Russian Z-propagandist Simonyan called Ukraine a "cancerous tumor" and said "nothing can be preserved, you just have to pound away until nothing is left."

Russia's desire for genocide aginst Ukrainians is well-known.
I'm sharing this to show it still persists.

@calliecastle10 Thank you!!!

The Russians have completely lost their f**king minds

Medinsky had barely left the negotiating room when he declared that every inch of Russian land would be reclaimed — “one way or another”.

The masks are off. The occupiers didn't even bother to put on a vaguely respectable face. They turned up in Abu Dhabi with their hatred, their vile behaviour and their fear of the Kremlin maniac.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

We keep hearing again that Russia supposedly needs security guarantees. Even though no one has attacked Russia for many decades. Since the Second World War, Moscow has not gone through even one decade without starting a war or using military force against another country.

So when the Russians now talk about a security architecture for themselves, or about security guarantees for Russia – they are hardly talking about real security. And peace.

What they really want – is to freely interfere in the affairs of other countries, and to use force whenever they want, and to make sure that no one can support liberty inside Russia because Putin wants to keep his personal power forever and pass on his imperialist and, in many ways, simply fascist views to the next generations.

From a speech at the Danish Folketing. (3/3)

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

When I received the second report from our negotiating team after their meetings in Abu Dhabi, they told me that the Russians think and say they have already occupied half of Donbas, which remains under our control. These were military officers, Russian intelligence, and they were serious about it. Our team told them, “We don’t know how you can even say such things. We have video footage, images, other things proving that these areas are under our control.”

This is the problem. Putin lives in a different reality. Of course, he will be sharing with the Americans that he needs one or two months to fully occupy the east of Ukraine. I can draw a picture for him too where I fully occupy Russia. But it’s not true. What was good is that the American side confirmed the Ukrainian assessment of what is happening on the battlefield.

This is why we need to sit and speak at the level of leaders. There are a lot of questions. Like we spoke about the city of Kherson that is divided by the river today. The Russians control one bank, we control the other. But people want to live united on both banks. This is a Ukrainian city. Such issues are sensitive, but we have to speak about them. I think that tomorrow the teams will discuss the possibility of meeting at the level of leaders. I'm not sure that Russia is ready, but we will raise this topic.

From a conversation with journalists.

Just like I said. He absolutely mixed up the names, and now has to save face. What a fucking idiot.

Jared Kushner is selling out Ukraine to Russia. You can watch it happening live on Russian media. Wild.

🇵🇱Take a note, the symbolism of this scene is profound

Seconds after the worst of humanity tore through Kraków on Saturday afternoon, the same footage shows its best: a person moving toward strangers who had been shot, with nothing to offer but empathy and the will to help.

Many people stood within reach of the wounded. The first to reach them was someone on crutches. You can watch the distance close slowly, everyone else had legs that could run, and most of them ran, which is what bodies do when they are afraid. This one person, already carrying an injury of their own, moved toward the blood and pain of fellow humans, not knowing at the time who was who... Maybe it was training, maybe instinct, maybe something learned the hard way about what it means to be on the ground and need someone. Help arrived at walking pace, from the person in the crowd with the most reason to stay where they were. Six people died in that square. The first answer to that violence came from someone who could barely walk, but walked to help anyway.

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Carve these words in granite and put them up in the main square of every capital in the free world.

This. ALL this.
All the corruption needs to be investigated.

If this is the actual Trump-Kushner plan, I think we can say the US is a full Russian ally in the destruction of democracy in Europe.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk:

Trump promised to end the war in 24 hours. Now he has decided to finance it. These are already the longest 24 hours in human history.

Witkoff called putin a humanitarian. I have interviewed hundreds of people released from russian captivity. They were beaten, raped, locked in wooden boxes, had their fingers cut off, their fingernails ripped out, and were tortured with electric shocks to their genitals. One woman described how her eye was gouged out with a spoon.

What is happening now is an imitation of a peace process.

I met a five-year-old girl in Kyiv. The russians abducted her mother because of her pro-Ukrainian views, tortured her, and repeatedly gang-raped her. They then took her to russia and fabricated a criminal case against her.

The girl hugged me, burst into tears, and began begging: “Please, bring my mommy back.” I am a human rights lawyer, but I have no legal tools to force russia to return her. I hugged the girl and promised that we would fight for her mother.

Journalist Viktoriia Roshchyna was my friend and colleague. She traveled to the occupied territories to tell the truth about russian crimes. She was abducted, tortured, and secretly transferred to russia. She was held without formal charges and without contact with the outside world.

She was denied medical care. She weighed just 30 kilograms. The russians refused to return her body to her parents for six months. When they finally did, several internal organs, her eyes, her brain, and part of her trachea were missing. We still do not know how she died.

Viktoriia believed that the truth could save thousands of lives. That people in other countries, once they learned the truth, would make the right decisions.

My friend and teacher, Professor Ihor Kozlovskyi, spent 700 days in russian captivity. For months, he was held alone in a small, dark basement cell without windows or fresh air. Rats crawled out of the sewer.

He gave philosophy lectures to the rats just to hear a human voice. He was tortured so severely that after his release, he had to learn to walk again.

Kozlovskyi told me: “Everything I have experienced does not make me see myself as a victim. The foundation of our existence is dignity. And dignity is action.”

Russian staged propaganda is so lazy, they cant even hire different actors for different videos. Please rate the CN.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

X could stop this, but it won't. This is a pro-Russian platform.

[Michael Mattox - The Mad Ox @TheRealMadOx]

A bullet through the lung, another in the arm, 12 hours of surgery. This Krakow cop wakes up and asks one thing: "Is Kuba alive?"

Kuba is Jakub Kulik, his patrol partner. Both were badly wounded stopping the gunman who killed six people in Krakow on Saturday. Polish media report both are now awake.

That's what a partner looks like.

@RobBobUK5 That's awesome- thanks for reading (and RE-reading) me!

[mark greaney @MarkGreaneyBook]

I can't wait for Dark Union to come out February 16th! In the meantime, you can revisit or catch up on the rest of my Gray Man series (or gift it to a friend)!

[maksym eristavi. @maksymeristavi]

why aren't we talking about this non-stop? this is one of the most unhinged war crimes Europe has ever seen. ever.

55 murdered. 19 are still missing under the rubble. russian mega bombs pulverised so many civilians in this underground shelter in Komyshuvakha that it has been over a week since the rescue operation began, and it is still ongoing.

@NPU_GOV_UA

[Alexandre 🇺🇦 @Toriadus]

One of the most horrific war crimes of the 21st century. And yes, it was committed by a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

He just can't, for the life of him, admit that Putin is in the wrong. He can trash his allies, threaten them, tariff them, mock and insult anyone and everyone, but never Putin.

​It's almost as if the kompromat they have on him is groundbreakingly powerful.
