Amalia wrote that if diplomacy had developed differently in late 1940 or early 1941, the Soviet Union could have attacked Greece while it was fighting Italy. She argued that the German-Soviet pact did not define spheres of influence in the Balkans and that Stalin was particularly interested in Bulgaria. According to her post, on November 25, 1940, Soviet diplomat Arkady Sobolev conveyed a proposal for an alliance in Sofia. Amalia stated that the USSR offered Bulgaria military support in case of threat, support for its territorial claims in Greek areas, non-interference in its internal politics, and free grain and oil. In return, she claimed, it sought to establish naval and air bases in Varna and Burgas, while Stalin asked Hitler to recognize Bulgaria as part of the Soviet sphere of influence. Amalia argued that the Comintern, in a message signed by Georgi Dimitrov, called on the Bulgarian Communist Party to mobilize politicians and the public in favor of the proposal. She estimated that Soviet support for Bulgarian claims would require an ultimatum to Greece and, in the event of refusal, an invasion by Soviet and Bulgarian troops. In the post, Hitler prevented the agreement, warning of a potential Sovietization of Bulgaria and promising the Bulgarians the same Greek territories without war. Amalia noted that King Boris rejected the Soviet proposal and that Bulgaria joined the Axis in March 1941. #Ιστορία #ΕλληνοϊταλικόςΠόλεμος #ΣοβιετικήΈνωση (translated)

It is important for allies to continue to consult, to process how we could respond, and to ensure that they deliver a clear and concise message to the Russians regarding the red lines. The need for a clear and decisive stance against Moscow's "hybrid" threats was emphasized by the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), American General Christopher Cavoli, conveying that the West's "red lines" must be made absolutely clear to the Kremlin. #ΝΑΤΟ #Ρωσία #Ασφάλεια (translated)

Ukraine "will respond" if Russia does not respect the energy truce in winter, warned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky today after the shocking announcement yesterday, Sunday, by U.S. President Donald Trump regarding a "ceasefire" between Moscow and Kyiv in their attacks on energy infrastructure. #Ουκρανία #Ρωσία #ενεργειακήεκεχειρία (translated)

The High Representative of the EU, Kaija Kallas, announced new sanctions against 1,600 Russian targets and expressed doubts about Russia's compliance with the energy ceasefire in Ukraine, emphasizing the need for intensive pressure on Moscow to end the war. #Ρωσία #Εκβιασμός #Κυρώσεις (translated)

With immediate effect, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Both sides have agreed. Do not violate it! An "energy ceasefire," which Donald Trump presented as already agreed upon between Russia and Ukraine, but which Moscow has yet to accept, is at the center of a new diplomatic thriller, with Washington intensifying pressures on Volodymyr Zelensky to stop strikes against Russian refineries. #ενεργειακήεκεχειρία #Ρωσία #Ουκρανία (translated)

Ukraine is willing to stop attacks on Russian refineries if Moscow halts its own raids on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said today, noting that any steps to de-escalate the conflict must be mutual and implemented with real guarantees. #Ουκρανία #Ζελένσκι #Ρωσία (translated)

Amalia accused Russia of deliberately launching attacks against civilians in Ukraine, citing strikes on apartment buildings, schools, shopping centers, public transport, playgrounds, and bridges. She argued that most of the victims were Russian-speaking individuals in Eastern Ukraine and criticized those who, as she wrote, showed sensitivity towards Palestine and Iran in Greece, but not towards Ukrainians. Regarding the recent strikes, she mentioned that in Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast, 22 civilians were killed, including 5 children—three of them one year old—and 54 were injured. For Kramatorsk in Donetsk Oblast, she wrote that two city buses were attacked and 33 people were killed, while the number of injured remained unknown. She added that 9 people were also killed in Kyiv, 2 in Kremenchuk, 2 in Konotop, 2 in Oleksandriia, and 1 in Zaporizhzhia, raising the death toll of civilian casualties over the two days to 71, according to her. Regarding the negotiations with U.S. intervention, Amalia claimed that Zelensky was accepting a ceasefire with the troops in their current positions and was asking for guarantees from the West. She stated that pro-Russian separatist forces controlled 60% of Donetsk Oblast before the Russian invasion of 2022, that since then the Russian army had captured an additional 20%, and that it had not managed to capture the remaining 20%. She asserted that Putin did not want a ceasefire, but a peace agreement that would require Zelensky to go to Moscow, the demilitarization of Ukraine, a constitutional commitment not to seek EU or NATO membership, and the recognition of the territories occupied by Russia since 2014, including Crimea. She added that Russia was also demanding the surrender of the remaining 20% of Donetsk Oblast that it had not captured. Amalia compared the situation to Cyprus, where, as she wrote, since August 1974 a ceasefire had been in effect under UN supervision, without a permanent peace agreement, because Turkey demanded recognition of the loss of territories and the pseudostate. She concluded that Russia sought, in her view, the humiliation of Ukraine and not peace. #Ουκρανία #Ειρήνη #Πόλεμος (translated)
