“A new international F-16 fighter jet squadron staffed by Ukrainian, US and Dutch pilots has been assembled in Ukraine. The western pilots, who are working under temporary contracts, are helping the Ukrainian pilots to master the aircraft’s technical advantages.”
But they are also coordinating and participating in (flight) missions. So not only training it seems.


Agreed, but note that some days ago FT published an article titled " Zelenskyy planning elections in Ukraine and vote on peace deal".


You mean something like on Matrix.org?


fealty to be able to be a traitor I would say.
Yes, legally being a traitor is another matter, and very complex. It’s a rabbit hole. Thankfully, you know what I mean though.
And even if he legally was a a traitor, considering the current US Admin and his immense wealth, he’d probably never go to court. Justice isn’t blind.


(* sorry But…) by involving himself with far-right he’s a traitor to American & European democracies. By choosing money instead of lives, he’s a traitor to humanity and morality.
*Ed: sry my 1st response was perhaps a bit strong. I really dislike Musk.


As if Musk couldn’t have done that from day one, fucking traitor.
Relatively there are less US users here compared to Reddit (“only” 50%). Seems the whole demographics is different too.
Good point regarding the differences in content or user driven apps. Hadn’t thought of that.
It would be good to have comparable info on trends numbers and such.
Edit : quick search for reddit analysis I can’t verify the legitimacy of this page.
But it states that in 2025 they had 116 million unique daily visitors, compared to 1360 million monthly users. That’s i like a 1 to 12 ratio for daily & monthly users. This is just one contextual example(#E).
@gandalf-der-12te. Trying to interpret your post.
Do you have any comparable data, from other other apps? stuff like engagement %, daily, monthly users and such?
Also also we we could aim for both more quality and quantity. Why not? Trashy people can always join Trashy instance, or whoever and whenever. That’s imo what’s Lemmy is all about. A hook in every nook?


Oh my sweet summer child
Whom are you adressing, Zelensky?


penetration of hardened shelters
Like (underground) bunkers?


Technically the EU won’t " touch" the assets. They’ll use it as a collateral for a loan with a conditional future warreparation from Ruzz.
Add: And yes, this legal manoeuvring has no precendet afaik. It’s really very creative.


Iirc, Trump’s original bill contained zero help for ukraine and cutting like 20% of the US military budget and personnel in the Eastern Sentry . It was actually a Congresssional majority of Reps and Dems that then force changed the budget to include (some) help to Ukriane and to keep the US Mil Eastern Sentry budget as is.


And according to politico, Italy, Bulgaria, Malta and Czechia have joined the group of dissenting countries.


Yips, 800 M is more than nothing. But under Biden it was like 175 B just for context.


You have any news on this? Technically any business deal with a sanctioned country is hard. If you mean the "2 T US$ " deal Trumptraitor Inc wanted to make, it is related to unsanctioning RF economy and regaining G8 status, part of the first 28 point Ruzz-Witkoff draft , which seems to have been abandoned by the European Zelensky- Rubio version… But could be there are still 2 versions circulating.


Nothing happened after 5 hours of scratching each other’s balls. So imo it won’t ever happen.


While Nato’s Rutte said in a recent press briefing he was arranging a more structural delivery (procurement) system and other news sites talked even of new equipment? Not sure what’s going on.# Ed
They are only getting to know the Ukrainian " haute couture" and local customs. Nothing to see here.
