Ever since Putin’s 2022 blitzkrieg failed, his theory of victory has rested on a single assumption: that time was on its side, and that sooner or later the West would offer at the negotiating table what Moscow could not achieve on the battlefield.
Now, as that illusion fades, the Kremlin is escalating tensions with NATO in a last attempt to lure the West into a negotiation trap, fracture support for Ukraine, and divert us from our course.
We see this strategy for what it is. And our message remains: the only way to end the suffering is simple: end the aggression, withdraw behind Russia’s internationally recognized borders, and stay there.
@JJensen22324640@KyivIndependent You know they actually did. In the beginning of the 90ies. Almost nobody answered the call. It’s fine ‘tho. No quarrel is going on between the language groups here.
‼️⚡️OMG, this is next-level trolling! 😅 Zelenskyy released an official presidential decree allowing Russia to hold its parade in Moscow, specifically stating that Ukraine would exclude Red Square from its strikes for the duration of the parade—while also including the exact military coordinates of Red Square in the decree.

@_Benche_@vvianev@Spicospina@DeleteTheNats That’s great. Mind you, our declaration of independence starts with words: “To all the peopleS (wrong spelling in English but you get the point) of Estonia” and we were the first in Europe to grant the Jewish community cultural autonomy. Far ahead of other “old” countries.
@_Benche_@vvianev@Spicospina@DeleteTheNats Estonian here, not antisemitic. Still- in order to participate in aforementioned civil duties- knowledge of the local language is necessary. Russian passport, a temporary living permit and a militant attitude towards the natives is not enough for us to let you participate.
🇳🇱 MEP Reinier van Lanschot: Until every Ukrainian is free to trade a gun for a paintbrush, to swap bunkers for sports fields, participation of Russians in cultural or sporting events is an insult to the memory of the dead and a mark of shame for any institution that hosts them!
@FeatherladyNW@viktoria89640 The “inch deal” has been debunked long time ago. This aside, the countries in the animation that do not say russia on them applied for nato to never be on such red infographic again. Eradicating 20% of their people during occupation doesn’t help relations. https://t.co/nkZSpLQsuw
@viktoria89640 The “inch forward” deal has been debunked many times but here it is again. https://t.co/nkZSpLQsuw
Leaving this aside- see those little red countries in your animation that does not say russia on them? They applied for Nato because they never want to be on the red part again.
@MikeYaroslav08@DevanaUkraine Every time there’s a mass grave with women and kids bodies in it, or a photograph of animal carts full of families getting sent to siberian gulag… a wanket shows up saying “these da nazis”.
@mfa_russia@NATO Oh snap. So we have a written piece of a screenshot of a paper, interpreted, protocolled by a secretary… and a man’s word, on video, in front of our eyes.
Strong words about evil and defeat, little man. Passionate. Childish ‘tho.
@mfa_russia@NATO No “inch deal” has been made and everyone knows it. Including you.
There’s always a good time to post this as an answer to this blatant lie:
💪🇺🇦 Ukrainian Vladislav Rudnev won “gold” in combat sambo at the World Games-2025 in Chengdu, China, defeating (beating) Russian champion Hovhannes Abgaryan, who participated in a ‘neutral’ status.
