Thread. A warning to Americans about a potentially very dark and grim future if we keep going down this current path. I understand this may seem exaggeratory and conspiracy theory like even, but geopolitical I believe this is all possible to some extent at least.
Yermak being under the microscope is a flex, not a failure. It shows Ukraine is actually trying to clean up.
Try investigating Putin’s inner circle in Russia and you will find out why they aren't a democracy
Give it a week or two and the commies will call yesterday's Armenian election a Nazi, Zionist, Epstein class, Jewish, Color Revolution Coup or something.
I congratulate Armenia on holding democratic and free elections, and @NikolPashinyan on his victory. This is also a victory for Armenia’s sovereignty, your independence, and your right to live the way you choose. We wish you success.
Ukraine is ready to expand our cooperation, and now is precisely the time for the European Union to provide real support to Armenia and do everything necessary to ensure that people feel their lives are better thanks to their relationship with Europe. This is a test for the European Union. It is important not to lose time or miss opportunities.
Well, it looks like Russia has suffered yet another (entirely predictable) foreign policy defeat.
🇦🇲 Armenia appears to have voted today to leave the Kremlin's sphere of influence and move closer to the free world.
Once again, Russia's invasion of Ukraine has proven to be the beginning of the countdown to the final collapse of the Russian Empire.
The continued stupidity and brutally self-destructive mistakes of this KGB clique across the region will drive the remaining nails into the coffin, and 🇺🇦Ukraine will be sure to finish the job with a shovel.
Ukraine‘s president Zelenskyy in an interview with Skynews disclosed that Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich came to Kyiv, Ukraine. This secret meeting took place recently and Zelenskyy made clear that Ukraine is not going to surrender any parts of Ukraine, including Donbas. Zelenskyy said that the only compromise he is willing to take is an unconditional ceasefire.
This are interesting news. Abramovich would have never come to Kyiv if this wasn’t sanctioned by Putin. In other words, Putin blinked.
I'm not sure the Irish understand the damage the recent story of their pumping economic support into Putin's war machine is doing to their reputation in Central/East Europe. The idea of Ireland standing on the side of the oppressed against imperialists is gone, probably forever.
Ukrainian forces have damaged and temporarily put out of action the highly essential Chonhar bridge leading out of Crimea forcing Russian forces to divert logistics which is going to cause massive disruption for Southern Logistics.
HODGES: For Russia, it's absolutely humiliating, for their military and government, that Ukrainian drones flying almost uninterrupted through Russian airspace to hit targets deep inside Russia.
The ones that hit St. Petersburg traveled about 5 hours through Russian airspace. How embarrassing that Russians couldn't identify it, track it, or knock it down somewhere along the way.
I think Russians will continue doing the only thing they can do, which is to hit civilian targets. They're not gaining anything on the ground. The great Black Sea Fleet is no longer a factor, and they can't seem to stop Ukrainian attacks of different types.
The one thing that Ukrainians have not been able to completely stop, for now, is Russian missile attacks against Ukrainian civilian targets.
And what utter nonsense when Kremlin talks about how they have to retaliate somehow, or that somehow Ukraine is the aggressor.
⚡️ Update: Zelensky confirms another drone strike on St. Petersburg Oblast ahead of Putin's economic forum finale.
"It is time to end this war. But Russia's ruler wants to keep fighting. That is why Ukrainian sanctions against this aggression are working," President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media.

Руйнування росіянами Каховської греблі в цей день три роки тому – не лише акт екоциду та воєнний злочин.
Катастрофу, яка знищила врожаї, позбавила людей питної води й забрала життя, завдала збитків інфраструктурі, варто розглядати саме як свідчення геноцидної війни та свідомої політики кремля, спрямованої на знищення України. Це не просто порушення звичаїв війни. Це чіткий маркер меж допустимого, і російська федерація не обмежує себе в методах, беззастережно втілюючи погрози путіна.
Добре пам’ятаємо його фразу «Ми готові показати вам, що означає для України справжня декомунізація», сказану за три дні до початку повномасштабного вторгнення, в день визнання москвою так званих «ДНР» і «ЛНР». Це не випадкові збіги, а елементи чіткої злочинної послідовності: від заяв про сумнів у легітимності нашої держави до воєнних злочинів проти України.
За таке має бути відповідальність. І наше завдання – завдання всього цивілізованого світу – подбати про найвище покарання для тих, хто ухвалював рішення та виконував накази.
Слава Україні!
