A truly excellent paper by the Estonian Defense Ministry on a military strategy for Ukraine’s victory and Russia’s defeat. This should be the joint Western strategy (which so far is missing).https://t.co/xFIMKnyCUZ

The European Union and the United States have shown growing differences on how to end the war in Gaza, as the EU foreign ministers called for a “sustainable ceasefire” and urged Israel to stop its “disproportionate” attacks on civilians.
The US, on the other hand, vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that demanded an immediate humanitarian truce, and reiterated its support for Israel’s right to self-defense.
The EU’s stance contrasted with that of the US, which has been blocking any UN action that would pressure Israel to halt its offensive.
Das ist eindeutig keine Überraschung, über die ich mich freue. Meine aktuellen Covid-19-Tests zeigen zwei Striche. Bei wenig Symptomen baue ich auf einen milden Verlauf und arbeite erstmal nur vom Schreibtisch aus.
