Russia's mask is off. State Duma deputy speaker Pyotr Tolstoy just admitted on air that their strategy isn't victory through combat, it's deliberate, sustained terror to break the Ukrainian people so completely that they greet Russian troops with hands raised in surrender.
A mainstream, credible perspective. the second-highest figure in the Russian parliament openly calling for the mass demoralization of civilians through constant bombing.
They're doing exactly that right now in Kyiv region. What used to be night-time alerts lasting a few hours has become all-day, round-the-clock drone terror designed to last weeks and months.
The capital and its 5 million residents have been turned into a frontline zone. Old civil defense protocols are useless.
The goal is psychological collapse: exhaust, divide, crush the will to resist. They spent 30 years lying about who the “brotherly people” really are.
The same ones who now say "They're not to blame. just children" while planning to bomb those children into submission.
Every Russian missile and drone hitting residential buildings isn't random. It's policy.
Tolstoy said it out loud: they want Ukrainians so broken they stop fighting. Moscow has shifted from failed blitzkrieg to industrialized psychological warfare against civilians because they cannot win on the battlefield.
They are losing men at a catastrophic rate. Their objectives are collapsing.
So they doubled down on terror, the weapon of those too weak to fight a real military campaign. Ukraine will not break.
The more they terrorize, the clearer it becomes what we are actually fighting: not an army, but a terrorist state that openly declares its intention to bomb civilians until national spirit collapses. That spirit isn't collapsing.
It's hardening. And every day of their barbarism only ensures that when this ends, there will be zero mercy for the butchers who planned it.
James Carville: “The thing Senator Schumer and presumptive Speaker Jeffries need to understand is every Democrat in the country thinks these people are a pile of treasonous felons. If you treat them as anything other than a pack of treasonous felons, Democrats are not going to like it and they’re gonna separate from you. These are rotten ass people who don’t give a shit about the United States. We’re not looking for backdoor deals with them at all. We don’t give a shit about them, we don’t like them, we think they all oughta have due process and equal protection and all be thrown in the motherfucking jail cause that’s what they deserve”
A report from Chief of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine Oleh Ivashchenko. Our military intelligence has established that, according to internal Russian documents, certain categories of exports from the aggressor state have already fallen by 80% this month alone. These are significant losses for Russia’s federal budget, as well as for regional budgets that were already on the verge of bankruptcy as it was. The Russian side acknowledges that the ships of its Black Sea fleet are basically blocked in Novorossiysk as a result of our drone strikes and are unable to operate at sea. The Russian leadership cannot find a way out of this situation.
Since the Russian fleet is unable to convoy commercial vessels and the shadow fleet entering the relevant ports, among the solutions considered are equipping civilian vessels with small arms, electronic warfare systems, and military personnel. We will prepare appropriate response measures to Russia’s militarization of shipping.
Military intelligence confirms the high effectiveness of our deep strikes, particularly against Russian military production facilities and oil industry sites. According to the available data, based on information from the Russian side itself, after a series of our long-range sanctions against the Kamensky Plant in the Rostov region, the Russians lost a significant share of their capacity to produce solid-fuel rocket engines. We will continue this long-range work.
We now also have updated data on Russia’s production of ballistic missiles and its plans to scale up that production. We will counter this, and it is important that there be corresponding sanctions support in the world’s major jurisdictions. All supplies of components, equipment, and machine tools that Russia uses to manufacture missiles must be completely blocked. And this is also the responsibility of our partners – without foreign components, the Russians are unable to implement a single element of their missile program.
The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine also has evidence that operations have stopped at one of Russia’s largest oil refineries in Kstovo, in the Nizhny Novgorod region, which processed 17 million tonnes of oil annually, as well as at other oil refining facilities. I thank our warriors for their accuracy. Glory to Ukraine!
Why this headline is BS:
Ukraine finally started responding to Russia’s non-stop terrorist attacks, but we have never done so symmetrically.
Can Ukraine strike Russian malls in the middle of the day, inflicting hundreds of casualties? Yes, we can. But have we? No. Did Russia? Yes, they did, many times over.
Can Ukraine strike Russian children's cancer hospitals? Yes, we can, but we haven't. Russia has.
Can we strike their maternity hospitals, kindergartens, and schools, just like they strike ours? Yep, we have the capabilities now, but we haven't done it.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 A brief timeline of how Trump stole the 2016 election.
In March 29, 2016 Paul Manafort was brought onto the Trump campaign. after working for Russian oligarch Deripaska
On July 14th Manafort introduced Trump to Mike Pence for the evangelical vote.
On July 16 Trump introduced Pence in a presser and announces his relationship with the evangelicals. Comical because, all New Yorkers knew what a freak he was and about the orgies.
https://t.co/9oIzzcYSr4
July 19, The GOP Convention. Manafort changed ONE thing in the platform having to do with Ukraine.
July 22, Guccifer 2.0 hacks the DNC emails and passes to Wikileaks’ Assange
October 7, 2016 the Access Hollywood Tape are made public.
October 28, 2017 was the first of 6,000 QAnon drops, laying the groundwork to brainwash his followers to stay in power leading up to January 6.
Thank you for supporting my work connecting the dots. Ways to help in my profile.
They took her away in handcuffs. Her two young daughters watched from the window.
August 29, 2019. Occupied Novoazovsk.
russia abducted Svitlana Holovan, leaving her two daughters — just 11 and 5 — without their mother.
Five months alone in a dark, damp cell. Interrogations. Threats of electric shocks. Threats against her children.
She later recalled her torturer breaking her arms and threatening her with sexual violence.
Six years in captivity.
Svitlana was finally released in August 2025.
This is what russian occupation looked like long before February 2022.
It began in 2014.
On behalf of Ukraine, I extend my condolences to the Royal House of Norway and the people of Norway on the passing of His Majesty King Harald V.
His Majesty embodied dignity, wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to his country. Ukraine will always remember his steadfast support and solidarity with the Ukrainian people during the darkest days of Russia’s aggression.
Our thoughts are with the Royal Family and the people of Norway at this time of profound sorrow.
May His Majesty’s memory be eternal.
Another Ukrainian city is being wiped out right now while the world looks away
Here’s what’s happening in Kramatorsk:
• Glide bombs & FPVs pound the city to make them unliveable.
• Civilians evacuated every day but not everyone is leaving.
• I spent the night with power station workers risking their lives to keep the lights on. Every shift is their own ‘fuck you’ to Russia.
• The war started here in 2014 & locals spent a decade fighting for their freedom - they wont give up without a fight.
• This region isn't some industrial backwater, it's a beautiful landscape with a rich, vibrant history.
• And the difficult truth: Russia is still advancing. Slowly, brutally, but advancing.
It’s uncomfortable to say. But it’s true. Pretending otherwise doesn’t help Ukraine.
If the world stops watching because it thinks Russia is losing, Russia gets exactly what it needs: time.
This is what’s happening in Donbas right now.
Watch my full report. 🇺🇦
@The_Real_ITDUDE GTA6 will be amazing, but I’ll take a Ukraine victory and Trump defeat every fucking time.
If it also ends Putin and Netanyahu, I could give up video games for life 🥳
Some clips don’t age. They wait for you.
In 1970, Dolly Parton stood beside Stella and Cassie on The Porter Wagoner Show and sang “Break My Mind.”
Their mama and grandpa are sitting right there in the audience, watching it happen.
No autotune. No overproduction. Just family, music, and a moment that feels almost impossible to recreate today.
Is this the best sibling harmony ever captured on TV or does it only hit this hard now?
Americans, this is your assignment. You vote even if a gun is pointed at your head. You vote like your kids are being kidnapped. You vote like the ICE is knocking on your door. You vote like your grandad going to be kicked out of the nursing home. Please vote to clean this shit.
Trump has literally done nothing this entire second term except rename things for no reason, enrich himself & his Epstein pals, get us into a war he’s too stupid to get out of, and spend our money on shitty renovations nobody asked for. That’s literally it. Pathetic.
Ukraine has lost a pioneer.
Lt. Col. Tetiana Kucheriava, who in 2015 became the first woman in independent Ukraine to serve as a T-64B tank driver-mechanic, has died after nine months battling cancer.
She made history at just 28.
A soldier. A mother. A wife.
Rest in honor, Tetiana.
FROM A NORWEGIAN POINT OF VIEW IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY REPUBLICAN IS A DERANGED FAKE RELIGIOUS LUNATIC WHO IS TRYING TO DEMOLISH EVERYTHING THAT MADE AMERICA GREAT 🤔
My 7-year-old daughter heard me say that Dolly Parton died, and got visibly very sad. I was surprised she even knew that name.
“You know Dolly Parton?”
In the sweetest timid voice, she replied:
“Well, I don’t _know_ know her. But she sent me books.”
🥹😢😭
