Russia is stupidly provoking WWIII by resisting the Great Power of Ukraine. Putin should stop the killing and give up territory for peace. Thanks for tuning in to the latest episode of Realist Geopolitics.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Kharkiv is a city of the wounded: wounded people, buildings, and souls.

If all these broken buildings could speak, they would probably tell us how hurt and tired they are, just like we, citizens, are. They would tell us how they fear loud noises, and how they still hope for better times someday. How they mourn the people they could not shield, and how, against all odds, they refuse to fall, just like everything else here.

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.

Bought a $1,742.80 camera online from BestBuy.

The FedEx delivery driver stole it. FedEx admitted it.

But BestBuy won’t give a refund. They said we need to “work with local law enforcement.”

Thought everyone should know if you buy from @BestBuy and a @FedEx driver steals what you paid for, your money is gone. Neither company will make it right.

I’ve spent over $30K at BestBuy and will never spend another penny there.

No good news for the Russians.

By refusing President Zelenskyy’s offer for direct peace talks, Putin lost his chance to get out of his failed war.

Things will only get worse for Russia. Battlefield losses will continue to grow. Failures will get more humiliating.

The economy will plunge deeper into recession. More jobs will be lost, taxes will be growing, and inflation will hit those most vulnerable.

There are already no safe places in Russia that can be exempt from Ukraine’s long-range sanctions. But their intensity will continue to grow.

The international pressure will not ease. It will only get stronger. Including the use of frozen assets, travel bans, and inevitable accountability for crimes.

All of this because the fanatic in the Kremlin wants to keep in power at any cost and is ready to sacrifice his country’s future and kill millions of people for his insane delusions.

All of this because he doesn’t want to admit a simple truth: he will never achieve his goals on the battlefield and he better abandon his delusional hopes of Ukraine collapsing soon, support from its partners waning, or pressure on Russia easing.

Russia will still have to accept a diplomatic solution but the terms will be far worse.

Putin’s refusal of peace should lead to a significant increase in international pressure on Russia and support for Ukraine.

Since the start of the invasion, Russian forces have gang raped, tortured and executed families, bodies thrown in heaps on top of one another, all documented.

Do not forget who did this.

On June 6, 2023, Russia destroyed the Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant dam. The area was under Russian control. They were prepared, releasing statements within minutes blaming Ukraine.

One of the biggest failures I witnessed in journalism and politics that day was how many American media outlets repeated Russian claims without proper scrutiny, context, or disclaimers. Meanwhile, Ukraine was rescuing people and trying to determine exactly what had happened before issuing an official statement.

Working on Capitol Hill that day, I remember only a handful of lawmakers saying Russia should be held accountable. Others, including then-Congressman and current UN Ambassador Mike Waltz (@michaelgwaltz ), argued that Russia had no reason to blow up the dam (video attached).

Today, I want to remind everyone: Russia started this war, and Russia bears responsibility for every single act of devastation and every atrocity that has followed.

Incredible that the rule of law in the US is so weak that we need Albanians to provide support for anti-corruption activities in the US!
The US is unable to even check the corruption of the Trump family.
Pathetic!
The US can no longer lecture anybody about anything!

Everywhere they go, Russian forces rape, and murder civilians. Russian forces turned farms into rape centres in Central African Republic.

🚨 “BACK UP!” 🚨

Before police moved in tonight, Delaney Hall staff emerged and began yelling at protesters.

One appeared to carry a metal baseball bat. Another appeared to flash what looked like pepper spray toward the crowd.

Day 16 of the hunger and labor strike.

Pay attention to who is willing to break the law for Trump as we head into the midterms—because his end goal is to create a system where others will break the law for him. It's about building a custom where it's normal to break the law for a person. The big case is the military

@AnnaOdesitka I don't know if these chat rooms help or not, and if they are free outside of USA.
I googled "panic attack chat room" and got a list of them.

@AnnaOdesitka @WarriorAntFella I don't have panic attacks but when I'm anxious or tired and can't concentrate , I play simple computer games.
They calm me down and allow me to go sleep, or get some work done.

[Dr Anna Odesitka @AnnaOdesitka]

Anyone else suffer from panic attacks? I never had them before 2022 for obvious reasons. Medication help very much. But now they change. Since this last winter Kholodomor, they come in clusters and more often. One ends, another starts right after. It lasts hours this way. We just adjust medication. It comes usually early morning now like alarm setting. Starts around 1 and go on for few hours, sometime until sunrise.

Truly they scare me more than air raids and explosions. Those are external. These attacks are inside me. I can’t hide from them.

I have read all medical literature on the matter. I fully understand PTSD and trauma. But understanding does not alter experience. I know what is happening physiologically and psychologically. That knowledge provides nothing. I await for medication adjustments to finally start reducing severity and frequency. This take time I know.

I tell you not just as human being but as physician, there is nothing worse to fear than you being your own enemy. 🤷‍♀️

3 years ago today, Russia blew up the Khakovka dam in Kherson. A massive flood wave swept across the area, devastating consequences for people and animals. The number of people who died, particularly in the occupied territories, remains unknown to this day. #russiaisaterrorist
