⚡️West must ’let go’ of ‘irrational fears’ of escalation with Russia, FM Kuleba says. “Putin does not require any reasons to escalate. Instead, we must take the initiative and make Putin fear our next move, not the other way around,” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” session.

And I can’t wait for the west to wake up.

Today I made a template. Who knows, it might be useful to some big company.

“We will release {insert product or service name here} over the coming months, but not in the EU due to the unpredictable nature of the European regulatory environment,” {insert company name here} said in a statement to {Insert news agency name here}.

If someone shares a post with a link to X, you could choose not to open the link2. Encouraging others to adopt a similar stance can be an effective way to voice your opinion and influence the platform’s practices through your engagement, or lack thereof.3
