@IlyaYashin @tvrain @katyakotrikadze Илья при всем к Вам уважении, а как на счет того народа, который за деньги идет украинцев убивать по контракту, их родственников, которые потом делят заработки и доходы после их смерти? И тому подобных им. Это же тоже русский народ.

NEW: 93 murders in London (pop: ~9m) in 12 months to October.

The city's murder rate is now lowest for decades; perhaps centuries. https://t.co/T0o7Q0bgVw

@Peston He would need to enforce a judgment of the court in Florida in English courts under common law principles as there is no bilateral enforcement agreement between the US and the UK.

Shameless hypocrisy

When the curtain rises this week at Covent Garden and the hall resounds with the music of Puccini, the audience will see a story of love and betrayal.

The acclaimed soprano Anna Netrebko will step onto the stage as Tosca - and for some, it will be an evening of high art.

But for me and for millions of Ukrainians, every note, every tear will sound different.

Today I was asked by a Russian journalist (Zarina) from RIA News Sport whether I would participate (if invited) in the match between former @NHL and Russian KHL stars, as Trump and Putin reportedly recently agreed. This is my answer 🧵

‼️This is a Must-Read especially since it’s coming from inside of Russia. This post by political blogger Igor Dimitriev is causing a lot of anger among Russian political ‘elites’:

“Even the memory of that brief euphoria that accompanied the entry of the CSTO [firces] into Kazakhstan in January 2022 is gradually fading.

Then it seemed that Russia was the guarantor of stability, the arbitrator, the center of power. Now there is nothing left of that feeling.

Kazakhstan is confidently following its own path, forming its own security strategy. It signed a military cooperation plan with Great Britain, including the training of officers in British military academies.

It is building a plant with its Singapore partners to produce 155 mm ammunition, NATO standard. It is introducing a territorial reserve system based on Western models. (There was even a scandal there recently with the local analogue of the Territorial Center of Recruitment).

All this in a paradigm where Russia is seen not as an ally, but as a potential threat.

Azerbaijan has finally liquidated Armenian Artsakh without regard for the CSTO and killed Russian peacekeepers.

After the downed plane in December 2024, it publicly demanded an apology and compensation from Moscow, closed the offices of Russian government agencies.

Aliyev plays openly - he is increasing cooperation with Ukraine, supplying humanitarian aid, and avoiding even formal neutrality.

Armenia - in the past, the main ally in the Caucasus - has effectively left the Russian orbit. Pashinyan has repeatedly announced his withdrawal from the CSTO, the country recalled its permanent representative to the organization, and closed Russian propaganda channels.

Uzbekistan has ignored the CSTO since 2012 and is actively developing partnership with Europe through summits and sectoral agreements.

Last year, there was tension between Moscow and Tashkent in connection with the assassination attempt on one of the government officials and the alleged "Chechen trace".

Instead of neutral Finland, there is now a 1,300 km border with NATO. Sweden, which remained neutral even during the Second World War, participates in NATO military exercises and supplies weapons to Ukraine.

The entire north of Europe is reorganizing its armed forces for joint exercises in the Arctic and the Baltic.

All of Europe is turning into a single anti-Russian coalition. Germany is reorienting its production capacities to military orders.

The EU's defense spending is aimed at 5% of GDP. For the first time, a single European military budget has appeared.

Syria, which recently played the role of a showcase for Russian geopolitical influence, is now a platform for the mass execution of pro-Russian elements. The Russian bases in Syria are the most vulnerable issue for [Russia’s] African initiatives.

Over the past three years, the security architecture in Eurasia has changed radically. Russia is no longer a regional leader, a political center, or a guarantor of stability.

Geopolitical weight is not just decreasing — it is being reset. In fact, the entire scale of Russia's foreign policy today is tactical battles in the Donetsk and Sumy regions.

What was intended as a quick regime change in Kyiv has turned into a protracted meat grinder, devouring the country's geopolitical capital.

The entire military machine is focused on storming Ukrainian villages. All resources are squeezed out for the sake of a front that is barely moving.

Where everything is heading was clear back in 2022. Nevertheless, the leadership of the Russian Federation has been hammering away at the Ukrainian defense with maniacal persistence.

Apparently, the Kremlin believes that if they manage to destroy Ukraine, all the problems will dissolve on their own and 2021 will return.

Although by the time Ukraine collapses - if it collapses at all - the world around will be completely different.”

Right. Let’s go in swinging with both fists, here.

Let me tell you about LCpl S. I won’t blow his full name on the internet because I don’t know what he’s up to and it might be something cool.

This guy was the son of an Afghan refugee from the 1980s war. Of course, he was Muslim. Strapping unit of a bloke. Gave up a degree in astrophysics to join The Parachute Regiment as a private.

I once overheard him in a harbour area in the bush in Kenya, giving the other lads a talk about stars and where they come from. When we deployed to Bosnia, I gave him the task of a lecture to the company on Bosnia’s history. Smashed it out of the park.

He went to Afghanistan with 2 PARA and came back with a seriously high level medal.

His mates love him and called him “the kindest man in the Parachute Regiment”. He won the annual Fishmonger’s Prize for giving successful life-saving CPR to a random unconscious man he came across lying in the street on a night out.

He is one of the finest soldiers I had the honour of working alongside. He has my undying respect. And he’s a Muslim.

So @LozzaFox and every dickhead who made @BritishArmy turn off the replies on this benign post: get fucked.
