Political advisor for S&D at the European Parliament, doing mainly security and defence. Here on a personal capacity, as one should, and mostly to drop interesting reads. Ще не вмерла України і слава, і воля 🇺🇦 👊🇪🇺🔥
Nem sempre há um livro em português que explica o detalhe das manchetes internacionais, mas neste caso até há Está lá tudo sobre o mecanismo americano e o mecanismo Europeu, ainda por implementar
Fuel tank vs T-72 tank is the ultimate duel of this new Olympic discipline
Was lucky enough to have visited last October. A gorgeous proof of Ukraine’s long, deep history. I think @timothysnyder.bsky.social makes the case in his lectures that the equivalents to Renaissance and Reformation/counter in Russia were born around here, so it’s normal for Putin to try to erase it

Just bumped into very inspiring youngsters protesting the stolen elections by their pro-Russian government in Batumi. One of the songs playing was, of course, the Ukrainian anthem
A wonderful Armenian church next to the Iranian border (that’s Iran across the river in the first picture)
Spotted in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, a great metaphor for politics in 2025
Also, very important paragraphs for those having to spend 5% GDP on defence:
Conclusions: too early to say, and AI is significantly different from other areas where China snatched tech/industrial leadership.
Mixed record on export controls’ ability to curb access to compute power
This paragraph is about the XX century “Thirty Years’ War”, as Hrytsak calls the period between 1914 and 1945 in Ukraine, where one can’t really talk about interwar, as violence and occupation never seem to stop. It should not remind us of the present state of affairs, and yet…
