Many have asked why I have been so silent these past weeks. I'm heartbroken to say my beautiful, darling wife passed away on Thursday. She had held my heart in her hand from the first moment I saw her and we shared 36 wonderful years together. She had bravely battled cancer with courage and fortitude for many years yet still never lost the ability to light up a room with her beautiful smile, her wonderful sense of humour and her laughter. Not once did she give up the hope for life. I truely believe there is more to this existence than we know and that one day we shall be reunited by our love for each other, a love that was so honest and so real and so true. Until then I shall hold her tightly in my heart. When my daughter and I returned home from the hospital a red rose had appeared in our garden. It was right outside our door and had appeared from nowhere in a clump of dry weeds. Red roses were my wife’s favorite flower. She wore 3 in her hair at our wedding and carried a bouquet of red roses. I had asked her to send me a sign before she passed to say she was ok. It must have been sent by her.

You will stay forever in my heart until we are together again my darling ❤️

He survived the battle for Mariupol.

He did not survive russian captivity.

Bohdan Usenko was captured on April 12, 2022, during the breakout from the Ilyich Steel Plant.

His wife spent years searching for answers. She recognized him in a russian propaganda video. Freed POWs later told her what had happened behind bars: torture, broken ribs, relentless pain.

Then came the message no family should ever receive.

“This is not just grief. It’s the silence after the explosion. It’s a life that will never be the same again.”

Bohdan Usenko was murdered in russian captivity.

Every murdered POW is another russian war crime.

Don't let them die twice in silence.

This is the result of many bad legacy decisions taken by UKRI hastily and without proper consultation, overseen by a government department that no longer exists. Surely the new @andyburnham government will want to take time to review this.

Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah in a recent interview about the 2026 World Cup match against Lionel Messi.

“Messi is my idol,” Salah began, his voice steady but laced with disappointment.

“But I saw how we, the Egypt team, were cheated in that match. It was so unfair. They fouled me — that could have been a penalty, but the referee and VAR didn’t award it. The match was frustrating. Seeing a legend like Messi cheat to win matches is heartbreaking.”

“I’ve looked up to him my whole life. But football should be fair. That day… it wasn’t.”

Former Spain and Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos in a recent interview about the 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.

“I love Messi, yes he’s a genius,” Ramos said. “But him and the Argentine squad were really playing dirty in the final. The game and the officials were clearly supporting Argentina. They tried as much as they could to rig it, just like they did in the 2022 final. Thank God the Spanish team is different we rose above it and deserved the win.”

When pressed about Argentina’s controversial match against England earlier in the tournament, Ramos doubled down:

“The Argentine squad should have been suspended and stripped of their world titles after raising that flag and Enzo’s celebration. FIFA overlooked everything. There were so many calls that were not credited. It’s unfair. But I'm glad they lost".

The situation on the front, together with our long-range sanctions and mid-range strikes, is creating a new atmosphere around Putin. A very toxic atmosphere. He alone is the reason this war began and hasn't ended. Putin alone is responsible for the losses Russians continue to suffer. His retinue understands this – they are signaling it to us and to our partners. Russian society is beginning to feel it more and more as well. We need decisions to bring about peace.

Eby: "I feel sorry for Americans. If you can't be friends with Canada, then you almost certainly do not have a friend anywhere in the world. And that is a very lonely place to be."

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

A Russian woman summed up the interim results of Putin's "special military operation":

"There's no internet, no gasoline, no foreign brands, no foreign investment, no independent media. Our foreign currency reserves are gone, the stock market has crashed, small businesses are shutting down, large businesses are suffering losses, visas are hard to get, and getting a passport is becoming increasingly difficult.

But we do have harsh censorship, political prisoners, daily strikes on Russian territory, fear for the present, fear for the future...

And, of course, greatness."

Este es, quizás, el vídeo más descarado de la Final de la Copa del Mundo. Todos vimos cómo Enzo Fernández casi mata a Pau Cubarsí, pero si te fijas, más abajo, un jugador de Argentina, Nicolás Tagliafico, ve la tremenda patada de su compañero y, sabiendo que la ha cagado, se le ocurre tirarse al suelo y fingir una lesión. Enzo recibe la tarjeta roja, pero Messi se acerca al árbitro señalando a su compañero argentino caído (a Tagliafico) diciendo que está lesionado. Afortunadamente no coló. Son delincuentes, no jugadores de fútbol.

BROWDER: I can imagine that in 20 years, Ukraine will be like South Korea: booming, democratic country with vibrant economy. And Russia will be like North Korea: isolated from everybody, where you can barely see the lights from satellites, and it’s in much, much worse situation.

🗣️ Marc Cucurella: The World Cup final completely changed my opinion of Leo Messi.

From my perspective, he looked frustrated and desperate to win. After I simply asked him, as captain, to calm his teammates because I felt they were becoming too aggressive, I believe he portrayed our exchange to the referee as something it wasn’t. I never made any racist remark, and the whole incident left me deeply disappointed.

That moment made me question the fairness of what happened. To me, honesty and integrity matter just as much as winning. If I feel someone has misrepresented my words, it’s difficult for me to trust or respect them in the same way again.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been my idol since childhood, and my respect for him has never changed. I admire his dedication, discipline, and mentality. In my opinion, he has built his legacy through hard work, perseverance, and merit. That’s why he will always be my greatest football inspiration.

Él no llora por perder la final.

Él llora porque sabe que el mundo le perdió el respeto ✊; lo consideran un consentido, una princesa de la FIFA, un tramposo y corrupto.

This was Anzhelika Pereverzeva.

Today, russia killed her.

In just eight days, she would have turned 46.

She could have left Kherson. She chose to stay and keep serving her community.

Today, a russian drone hunted her car.

Every single day, russians turn Kherson into a human safari. Every single day, innocent people are hunted and killed. And the damn world pretends it doesn't see it.
