This sums up the latest news pretty well:

£120m sent to Pakistan last month

The UK needs a general election and some people need to go to jail for treason

@kvistp Un-fucking-believable.

@JosephGelman LOL. No.

In April 2022, a 12-year-old Russian girl named Masha Moskalyova was told in art class to draw a picture supporting russian troops in Ukraine.

Instead, she drew a Ukrainian mother protecting her child as russian missiles flew toward them.

On the Ukrainian flag she wrote, “Glory to Ukraine.” On the russian flag: “No to war. No to Putin.”

Her school reported her to the authorities.

Police began investigating her father, Alexei Moskalyov, a single father who had raised Masha largely on his own. They searched his social media and discovered posts criticizing russia’s invasion and documenting russian atrocities in Bucha.

In December 2022, around a dozen russian security officers raided their home. They ransacked it, seized their computers, phones, and savings.

Alexei later said that during interrogations, officers beat him and slammed his head against the wall and floor. They blasted the russian national anthem at full volume while questioning him.

Eventually, the regime charged him with repeatedly “discrediting” the russian military because of his anti-war social-media posts.

Masha was taken away from him and placed in a state “social rehabilitation” center.

Alexei was sentenced to two years in a penal colony.

He later described horrific conditions there: a tiny punishment cell roughly two meters long, freezing temperatures, rats crawling out of the sewer, and days when he was forced to stand for as long as 16 hours because the bunk was locked against the wall.

Meanwhile, his daughter wrote to him.

“Dad, don’t give up.”

“You are my hero.”

They were separated for more than a year and a half.

On October 15, 2024, Alexei finally walked out of prison.

Masha was waiting for him.

Five days later, they fled russia.

They first escaped to Armenia and applied for a German humanitarian visa. After waiting for more than a year, their case stalled when Germany suspended the relevant humanitarian admission program.

Then France stepped in.

In March 2026, Masha and Alexei received French humanitarian visas and flew to Paris.

And on July 17, 2026, France granted them political asylum.

Today, Masha is drawing again and hopes to pursue art. She also writes and has spoken out in support of russian political prisoners.

When asked whether, knowing everything that happened afterward, she would still have made that drawing, Masha said she would.

“One only lives once.”

One drawing.

A child saying no to war.

And for that, the russian state destroyed their home, separated a father from his daughter, imprisoned him, and drove them both into exile.

This is what dictatorship looks like.

@FUDdaily Why not send an e-mail to Putin, asking him to stop the war? I'm sure that'll help...

Weird thing to do if you’re “threatened by NATO expansion”

@Trailer_Swift69 The mushrooms look like they were cooked with the glow from the backlight of a Casio watch from the 80's.

@Zaphod2042 It sounds like something a doctor would give you to soothe your piles. Still, it's better than "Edgewing"...

@davidkurten You are talking utter bollocks, and you know it. No passport was reported to have been found. This is literally made up bullshit for gullible idiots.

[Aeronaut @Aeronaut4]

@AmarkitLimited @patcondell As they are legally permitted to do so. Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, Article 51 protects the "inherent right of individual or collective self-defence" if an armed attack occurs against a member state.

[Aeronaut @Aeronaut4]

@John48231 @patcondell NATO hasn't fired any Storm Shadows. You're thinking of Ukraine. Any proof of these supposed combat related deaths of even a single NATO troop?

[Aeronaut @Aeronaut4]

@wasnwrongpatty @HackneyAbbott Imbecile. Always has been. She was shagging Jeremy Corbyn at one point, don't forget that...

@jemmm85517813 Spetznaz007 is a Nigerian cosplaying as a russian. He's well known for being a jingoistic russian propagandist, and a persistent one at that.

[Aeronaut @Aeronaut4]

@FarminChimp @jemmm85517813 They also said they weren't going to invade Ukraine, on the very day before they actually invaded Ukraine in 2022.

[Aeronaut @Aeronaut4]

@jemmm85517813 They'll do what they've ALWAYS done, and use hybrid warfare, and propaganda. Unfortunately, the one thing they're really good at is disinformation, they contradict themselves, the whole point is to cause confusion. They're also transferring technology to Iran and North Korea.

U.S. President Donald Trump:

"Now that we have it under U.S.A. control, should we change the name Hormuz Strait to TRUMP STRAIT??? Like America itself, it would be “hotter” than ever before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP".

@SpeechUnion As always, the process is the punishment.
