The most catastrophic error the Kremlin made was escalating its aggression into a genocidal war, a move that is both a moral abomination and a fatal strategic mistake.

This choice stripped Ukrainians of any alternative but total, unyielding resistance, ensuring that Russia is now trapped in a war it cannot win.

For Russia, this campaign is a war of choice, but for Ukraine, it is an inescapable reality. The genocidal rhetoric and behavior combined with the sheer violence unleashed against civilians eliminated any possibility of a negotiated ”compromise.”

People will occasionally capitulate to a standard political occupation, but no one willingly submits to their own destruction. The Kremlin's cruelty completely backfired by cementing a permanent, deep-seated hatred toward the occupiers.

This pathetic behavior also completely destroyed Moscow's diplomatic standing. The pretense of defending against Western encirclement was revealed as a transparent lie, completely alienating anyone on the global stage with a basic sense of morality or a brain.

By forcing an entire nation into a corner, Russia guaranteed its own long-term failure. The resulting defeat is not just inevitable, but a fully deserved consequence of their own actions.

Russia needs to be and will be defeated

A few years ago, nobody would have believed it. But this is Moscow today.

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

This is what yesterday’s G7 meeting looked like: Ukraine has taken the place of Putin’s Russia within the Group of Seven.

This is arguably a fitting and logical outcome of Putin’s 26-year rule. He took over a Russia that held the status of a leading world power, yet he will leave behind a pariah state relegated to the world’s backyard.

Abdulille ja Haseebullahille 2 vuoden ja 10 kuukauden vankeus, jota kohtuullistettiin kuudella kuukaudella. Naurettava rangaistus. Tämä on taas näitä uutisia, joka saa tuntemaan, että jotkin asiat Suomessa ovat ihan pielessä.

When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.

Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.

A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.

Vietnamilaisperheen 16 v poika muuttaa isänsä perässä suomeen pari vuotta sitten ja nousee Suomi-pingiksen kärkeen. Ja kas, puhuu jo sujuvaa suomea.
Siinä on Munan perheellä ihmettelemistä.

President Zelensky said it plainly: Ukraine did not have cards, it had people. Smart, brave people. That is the truth Europe must never forget. Putin counts weapons, Trump talks deals; Ukrainians are defending a nation, a democracy and the security of our continent. Their drones, resilience and courage are not bargaining chips. They are Europe’s front line. As European Democrats, we stand with Ukraine: peace requires strength, freedom requires solidarity.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

O'BRIEN: Trump believed Ukraine had no cards, that he could bully Ukrainians into giving Putin very good deal.

He didn't understand that Ukraine was developing their own capabilities and their willingness to fight.

So, Trump failed for two reasons. First, Ukrainians adapted, and that wasn't expected by him.

You can see there have been some changes in his rhetoric lately, where he has to grudgingly admit that Ukraine has actually done better.

The United States completely underestimated Ukrainian resilience.

Secondly, Trump thought Europeans would bully Ukraine along with him because they would be afraid of United States leaving NATO.

He thought he could use NATO to push Europeans to force Ukraine to take a bad deal. Europeans eventually helped Ukraine more than he thought.

They seem to understand that it's actually better for them to have Ukraine fight the war the way Ukraine wants.

Trump didn't understand what Ukraine was capable of and he misjudged what Europeans would do.

@PekkaPuska1 @perttikorhonen Älä viitsi Pekka höpistä; lue tilastoja. Nokka kohti Eurooppalaisia käytäntöjä; kieltolait ei toimi. Viinit ja viinat ruokakauppoihin.😊🍻🍾

@PekkaPuska1 Olen pahoillani, että sinulle on kehittynyt näin ongelmallinen suhde alkoholiin.
Vastuulliselle aikuiselle alkoholi ei ole ongelma.
Voisiko tämä mitenkään johtua alkoholin stigmatisoinnista?
Kielletyn hedelmän houkutus.😉
Homouttakin vastustavat kaikkein eniten kaappihomot. 😄

[Julian Simonen 🇫🇮🇪🇺🇺🇦🇹🇼🇮🇷 @JulianSimonen]

@PekkaPuska1 Kaikki viimeaikaiset muutokset alkoholiin liittyviin lakeihin on johtanut siihen, että alkoholin kulutus on vähentynyt.
Silti puritanistit edelleen vastustavat kaikkia muutoksia, jotka veisivät kohti vapaampia eurooppalaisia käytäntöjä.

[Jussi Tuulensuu @tuulensuu]

Lehtitietojen mukaan Sofia Virta on Erikoisjoukot-tv-sarjan kuvauksissa ja oli siksi poissa alkoholilakiäänestyksestä.

Minulla ei ole poissaolosta mielipidettä, mutta se tuli mieleen, että jos Krista Kiuru menisi Erikoisjoukkoihin, ensimmäisenä kisasta putoaisivat kouluttajat.

Ilmeisesti umpiköyhille poimijoille ei voinut maksaa edes kartellissa sovittua minikorvausta, kun itselläkin oli niin tiukkaa:

VON DER LEYEN: We propose, for the first time, to ban from entry into the European Union anyone who has served in Russian armed forces since the beginning of the war.

Europe stays off-limits for anyone who has participated in the invasion of Ukraine. As simple as that.

Une grande victoire pour les Albanais !

Le gouvernement albanais annonce l'arrêt des travaux du projet de Kushner et Ivanka et la suspension du projet.

Les foules refusent de rentrer chez elles tant que le projet n'est pas annulé intégralement.

@pbyrokraatti Saksan suurin virhe on ollut päin helvettiä tehty Energiwende. Suomessa saadaan fiksun energiapolitiikan ansiosta nauttia Euroopan halvimman sähkön tuomasta kilpailuedusta.

It is Albanians, not Americans, who are protesting against American corruption.
The US appears to have accepted the corruption of the Trump family, so we Americans have to rely upon the sound anti-corruption sentiments of others.
Truly embarrassing, but thank you, Albania!

Moment When Radoslaw Sikorski reminded America, UK, France and Russia that they guaranteed Ukrainian security and borders in 1994!

- Sikorski:
“As you know, Russia, the USA, and Great Britain guaranteed the security of Ukraine and its borders.
In exchange for Ukraine giving up what was then the third largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in the world. In 1994.
So you have an obligation to Ukraine to help them defend their freedom.”
