Interesting fact:
Armia Krajowa, National Heroes of Poland, at various stages during WWII collaborated both with Nazis (1944-1945), and with Soviets (1943-1944)
UPA collaborated only with Nazis (1943-1944), and started fighting them later in the war, when the divisions of AK started collaborating with Nazis. UPA never collaborated with Soviets; and fought USSR up until 1956
Everyone knows UPA collaborated with Nazis, but no one ever says AK collaborated with both forces, responsible for the massacres of the Polish statehood
Why is this so? We are searching for truth, don't we?
Why is reporting on russians in fuel queues more important than reporting on the daily killing of Ukrainians?
Today alone, at least 10 civilians have been killed.
This is the reality in Ukraine.
Why isn't this leading every headline?
💔📽 This is Zaporizhzhia. Right now.

Многие пишут что до россиян начало доходить – нет, не начало. Это называется по другому.
Им было ок пока их соотечественники вырезали Бучу били бомбами по драмтеатру, детским больницам, расстреливали машины во время эвакуации, им было норм когда били по Эпицентру в час пик, им было норм когда били по людям на лодкам спасавшимся после взорванной Каховской ГЭС, они радовались поднятому российскому флагу на развалинах уничтоженного их государством украинского города. Для них все это нормально. А не нормально для них то что война неожиданно вернулась к ним в дом и забрала бензин. Они не прозрели, этому есть другое слово – обыкновенное мерзкое, отвратительное бля..во и их любимое "нас то за что".
Они не против войны, они против неудобств вызванные войной.
Why so many Ukrainians speak russian? Let me explain.
But first, let me ask you a question: Why do Irish and Scotts speak English, Catalans and Basques speak Spanish, Bretons speak French, etc. You probably know the short answer. But let me put a longer one. Ukrainian language was banned by russia 134 times! Here are most notable events:
1720: A decree by Tsar Peter I banned the printing of books in Ukraine.
1753: A decree by Catherine II prohibited teaching in the Ukrainian language.
1768: A decree from the Synod of the russian Orthodox Church called for the confiscation of Ukrainian primers from the population.
1775: Closure of Ukrainian schools after russian troops destroyed the Zaporizhian Sich.
1830-1840s: russification of Ukraine intensified. Even the very name "Ukraine" was prohibited to be used.
1889: At an archaeological congress in Kyiv, it was permitted to read papers "in all languages except Ukrainian."
1895: A ban on Ukrainian children's literature.
1914: A ban on the Ukrainian press.
1938: Mandatory study of the russian language was introduced throughout Ukraine. At the same time, there was a mass closure of national schools, and the prestige of the Ukrainian language declined.
1926-1939: Physical deportations of Ukrainian activists accused of nationalism. Four family members on my mother’s side were deported.
1929: Newly printed dictionary of Ukrainian was prohibited.
1960s: Arrests and extermination of the young generation of Ukrainian intelligentsia.
130 years ago, Ukrainian-speaking area was not limited by Ukraine, but also some parts of russia and Belarus spoke it (see the red area, that's the result of russian Empire census in 1897, when people identified themselves by the language). So, when someone says that some region of Ukraine is “russian speaking”, read the above list again. It’s a miracle that Ukrainian language even survived, and many people sacrificed their lives for it.
🇺🇦🦩 Zelensky: Every Russian defense facility that is working on a war against Ukraine is a fair target for our long-range sanctions.
Tonight, FP-5 Flamingo missiles successfully hit the Titan-Barricades plant in Volgograd.
The geography of Ukrainian long-range sanctions is constantly expanding.
Lest we forget.
On June 27, 2022, russia struck the Amstor Shopping Center in Kremenchuk while it was full of civilians.
22 people were killed. Over 50 injured.
And it didn’t stop there — because the world moved on.
In 2022, Russians filmed mocking videos about how Europe would be left without fuel by refusing Russian energy resources.
In 2026, in Moscow, gasoline quotas are being introduced, people are standing in multi-kilometer queues at gas stations, airlines are declaring an emergency situation, and in some regions, the fuel shortage has forced people to leave their cars.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reports that Belarus is no longer allowing that its signal towers are used as repeaters for Russian drones in Ukraine's north. According to him it has come effect on June 22, only three days after Ukraine's 7-day ultimatum.
Another piece of fading Russian power has been chipped away.
Russia is not over 1,000 years old, as some claim. At most, it is 900 years old – if we count from the establishment of the first political unit in the area of Moscow. The Vladimir-Suzdal Principality, founded in 1125, is where we should begin the political history of the country now known as Russia. Before the arrival of colonizers from Kyiv, the region was mostly inhabited by Finnic tribes.
Rus’ began in Kyiv in the 9th century, which makes Ukraine its direct descendant, while Russia is more of a spin-off – a branch heavily influenced by the Golden Horde. Moscow was under Kyivan Rus’ influence for barely 100 years, but it remained under the rule of the Golden Horde and other Turkic powers for over 400 years. This raises the question: from whom did they actually inherit most of their political culture and traditions?
We don’t say that the United States began with the Kingdom of Wessex in the 6th century. We don’t say Argentina started as the Kingdom of Aragon in 1035, or that Brazil was founded in the days of the Portuguese Reconquista. You get the point. We draw a clear line between the colonizing civilization and the colony that later gained independence and went its own way.
Likewise, Russia did not begin with Kyivan Rus’. It was a remote colony, and that does not make it the heir to Kyivan heritage. In fact, prior to 1721 the country wasn’t even officially called “Russia” – its name was “Moscovia.�� They renamed themselves after conquering Rus’-Ukraine, in a deliberate attempt to appropriate its history. Sadly, many people still fall for that story.
When I pass by the 1,000-year-old St. Sophia Cathedral – built while the area of Moscow was still populated mostly by bears and frogs – and then hear someone talk about “Russia’s 1,000+ year history,” I honestly shudder. That is Ukrainian history, not Moscow’s.
The trident was the coat of arms of Volodymyr the Great of Kyiv, who reigned from 978 to 1015. The double-headed eagle, often cited as Russia’s imperial symbol, wasn’t even originally Muscovite – it was appropriated from Byzantium after its fall. Tsar Ivan IV, “the Terrible,” even fabricated a story claiming he was a direct descendant of Julius Caesar. Naturally, that was fake – like so much else in their official mythology.

BREAKING:

This is barbarism. Not war.
russian fascists have once again beheaded a Ukrainian soldier and proudly published it themselves.
Not an army. A gang of sadists.
Not an exception. A pattern.
How many more severed heads does the world need before it acts?
