Folks, the Houthis are not "defending Gaza" or trying to "stop a genocide". They are using the Gaza war as a pretext to consolidate their (brutal, autocratic) rule inside Yemen and to position themselves as a regional power.

Друзі, моя тітка живе в малесенькому селі на 90 людей і там дуже погано з роботою. Але вона навчилась робити такі красивезні зефіри і шоколадні фігурки, які ви можете замовити доставкою новою поштою і порадувати себе чи близьких та підтримати її. Все зроблено із домашніх фруктів!

To those who have missed the previous 30 years, here is a short list of the results of negotiations with Russia that it never respected:

1. The Budapest Memorandum of 1994. Russia agreed to “respect independence, sovereignty, and the existing borders of Ukraine” as well as “refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine”. Breached by Russia invading Crimea in 2014.

2. The Russian-Ukrainian Friendship Treaty of 1997. Russia agreed to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity and “reaffirmed the inviolability of the borders” between the two countries. Russia breached it in 2014.

3. The OSCE Istanbul Summit in 1999. Russia committed to withdrawing its troops from Moldova’s Transdniestrian region and Georgia until the end of 2002. That never happened.

4. The 2008 Georgia ceasefire agreement following Russian aggression against the country. Russia agreed that “Russian military forces must withdraw to the lines prior to the start of hostilities”. That never happened.

5. The Ilovaysk “Green Corridor” in August 2014 and other “humanitarian” death corridors. Russia pledged to let Ukrainian forces leave the encircled town of Ilovaysk in the east of Ukraine, but instead opened fire and killed 366 Ukrainian troops. In the following years, Russia attacked numerous humanitarian corridors in Syria.

6. The “Minsk” agreements of 2014 and 2015. Russia agreed to cease the fire in the east of Ukraine. There had been 200 rounds of talks and 20 attempts to enforce a ceasefire, all of which the Russian side promptly violated. On February 24th, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

7. The 2022 Black Sea Grain Initiative. Russia pledged to “provide maximum assurances regarding a safe and secure environment for all vessels engaged in this initiative." It then hindered the initiative's operation for months before withdrawing unilaterally a year later.

NB: I am only focused on deals made with Russia to address specific issues and conflicts. I am not mentioning almost 400 international treaties that Russia has breached since 2014.

There are no conclusions to be drawn here, except that no one can seriously use the words "Russia" and "negotiations" in the same phrase.

Putin is a habitual liar who promised international leaders that he would not attack Ukraine days before his invasion in February 2022.

Russia's tactic has remained consistent in its many wars over the last three decades: kill, grab, lie, and deny.

Why would anyone genuinely believe that Russia in 2023 is any different from Russia in 1994, 1997, 1999, 2008, 2014, 2015, and 2022?

16-річний Роман Білецький загинув внаслідок російського обстрілу с. Пожня на Сумщині 26 жовтня.

Дідусь розповів, що коли почались постріли, хлопчик побіг рятувати своїх кіз, які випасалися на городі.

“Він дуже любив тварин, займався вирощуванням утяток і займався козами. Дві кози тримав, йому подарували місцеві жителі.

Коли розпочався обстріл, він згадав, що його кози припнуті на покосі на городі. Він побіг їх рятувати, встиг їх поставити у стойло, знімати цепки. Потім намагався зайти в хату, бо були гучні постріли.

У момент, коли він піднявся на крильце, вже відкрив двері в коридор — прилетів снаряд. Снаряд прилетів на наш сінник, який у садочку. Вибух відбувся не на землі, а зверху на даху, на шифері. Його вразило в легені, вирвало все. І в ногу", — згадує дідусь.

Дідусь Романа має 1 групу інвалідності, онук приїжджав доглядати за ним, допомагав по господарству.

«Це була моя одна надія і опора. Я надіявся дуже на Ромочку, на свого внучка. І останню мою надію забрало» - говорить він.

The difference between 'died' and 'killed'

This has happened to often over the past years to be coincidental or a poor choosing of words.

@PopBase You know you can stand for Palestine without belittling the sufferings of Ukrainians, it’s not hard. Thank you

NEW: The #Kremlin is already and will likely continue to exploit the #Hamas attacks in #Israel to advance several information operations intended to reduce US and Western support and attention to #Ukraine.
