Van de Put believes that by continuing to do business in Russia, he is reducing the benefit that Russia could receive if the company exits Russia: "I'm wondering what happened to the companies that were sold, who got them and what they do with the money these companies generate? They all went to Putin's friends."
Oh please.

wonder if they'll spin this one as their own air defense shooting their planes down again since that is apparently less humiliating than admitting Ukraine is getting sneaky with driveby Patriot launches
also notice they just conveniently forgot about the IL-76 shootdown since they couldn't provide any actual proof of the supposed prisoners onboard

what even is that supposed to mean?
That everything is about Donald Trump to Donald Trump.

He's a malignant narcissist. He literally ticks every fucking box on the checklist.

Hell, they had to repeatedly put his name in briefings he received because it's the only way to keep him paying attention. To briefings. Presidential fucking briefings.

Kind of cautious about getting my hopes up on this one, feels like we've been on the brink of the final hurdle being cleared for over a year now.

But yeah, about damn time.

Putins vision for Russias next 6 years: Keep fighting, quit drinking, have babies
Russian president makes quasi-campaign speech, two weeks before an election he is certain to win.
The Kremlin promised entertainment.
Western analysts feared Vladimir Putin would declare another war.
But the Russian presidents more than two-hour-long address on Thursday delivered on neither expectation, though Putin presented Russians with a vision of the future that alternated between nuclear saber-rattling and grand social promises.
Speaking two days after Frances President Emmanuel Macron said the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine could not be excluded, Putin warned that NATO involvement on the ground in Ukraine could have tragic consequences.
They should understand that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory. All this threatens to result in a nuclear conflict, and therefore the destruction of civilization. Dont they get that? Putin asked an audience made up of Russias political, religious and military elite.
He then accused Western leaders of treating the war in Ukraine which Putin unilaterally escalated by launching a full-scale invasion in February 2022, shaking Europes security architecture to its core like watching a cartoon.
Coming roughly two weeks before Putin is set to extend his rule for another six years in a presidential election of which the results are a foregone conclusion, the speech was as close to an electoral campaign as he is willing to get.
In the run-up to Thursdays address, the main intrigue had been whether he would use the opportunity to fuel tension in Moldovas eastern breakaway region of Transnistria, which borders Ukraine and has a largely pro-Russian population. Russia has around 1,500 troops stationed in Transnistria, which it refers to as peacekeepers.
Moscow officials in recent weeks have ramped up their rhetoric about the need to protect Russian citizens in Transnistria, in an ominous echo of the build up to Russias full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Adding to concerns the Kremlin could expand its war westwards, Transnistrian officials on Wednesday gathered in a so-called congress of deputies, the first since 2006, and asked Russia to help it withstand economic pressure from the pro-EU government in Chiinu.
On Thursday, Putin did not mention Transnistria explicitly, but dismissed reports that Russia was planning to attack Europe or that it would deploy nuclear weapons in space as some kind of nonsense.
Instead, he accused the West of trying to trick Russia into a Soviet-style arms race which would sink its economy, while simultaneously boasting about Moscows weapons arsenal.
Showing no intention of backing down on Ukraine, Putin reiterated the claim that Russia had not started the war, but added it would do everything to eradicate Nazism, to defend the sovereignty of our citizens.

https://www.politico.eu/article/emmanuel-macron-ukraine-western-troops-remarks/
PARIS French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said his refusal to rule out the prospect of sending Western troops to Ukraine was intentional, despite the uproar it has provoked.
Macron swept aside the barrage of criticism he has faced in France and on the international stage and insisted his statements on Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression against Ukraine were carefully thought out.
"These are sufficiently serious issues; every one of the words that I say on this issue is weighed, thought through and measured," Macron told reporters on the sidelines of a visit to the 2024 Olympic village near Paris. But he refused to answer any further questions on the topic.
On Monday, Macron said after a leaders' conference on support for Kyiv that there was "no consensus" on sending ground troops to Ukraine in an "official manner," but that "nothing was excluded."
The prospect of sending Western troops to Ukraine was rejected by other NATO members, including the U.S., U.K. and Germany, and sharply criticized by French opposition parties, but not dismissed by Estonia and Lithuania. French officials also downplayed Macron's comments, pointing to activities such as demining and arms production which might involved a Western presence in Ukraine.
The speaker of Russias lower house of parliament even warned Macron against sending troops to Ukraine, saying they would meet the same fate as Napoleons army.

History lesson: Just as US has supported Israel for decades, Russia has provided money and weapons to all of its enemies, b/c the Middle East is a Cold War proxy war in the end. Israel gradually tried to establish relations w/ Russia to tamp down that threat (no different than Germany or most of Europe did for cheap gas, before the board's antisemites use that as an excuse to go on a tirade). And yes, it also helped that they had/have conservative leaders who find Putin's policies appealing (no different than in the US).
That included avoiding being too hostile to Russia after the Ukraine invasion and avoiding selling/donating them weapons.

But Putler has severely miscalculated and thrown his lot firmly in w/ the terrorists, and now it's going to bite him in the ass. Israel seems poised to give Ukraine the Iron Dome, and with western funding to ramp up production, they will be a game changer in shooting down the Shaheed terror drones made by terrorist state Iran.

We just need Dems to win decisively this fall so Putin's Favorite Helpers can't obstruct anymore, and we can turn the tide. Together.

Israel has had close relations with Russia for the last few decades because Russia sells it a lot of fossil fuels. I was surprised to learn that because Russian society is probably the most antisemitic on earth and has been for centuries.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/trump-wont-give-money-ukraine-if-elected-says-hungarys-orban-2024-03-11/

Former U.S. leader Donald Trump will not give money to help Ukraine fight Russia if he wins the presidency again and that will hasten an end to the war, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said after meeting him.

"He will not give a penny into the Ukraine-Russia war and therefore the war will end," Orban told state television late on Sunday. "As it is obvious that Ukraine on its own cannot stand on its feet."

I dont think Trump understands that he has no say on if money goes to Ukraine even if he was president.

He doesnt have Putins protections either, so it wouldnt surprise me if Trump was removed from power quickly for national security worries.

and Im still surprised Putin hasnt fallen out of a window yet, but I guess if he did, there would no one wanting take credit for that to avoid world war 3
