So Putin responds to Ukraine’s successful attacks on Russian oil depots - by targeting innocent civilians in Kyiv and murdering women and children. The Russian President is going to lose his revolting war, which he never should have started. But the truth is that Western governments are doing nothing like enough to bring him to the negotiating table. Why won’t we systematically take out the shadow fleet? Why won’t we give the Ukrainians the hundreds of billions of frozen assets? And why the hell is the UK - of all countries - now buying Russian aviation fuel, even if it has been refined in third countries, under a loophole recently opened by Keir Starmer? This means British cash is helping to fund Putin’s war machine. It’s a total disgrace and if Starmer wants a legacy he should end the practice now.
⚡️ @Netflix has acquired rights to the Russian series Masha and the Bear, which incorporates pro-Kremlin, militaristic propaganda aimed at children.

Talks with Russia at this point are a waste of time. Europe should instead arm Ukraine to the teeth and make sure Russia has no choice but to accept a just peace.
"I have accepted Keir Starmer's resignation as my chief servant and have invited Andy Burnham to lay out details for how many meals a day he'll give me"
The only acceptable end to this war is Russia's defeat. It's in our deep strategic interest to give Ukraine the support they need to win this war.

@ChandraXray data shows that this galaxy, Messier 83, is unusual. Over 20 of its supernova remnants – remains from star explosions – vary drastically in X-ray brightness. Typically, the remnants' brightness would fade slowly over time.
Ukraine doesn’t have elections because it is being invaded by Russia, which is the country Glenn and Iuliia work for, and whose leader, Putin, took power eight (soon to be nine) British PMs ago. These people feel no shame. As dishonest as it gets
Polityka zagraniczna Karola Nawrockiego, czyli mnóstwo jazgotu, prężenia muskułów, przekonania o moralnej wyższości, a zarazem kompletna bezradność i niezdolność do realizacji jakiegokolwiek celu ważnego dla kraju.
Гитлер не мог победить Великобританию, поэтому бомбил жилые кварталы её городов.
Сталин не мог победить Финляндию, поэтому бомбил жилые кварталы её городов.
Путин не может победить Украину, поэтому бомбит жилые кварталы её городов.
Все фашисты похожи друг на друга — когда нет сил победить в войне, они убивают мирных людей.
Prime Minister Meloni fires back at Trump:
“President Trump, these constant, unprovoked attacks are senseless.
As for my popularity, being your friend certainly has not helped it, nor does it depend on my relationship with you. My popularity depends on my ability to defend Italy’s national interest, and that is exactly what I have always done.
That is also what I did regarding the American military bases in Italy. Their use is governed by agreements that we have always respected, and that cannot be violated as long as I am Prime Minister. Italy remains a sovereign nation.
In any case, my popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.”
