There are no flights over Ukraine because of russia. Soon, there will be no flights over russia because of russia. If they don’t like that, then they can stop the war.
❗️Jeden Hansel, der mir mit „Wer hat damit angefangen?“ oder „Die Ukraine hat zuerst zivile Objekte attackiert“ kommt, blockiere ich umgehend.
🚨Russland verwüstet seit fast fünf Jahren systematisch zivile Objekte in der Ukraine und macht ganze Städte dem Erdboden gleich.
Mariinka⤵️. Drei Jahre vor dem ersten ukrainischen Deep Strike.
Lasst euch ein Hirn wachsen, ihr Leuchten.🤦♂️
@CaptG2@zerohedge Russia was supposed to take Kyiv in days, yet years later Ukraine is still fighting, and killed the entire professional Russian army … that’s not winning?
A child on a bicycle. A Russian drone. Death.
How many more dead civilians will it take for Europe to move from mere concern to concrete action? Russia killed a boy on a bicycle near Kramatorsk with a drone—just for the sake of it.
The world is tired of hearing: "We condemn this," "We stand with Ukraine"....
Our response must not be lethargy and fear. Europe must act: strengthen Ukraine, exert maximum pressure on Russia, and consistently prosecute war crimes.
Looking away is not a strategy.
At first the Russians tried to pretend murdering a bunch of civilians was Ukraine's fault somehow, but then they decided it was too much fun to post videos of the impacts and the wounded people so they are just celebrating how many people died instead.
"Putin is a weak man."
Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul @McFaul, outlined three reasons why he believes Putin is weak:
▪️ "A strong and smart leader has the ability to receive information and make decisions based on it. Putin doesn't. Everyone around him tells him what he wants to hear. When I was ambassador, it was obvious he was receiving information only from the FSB, the KGB, and the SVR."
▪️ "Putin is afraid of everything and everyone, including independent media. A strong person wouldn't have arrested Navalny, let alone killed him. That's not a strong leader - that's a weak leader."
▪️ "He is a very ideological leader. He has personal interests. He is waging this terrible war [against Ukraine], which has already been going on for four and a half years. Only an irrational person makes such insane decisions.
Putin's belief that he's a hero with a place in history shows he lacks rationality."
This week Kyiv was hit by missiles & Irish politicians are STILL defending the refinery supplying Russia’s war machine.
Today, another ship sailed from Ireland to Russia.
For years, the government tried to cover this up. Now the truth is coming out
Watch my full investigation:
UPDATE: I’ve long said, Russia’s land mass was a key strategic peacetime advantage. In war, it’s a liability.
In a revolution, it will be a frigging disaster.
Today is 37 years since the Tiananmen Massacre
On this day in 1989, the Chinese Communist Party ordered the People's Liberation Army to open fire on its own citizens.
Peaceful pro-democracy students and workers who gathered in Beijing's Tiananmen Square demanding freedom, anti-corruption, and basic human rights were crushed under tanks and gunfire.
The protests began in mid-April 1989, triggered by the death of reformist leader Hu Yaobang. On May 13, students began a hunger strike. Martial law was declared on May 20, but protesters remained peaceful.
In the early hours of June 4, troops advanced with tanks and live ammunition. Soldiers fired on unarmed civilians blocking their path in the streets surrounding the square.
Hundreds to thousands were killed. Thousands more were imprisoned, tortured, or disappeared.
To this day, the Chinese government censors all mention of it, erases it from history books, and threatens anyone who remembers.
Ukrainian long-range drones destroyed 2 Russian Tu-142 planes used for long-range maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), reconnaissance at an airfield in Taganrog last night.
The planes can carry torpedoes, mines, and anti-ship missiles.
On the attack on the dormitory in Starobilsk: Ukraine says it was one of the headquarters of Russia’s Rubikon drone unit. Russia says it was an attack on civilians.
In this specific case, it is hard to say for sure what happened because of the fog of war and constant Russian lies.
But we do know that Russia uses teenagers to help build drones at the Alabuga factory in Tatarstan. We know it because they advertised this in several marketing videos like the one below.
A drone factory is a legitimate military target, but when Russia hires 15-year-olds to build drones, it also creates a hybrid strategy: if the factory is attacked, Russia can claim that Ukraine is killing Russian children.
The real crime is putting minors to work on drones in a place Russia knows is a military target.
