Colombian President Gustavo Petro replied “Heil Hitler” to an El Espectador column (co-written with Gemini AI) promoting conservative candidate Abelardo de la Espriella.

The piece argues Colombia needs less rhetoric and more “order, authority, and economic freedom” to fix insecurity, crime, and a bloated state—positioning de la Espriella as the “surgeon” for the job.

Petro is invoking a Nazi comparison to dismiss the emphasis on authority.

If Satan has a residence on Earth, it is in Russia: the story of former Kherson mayor Volodymyr Mykolayenko, who survived Russian captivity.

After seeing Russia from the inside, he described it as a moral void, completely incompatible with Ukraine.

In captivity, he survived purely through willpower—holding on by sheer determination. When he finally returned home on August 24, 2025, it felt as though he had grown wings.

What struck him most was the way Ukrainians welcomed the released prisoners. From the Belarusian border all the way to Chernihiv, crowds stood along the roads waving Ukrainian flags. For the first time in a long while, he felt genuine respect and love.

Mykolayenko neither hid nor fled, even though he had the opportunity. He joined the Territorial Defense Forces because he asked himself a simple question: who else would protect his family?

He was given an assault rifle, but quickly realized that rifles alone cannot stop tanks.

The Russians lured him to a meeting under false pretenses, threw him into a car trunk, and took him away.

In captivity, he was beaten almost daily and suffered a broken rib. The occupiers offered him the position of head of the occupation administration, but he refused.

They demanded that he publicly condemn Roman Shukhevych, yet Mykolayenko instead called him a Hero of Ukraine.

Later, he was transferred between detention facilities—first to occupied Crimea, then to Russia’s Voronezh region, where the beatings became even more severe.

He never received a single letter from his family. He even refused prisoner exchanges, insisting that wounded young soldiers should be released in his place.

In his view, this war did not happen because of abstract mistakes. It happened because of geography and irresponsibility.

Russians chose Putin twenty-five years ago, and many continue to support him today. At the same time, too many members of Ukraine’s elite behave as if they have a “backup country”—Paris, Prague, New York—places they can escape to while blaming the people who were left behind.

But most Ukrainians have no alternative. There is no second homeland. There is only Ukraine.

According to Mykolayenko, the true strength of the country lies in its people—those who have survived occupation, torture, and loss, yet continue to fight.

Victory rests on two pillars: the soldiers who destroy the occupiers every day, and the civilians who do everything they can each day to ensure that the army can keep fighting.

He himself endured for the sake of his family and his faith in victory. He is proud of his daughter, who has been fighting since the first day of the war, and hopes that his grandchildren will one day be proud of both him and their country.

Russians say its now absolute carnage for them at the front, with so many Russian corpses that grown men cry at the sight, with more Ukrainian drones every day and inability for any vehicle to be used and no means to remove any of the dead.

Heiraten in der Ukraine – unter russischen Terrordrohnen.

Also kommt mir nicht mit gestörter Mittagsruhe in Sankt Petersburg.

Jeder Russe sollte dieses Gefühl kennen lernen, damit er versteht, was sein Land der Ukraine seit fünf Jahren antut.

Three years ago today, Russia destroyed the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant and dam, creating one of the world's greatest environmental catastrophes.

The resulting flood swept through communities across southern Ukraine, forcing thousands from their homes, contaminating water supplies, destroying farmland, and leaving deep environmental scars that will endure for generations. Nearly 100,000 people were directly affected, while the consequences extended far beyond the immediate flood zone.

The destruction of the Kakhovka dam was a deliberate attack on critical civilian infrastructure and one of the largest acts of environmental destruction in Europe in recent history.

Rescue workers, volunteers, local authorities, and ordinary citizens worked tirelessly to save lives, assist families, and rebuild what Russia sought to destroy.

Today, we remember those who suffered and honor the heroes who responded. Russia will be held accountable for every crime committed against Ukraine and our people.

Tania Abbasi, a 21 years old accounting student in Karaj and a volleyball player.

The Islamic regime thugs shot her at close range in the back of the head on January 8 in Tehran.

Hospitals refused to admit her while she was fatally wounded.
She died in her mother’s arms.

Lest we forget.

This is a true hero.

Staff Sergeant Yarin Peled, medic.

Just 20 years old

She was killed in the massacre perpetrated by Palestinians on October 7th.

Defending her land by trying to save as many Israelis as possible.

We take for granted the true heroism of Israelis. Many youngsters in the West don’t know what it’s like to defend their country.

May her memory be a blessing.

The entire direction of the post-Cold War world is being decided in Ukraine. Either the free world shows it can defend itself from hostile dictatorships, allowing democracy and rights to flourish, or a descent into corruption, might makes right, and volatile spheres of power.

💯 agree 👍💯

[Korina Graf @GrafKorina]

Allein die Formulierung, die Ukraine komme “wenigstens nicht ungeschoren davon”, hat mich fassungslos gemacht.

Als wäre nicht Russland der Aggressor, sondern die Ukraine diejenige, die für etwas bestraft werden müsse.

Ein Land wird überfallen, besetzt, bombardiert – und trotzdem spricht man über die Ukraine, als hätte sie sich etwas zuschulden kommen lassen. Das ist eine Form der Täter-Opfer-Umkehr, die ich nur noch erschreckend finde von

This is not World War II footage.

This is Toretsk, Ukraine — and it’s not as far away as you think.

A city that once had over 30,000 residents. Now almost completely erased.

There is no excuse for this. None.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Lots of pro russian Irish people telling me to ‘go to the front lines & leave Ireland’

I’ve just come here from Nikopol. The press armour is still in my bag. I watched Russian drones hunt civilians with my own eyes. That’s why the indifference here is so despicable, especially while Ireland still supplies alumina to Russias war machine.

I’m not going anywhere. This investigation continues

Irish politicians are avoiding questions about Aughinish. Patrick O’Donovan refuses to answer my calls. The refinery is in his constituency

He says the Russian owned plant is not connected to Russia’s war machine, without showing evidence. They want this to blow over. It won’t

A reminder, all the big American influencers will be in Russia this week.

They say they're going to see the "beautiful churches". Nothing to do with the massive crypto payments they will recieve for promoting Putin's nonsense.

Now the world is seeing what the regime tried to hide. Many of these protesters never came home.

Most people completely underestimate the insane, inhumane scale of the war in Ukraine.

According to the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, the siege of Mariupol alone saw between 27,000 and 88,000 deaths in only three (3!) months.

Read that again and let it sink in
