"Ukraine supports a ceasefire, and it is important that Russia supports it as well." "We are waiting for details from the American side. As far as we are concerned, Ukraine always fully stands behind steps that lead to de-escalation, protection of human lives, and decisions necessary to end the war and establish lasting peace," said Volodymyr Zelensky after Trump's announcement, adding that he had already spoken with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. #Ukrajina #Trump #primirje (translated)

Roy, who described himself as a politically right-leaning former member of the VVD, wrote that he no longer knew who to vote for. He excluded a populist party on the right and even mentioned considering PRO, although that didn't make economic sense and wasn't logical for him personally. According to him, the party members were at least honest and human. Roy wrote that he had previously found Jesse Klaver weak and unconvincing, but that he now made a different impression: Klaver was, in his opinion, substantively strong and seemed to be developing leadership qualities. Roy also stated that Mark Rutte had called for people to look out for one another upon his departure, while the VVD under Dilan Yesilgöz did the opposite according to him. Yesilgöz, according to Roy, had ruined much for her party, although he found her good on Defense and previously on Justice and Security. According to Roy, PRO was precisely a party that paid attention to others. As an example, he mentioned the Self-Podcast by Sander Schimmelpenninck and Jaap Reesema featuring Lisa Westerveld. He claimed Westerveld dedicated herself day and night to underprivileged Dutch citizens. In the podcast, he also heard how demotivating work in the House of Representatives could be: requested debates from Westerveld sometimes did not make it to the agenda, while the right-wing majority preferred to debate asylum again. When a topic made the news, politicians were, in his opinion, always at the front. Roy wrote that the world would be a better place with more people like Westerveld. #politiek #VVD #Nederland (translated)

Dr. Gert Jan Mulder wrote that the phone traffic between European leaders was, according to him, in full swing, but that Merz, Rutte, von der Leyen, Burnham, Kallas, Jette, and Meloni could not come up with a solution. He used a derogatory nickname for Zelensky and claimed that he was depressed and upset, with a blood pressure of over 200, and that no remedy was helping anymore. Mulder wrote that the end was near and that the coalition of willing countries had, according to him, completely failed. The hundreds of billions of euros in European aid had yielded nothing, except for some hundreds of bank accounts of those involved being padded. #Europa #Politiek #Crisis (translated)

Arno Wellens wrote that the breaking of sanctions, according to him, resulted from a personal deal between Rutte and Putin. He claimed that the Ministry of Defense was aware of this but disregarded it to paint a frightening picture. According to Wellens, the sanction evasion took place through multiple 020 companies, including at Herikerbergweg 88. https://t.co/6ZxzuzTkYS #sancties #Rutte #Poetin (translated)

Symphony mocked Dilan Yesilgöz and wrote that she had officially declared Russia an enemy. According to unconfirmed reports in the mail, she had attempted to invade Russia with three VVD brochures, a bicycle pump, and an inflatable Leopard tank. Mark Rutte reportedly asked from Brussels if someone could remove her batteries, while Vladimir Putin, according to Symphony, sat under his desk in the Kremlin out of fear. The author compared Yesilgöz to Napoleon and Rambo and suggested that a press conference from her would even make peace doves ask for bulletproof vests. Symphony also contrasted the alleged ambition to conquer Moscow with what the author described as the VVD's inability to get the Netherlands in order. #DilanYesilgöz #politiek #VVD (translated)

Such a position is advocated by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who recently reminded that although there are currently no signs that Russia is preparing a conventional attack on the member states of the Alliance, Europe must remain constantly prepared for hybrid attacks backed by Vladimir Putin's regime. #NATO #Rusija #obrana (translated)
