Europe faces a fast-proliferation of sabotage attacks and airspace violations.
Moscow is trying to scare Europe into winding down its support for Ukraine.
As Russia is willing to take greater risks, Europe must impose greater costs.
There are many ways to do that: stronger action against Russia’s shadow fleet and tougher measures targeting its military-industrial complex.

#Ireland | #CiaVisegrád 24 (@visegrad24)Zelensky met with CIA Director John Ratcliffe in Ireland today— https://x.com/visegrad24/status/2102145928220070193

🇺🇦🇺🇸 The CIA director is quietly becoming one of the most interesting people in the Ukraine negotiations.
Weeks after John Ratcliffe made a surprise trip to Moscow, he has now reportedly met Zelensky at Shannon Airport in Ireland.
And the setting makes this even stranger: their planes were apparently refueling, and somewhere in that overlap, the Ukrainian president and America’s spy chief sat down for a conversation whose contents remain secret.
That might sound like a chance airport encounter.
Except Ratcliffe’s role appears to be expanding.
Earlier this month U.S. officials had told European counterparts Ratcliffe was preparing to take a larger role in Washington’s Russia-Ukraine diplomacy, potentially conducting shuttle diplomacy between Moscow and Kyiv.
He has now met Russian intelligence officials in Moscow and Zelensky in Ireland within weeks.
We don’t know what was discussed at Shannon.
But America’s CIA director suddenly looks a lot more like someone entering the negotiations head first, than just watching from the intelligence side.

I actually hope that Russia escalates inside the EU to force us to finally act and help defeat Russia in Ukraine.
Our current soft behavior will lead us into a direct war with Russia, and we need a wake-up call to change course and avoid that outcome

BREAKING | 🇵🇱🇺🇸🇪🇺‼️‼️ Poland says urgent new measures are now required to strengthen NATO security, as Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz’s planned Wednesday visit to the Pentagon has been postponed at the urgent request of the U.S. side.
According to Poland’s Defense Ministry, the decision follows signals received from Washington and consultations after the meeting of NATO chiefs of defence. Deputy Defense Ministers Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka and Paweł Zalewski will travel to Washington instead, where they will hold talks with U.S. counterparts and prepare new agreements on further defense cooperation. A new date for Kosiniak-Kamysz’s Pentagon visit is currently being arranged.
The unusually urgent language from Warsaw is significant. Poland is directly linking the change in plans to the need for additional steps to strengthen Allied security, suggesting that consultations between Washington, Warsaw and other NATO capitals are entering a more intensive phase as the alliance reassesses the security environment on its eastern flank.
