@Heritage@VictoriaCoates Neglect? I think you mean corruption and incompetence. Each year the United States spends an inordinate amount of money on defense, and there’s practically nothing to show for it.
@TheAdamUre Wait… When exactly did the West give Moscow what it wants? I guess I missed the part where the West lifted sanctions, recognized Crimea, and stopped bankrolling Ukraine’s war machine?
@HBrandstaetter So you watched this video of real Ukrainians being kidnapped off the streets, criticizing Zelensky, & expressing their disillusionment with the war… And your only retort was to call @Panchenko_X a liar and act like these people don’t exist?
@aaronjmate Remnick also conveniently censors any criticisms of Ukraine from his liberal audience. The fact that Zelensky is a dictator who has jailed, killed and sanctioned his opponents—goes completely unmentioned.
Yesterday, a Dutch guy tried to tell me that Trump is on Russia’s side. The same Trump who has imposed more than 200 sanctions on Russia, killed Russian contractors in Syria, & provided aid to Ukraine in both his terms.
Literally NOBODY living in reality believes that.
Spent the weekend in Amsterdam, and I’m dumbfounded by how pride flags vastly outnumber the country’s national flag. The ratio is easily 100 to 1.
The Dutch seem overwhelmingly more patriotic toward their sexuality than their nationality.
@BrianMcDonaldIE Kasparov is a bit like Dugin—he has large name recognition in the West, but his political commentary is basically irrelevant inside Russia. Most people my age who I talk with don’t even know who he is.
Lindsey Graham’s legacy:
- Promoting endless wars that killed millions of people
- Advocating for Israel to drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza
- Sanctioning and starving entire populations, causing extreme human suffering (Cuba, Yemen, Venezuela, etc.)
There’s nothing good to say.
Funny how Western media totally ignores these blatant cases of political persecution by the Zelensky regime. If Shevchenko was Russian, they would be praising him endlessly.
My name is Kyrylo Shevchenko. I am the former Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine.
A horrifying assassination attempt on a Ukrainian businessman in Monaco has shocked the world. His companion had both legs blown off in the explosion, while he and his son were hospitalized.
But the story has an even darker continuation: the bomb was planted by a Ukrainian woman who was receiving payments from an officer of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate under the Ministry of Defense, known as HUR. Upon her return to Ukraine on July 1, that same officer shot her in the head. The entire case was "investigated" and closed in just a few days.
Watching this unfold like a scene from a mafia thriller, I am reminded of the direct threats I myself have received from Ukrainian security services, including kidnapping warnings. It is becoming clear that Zelensky's regime is prepared to use any means against its opponents.
Behind this system stands not only Zelensky himself, but also the man long known as the "grey cardinal" of his office — Andriy Yermak. Until recently nearly all-powerful, controlling appointments across ministries, security agencies, and the military, Yermak formally resigned in late November 2025 amid the corruption scandal surrounding Energoatom, and later became a suspect in a money-laundering case. But the system he built — as Ukrainian lawmakers themselves have acknowledged — did not disappear along with his departure from office.
This case raises serious questions: How did a woman wanted by Interpol cross into Ukraine without assistance from the security services? And how was such a high-profile investigation completed in a matter of days? For comparison, the legendary Ukrainian journalist Georgiy Gongadze was murdered in 2000, and the investigation still has not named those responsible.
Yet here, the intelligence officer quickly confesses, claims he acted alone, and says his leadership knew nothing.
This is convenient. The main witness and perpetrator is now dead and cannot speak.
I do not own a major, attractive business, but as Governor of the National Bank, I crossed a line: I refused to allow the money printing that would have hurt Ukraine in 2022, and I blocked a sponsorship scheme linked to Zelensky's inner circle. For that, I now face a fabricated criminal case in both Ukraine and Austria.
I am grateful to Austria, where I am currently located, for protecting me from threats by Ukrainian security services.
I appeal to the civilized world and to Europe: by continuing to turn a blind eye to what is happening, you are condemning other Ukrainians to fear, persecution, and — God forbid — elimination at the hands of Zelensky's regime. This regime has already crossed the psychological threshold of murder. This cannot end well — neither for us, nor for you.
I live in Russia & traveled to Germany back in April, & I was definitely shocked:
- that in Germany virtually nothing works past 8pm or on Sundays (extremely inconvenient)
- the same products & services are triple the price
- a basic package we ordered took two weeks to arrive
Представляю, какой шок приехать из России в Германию:
- бензин и дизельное топливо в наличии и без очередей
- мобильный интернет
- Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, ChatGPT, пользуйся, любыми сервисами, заходи на любые сайты, VPN не нужен
- Visa, MasterCard, ApplePay
- доставка на дом, никаких очередей и примерок в ПВЗ
- двухлетняя гарантия на любой товар
- нулевой шанс быть отправленным в мясной штурм
