And a piece of advice to those who listen to politicians — don't listen to what they say, look at what their actions lead to. This is the ONLY way to judge them.
I am worrying about my country, but I also know that we will prevail.

The scariest part is how they just make things up.
$350B in free aid to Ukraine. Ukraine depleted US Tomahawks stocks. Ukraine killed a million russian children. Russia wants peace. And so on.
And millions of Americans believe this.
The next step for Ukraine and the European Union should be to begin consultations on gradually, but relatively quickly, replacing Starlink across military, law enforcement, intelligence, and government institutions with European alternatives, even if that means subsidizing.
❗️Last night, the operation of Starlink terminals in Ukraine was restricted.
Connectivity began to drop when moving at speeds exceeding 160 km/h. As a result, a number of critical missions were disrupted.
SpaceX likely took these measures at the request of the Trump administration. Also last night, when Kyiv was attacked by ballistic missiles, Ukraine did not receive intelligence regarding their launch— a failure that could have led to higher casualties.
Ukraine did not attack Russian oil refineries, yet Trump has already begun imposing sanctions on my country. Meanwhile, sanctions against Russia have been eased.
If this means more Ukrainians will die isn't of a big concern for him.
And the tale that Ukraine somehow affected the US diesel market, oh its quite the opposite, just look at the graph when Ukraine started it's campaign - the price went down (as it should)
I remember being asked in 2024 by my acquaintances from the US whether Trump will be good for Ukraine. And I clearly remember telling them he will stop all the aid and basically do nothing.
Now, it seems he has already cashed out on Putin and will do everything help his buddy
BREAKING: Russia has launched 6 ballistic missiles into Kyiv with no air alert and no reported air defence activity, with Ukrainian sources saying the US has now cut intelligence sharing that gives early warning of Russian ballistic launches, per initial reports.
As a result, multiple ballistic missiles impacted the city minutes ago.
The US threatened 3 days ago to cut off all intelligence sharing with Ukraine unless Kyiv halted its strikes on Russian refineries. US detection provides the 3 to 5 minute civilian warning for a ballistic launch from western Russia, and without it that window drops to half or to nothing on many trajectories.

@P_Kallioniemi Most likely botfarms were using some yandex-based services. So the traffic cannot be a sole indicator. We need to factor bot activity, traffic to the centers and back etc
But it is obvious that one can breathe easier on Twitter rn
It's all been bullshit. All of it. Diesel, energy deals, peace negotiations, everything between Trump Co. and Putin's mafia is a charade. All they're doing is laundering money and trying to lift sanctions. It's all they care about and all they know how to do.
@RihardsKols Most likely ru won't deliver and the balme will be shifted to Ukraine. This is the most feasible outcome from ru point of view.
If other countries join the US in this literal feast during the plague, then the situation will deteriorate quickly
So this deal is largely Potemkin, but the damage is obvious: the US will give something for nothing to get realignment with Russia and of course — in the long run — to line the pockets of Trump’s friends and family. Let’s assume, based on initial reporting, that Ukraine continues deep strikes with European assistance and even escalates now. Russian refineries burn. Moscow says they can’t satisfy the demands of the deal (which they couldn’t do anyway) because of those deep strikes. Whom do you think Trump will blame when his Potemkin bargain is shown to be just that? The hucksters in Moscow and Miami who sold it to him, or the country he’s sold out? Even in the deal’s inevitable implosion, Russia snags a big strategic victory. I’m guessing they factored that into their design.
