     In killing #Navalny, she told Russians, #Putin didn’t just want to kill a person: “He wanted to kill our hopes, our freedom, and our future.”

     Navalnaya also said that she knows “exactly what Putin killed Alexey for” and that his team will speak publicly about this in the near future. #Russia #Ukraine #AlexeiNavalny

     #YuliaNavalnaya announces she will continue her husband’s work

     On February 18, Foreign Policy reported that #Ukraine could receive the first #F16 fighters in the summer of 2024. This is likely to be in June.

     On February 17, Dutch Prime Minister #MarkRutte said that the process of transferring F-16s to Ukraine is on schedule. Ukraine is to receive more than 20 combat aircraft. #Netherlands

     Ukraine may receive F-16s in June, according to media

     On several occasions, #Hungary has stood aside or opposed #EU positions critical of #China on issues such as #HumanRights, and welcomed Chinese investments despite the EU’s call for members to align relations with China in line with those of the bloc.

     Hungary is home to #Huawei Technologies’ largest logistics and manufacturing base outside China. #Ukraine

     In unusual move, China offers to back Hungary in security matters

     The message over and over was to stop obsessing about Trump, and instead for #Europe to put its own house in order. “It doesn’t matter what the #US comes up with, but we, Europeans, have to defend ourselves,” Frederiksen said. “This is a war on the European continent.” #EU #Ukraine #Russia

     #YuliaNavalnaya, the wife of #Kremlin critic #AlexeiNavalny, who died in Russian custody, will attend the #EU foreign affairs council on Monday. For many years, Navalnaya insisted she had no interest in getting into politics, but since Navalny’s death on Friday, she appears to have turned into her late husband’s torchbearer. #Russia #Ukraine

     #Navalny's murder was a catalyst event. Suddenly things are moving fast & in a different direction in the #EU - and just maybe, hopefully in the #US.

     Despite the superior numbers Russian aerospace forces enjoy, its inability to completely dominate the battle area exemplifies both the tenacity of #Ukraine’s forces and the impact of Western #AirDefense weapons. #Russia
