We – the Netherlands and all western countries standing with Ukraine – must prepare for the worst The question is this: how do we keep Ukraine free and independent This begins with the awareness that our security is already directly threatened by Russia. Trump wants to do business over our heads with this country. It appears that he and Vladimir Putin have divided Europe into spheres of influence like two mob bosses in a low-budget movie As the saying goes: if you’re not at the table The Netherlands is not an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean; we are fully exposed when geopolitical and economic storms brew on our continent. It is the Russian aggression in Ukraine that has made our energy prices rocket We cannot batten down the hatches and wait for the storm to pass We are a medium-sized country with significant European and international interests But political divisions at the heart of our government are leaving us exposed The biggest party in the coalition governing the Netherlands such as the centre-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) are staunch advocates of unwavering support of Ukraine the coalition government is rudderless and unstable It is abundantly clear that our national scale is far too small to make a real difference We must also work on closer ties with countries that share our sense of urgency and are not EU members The EU will also need to take a much firmer stance against member states such as Hungary that spare no effort in promoting Putin’s (and Trump’s) agenda The Russians are struggling more than it appears at first glance; sanctions are damaging the country, the losses are significant, and the war economy is creating large gaps elsewhere. Sanctions need to be scaled up much further, and all frozen Russian assets in the EU must be transferred to Ukraine immediately. Read moreEU member states must wake up and stop squabbling over trivial matters This means thinking creatively about European war bonds and finding the fastest possible way to bolster our defence in preparation for a confrontation in which the Americans may leave us to fend for ourselves This requires investing in areas that the Americans currently cover within Nato it is vital for the overall resilience of Dutch society that defence investments do not come at the expense of our social safety net we must first establish a partnership that provides the collective security guarantee of Nato without having to rely on the US Crucial to this is the involvement of Britain and possibly Canada and European countries that are not members of the EU it should go beyond the EU and perhaps also exclude countries such as Hungary or the nominally neutral Austria and Ireland it is of national security interest to make progress on a genuine energy union High energy prices constitute the primary economic threat to this continent This requires much more collective investment in energy networks and also joint procurement of gas for as long as we need it The Netherlands can play a leading role in all these areas Because the coalition is not allocating additional funds for Ukraine and is implementing utterly nonsensical cuts to the contributions to the EU the words of support are literally and figuratively cheap Because the largest coalition party is at best ambiguous and usually sides with Trump – who is now also siding with Putin – our government is adrift The rudderless government may be on the brink of despair and our country is certainly not without prospects The Dutch people see that the world order is changing Frans Timmermans is the leader of the leftwing alliance of the Dutch Green party and the Labour party (GroenLinks/PvdA) Today’s Paper#masthead-section-label, #masthead-bar-one { display: none }Russia-Ukraine War By Marco Hernandez Russian forces are making progress in many directions at once Russian troops have surged across the border from the north and opened a new line of attack near Kharkiv capturing settlements and villages and forcing thousands of civilians to flee Russia launched one line of attack near Ohirtseve Both sides reported fighting near Hlyboke on Sunday Sources: Institute for the Study of War with American Enterprise Institute’s Critical Threats Project The real goal may be to divert already-weakened Ukrainian forces from critical battles elsewhere But one thing is clear: The map of battle in Ukraine looks a lot different today than it did only a week ago Ukraine is more vulnerable than at any time since the harrowing first weeks of the 2022 invasion a range of soldiers and commanders have said in interviews It is too soon to know if the war in Ukraine has hit a turning point But Russia’s progress isn’t just in the northeast Russia has been making small but geographically broad gains across the eastern front. And what started as a modest Russian advance near Avdiivka has grown in recent weeks into a roughly 15-square-mile bulge that is complicating the defense of the Donetsk region Months of delays in American assistance, a spiraling number of casualties and severe shortages of ammunition have taken a deep toll evident in the exhausted expressions and weary voices of soldiers engaged in daily combat Whether Russia will succeed in weakening Ukraine’s defenses in other parts of the front line remains to be seen appears to be to draw Ukrainian forces away from Chasiv Yar a town on strategic high ground where Ukrainians have fought for weeks to stave off an attack Russia’s broad range of attacks appears to be stretching Ukrainian forces thin. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, said in an interview from a bunker in Kharkiv this week that it has been difficult to find the personnel to shore up defenses in the northeast “All of our forces are either here or in Chasiv Yar,” he said we don’t have anyone else in the reserves.” A look at the work of the recipients of the 2024 Ian Parry photojournalism grant (IPPG) which supports young and emerging photographers Ximena Borrazas received the Tom Stoddart award for excellence and the Gentex Corp personal safety award dedicated to ensuring the protection of aspiring photojournalists selected Shefali Rafiq from the shortlist of 10 finalists for a special commission A look at the work of the recipients of the 2024 Ian Parry photojournalism grant (IPPG) Photograph: Iva Sidash/c/o Ian Parry Photography Grant Photograph: Ximena Borrazas/c/o Ian Parry Photography Grant Photograph: Annie Barker/c/o Ian Parry Photography Grant Photograph: Ammar Yassir Abubaker/c/o Ian Parry Photography Grant Photograph: George Ivanchenko/c/o Ian Parry Photography Grant Photograph: Shefali Rafiq/c/o Ian Parry Photography Grant According to Andrii Besedin the head of the Kupiansk military administration Russians fired 1870 shells on the Kupiansk community in two weeks of April They’re using various types of weapons: artillery multiple rocket launchers (MRL) in different modifications During April 14, the Russian army shelled Kupiansk from artillery, killing a woman and a man and injuring another woman On the same day, a 77-year-old woman and a 52-year-old man were killed by Russian MRL attack in Shevchenkove village in Kupiansk district a woman was also injured after Russian artillery attack while driving a car In Slatyne village, located in the Derhachi urban community, a Russian glide bomb damaged 22 houses.
