🇺🇸🇪🇺⚡ General Alexus Grynkewich, Supreme Allied Commander Europe:

We know how we will fight if war breaks out. And we know that we will win.
And together we will ensure a situation in which any adversary who contemplates attacking our alliance arrives at the only important conclusion: today is not the day.

We will monitor the situation to determine whether an attack is being prepared, which will give us time to assess the situation and rapidly move our forces.

At the same time, we aim to deter the adversary. But these redeployments also allow us to prepare to repel any potential attacks, including those aimed at seizing and holding territory within NATO's area of responsibility.

If we are attacked, we are ready to fight tonight, but we do not feel safe.

We will continue to prepare and conduct exercises every day, and we will be even more ready tomorrow, and even more so the day after.

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡️ — The EU paid Russia $250 billion for oil - Trump

The EU has paid Russia $250 billion for oil, but the fake news media doesn't even want to touch this topic. I made the right choice in the interests of the American people - AMERICA FIRST.

Europe, by buying oil from Putin, has paid more than it allocated to Ukraine in a year.

🇫🇷🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡ I think there can be no reopening on energy matters unless there is a genuine ceasefire on both sides.

I have not seen any energy ceasefire on the Russian side over the past 48 hours.

We all need to be serious. Today, we have absolutely no factual reason to change our position. Russia continues to bomb both civilians and infrastructure in Ukraine.

— French President Emmanuel Macron.

🇺🇸🇵🇱⚡ NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe Alexus Grynkewich said establishing a permanent US military base in Poland would take years because the necessary infrastructure must be built first.

In an interview with Polish TV channel TVP World, Grynkewich said the timeline would depend on how long it took to build the necessary infrastructure.
