People who don't understand what is good and what is evil can really be helped by this documentary, because this film is more relevant today than it was in 2008 when Latvians created it. https://t.co/4Z58jHHSHE

Prime Minister of Italy:
"Peace cannot be achieved through Ukraine's defeat or the surrender of its territories. That would be extremely dangerous for peace in Europe and a precedent for the entire world.
We will achieve peace only when Russia stops its aggression and withdraws its troops from Ukrainian territory."
It should be clear enough ..!🤷♀️
🚌 Vinnystia Withdraws Request for Aid Amidst Historical Revisionism
Vinnystia has withdrawn its request for bus assistance from its Polish sister city, Kielce, amidst a fierce debate and disinformation campaign that unfolded around issues of shared history, reported Kielce Mayor Agata Wojda. She noted that the decision to withdraw the request for the transfer of buses was made by Vinnystia Mayor Serhiy Morgunov.
"He did not do this because his city's needs suddenly disappeared. He did it because he did not want the issue of aid to a city living under wartime conditions to become an instrument of political dispute and a cause for further divisions. This is a gesture that deserves respect," stated Wojda.
This topic was deliberately raised by Russia, manipulating its own puppets in Poland precisely during the war. Russia seeks to turn Poland against Ukraine in order to defeat each country separately, one by one, in isolation. No one raises controversial issues during a war with good intentions, and history is not something that politicians and propagandists should be talking about. Historians should deal with history; politicians have other business. What we are seeing now is an obvious act of sabotage against both Ukraine and Poland, and it is in Russia's interest. This is noticeable even by what the Russian bots write and the extent to which it coincides with the statements of pro-Russian Poles, who even deny their own pro-Russian stance...
My take for @guardian: 'Drone threats are not limited to Nato’s eastern borders: they should worry London, Washington, Berlin and Paris as much as Vilnius, Riga or Tallinn. The area is not a distant frontier, and drone range is no longer limited to Russia’s immediate neighbours. But there is a larger lesson too. As long as Russia’s brutality in Ukraine continues, Europe cannot be 100% safe. We cannot insulate ourselves from this war by pretending it is happening somewhere else.'
Is Belarus preparing to reopen a northern front against Ukraine, or will Lukashenko manage to avoid being dragged into a disaster that could destroy his regime?
The pressure from Moscow is rising, and the stakes for Ukraine could not be higher.
Belarus sadly played a decisive role in the early days of the full-scale invasion by allowing Russian forces to pour across its territory toward Kyiv. That decision left Minsk with deep political and moral responsibility for the bloodshed that followed. Belarus has also sent military aid to Russia during the war.
Today, the question is whether the Kremlin will demand that Belarus repeat that role as Russia struggles to regain momentum.
Belarus alone cannot mount a major offensive into Ukraine. Its army is small, poorly equipped for sustained operations, and deeply aware that any direct clash with Ukrainian forces would end in disaster. For a renewed northern axis to be viable, Russia would need to deploy large formations, heavy equipment, and logistics into Belarus, which would force Moscow to weaken other fronts.
Lukashenko very likely understands the danger. He has spent years trying to balance between Russia and the West, and recent gestures toward Washington show he still wants some room to maneuver. A direct Belarusian entry into the war would destroy that space and lock him even tighter under Moscow’s control.
Yet, Putin desperately needs options. Russia’s extremely slow and costly progress on the battlefield increases the temptation to open new fronts, whether from Belarus or from Russian territory near Chernihiv. Ukraine must prepare for every scenario, even the worst ones, because Russia is searching for a way to reverse its deteriorating position
🇷🇺🇨🇦 Russia has threatened Canada with an “appropriate response” for supporting Ukraine
Moscow accused Ottawa of being a “warmonger” for continuing to provide military assistance to Kyiv and vowed to add Canadian defense-related facilities to its military planning.
It's always fascinating to hear lectures about peace from a country that launched the largest war in Europe since World War II.
In the Kremlin's worldview, invading your neighbor is normal. Helping the victim defend itself is the real provocation.
Reports from people, including pro footballers, from all over the world who arrived in the US ahead of the World Cup, say that the US is dog shit and US authorities are being incompetent and rude, mistreating visitors. Meanwhile, Mexico & Canada are getting praise from everyone.
How hard is it for some people to understand that Russia was, is, and always will be a common enemy of Poland, Ukraine, and the free Western world?
They have inherited envy, hatred, and a lust for power for generations. Just learn the history, both old and recent. End of story.
It’s not quantum mechanics and entanglement with a Schrödinger’s cat in it. It’s actually pretty fucking simple.
Russian political influence over other countries is decreasing. Azerbaijan – they are independent. Armenia – yesterday's elections became a big success for Armenia’s independence. I also think the Russians lost Moldova. Of course, they don't want to lose Ukraine, because an independent and free Ukraine is the biggest and politically most dangerous country for Russia.
When Ukraine joins the EU, Putin will have internal problems with different peoples, especially in the Caucasus. Different peoples across Russia will be raising questions.
From an interview with The Guardian. (1/3)
Dan Rather's right. Every story run by CBS and Bari Weiss next fall should have an asterisk superimposed: "This story was approved by Donald Trump." When a fascist authoritarian regime's in charge of what the American people should know, the country has gone full banana republic.
Coup plotter Mike Johnson authored, organized and pushed the coup plot to throw out swing state electors and overturn Joe Biden’s win, so naturally he’s pushing another coup plot by falsely claiming California elections are rigged without a shred of evidence.
"Everyone understands that this is a collapse
Putin is in a dead end: he can't stop the war and he can't win it. He can't win for objective reasons. And to stop it, he would have to admit that Russia is not as strong and great a state as he wanted"

@WW3finalboss It has long been known that the Russian people are the most lying, cowardly, and slavish people in the world. You would really like these barbarians to get what they deserve.
