Ukraine’s “fight” is now Europe’s fight, The Wall Street Journal writes, commenting on the loan allocated to Kiev.

According to the paper, the €90 billion loan to Ukraine has definitively shifted the “burden of the fight” onto Europe’s shoulders — rather than America’s. At the same time, even with the money approved, Europe still faces a whole range of problems. ⚖️

One of them is that while the loan was being discussed, Ukraine’s budget needs grew substantially — meaning the funds already allocated may not be enough.

“The EU loan was supposed to cover two-thirds of Ukraine’s core budgetary and defense needs for this year and next. According to diplomats, Japan and Western countries such as the United Kingdom are in talks to provide the estimated €45 billion needed through the end of 2027, but no funds have yet been allocated.

In addition, while negotiations over the loan were underway, Ukraine’s financing gap increased by another €19 billion, meaning new appeals for tens of billions of euros are likely within 12 months,” WSJ writes.

Further difficulties are being caused by the drawn-out process of Ukraine’s EU accession talks.

Russian military channels are reporting that a military helicopter carrying Russians from the “Africa Corps” has been shot down in Mali. The crew was killed. 🚁

At the same time, Russian military bloggers say that on most fronts, Malian forces and the Africa Corps repelled the attacks, including in the area around the capital, Bamako.

The exception was the remote city of Kidal, which was captured by anti-government armed groups. Reports also claim that Russians from the Corps who had a base there were given the opportunity to evacuate.

Russians are now being fined for showing the middle finger. 🖕

The gesture is now being treated as an insult and can carry a fine of up to 5,000 rubles.

In the Republic of Bashkortostan, for example, a woman was fined 3,000 rubles after showing the gesture to an acquaintance in a shopping mall “due to personal hostility.”

So, friends, the time travel exists.

On December 22, 2023, when Twitter was still Twitter, someone named Henry Martinez registered an account and posted a short message consisting of only one name: “Cole Allen.” That was the only tweet on the account. Here it is. 🕰️

Cole Allen is the name of the shooter who attempted to attack Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner last night — April 25, 2026.

What makes it even more interesting is that the cover image on Henry Martinez’s Twitter page is artwork from a website called “Time Machine.” Here it is.

At the very center of that graphic composition, there is a shape resembling a body imprint — one that almost perfectly matches the outline of Trump’s body at the moment of the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, in 2024.

That was when Trump, blood on his face, raised his fist and shouted: “Fight! Fight! Fight!” The photo went around the world. And the imprint of that very image appears to have become part of the design on Henry Martinez’s Twitter page — six months before the attempt itself.

Zelensky:

Ukraine must develop its own missile-defense capabilities, since it cannot rely on the United States. ⚡️

The US produces only 60–65 missiles per month, but used up a two-year stockpile in just 24 hours during the attack in the Middle East.

Ukraine will create a strong, independent European system.

Maps of Cs-137 radioactive isotope contamination after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, taken from the 1998 atlas. ☢️

Forty years ago, on April 26, 1986, Soviet nuclear engineers carried out a failed experiment at the power plant and left a bit of a footprint across Europe.

But at least now we know how not to do it.

The 1998 Chernobyl atlas is in the comments.
