I used to think Vitkoff merely sympathized with Putin. But it turned out to be worse: there is a KGB agent working inside the U.S. President’s administration — and even worse, Trump is fine with it. Vitkoff is such a nobody that even the Russians mock him.

На фронті наростає стратегічна криза. Декілька років про це говорили, але хто хоче думати про гірші сценарії, коли можна малювати красиві презентації та цифри.
«Повернись живим» проактивно нарощує допомогу на Покровськ та Гуляйполе — коптери, генератори, екофло, нічники, теплаки тощо.
За ваші кошти, які ви направляєте на наші загальні рахунки — оперативно посилюємо критичні ділянки фронту.

Gen Z romanticizes the Soviet Union as “vibey,” forgetting it was a regime of repression, poverty, and silence.

Дякую тобі, Боже, що дав народитись українцем. Що б там далі не було, але в такі часи та за таких обставин, це честь.

Online Premiere of the Polemos Film

The short film Polemos continues the collaboration between the 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov of the National Guard of Ukraine and the famous Ukrainian clothing brand RIOTDIVISION.

Previously, RIOTDIVISION and Azov released a limited clothing collection that, through designs by artist Oleh Semak, sought to capture the enduring tradition of resistance to tyranny within Ukrainian military culture. With Polemos, this concept takes on new depth, brought vividly to the screen.

Paying homage to Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal with its classical medieval themes, Polemos expands this historical perspective by exploring the metaphysical dimension of a warrior's existence — one constantly shadowed by death. The film portrays this ever-present confrontation through a chess match in which the protagonists all face the same opponent. The title itself, Polemos, is no accident: rooted in ancient Greek mythology, it signifies struggle, conflict, and war — forces that, as Heraclitus wrote, "make some men slaves, and others free."

The film's concept and script were created by Azov representatives Yuliia Khoros and Valentyn Dziubenko. Azov fighters Dmytro "Zhakh" Kirov, Illia "Crowley" Kolesnikov, Valerii "Shaman" Semeniuk, Serhii "Gamer" Oliinyk, and Ruslan "Shtorm" Yeremeyev played the roles of the warriors, joined by actor Slava Nikonorov. The film was shot by Azov serviceman Ruslan Bohdan and directed by Yevhenii Brooks, who also involved the Neutrino production team in the filming process. Polemos was produced by the RIOTDIVISION and its management team.

The soundtrack was written by singer, folklorist, and costume artist Mariia Kvitka, electronic producer Nastya Vogan, and cellist Artem Zamkov, with sound design by Andrii Nidzelskyi.

Polemos was selected for the programs of 18 international film festivals across Ukraine, Sweden, the USA, India, France, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, and other countries, earning numerous honors and awards.

The film is dedicated to all fallen fighters of Azov and to every warrior who has given their life in the struggle for Ukraine’s independence.

Dear @SteveWitkoff.
Here is the message from people of "some russian-speaking territories":

Ukraine doesn't have russian-speaking territories. We have territories that were colonized and russified for years. So please, fuck off together with your best friend putin.

They want to convince us that our country does not belong to us. That the outcome is predetermined and everything has already been decided for us. That someone will reach an agreement and everything will return to normal. They try to break Ukrainians by creating the illusion that we are all doomed and that further fighting is pointless.

Remember: it was the same exactly three years ago. But back then, Ukraine endured despite all forecasts, estimates, and efforts to persuade us to capitulate. We fought back with a determination that surprised both our enemies and our allies. That was the work of our warriors, who stopped enemy columns, often lacking adequate training but knowing why they fought and what was at stake. That was the work of thousands of Ukrainians who took up arms for the first time on February 24, 2022.

The survival of our state was not the result of international agreements but the outcome of the titanic daily efforts of thousands of fighters on the front lines.

While besieged by Russian forces in Mariupol, we could not have cared less about those who considered Ukraine doomed to defeat, waiting for us to give up our territories and our independence. Each of us carried out our duty decisively and selflessly, despite analysts' skepticism and attempts to sow despair among Ukrainians. In fierce battles against enemy forces that outnumbered us, we knew that the fate of our country was not decided in distant high-level offices but right there — on the battlefield. And we proved to be right.

Three years later, we still hold that belief. Looking back at the difficult journey we have made, we realize we have much to be proud of, and we know exactly who and what we are fighting for.

Over these three years, Ukraine has remained independent thanks to its military, reinforced by the unwavering support of volunteers and citizens who support it financially. Therefore, today, the fate of our country still depends on those whose efforts hold the front lines.

The courage of Ukrainian soldiers is envied by desk generals in every army in the world. The bravery and selflessness of Ukraine’s resistance are honored by millions. A new military doctrine, a new geopolitical reality, and a new chapter in history are being written in the trenches — where Ukrainian soldiers bring peace closer with every precise strike on enemy targets.

Let us understand: the United States has given us $106 billion in support against Russian aggression. And now we have to sign a deal where we give back $500 billion to continue receiving aid and deter Russian aggression?

Ukraine have already paid with everything we had, money, territory, resources, and most importantly, people. When will Russia pay for their aggression?

Наш Русоріз вийшов на світовий рівень!

Видання The New York Times опублікувало великий матеріал про те, як Україна здійснила революцію у сфері безпілотників. І це справді історично не тільки для нас, а й для світу.

З одного боку це стресово, а з іншого приємно нарешті відчувати себе живою людиною, яка спроможна визнавати і комунікувати свої страхи, хвилювання, некомпетентність і сумніви. Я доволі довго до цього йшла

@generalkellogg I spent this Christmas morning without heat, light and running water because the russians were shelling my city Dnipro with missiles. They should be defeated and stopped or they never stop and we wouldn’t see the next Christmas
