We welcome Washington's decision to pave the way for sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.

Now, we will further discuss the subject with our European partners, Wopke Hoekstra, Dutch Foreign Minister, via X.

The government has said several times that a donation is a natural next step after training.

We are discussing it with close allies, and I expect we will soon be able to be more concrete about that, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen, Danish Defense Minister, to news agency Ritzau.

Rasmussen warns ceasefire first could prolong Ukraine war

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, former NATO Secretary General, says linking security guarantees for Ukraine to a ceasefire risks extending the conflict. He says: “If we make security guarantees dependent on an end to the Russian attacks on Ukraine, the war will continue. We are giving Putin an incentive to continue the war to avoid western security guarantees to Ukraine.” Report by Covellm.

$825 Million Arms For Ukraine! Trump’s BIGGEST Revenge Against Russia Yet? | Ukraine War Latest

The United States has approved an $825 million arms package for Ukraine, marking its hardest response yet to Russia’s brutal strike on Kyiv that killed 19 civilians, including four children. The deal, announced by the Trump administration, includes 3,350 extended-range missiles, GPS systems, spare parts, and training support. Funding will be shared between NATO allies Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, alongside U.S. foreign financing. Officials declared the sale a vital step to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses while signaling Washington’s resolve against Moscow’s escalating war. The move follows two July deals totaling over $650 million in aid, covering armored vehicles, air defense, and artillery support. With peace talks collapsing after Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin, this deal underscores a shift from negotiations to hard power. Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Putin “breaks every promise” and only responds with missiles, as the U.S. arms Kyiv for a long and dangerous war. #Trump #Ukraine #Putin #KyivAttack #ArmsSale #UkraineWar #Russia #Missiles #Zelensky #NATO #DefenseDeal #WarEscalation #EuropeCrisis #MilitaryAid #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #UkraineRussiaWar #GlobalConflict #PeaceTalksCollapse #WeaponsSale ~HT.318~ED.194~

Trump’s New Greenland Plot Revealed! Demark Accuses Trump Of Planning To Seizing Greenland [Video]

Trump’s New Greenland Plot Revealed! Demark Accuses Trump Of Planning To Seizing Greenland

Denmark has summoned the US envoy after explosive reports claimed individuals linked to Donald Trump secretly pushed for a secessionist movement in Greenland. According to Denmark’s national broadcaster, operatives tied to Trump tried to infiltrate Greenlandic society, recruit locals, and stir anti-Denmark sentiment to push the Arctic island closer to Washington. One alleged operative even compiled lists of critics and potential pro-Trump supporters in Greenland, while others forged links with politicians and business leaders. Denmark, which rules Greenland as a self-governing territory, called the reported interference “unacceptable” and “very serious.” The revelation revives tensions dating back to 2019 when Trump openly offered to buy Greenland, claiming it was vital for US security. Copenhagen strongly rejected that idea. Now, with accusations of a covert CIA-backed operation, relations between Denmark and the US face one of their most dramatic tests in decades. #Trump #Greenland #Denmark #CIA #USPolitics #BreakingNews #GreenlandSecession #DonaldTrump #Geopolitics #DenmarkNews #USNews #CIAOperation #Arctic #TrumpControversy #MetteFrederiksen #LarsLokke #TrumpGreenland #DenmarkUS #GreenlandCrisis #WorldNews

‘We Cannot Be…’ NATO Chief Fumes As Russia’s DEADLY Strike Kills 19 Ukrainians In Kyiv | Ukraine War

NATO Chief Mark Rutte, has delivered a stark warning to the West after Russia’s latest deadly strikes on Kiev. Speaking in Brussels, Rutte declared: “We cannot be naive about Russia,” emphasizing that Moscow remains an existential threat to European security. His words come as Ukrainian officials report heavy damage from missile and drone barrages across the capital, killing civilians and crippling infrastructure. Rutte, set to take over NATO leadership, is pushing allies to maintain unity and step up military support for Ukraine, warning that hesitation only strengthens the Kremlin. The statement signals a hardening Western stance amid growing concerns that Russia is expanding its long war strategy while testing NATO’s resolve. With Ukraine’s battlefield struggles and internal political rifts in Europe and the US, Rutte’s message is clear: NATO cannot afford illusions when facing Moscow’s aggression. #NATO #Rutte #Russia #Ukraine #Kiev #Moscow #War #Putin #Zelensky #Security #Brussels #NATOAlliance #Europe #Geopolitics #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #GlobalSecurity #MilitarySupport #NATOWarning #RussiaThreat ~HT.178~ED.102~GR.122~

A visible rift between the U.S. and Europe emerged as President Trump skipped the welcome for top EU leaders, leaving Ursula von der Leyen, Emmanuel Macron, Keir Starmer, and NATO’s Mark Rutte without a presidential greeting. Instead, Chief of Protocol Monica Crowley received them. The snub comes amid growing disagreements over Ukraine, as Trump pushes for a land swap deal while Europe remains firm against territorial concessions.
