A grandmother from Chernihiv region remembers how when the Russians were killing civilians, they asked her how old she was, she answered 96 and then the Russians left her alive but destroyed everything... She says with tears in her eyes that the Russians are destroying her country...
Meanwhile Putin invades Ukraine because it wants to be a democracy and free market system aligned with the West, and delivers ultimatums to the Baltics and other neighbors.
Putin: NATO started the war. It wasn't Russia who started the special military operation.
His lies are getting more and more delusional.
"Russia is standing alone against the entire collective West, represented by the well-known North Atlantic bloc - NATO.
All NATO countries are intensifying their efforts and doing everything possible to organize these hostile actions against Russia and, as they believe, bring the war they unleashed against Russia to a victorious conclusion.
It was they who started this war.
It wasn't us who launched the hostilities at the beginning of the 'special military operation'."
Get used to it. Pilgrimages to Moscow and state TV spots. Ukraine is doing well. “The spirit of Anchorage” is no more. And the Russians who never trusted the U.S. to begin with, even under Trump, are looking to stir trouble in the MAGA-verse. A Western intel source told me Malofeev will be involved in this at the financial level. https://t.co/bTyZLFYSUY

He's a nasty piece of work.
A Ukrainian Defender with the callsign "Demon" carried his wounded brother-in-arms, "Bora-Bora," on his shoulders for almost 20 kilometers after he suffered a severe leg injury.
The Warriors spent four days making their way to safety under constant Russian shelling and the threat of drone attacks.
"I don't know what gave him the strength, because I wanted to give up halfway through. He's a guardian angel who came down from heaven, took me on his shoulders, and carried me out," Bora-Bora shared.

In Russian-backed Transnistria, bananas are now being sold on an installment plan. 😂😂😂
A local shop has introduced a three-month installment option for purchasing fruit and vegetables. As reported by the media outlet "Astra," a staff member explained that one in five customers now asks to buy groceries on credit—intending to pay only on payday.
Transnistria—a territory recognized internationally only by Russia—is on the brink of economic collapse following the halt of Russian gas supplies via Ukraine. The region is grappling with constant power and utility outages as well as irregular wage payments, while local authorities pin their hopes on Russian aid... 😂😂😂😂😂
Ukraina motittaa Krimiä. Kerchin salmen silta on pääosin käyttökelvoton ja junalautat salmen ylittämiseksi tuhottu. Nyt huoltoreitit mantereen kautta tulen alla siltoja katkotaan. Krimillä jo polttoainepulaa ja paniikki kasvaa.

An AI-generated Medvedev "conquers" Russia's enemies.
(Medvedev published this video on his Telegram channel. He was probably too drunk to film himself, so needed an avatar).
Looks like things aren't going well in Russia - these videos are getting shorter and cheaper.
