Here is a small reminder for everyone spreading the pro-russian narrative about "revenge for Wildberries," as well as for any normal person who doesn't follow the war closely and feels confused. Pay attention to the dates!
Russia struck the Amstor Shopping Mall in Kremenchuk on June 27, 2022, with cruise missiles in the middle of the day while up to 1,000 people were inside. 21 people died, and over 70 were injured.
Russia struck the Epicentr Hypermarket in Kharkiv on May 25, 2024. It was a weekend afternoon, and around 200 civilians and staff were inside shopping for home supplies. The blast sparked a high-temperature chemical and building-material fire. We had to use DNA testing to identify victims. 19 were killed, including children, and 46 were injured.
Russia struck the Kostiantynivka Central Market and surrounding shops at least twice: September 6, 2023, and August 9, 2024. Both strikes targeted dense retail zones crowded with shoppers during morning or early afternoon hours. 17 were killed and 32 injured in the September 2023 strike, and 14 were killed and 44 injured in the August 2024 strike on the Eko-Market.
Russia struck the Nova Poshta Sorting Terminal in Korotych, Kharkiv region, on October 21, 2023. Late at night, while employees were unloading civilian mail, parcels, and humanitarian packages, two S-300 missiles hit a location where missiles arrive faster than they can be detected. The 8 people killed stood no chance, 15 people were injured.
Russians continued to strike Nova Poshta in Korotych on January 13, 2026, killing 4 people and injuring 6; on July 19, 2026, killing 4 people and injuring 19; and on August 2, 2026, killing a driver. Among all the attacks listed, only the latest two occurred after the beginning of Ukrainian strikes on Wildberries.
Russia struck the ATB Supermarket & Retail Square in Kherson on May 3, 2023. Hitting civilian shopping infrastructure during daytime hours, they trapped shoppers inside the burning grocery hall. 23 people were killed across Kherson that day: 4 inside the ATB supermarket, 1 inside the Epicentr store, and others at nearby transport stops and shops.
Russia struck the Kherson Central City Market on October 1, 2024. Around 9:00 AM, artillery rounds landed directly in active outdoor market stalls. 7 were killed and 3 were injured.
Finally, Russia struck Kramatorsk Central Station on April 8, 2022, during an active civilian evacuation. A Tochka-U ballistic missile hit packed evacuation platforms, killing 63 civilians, including 9 children, and injuring over 150.
They also struck Chaplyne Railway Station on August 24, 2022, where an Iskander missile hit passenger trains and adjacent cars, killing 25 civilians and burning passenger carriages.
This is a tiny fraction of Russian strikes on Ukrainian retail chains, markets, and civilian transportation infrastructure during the full-scale invasion. A tiny, little fraction! So when you brain-dead amoebas write "revenge for Wildberries," think again. Russia was bombing Ukraine all these years, long before our attacks on Wildberries, and they will continue regardless.
It’s election week! At this important moment I would like to address your entire planet with a message to the people of Earth. And I think I found the perfect place to do it.
BREAKING 🚨 from @Annaisaac
George Cottrell gave $2m to his mother just before she donated £1m+ to Reform — most via firm owned by Richard Tice.
We previously reported that Cottrell signed up to obscure payments platform ~24hrs before she used same entity to wire £££ to party.
Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface#VoteyMcVoteface#YesWeTinCan
Russians online be like:
"I'm a single mother of 56 children! My husband joined the SMO to murder kids in Ukraine and got droned in the face! And now polyester panties from China that I wanted to resell on Wildberries are getting bombed. What did we do to those Ukrainians? 😭"
NEW: A convicted money launderer has operated at the highest level of UK politics for a decade. Why? Because Farage has enjoyed almost total impunity from the UK press.
In my new piece for @thenerve_news, I expose the decade of denial that’s enabled him to act with impunity

I remember.
That paragraph was written in August 2020 by Trump’s National Intelligence Council. It says Putin personally ran an operation to frame my father through a fake Burisma scandal centered on me.
Rudy Giuliani flew to Kyiv to collect it from a man Trump’s own Treasury designated as an active Russian agent.
John Solomon printed it and promoted it through Sean Hannity and Fox.
Ken Vogel put it on the front page of the New York Times on May 1, 2019, and moved it into the mainstream.
Senator Ron Johnson ran a Senate investigation on it after being warned by Trump’s FBI that his source was a conduit for Russian disinformation.
James Comer built an impeachment investigation on it knowing all of this.
And an “FBI informant” named Alexander Smirnov went to prison for fabricating a story of bribery after the fact that everyone knew to be a lie.
And Donald Trump declassified the receipt himself.
I remember everything. And I have all of it.
This is a devastating blow for russia and I’m incredibly proud of the result. It’s proof that if you put enough pressure on politicians and wake enough people up, real change can happen.
The power of journalism when used for good. 🙏❤️
The Sunday Times has already reported that:
- Richard Tice's company broke the law by failing to pay at least £90k in tax
- That his shell companies failed to pay £100k of tax, benefitting his firm, which donated to Reform
- That he used a loophole to avoid £600k
He furiously denounced our reporting: now it transpires the web of companies was involved in transactions with George Cottrell and Cottrell's mother, who, we reported in our piece on Sunday, described herself in legal documents as a "retired stylist" - and has made £750,000 of donations to Reform.
Hey @IsabelOakeshott, your Isle of Wight flat has a personal secured loan from Simon Dolan, who has hosted George Cottrell and his friends several times in Mustique at the Mandalay property. You were with Cottrell when he was arrested. You are highly suspicious, to put politely
Bravo to the @Gabriel_Pogrund & team. This is the story in plain sight that needed to be nailed. Congrats are in order for getting it over a difficult line.
George Cottrell has operated with impunity at highest levels of UK politics for more than a decade
