Everyone is discussing who is behind - and what lies behind - Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev’s message to Putin that the war in Ukraine must end. These words were repeated three times. Pay attention to Putin's body language: he looked shocked, angry, and displeased.

Some experts believe Tokayev was delivering a message to the Kremlin from Chinese leader Xi Jinping and that it had been coordinated.

I agree that it was a message intended for Putin. Tokayev is a very experienced politician, and it's obvious he would not have made such statements on his own.

But I have a different explanation for this statement. It lies in Kazakhstan's interests in Novorossiysk: Kazakhstan has temporarily suspended oil exports through the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) marine terminal near Novorossiysk because of drone attacks on tankers in the Black Sea. This route accounts for about 80% of the country's oil exports, forcing Kazakhstan to reduce production as well. Since Kazakhstan has no direct access to the sea, it cannot quickly reroute all of its exports through other routes.

The war unleashed by Putin is becoming a serious obstacle and a threat to the entire world, affecting many interests. It is no longer just a local conflict but a war with global consequences.

How did Putin react to Tokayev's words? I am certain that they triggered yet another flare-up of Putin’s paranoia: he will look for an "internal trace" and launch another round of repression against the Russian "elites," since he perceived everything as a personal internal threat.

Putin has completely lost touch with reality and has become a problem for everyone: inside Russia, for its "allies," and for the West.

The madman is interested in only one thing - an endless war. He has completely lost his grip on reality. As Boris Nemtsov once said: "He's f*cking insane - Vladimir Putin." Now that is obvious to everyone.

The only question is how - and how soon - this will end.

A 67-year-old man was killed in a Russian glide bomb strike on Zaporizhzhia‼️

Rescuers pulled a 22-year-old man from the rubble, his life is not in danger, local authorities reported.

Hard to believe this was a home just a few hours ago. It's beyond comprehension that Ukrainians have had to live and die like this for years.

Recently, Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliev used the language of decolonization, describing Azerbaijan as colonized by Russia in the 19th and the 20th century.

"We were colonized in the 19th century and lived as a colony. Then, when the Soviet Union was established, we were not independent. We were part of the Soviet Union. A republic? Yes, but without any rights."

I suppose each of the "republics" of the Soviet Union can say the same about themselves. The Soviet Union was a colonial Russian project, a reconstruction of the Russian Empire that declared the break from the Empire ideologically but used the imperial and colonial strategies and tactics to piece the state together.

SKY NEWS: Are you worried about Iran potentially attacking Ukraine? They've threatened because of what happened with their vessel. Or is that not a concern?

ZELENSKYY: What do you think if Iran, from the first year of the war, gave new technology to Russia? It was Shahed drones.

They gave thousands of these drones in the first year of the war, and then they gave licenses.

What did they do? Did they attack us? I think yeah. So, they already did it.

We have to be cautious. We have to do everything not to open a new front in any way, but we have to be honest.

Iranians and North Korea have already attacked us. I hope they will not increase these attacks.

But we have to be ready for everything. Just to be ready, and to know that we can't trust these people.

Because at the very beginning, without any messages or any kind of escalation from our side, Iranians gave weapons to Russia.

North Koreans also gave Russia weapons, drones, missiles, 155-caliber artillery rounds, and 10,000 North Koreans.

Tucker Carlson is one of the reasons I have lost so much respect for a large part of the American public. Not simply because he exists, but because millions of people willingly treat this grotesque propagandist as some kind of fearless truth-teller.

On Ukraine, he has spent years doing the Kremlin’s work for free, or at least pretending it is free. He downplays Russian aggression, strips Ukraine of any agency, blames NATO and Washington for a war Putin chose to launch, and presents every Ukrainian flaw as proof that the country deserves to be abandoned.

Then he went to Moscow, sat in front of Putin like an awestruck intern, and gave him hours to vomit historical revisionism and imperial propaganda with barely any serious challenge. Afterwards he wandered around Russian supermarkets and metro stations acting as if clean floors and cheap bread had disproved dictatorship, repression and war crimes.

The entire act is a grift built on cynicism. He tells gullible Americans that everyone is lying except him, that the aggressor is the victim, and that treachery is courage as long as it is packaged as anti-establishment rebellion.

He is not a brave dissident. He is a smug, dishonest salesman who discovered that laundering Kremlin propaganda is extremely profitable when your audience is desperate to feel smarter than everyone else.

Demographic destruction is one of the quietest yet most brutal forms of genocide, and Russia is actively executing it across Ukraine.

When analysts debate Russian genocide, they often focus on child abductions, re-education camps, and mass graves, but the demographic statistics reveal an equally dark reality.

Under the UN Genocide Convention, genocide is defined not just as mass slaughter, but as deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to bring about a group's physical destruction and prevent births within the group.

Moscow justifies its illegal and unprovoked invasion by claiming Ukrainian statehood, history, and culture do not exist, acting on this ideology through forced Russification, family separations, and relentless terror designed to make normal life impossible.

Years of missile strikes, night alerts, mass displacement, and war have crushed Ukraine's demographics. Nationally, Ukraine now records 3.55 deaths for every single birth, up from around two before the full-scale invasion. In frontline regions, the numbers are catastrophic: Kherson Oblast has soared to 14 deaths per birth, while Donetsk Oblast stands at an unbelievable 19 deaths for every newborn.

For comparison, in Gaza, the death-to-birth ratio was 0.19 before the war, reached 0.8 to 1.1 at its peak in 2014, and sits around 0.36 currently. The demographic long-term damage in frontline Ukraine is far more severe.

When you combine these figures with atrocities like the 2022 siege of Mariupol (where up to 88,000, mostly civilians, died in just three months), the intent to destroy Ukraine's future becomes undeniably clear.

Ukraine has no choice but to resist and beat Russia, because living under Russian occupation means total demographic and cultural erasure.

To stop this deliberate erasure, the West must dramatically increase its military aid to Ukraine while applying maximum sanctions and pressure on Moscow

🚨BREAKING: Men posed as ICE agents and detained and assaulted a woman… and Tom Homan is telling everyone that they just have to comply with this.

A woman was driving on Highway 211, in Oregon, when a vehicle with flashing red and blue lights pulled behind her.

Believing she was being stopped by law enforcement, she pulled over.

Two men approached her vehicle, one was carrying a rifle, and they claimed to be ICE agents and told her she was being detained.

They pulled her out of her car, searched her, and put her in the back of their vehicle.

Then, a third man… who remained inside the vehicle… assaulted her.

He told her he was the “guard.”

The men were wearing tactical vests labeled “POLICE,” carrying fake badges, and wore face coverings.

They held her for nearly 20 minutes before telling her she was free to go… and then she drove herself to the hospital.

And while she was there, she reported that she started receiving text messages from someone claiming to be a law firm offering legal representation for her detention.

Federal authorities later confirmed this was NOT an official ICE operation… These were people pretending to be federal agents.

And this is exactly why Tom Homan telling people to “comply” with anyone claiming to be ICE is so incredibly dangerous.

Because what is a person supposed to do when someone in a tactical vest, carrying a gun, pulls them over with flashing lights and says they are federal agents?

Just trust them?

This is not about telling people to resist legitimate law enforcement.

This is about the government normalizing a system where anyone can look like an armed federal agent, claim to have authority over you, and expect you to obey without being able to verify who they are.

That doesn’t make people safer.

It makes everyone more vulnerable to being kidnapped, assaulted, or killed by criminals who know they can pretend to be ICE.

Michael Clarke: When people in the States say, "Oh, look how corrupt Ukraine is," I’d say, "First of all, pal, I think Ukraine, objectively, is less corrupt than United States is these days."

You can construct sensible argument, which says: "Ukrainians talk about corruption because it bothers them. You guys have stopped talking about it because it doesn’t bother you anymore. You’ve normalized it."

I think there’s sensible argument to say that Ukraine is less corrupt than the United States.

This is Druzhkivka in the Donetsk region.

Yet another town is slowly getting killed. Russia came to "liberate" it... from its people, homes, laughter, dreams, jobs, and life itself.

They brought fire, death, and destruction. That is what they bring everywhere they go.
