One day, my colleague told me that tweeting is like a doing graffiti on the wall in toilet. In an aspect it's correct. My tweet is also something like that. Thus if you feel bad for the sake of encountering a crap that I tweeted, feel free to block or unfollow me.

In her UN speech, PM Sanae Takaichi pointed to Japan's "consistent support for and contributions to international judicial organs, such as the International Criminal Court". But she didn't say that the first Japanese head of the ICC has been sanctioned by the US govt. Why not?
Today at the UN Security Council I had a simple message for the Russian representative:
It's time to tell Putin the truth. The world knows that Russia is failing in this war. The Russian people can feel it and ministers know it too.
The UK will stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
Macron: I do not believe Putin when he says he wants peace. That was not true before.
I do not believe him when he says Russia has no aggressive intent toward Europe. That is not true either.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, President Zelenskyy confirmed that Trump asked him to stop striking Russian oil refineries, citing rising diesel prices.
Zelenskyy’s response was straightforward: “Diesel may matter to some, but our lives matter more.”
Ukraine’s position remains the same: they attack us, we respond. If Russia wants Ukraine to stop hitting its refineries and energy infrastructure, then Russia has to stop attacking Ukraine’s electricity, heating and water infrastructure.
Ukraine is ready for an energy ceasefire but it has to work both ways
Zelensky dismissed attempts to justify Russia’s war through historical arguments, saying: “If you want to end a war, don’t start it in the first place. If you want to solve a problem, solve it.” He argued that Putin is not winning on the battlefield and therefore needs to show results to Russian society. “He doesn’t respect anyone. He only cares about the Russian people. He is only afraid of his own people,” Zelensky said, questioning how the war can be justified without victories. #Ukraine
Эрдоган с трибуны ООН поддержал Украину:
«Мы искренне надеемся, что война между Украиной и Россией завершится с сохранением суверенитета и территориальной целостности Украины».
Japanese PM arrives in the USA and pretends to wave to the crowds. But waiting on the empty tarmac were just a couple of Japanese consular staff to greet her. No red carpet, no US dignitaries, not even the airport toilet cleaners came out to greet her. Japan has become irrelevant
LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"
BREAKING: US broadcasters NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and Fox have said they will not provide pool coverage of Donald Trump's events today.
It comes after the president banned three major news outlets from the White House for "reporting fake news".

Our long-range responses had a very significant impact in the Moscow region last night. One of Russia’s key oil industry facilities and the aggressor’s logistics facility were hit. These are billions of dollars that sustain the war machine. The systems used included FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000, Palianytsia, Vendetta, Liutyi, Bars, Flamingo, Sichen, and Pelican.
I thank our warriors for their accuracy: the Security Service of Ukraine together with the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Foreign Intelligence Service. Sanctions were also imposed on a facility in the Voronezh region. Moscow must end its brutal war and choose peace instead of building layered rings of air defense at the expense of other regions. Steps toward de-escalation are on the table – in energy and food security. What is needed is political will. I thank everyone who is strengthening Ukraine’s long-range capabilities. I am grateful to everyone who complements our long-range responses with responses through sanctions. Glory to Ukraine!
