15-year-old Ukrainian WFM Anastasiia Hnatyshyn produced one of the most remarkable upsets of European championship history, winning the European Women's Championship outright in Batumi, Georgia.

An interesting proposal for restoring human versus machine chess competition was to limit the machine to the same energy expenditure as the human brain. A worthy challenge, considering the amount of power required for AI data centers!
Russian political influence over other countries is decreasing. Azerbaijan – they are independent. Armenia – yesterday's elections became a big success for Armenia’s independence. I also think the Russians lost Moldova. Of course, they don't want to lose Ukraine, because an independent and free Ukraine is the biggest and politically most dangerous country for Russia.
When Ukraine joins the EU, Putin will have internal problems with different peoples, especially in the Caucasus. Different peoples across Russia will be raising questions.
From an interview with The Guardian. (1/3)
In 1942, C.S. Lewis predicted a future dystopia where:
-Education is leveled to a mediocre state to avoid hurt feelings
-The middle class is hollowed out, removing the primary champions of private excellence
-"Avoiding trauma" becomes the excuse to stop pushing students to their full potential
The obsession with perfect equality ends up destroying human greatness — and it’s fueled by state education, where schools become more like nurseries than academic institutions.
Seems like Lewis’s dystopia is already here.
Our soldiers quickly captured two enemy columns of armored vehicles, including modern T-72B3s and even T-90Ms. Instead of simply blowing up the tanks, they did something the Russians certainly did not expect.
Ukrainian crews got into the captured Russian tanks, switched on the radios, adopted the Russians' call signs, and set off on a deep raid behind enemy lines, posing as friendly forces.
The Russian columns moved calmly, believing they were safe. Our tank crews quickly neutralized the original crews, mastered the equipment, and blended into the Russian traffic flow. They spoke Russian over the radio, used the correct call signs, and imitated the style of Russian communications. At checkpoints, they were waved through without suspicion: "Go ahead, guys."
The Ukrainians then calmly drove straight onto the grounds of a Russian brigade headquarters.
Once inside, they suddenly turned their turrets and opened fire. The headquarters, supply depots, and vehicle park were turned into an inferno within minutes. Russian troops ran in panic between tents, firing in every direction, but it was already too late. They had allowed a "Trojan horse" onto their own base.
The operation was carried out brilliantly. Ukrainian forces seized the headquarters, captured officers, destroyed key facilities, and withdrew with minimal losses.
She lost her leg to a russian strike. She didn’t lose her dream.
Ukrainian gymnast Oleksandra Pascal won gold at the “Carla’s Rhythmic Cup” in Romania — competing with a bionic prosthetic leg.
In 2022, she survived a russian strike on Zatoka, spent weeks in intensive care, and underwent amputation.
Today, she stands on the podium.
Stronger than war. Stronger than what tried to break her.
In memory of Jung Hoon KIM, a South Korean volunteer who lost his life for defending Ukraine against Russian invaders. In his 50's, he volunteered to fight for Ukraine. Respect, honour, glory and gratitude to his sacrifice. RIP.

Ukrainian geography update! 🇺🇦 Our drones took control of the land corridor linking Crimea—Russian logistics down by 70%! Now, Russian troops are fleeing from Kinburn Spit. Liberation of Crimea looks more promising! One day, you’ll see its beauty firsthand. Share, subscribe, and watch Putin’s collapse! 🌊🔥

@AZ_Brittney@LePapillonBlu2 One word to describe Donny — CUNT
Mind you, it’s an acronym: cruel, unrepentant, narcissistic thug. But upon closer inspection, that acronym seems to be far worse.
