RUSSIA UNDER PRESSURE: DRONE STRIKES, DEAD OFFICERS AND CHAOS INSIDE PUTIN'S WAR MACHINE 🇺🇦🇷🇺🇺🇸

A series of extraordinary reports emerging from Russia paints a picture of mounting military losses, disruption far behind the front lines, growing frustration among pro-war commentators and increasingly contradictory official narratives.

In the Nizhny Novgorod region, Ukrainian drones reportedly struck Surovatikha, a facility associated with the dismantling of decommissioned intercontinental ballistic missiles. The attack also allegedly caused the first fatality among local volunteer drone-interception teams, prompting a public expression of condolences from the regional governor.

Meanwhile, Washington's reported decision to ease restrictions on Russian diesel has triggered a fierce reaction among Russian military commentators. According to the account, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was urging American lawmakers in Kyiv to strengthen oil sanctions when, approximately six hours later, Donald Trump announced that Russia would supply 1.8 million tonnes of diesel to help lower fuel prices. The US Treasury reportedly issued General License 135 that afternoon.

The apparent contradiction was not lost on pro-Kremlin voices. The channel Colonelcassad reportedly remarked, “The strikes on refineries were so successful that the US lifted sanctions.” Former Ukrainian legislator Oleg Tsarev went further, suggesting that future Ukrainian refinery attacks could directly affect Trump's economic interests.

But perhaps the most consequential allegations concern a previously reported Ukrainian missile strike in occupied Donetsk.

Six weeks earlier, occupation leader Denis Pushilin had described an attack on a shopping centre as a strike against civilians, while Russian state media initially reported ten deaths before withdrawing the claim. According to the latest account, independent outlet Mediazona subsequently examined Russian probate court records and identified at least 20 senior military officers allegedly killed at the location, including seven full colonels. The reported casualties included the Central Military District's chief of intelligence planning and deputy chief of electronic warfare.

If substantiated, those findings would significantly change the understanding of the target and its military significance. The account further claims that the incident represented the third major headquarters loss suffered by Russia's 41st Army within a year. The identities, ranks and circumstances of the reported deaths require independent confirmation.

Elsewhere, Moscow's aviation network reportedly experienced major disruption after drones and inexpensive balloons appeared near the capital's airspace. All four major airports were allegedly affected, while an aircraft associated with Putin's presidential fleet reportedly diverted to St. Petersburg. It remains unclear whether Putin was aboard. A Russian fact-checking outlet reportedly disputed the drone-related explanation and attributed airport closures to heavy rain.

Another controversy unfolded outside Russia. Mikhail Zvinchuk, founder of the influential pro-war Rybar channel, was reportedly detained and deported from Montenegro after publicly mocking NATO border-security procedures. The account claims he also left behind an unpaid hotel bill of approximately €1,000. Dmitry Medvedev subsequently suggested abducting Western nationals to expand Russia's prisoner-exchange leverage, while other pro-war commentators reacted with a mixture of anger and ridicule.

Reports from the front line suggest equally serious internal tensions. Near Kupiansk, a Russian soldier allegedly asked a pro-war channel where he could submit the coordinates of his own regiment's command post so Ukrainian forces could strike it and end his ordeal. Separately, Russian military channels reportedly announced the capture of a settlement without identifying the location.

The account also describes confusion surrounding Major General Anton Grunis. After reportedly receiving the Hero of Russia Gold Star from Defence Minister Andrei Belousov following public praise from Putin, Grunis was allegedly killed by a Ukrainian drone strike just 14 days later. Russian state television reportedly broadcast footage celebrating his military achievements 26 days after his death, without making the timing clear.

These reports come from a compilation of battlefield claims, Russian commentary and alleged documentary findings. Several of the most dramatic details have not been independently verified, and they should not all be treated as equally established.

Nevertheless, a common theme runs through them: Ukraine is attempting to impose costs on Russia far beyond the immediate front line, while Russian authorities face persistent questions about military casualties, infrastructure security, official transparency and the effectiveness of their operations.

The contrast between Moscow's public messaging and the problems described by its own pro-war community is becoming an increasingly important part of the story. Russia continues fighting, but the reported incidents suggest that sustaining the war involves pressures that extend well beyond territorial gains and losses.

Trump could have had it all: a Nobel Peace Prize, low gas prices, and Iran on its knees.

Instead, he fucked everything up.

Instead of senselessly bombing Iran, believing in the degenerate idea that a zealous authoritarian regime would simply collapse if you killed its leadership, he could have:

1. Tightened sanctions against Russia.
2. Provided more military aid to Ukraine.
3. Combined low energy prices with the two measures above to finally bring Russia's war against Ukraine to an end and pacify Russia.
4. Worked with grateful European allies and Ukraine to form a coalition to end Iran's nuclear ambitions, instead of launching a war without a plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz and keep energy flowing.

Instead, he started useless trade wars with America's allies, without even having the legal authority to do so, cut aid to Ukraine, colluded with Russia, fucked up the global energy market, and drove up gas prices for Americans.

Now, in a desperate attempt to save his approval ratings, he's doing the exact opposite of what he should be doing.

He's threatening Ukraine with a cutoff of American weapons sales, undermining the American defense manufacturing industry in the middle of an energy crisis that he helped create.

And now, desperately trying to score political points, he's attempting to save the Russian energy sector and shift the blame for his fucked-up war in the Middle East onto Ukraine.

Buying Russian diesel will have almost zero impact on energy prices, but it could help Russia prolong its war against Ukraine for another year or two.

Trump could have strengthened America's alliances, weakened Russia, helped Ukraine win the war, contained Iran, and delivered lower energy prices to American consumers.

Instead, he's a complete fuck-up who is costing Americans and the rest of the world hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of Ukrainian lives, for no other fucking reason than his complete and utter stupidity.

La Russia non ha quelle famose 300.000 tonnellate di gasolio da immettere sul mercato mondiale. Anzi, tra luglio e agosto è stata costretta ad acquistare 368.000 tonnellate di gasolio da India e Corea del Sud perché ormai non hanno nemmeno più prodotti raffinati per uso interno.
Figuriamoci se possono esportarli.

Gli attacchi ucraini hanno compromesso del 50% le capacità di raffinazione della Russia, tant'è vero che resta ancora in vigore la legge che vieta l'esportazione di benzina e gasolio.
Ad oggi, conti alla mano, quello che un tempo era il più grande esportatore di energia al mondo, adesso è un importatore netto di carburanti.

Alla luce di ciò, ci si chiede: come farebbe la Russia, che è costretta a comprare prodotti petroliferi da altre nazioni, a stabilizzare il mercato petrolifero mondiale e a far abbassare i prezzi alla pompa?
Quale sarebbe la strategia? Comprare prodotti raffinati dall'India e dalla Corea del Sud, per poi rivenderli sul mercato mondiale? Va da sé che siamo davanti a un gioco a somma zero, che non sposta praticamente nulla sui mercati mondiali dell'energia.

Ma ammettiamo che la Russia abbia gasolio stoccato sottoterra, in qualche assurda riserva, che non esiste, o che esiste solo nelle menti di Trump e dei ciucciaputin nostrani. Come farebbe a far arrivare quel gasolio dall'altra parte del mondo? Con le navi i costi sono proibitivi, il prezzo alla pompa negli USA sarebbe ancora più alto. E soprattutto, dove passerebbero? Perché gli USA possono anche togliere le sanzioni, ma l'Unione Europea e il Regno Unito mantengono ancora divieti ferrei e rigorosi sull'energia russa. E il bello è che il 90% delle petroliere commerciali oceaniche di tutto il mondo sono assicurate da un piccolo gruppo di assicurazioni con sede a Londra e in Europa, a cui è vietato intervenire su qualsiasi nave che trasporti carburante russo.
A questo punto è lecito chiedersi: chi sarebbe quel pazzo disposto ad attraversare l'Oceano Atlantico con un'enorme petroliera multimilionaria senza assicurazione?
Ve lo dico io: nessuno.

For four years, two Ukrainian girls have been waiting to hug their mother.

Her name is Yanina Akulova. And russia has kept her from her children since October 11, 2022.

In these photos, they are still together. Smiling, making plans, believing in the future. They had no idea how much time would be stolen from them.

Yanina was known in Melitopol as a hardworking, compassionate woman who loved Ukraine and helped those in need.

On October 11, 2022, russians detained her at a checkpoint as she returned to Melitopol after arranging for her family to leave the city. She was held for over a month in an underground facility known as “the pit,” where she was tortured and forced to confess to a fabricated sabotage plot.

“They beat me so badly that I no longer cared... I signed whatever they put in front of me,” she reportedly told her family.

Yanina was later transferred to Moscow’s notorious Lefortovo detention center. She is now held in a penal colony in Russia’s Vladimir region.

She has lost 15 kilograms in captivity. Her asthma has worsened, and her health is deteriorating. A russian sham court sentenced her to nine years in prison.

Her older daughter, Vika, is 16. She knows what happened to her mother and cries every night.

Eight-year-old Zlata still hopes her mother will return soon. She cannot fully understand why the person she loves most is still not home.

Ukraine’s Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War and Human Rights Commissioner Dmytro Lubinets have included Yanina on exchange lists. Yet Russia continues to obstruct the return of civilian hostages.

Yanina is one of many Ukrainian civilians illegally imprisoned by russia. They are tortured, separated from their families, and punished for their connection to Ukraine.

We must not let the world forget her.

Vika and Zlata are growing up without their mother. Every day in captivity is time they can never get back.

Her daughters are waiting. Her family is waiting. Ukraine is waiting.

No sham sentence can justify stealing a mother's life from her children.

Yanina Akulova must come home.

[Radu Hossu 🇹🇩🇺🇦 @RaduHossu]

Elon Musk, 10 hours ago: "Zelensky has gone too far", replying on Twitter to a Trump administration post calling on Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil refineries.

This is a message to Ukrainians: not only will we publicly blame you if you continue striking Russian refineries, not only will we try to change how the world perceives you as victims and gradually turn you into the aggressors, not only will we use these lies to lift all sanctions imposed on Russia and reopen trade with them (including military trade), but we will also make sure your people die and that you have no way to defend yourselves.

This message is meant to put pressure on the Ukrainian military and government: replace Zelenskyy, or you will die because we will take away your Starlink access. Fedorov, the former Minister of Defence, who managed to convince Musk to shut down Starlink for the Russians, called for the same thing during that strange period when he seemed to have lost his mind. I am convinced he hadn't lost his mind at all, but was acting out of a belief that Trump, Musk & Co. would back him as Ukraine's next president.

Starlink is vital to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukraine's technological edge, particularly evident in its deployment of drones on the battlefield, would be completely crippled without Starlink. Ukraine's dependence on this communications system is enormous. Shutting it down would have a far greater impact on the front lines in the short and medium term than cutting off all financial and intelligence assistance from every single ally combined.

Right now, Ukraine, backed by the European Union, is holding its ground against Russia, North Korea, partly China (partly, because a great deal also comes from China to Ukraine), and partly America.

What the Trump administration and Elon Musk are doing is called **aiding the perpetrator**. If we were to examine this objectively through the lens of international law, we would find precedents in which similar actions (commercial or political) led to those involved being held accountable and convicted by the International Criminal Court.

I have no expectation that international law will be upheld in today's geopolitical climate. However, we have reached a point where it can be argued that these individuals are on the verge of becoming (or may already be) directly or indirectly responsible, through their support, assistance, and encouragement of the aggressor, for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

In just the past four days, Russia has killed at least 10 children in three separate attacks (Pryluky, Kramatorsk, and Zaporizhzhia), with the total death toll from these three attacks alone reaching 75 as of the time I am writing this.

Under the Rome Statute, these attacks fall into the category of war crimes when considered individually, and crimes against humanity when considered collectively.

These attacks against civilians will only increase, just as past statistics have shown they have done every single time Putin, Russia, and Trump have coordinated their actions.

I am therefore putting this on record: this new coordination will lead to more civilians being killed in the near future, which brings me to the clear conclusion that the Trump administration and its associates bear at least partial responsibility for these crimes.

Every world leader, every head of state, whether an ally of the United States or not, must demand accountability for these actions.

Ukraine must receive even stronger support from the other members of the Ramstein Group and the Coalition of the Willing.

And for us — Europe in general and Romania in particular — Ukraine's victory must become a top strategic priority.

Three weeks after signing a sanctions bill written to strangle Putin’s war economy, Trump got on a call with Putin and agreed to open American and global markets to Russian fuel. Pete Hegseth said the country would get to watch a firing squad, and then watched everyone leave him standing there alone. And Trump spent the week campaigning for the Nobel Peace Prize in public. “I settled eight wars,” he told reporters. “It would be a great discredit to them” if he did not win. He did not win.

BREAKING: “I WILL NEVER STOP!” Activist "JoJo from Jerz" reveals how Trump and Melania tried to SILENCE her with legal threats – and the single mother REFUSED to surrender!
Joanne Carducci, the firebrand progressive blogger known to more than a million followers as JoJo from Jerz, has revealed a months-long legal ordeal that she says left her crying every day, terrified of losing her home, and desperately trying to protect her two children.

Her account begins with threatening letters from attorneys representing Donald and Melania Trump, demanding that she retract statements, apologize, and pay money over things she'd posted online. According to Carducci, the demands eventually became entirely about Melania.

According to Carducci, the Trumps' attorney initially demanded that she retract statements she'd made online, including her claim that Trump incited the deadly January 6 insurrection. She was also ordered to issue a full apology, admit that she had knowingly lied, and agree to a financial payment, with just days to respond and the threat of punitive damages hanging over her.

And the price of refusing? Carducci says the lawyers eventually demanded a staggering $1 MILLION from a single mother who had once earned $16 an hour as a school paraprofessional.

“They would take my home,” she wrote in a deeply personal and powerful Substack essay.

Carducci says she kept the ordeal secret from her children, even as she struggled with the possibility that the house she'd worked so hard to provide for them could be taken away.
“She was swinging a fucking wrecking ball at a mosquito, and my children lived in the building,” Carducci wrote of Melania.

But Carducci refused to retract her criticism or issue an apology.

Former New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin stepped in to help her without charge, providing legal advice and support while she faced demands she says she could never have afforded to fight alone.

Eventually, according to Carducci, the letters stopped. She never apologized, never retracted her statements, and never agreed to the demands.

What finally persuaded her to tell the world was watching Melania Trump promote women's empowerment on television.

“She’s for women’s empowerment, and I’m a fucking natural blonde,” Carducci wrote.

The contrast is striking: a first lady publicly encouraging women to find their voices, while a woman who had used hers says she spent months fearing the consequences of refusing to be silent.

Carducci acknowledges that she's still frightened. She also insists that her work as a satirist, mocking powerful public figures, is an exercise of her right to free expression.

And after months of keeping the ordeal from even her own children, she has a message for the people she says tried to intimidate her:

“Because I am never, EVER going to stop.”

“It’s her. Oh God, it’s really her.” 22-year-old Alina was pulled from the rubble seven hours after a Russian guided aerial bomb struck Zaporizhzhia.

She spent seven hours trapped beneath a concrete slab. And throughout that time, she remained conscious.

Yesterday, October 10, Zaporizhzhia was awakened at 4:48 a.m. by a series of powerful explosions. The Russians dropped five guided aerial bombs on the city.

Some of them struck residential buildings. A massive wall collapsed in a five-story apartment building, while a three-story building was almost completely destroyed.

Dozens of people were trapped beneath the rubble, including families with children.

More than seven hours of searching. “Minutes of silence” at the ruins, as rescuers listened for signs of life. But no voices answered.

Then suddenly, one of the rescuers shouted: “Quick, find a cervical collar!”

There was someone alive beneath a concrete slab.

“The girl was trapped under a slab. After it was lifted, she was found in a small enclosed space. She had enough room to breathe and had even remained conscious,” volunteer Oleksandr explained.

It took almost another hour to free her. Her legs and one arm were pinned down. First, rescuers stabilized her neck and checked for bleeding and fractures. Only then did they form a human chain to carry her to the ambulance.

“She’s doing fine. She was incredibly brave. Her name is Alina. She’s 22 years old, just like me,” Oleksandr said.

As paramedics examined Alina, her female relatives approached the ambulance.

“It’s her. Oh God, it’s really her.”

She was the third person rescued alive from the site.

But that same morning, volunteers had also pulled the body of a 9-year-old girl from the rubble. She was already dead.

“I have mixed emotions. This morning, my nerves were starting to give out. But when we find people alive, I feel so happy,” Oleksandr said.

He fled occupied Berdiansk in 2022. After a Russian strike on a nine-story apartment building on Zestafonska Street killed 19 people, he realized he could no longer stand on the sidelines.

After Alina was taken to the hospital, the rescuers rested for a few minutes. They drank some water. Some lit cigarettes.

And then they went right back to work.

There could still be people trapped beneath the rubble. Among them, a grandmother and a teenager.

They keep searching.

Because they believe another miracle is possible.

It was right during Russia’s ballistic attack on Kyiv today that we spoke with the President of France. Thank you, Emmanuel, for your support.

The need for additional air defense packages for Ukraine is evident, and we are working with all our partners to secure the necessary decisions. Unfortunately, the threat of further missile strikes remains particularly high in the coming days. It is important to step up pressure on Russia in response, and bold, joint steps must be taken.

We discussed the challenges posed by the easing of sanctions on oil products. The Russians must feel that they will have no capacity left to prolong the war. We are coordinating substantively and preparing meetings. Thank you, France!

Americans who identify as gay are FINALLY starting to wake up to Islam

“I'm a gay guy that lives in Michigan that's reading the Quran, and the reason I'm reading this is because I've been called Islamophobic by people in the gay community because I've expressed genuine concern over the state of how gays and women are treated in Islamic-dominated countries.

I genuinely do not understand how somebody could look at a place that's Muslim-dominated and say that they want that here, especially as a gay man. It makes no sense.

It's not like a hatred thing. It's not like a political argument. It's like those are not conditions that would be conducive to the way that I want to live my life here.

— you should not and cannot use that to infringe on my right to be who I am, as long as we're not being violent towards each other, right? So that's what America is all about, and a great country. Like, we're very, very lucky to be here.

So I just don't get what the gays are thinking. They're literally they've lost it. They have lost it — they're like actually mentally ill. This is like a mental illness at this point that these gays are so in support of something that's so obviously bad for them. I cannot understand”

FINALLY gay people are starting to realize there is a problem with Islam. Here is a list of Muslim countries you can be killed or beaten for being gay

- Iran: Death penalty under the Islamic Penal Code for male same-sex penetrative acts
- Saudi Arabia: Death penalty
- Yemen: Death by stoning
- Afghanistan: Death penalty
- Brunei: Death by stoning under the Syariah Penal Code for male same-sex acts
- Mauritania: Death by public stoning
- Nigeria (northern states): Death penalty
- Qatar: Death penalty possible under Sharia for Muslims
- United Arab Emirates: Death penalty possible under Sharia
- Somalia: Death penalty possible under Sharia
- Pakistan: Death penalty technically possible under Sharia

Other Muslim-majority or Sharia-influenced countries with criminal penalties such as imprisonment, flogging and more

Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Gambia, Kuwait, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Morocco, Oman, Senegal, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and more with punishments that include years to life in prison with flogging and fines

[Lesia Vasylenko @lesiavasylenko]

Another interesting number to enquirer about: how much diesel does the #US EXPORT. As far as I know, USA has always been a major diesel exporter, covering its own internal needs and selling the surplus. So what happened now?

I’ll tell you what happened. The BIG BEAUTIFUL DEAL is a BIG BEAUTIFUL SCAM. All to keep #putin happy and bombing.

Since 1950s the USA has almost NEVER imported diesel. America always had more than enough to cover its own consumption. It sold an average of 1.2-1.6 million barrels A DAY of surplus diesel on global markets. And in 2026 the US is still selling abroad. 1.5 million barrels/day to be exact. To Europe and Latin America.

On the rare occasion when the US did have to import, it did so from #Canada. This was a logistically logical historical arrangement benefiting North-Western States. Delivery of Canadian diesel across the border was cheaper than transporting it up all the way from the US Gulf Coast.

BUT in September 2026 the TRUMP TARIFFS come into effect. Suddenly the 50% tariffs added aggressive price premiums to Canadian imports and caused a significant decline in normal cross-border logistical fuel deliveries.

Could this diesel market disturbance been avoided? YES

Would it have saved US from having to import from #russia? YES

Would more Ukrainians have had to die for this? NO

But Trump chose a different route.

Diesel import from #russia is a choice, not a need for the USA.

300K barrels makes no difference for an economy that consumes 5.3 million barrels a day. 500K barrels from russia will be an equally insignificant drop in the ocean of the US market. Even 4 million barrels spread over TWO YEARS will not make the pump prices drop for American truck drivers and farmers.

WHAT difference does the russia diesel import make and for WHOM?

1) putin. He gets extra cash for his war machine to keep going.

Most importantly, he gets the US to send the signal globally that sanctions against russia can be eased. After all the US eased them, so others can now follow suit. This means more cash for russia to be killing more Ukrainians.

2) Trump. He gets to stay friends with putin AND continue making money of daily US diesel exports (especially now that global diesel prices are high). All while talking about saving the American farmer and truck driver.

3) Americans. Will not get lower diesel prices and will not get more diesel (not that they don’t have enough of what is produced in-country).

4) Ukrainians. Will suffer more attacks from russia, who was going to intensifying the bombing campaign anyway, but now will do so even more emboldened by the USA.

5) President @ZelenskyyUa and Ukrainian military will need to carry out more attacks on rusdisn oil sector. Without patriots and US support, it’s the only way for the Ukrainian president to protect the people.

HOLY MOTHERFUCKER! 😱

The reported Trump and Putin “diesel” deal keeps getting worse. According to reports, American negotiators discussed releasing billions of dollars in frozen Russian assets, potentially reviving a proposal involving up to $100 BILLION, in exchange for a limited ceasefire in Ukraine. And much of that money is under European jurisdiction!

Now imagine what else has been discussed behind closed doors. How much more is Trump willing to give Putin? What about Ukraine? What about America’s allies? What about the entire Western world? At what point does appeasing Putin become more important than defending the interests of the United States and its allies?

And WHY? What the fuck is driving all of this? I don’t know. Does Putin have something on Trump? Something connected to Epstein? I have no evidence of that, but the question of why Trump would entertain concessions of this magnitude deserves serious scrutiny.

Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is defending itself. And now we’re hearing reports about potentially handing Russia access to billions in frozen assets in exchange for a limited pause in its own fucking aggression.

What else is happening behind those closed doors?

Ламали ребра, роздягали і знімали на фото. А звук скотча, який розмотують, - тепер це найстрашніший звук у її житті.

Анжела Піцу півроку провела в російському полоні. Їй ламали ребра, жорстоко били, наказували роздягатися і фотографували оголеною. Тримали у кількох катівнях, зокрема і в Оленівці.

У 49 років Анжела пішла до ЗСУ - спершу як кухар, а згодом, опанувавши артилерійську справу, стала оператором протитанкових ракетних комплексів.

Повномасштабна війна застала її у Маріуполі.

"Все було - напруга, постійна напруга. Рано, четверта година, уже вони летіли, винищувачі і бомбардували", - згадує вона.

Коли захищатися було вже нічим, військові вирішили виходити з Маріуполя.

На допиті в Оленівці кати зламали Анжелі ребра. "Я кажу: я військова, я служу там. Підходить інша людина, у тактичних рукавицях. І цією кісточкою вниз - як ударила мені в ребра, що біль одразу віддав у серце".

У тісній камері було майже 30 жінок військових із Сумщини, Тернополя, Львова та Маріуполя. Трималися разом, щоб не зламатися психологічно.

На День незалежності троє з них - Віка, Анжела і Зоряна - заспівали гімн України. Тихо, але так, що було чути. І за стіною, у сусідній камері, його підхопили.

Найстрашнішими моментами Анжела називає катування побратимів і звук розгортання скотчу. Тепер він змушує її здригатися.

1 жовтня військових вивезли з Оленівки до колонії у Воронезькій області. Там наказали роздягнутись і помитись, а потім жінку фотографували.

"Я кажу: що ви шукаєте, що ви робите?. - "Я тату ищу", відповіли їй. Верх поставили, там якийсь довгий номер - і почали фотографувати. Я в цей момент просто згадала Велику Вітчизняну Війну".

17 жовтня до камери зайшли вже не конвоїри, а військові. Українських полонених повезли на обмін.

"Ми стояли нещасні такі, худі. Нам дали щось перекусити. Боже, ми як побачили там ковбаску, сир - це не повірити: в одній руці хліб, в другій ковбаса. Стільки часу не бачити нормальну їжу".

Мрія, яка допомогла Анжелі витримати полон - обійняти батьків та доньок - нарешті здійснилась.

"Я дуже тобою пишаюся, ти в мене сама гарна квіточка на світі, я тебе дуже люблю, моя хороша", - каже вона своїй донечці по відеозв'язку.

Після пережитого Анжела пройшла реабілітацію. Сьогодні їй допомагає хобі, віра у перемогу і найбільше бажання - повернути з полону усіх побратимів.

Fury Over Putin-Puppet Trump's Submissive Diesel Deal With the Murderous Russian Dictator Sparks Bipartisan Republican Rebellion

Even Republicans are disgusted by Trump's fawning wimpiness when it involves murderous Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. In an extraordinary rebuke of the regim's foreign policy, Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania has stepped forward to lead a bipartisan coalition introducing the Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act. This legislative push is a direct effort to block any and all purchases of Russian oil following what critics are calling Trump's submissive backroom deal with Putin.

The fascist authoritarian Trump regime has heavily touted the agreement as a historic win for America, but independent analysis reveals that the actual amount of fuel expected from the deal is completely minuscule. According to tracking data, the entire transaction amounts to literally 30 minutes worth of oil for the month of November, proving that the president gave away significant geopolitical leverage for virtually nothing.

Because House Speaker Mike Johnson may try to protect the Putin-puppet by blocking the bill, lawmakers plan to bypass leadership entirely by launching a discharge petition. This procedural maneuver requires 218 signatures to bypass the Speaker and force the legislation directly onto the House floor. Given the growing fury over Trump's obsequious behavior, supporters expect the bill to secure the necessary signatures and pass the House with an overwhelming, veto-proof majority.

Overall, this past week alone, the Russians have carried out more than 200 strikes on our electricity generation and transmission facilities in Ukraine, and another 17 strikes this week targeted gas and oil facilities. They have killed more than 150 of our people, and more than 700 people have been wounded.

Ukraine has proposed many de-escalatory steps. Putin had one answer to all of them – “nyet.” We do hope that he will finally say something to America, Ukraine, and the entire world that will lead to a real and dignified peace.

Ukraine wants peace. The question is whether Russia does. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have received all the appropriate orders. We are awaiting clear details of the dialogue between America and Russia – and we expect Putin to follow through on what President Trump said.
