In Russia, people are discussing how Azerbaijan's President is openly laughing at and mocking Russia. For any empire, fear and respect are essential to maintaining its image. When Ilham Aliyev publicly ridicules Russia, it turns the country into an object of ridicule—and for an empire, that can be dangerously damaging.
Aliyev's other statements have also drawn attention in Russia.
> "Russia will not defeat Ukraine because Ukrainians are fighters who have always sought freedom," President Ilham Aliyev said. He also urged Ukraine never to compromise over the occupation of its territories or accept the loss of any of its land.
Well, what can I say? He's right.
„Auferstanden aus Ruinen“ singen Chrupalla & Siegmund.
Die AfD will eine DDR2.0 etablieren, und das ist der Beweis!
Mauermörder & Spitzel-Staat - DASS ist die AfD.
🚨 A white police officer was caught on video beating a young Black child who was already on the ground.
The officer is seen kneeling over the kid and repeatedly punching him while the child begs “Stop, bro.” The boy is clearly not fighting back, yet this piece of shit keeps hitting him like he’s enjoying every second of it.
This is what happens when racist cops are allowed to treat Black children like animals and get away with it. Disgusting.

🚨 JUST IN: Video shows the bulk carrier Luni literally splitting in two and sinking in the Strait of Hormuz today after a hull fracture near Bandar Abbas.
Meanwhile, Trump’s out here crowning himself “Guardian of the Strait of Hormuz” and demanding a 20% toll on everyone’s cargo like some wannabe pirate king.
How’s that “guardian” thing working out, Donnie? Another total disaster.

Back to the USSR. 🇷🇺🛠️
Putin is reportedly planning to revive Joseph Stalin’s infamous 1935 travel ban, introducing Soviet-style "exit visas" for Russian citizens.
Under the proposed law:
No more buying a ticket and flying out freely.
Traveling to "unfriendly" Western countries will only be allowed in pre-approved tour groups of at least 10 people.
Nothing says "confident, thriving superpower" quite like forcing your own citizens to travel like middle-schoolers on a supervised field trip just to make sure they don’t defect. 🚌🕵️♂️ #Russia #Putin #SovietUnion #TravelBan
The Russian Orc Army as it is.
Russian orc punishing his subordinates because they complained about fuel shortage.
"You are telling me you don't have enough fuel, faggots? Then you will buy fuel yourself," he says.
Wishing victory to all infighting orcs. They are not humans.
Another knife in Putin’s back? Vučić has arrived in Kyiv!
On Ukraine’s Statehood Day, the Serbian president will join European leaders to discuss how to produce more weapons for Ukraine — and faster.
They will also discuss Ukraine’s path toward EU membership.
🇷🇺 Finally! 🔽
“I believe the president should resign.”
Russian journalist Dmitry Borisenko is calling for Putin and the State Duma to resign, saying that, in his view, it is the only way to prevent civil war and the collapse of Russia.
We’re sanctioning Russia at speed and scale.
Today’s measures, together with the upcoming 21st sanctions package, will add 250 individuals and entities to the Russia sanctions regime.
This is our biggest round of individual designations since Moscow’s 2022 full-scale invasion, and includes also the EU’s largest-ever cyber sanctions package.
The financial backbone of Russia’s war machine is the main target. Every measure weakens Moscow’s ability to wage war.
My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓
🤡 Russia accused Germany of taking part in "terrorist attacks" on Russian territory and summoned its ambassador after the German Embassy published a video mocking the Kremlin over the fuel crisis
In the video, the embassy said Moscow was discussing fuel imports, rationing, and stronger air defenses, while there was a much simpler solution: end the war against Ukraine.
After the clip went viral, Russia's Foreign Ministry summoned German Ambassador Alexander Lambsdorff, accused Berlin of involvement in Ukrainian strikes, and claimed the embassy's messaging resembled "the worst practices of Nazi propaganda."
The Russian Foreign Ministry also noted that the ambassador would return to his home country by car, claiming this disproved the embassy's statements about fuel shortages in Moscow.
The German Embassy said it would continue speaking out against Russia's war of aggression and highlighting its consequences.
I’m in Paris for my final meeting of the Coalition of the Willing.
I’m proud to have worked with @EmmanuelMacron to bring 25 nations together, united in support of Ukraine and European security.
Today, we stand stronger than ever.
Our message remains clear: Ukraine's security is our security.
🇪🇺 🇬🇧 Signed!
The agreement that paves the way for the UK to join our €90 billion Ukraine Support Loan.
This will give Ukraine access to a wider range of defence suppliers.
So they can get what they need on the battlefield.
Together, we are supporting Ukraine's brave resistance.

- Mark Rutte - NATO Secretary General:
"Lavrov is the foreign minister of Russia, I think, since the birth of Jesus Christ.
And since then, nothing, anything useful came out of his mouth.
So let's not pay too much attention to Mr. Lavrov."
Lavrov on the tankers in the Sea of Azov: “This is not piracy. Pirates take things for themselves. Here, they simply destroy tankers. This is terrorism.”
Interesting.
So what does he call Russia wiping entire Ukrainian cities off the map?
