We owe them everything.
Winter won't last forever.
Mariupol will live again.
Humanity will never forget the hundreds of thousands of victims caused by Putin's regime and Russians.
No leader should ever write them off and dismiss them as if they were on the edge of history.
Just like those of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and the world's great criminals.
Dear Mr. Secretary:
Yes, but we Alllies are no match for the Ukrainian people.
We had the military means to totally defeat Russia and push it back, and—this must come first in our thoughts —to avoid the deaths of tens of thousands of Ukrainians.
We didn't.
The inconvenient truth.
Ukrainians have done what no one thought was possible: stood toe to toe with one of the biggest militaries, conceded no territory, and they pushed Russia’s navy back in the Black Sea and opened a corridor to allow them to export grain and other products to the world.
I feel the sound of defeatism in some minds. It's a well-known recipe of Russian propaganda.
I'm less worried about it affecting public opinion than certain governments' souls, which is the priority of said propaganda.
This is our war and we have to win it—by any possible means.
President
@ZelenskyyUa
is a (the) world leader who has an universalist idea of freedom and is committed to the security of his country and the free world.
He has made Ukraine gaining in legitimacy and honor day after day.
He is a strategic thinker.
In comparison, Bibi... Well...
💥Ukrainian President Zelensky has asked to pay a visit of solidarity to Israel, reports
@BarakRavid
. What a humiliation for Netanyahu, who has ignored all invitations to visit Kiyv.
I say it again in the most solemn way possible.
If any political leader were to undertake, any re-engagement with Putin's criminal regime, the seeking of concessions, the easing of sanctions and a return to business as usual, we would have to oppose it in the most determined way.
We've said it 100 times, the responsibility before history of Western leaders for not stopping Assad's and Putin's criminal frenzy in
#Syria
is immense.
The war crimes in Syria foreshadowed those committed by Russia in
#Ukraine
.
Not to have considered them is an unforgivable sin.

- freedom for Iran;
- intelligence, resolve, commitment to action for democratic leaders.
This night Ukrainians got a clear view of what we truly mean for the US.
We’re not allies, never have been.
We’re an inconvenience. An aberration in their view of geopolitics. A problem that just won’t solve itself.
We’ll keep resisting no matter what, but this really hurt.
The demand for freedom, justice & dignity will never stop.
Admiration for the Georgian people.
Let's be clear: Russia will keep the Georgian government under its thumb until it's defeated in 🇺🇦.
To win in Ukraine is also to win freedom in Georgia, Belarus, Syria and elsewhere.
It bears repeating: the only way to put an end to Putin's eternal war is to defeat Russia radically, first in Ukraine, then elsewhere.
As long as this regime exists, there is no hope of peace. There can be no lasting peace through illusory containment, but through total rollback.
🎯 The Putin regime doesn’t need or want land. It needs and wants war. Only military defeat will change Russia's behavior. If it doesn’t happen in Ukraine, it will happen further west at far greater cost. Ukraine winning is the only way to save us from more war.
I'm afraid I've the answer to this question—and I've been pondering it for over a year now.
The reality is that most of the Allies, at first the US, don't want Ukraine to win, don't want to save lives and have agreed to sacrifice tens of thousands of them.
A guilt before history.
US, UK, French airforces shoot down Iranian missiles & drones targeting Israel. Without having to hit Iran.
Why don’t we shoot down Russian drones and missiles penetrating Ukraine’s sovereign territory?
On the left, the only acceptable future.
On the right, the future promised by Russia.
If we, democracies, don't fight to total victory, let there be no doubt about who will win.
There is no middle ground.

Deutsch: “Was das Waffensystem betrifft, wird sich meine Entscheidung nicht ändern.“
The non-delivery of fighter jets and long-range missiles to

, not only is a matter of moral guilt and constitutes a strategic nonsense, but is also a flagrant disregard for international law.
Inaction is betrayal.

From the former president of Mongolia, this is the best and most subtle response to Putin's Russia's borderless and unrestrained imperialism.
Remember, too, that history offers no legitimacy; international law does.
Tous ces gens qui disent " je ne suis pas pro-Pourine", mais qui plaident pour une "solution" qui est exactement celle que le Kremlin souhaite et qui visent à provoquer dans l'opinion les effets qui rencontrent ses attentes sont, à mon sens, les plus indécents.
Every day, this guy sinks further and further into ignominy.
Mr.

Otherwise, start by respecting international law.

Since the beginning of the all-out war waged by Russia against Ukraine, I've named it a war of extermination.
Here we are! Russians are mining children's toys & books in order to exterminate them. This surpasses any level of imaginable cruelty.

Zelenskyy wanted to visit Israel as a sign of support, but the Israeli government refused to approve the visit. This is even though Zelenskyy was one of the first to call Netanyahu and call on world leaders to visit Israel to show support.

Lenin died on January 21, 1924, 100 years ago.
No room for nostalgia!
He was a criminal.
He founded the system of dictatorship and repression that Stalin turned into a totalitarian regime—and Putin after the fall of Communism.
The Soviet system was intrinsically an abomination.
OTD Oct. 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya was murdered by the Kremlin mafia, as a birthday present to the Cuppola boss.
She had told all about Putin's crimes and regime.
Western leaders looked the other way.
They could have prevented what we are witnessing today.
Forever their guilt.
Right stance of Ukraine and the Baltic States: the presence of war criminal Lavrov at the
@OSCE
meeting is intolerable.
The other member countries must leave the room and must not meet him.
Either Russia must be expelled or
@OSCE
dissolved or founded anew.
Deeply sorry to hear that.
@KajaKallas

The fact that some opposed her appointment speaks volumes, alas, about their present blindness and lack of resolve.
Sad to see Estonian PM Kaja Kallas withdrawing her candidacy for becoming the next NATO Secretary General. Apparently, she is viewed as “too hawkish on russia.” Maybe she is so hawkish because she knows exactly what kind of threat russia poses to the whole world.
