...as usual, sending a sanctioned gas tankers through Gibraltar, the profits from which are used to build missiles to kill Ukrainians.

There’s a saying: when you pray for rain, you have to deal with the mud too.

And yes, the tanker was carrying LNG, not oil.

It's interesting to see the opinions of some hypocrites who write on X that by destroying a sanctioned Russian tanker, Ukraine is polluting the Mediterranean Sea.

Let me clarify: you don’t just want to lounge on the Riviera in clear water - you also want to continue doing business with Russia

Will the EU learn this simple truth? - Unfortunately, I think only through personal experience.

Well, Ukraine continues to destroy the Russian military and economic machine: this photo shows what remains of a Russian tanker attacked by Ukrainian naval drones in the Mediterranean Sea.

...just as suddenly, and a pleasant morning shower became a cold basement an hour later for the next two and a half years.

This experience teaches a lot, but the main thing is that all these things are always possible. In principle, many people in our country have already learned this.

...launched by Iran, lies on the ground in Dubai, and Shahed drones are being shot down over Cyprus.

Those who yesterday looked at life from the heights of Dubai's skyscrapers are today sitting in its bomb shelters.

For me personally, none of this is a shock or news: in 2017, my life changed..

Russia launched Iranian Shahed drones into Ukraine, and we were told that this was our war and that we were only defending ourselves.

The Ukrainian army was destroying North Korean troops, and we were told that it was our problem.

And now the wreckage of the Russian Geranium drone...

Nobody, the topic of Izolatsia is widely covered in the Ukrainian media, including my interviews.

It's nice that even here, against the backdrop of the famous bull next to the US flag, the Ukrainian flag is fluttering.

but also an attempt to break free from the identity of war and captivity that continues to follow me, even in literature.

January marked one year since I started investing in the global stock market, including the NYSE and NASDAQ.

For me, it was not only about the financial aspect and gaining unique experience - especially at a time when markets seem to be shaking almost every week under Trump... -

Today, on the fourth anniversary of the full-scale invasion, I met Natalie Portman at a New York cafe.

I thanked her for the support of the Ukrainian people, which she expressed at the very beginning of the invasion.

It's amazing how cultural and social life are intertwined in New York.

I've never seen New York so snowy as it is today:

...and everything else is just a repetition of this.

Therefore, it seems to me that the correct language of communication would not be an attempt to evoke shock from horror, but an explanation of the reasons and time after which this horror could come to your own home.

At a dinner with professors from Washington and Lee University, I was asked why mass torture and atrocities by Russians do not provoke an adequate response and action in the West.

I said that the worst that people are capable of doing to each other has already been done... -

Finally, we're admitting the obvious.

...this - comes down to one sentence. Putin himself put it plainly: the territory of the former USSR is historical Russia.

That sentence contains both the present and the future. You don’t need any further explanation - just look closely at this phrase, and it becomes clear...

After speaking at length with students at Washington and Lee University today, I finally said the following:

You must understand one simple thing: everything happening on the front lines in Ukraine, the reason I was captured, the reason I was tortured, the reason I am here speaking about all of

The brutal price Russian troops pay for deserting or disobeying orders In public, Vladimir Putin praises the troops fighting his war of attrition as sacred warriors, yet behind closed doors his war machine abuses its own soldiers to maintain its assault on Kyiv.

No surprise.
The article contains a collection of video evidence posted by the Russians themselves.

In the comments, I'll leave a link to a recent video in which Russians hold a fellow soldier on a leash, force him to bark like a dog, and fetch a stick in his mouth.

Destroy the Russian economy before they destroy Ukraine's: without money, the missiles won't fly. The West has every opportunity to do this, but it's also afraid, and that's the problem.
Ukraine needs a completely new philosophy of electricity consumption, along promoting these new realities.

But the signing of any peace agreement that is 100% short-lived significantly increases this possibility.

...and regroup its forces both in the Baltic direction and to strengthen its offensive in Ukraine in the future.

Weak progress on the Ukrainian front does not correlate with Russia's ability to open a second front in Europe in the conditions of a modern war.

The fact that such tactics are in themselves a war crime seems pointless even to mention.

What's important is that, under these conditions, Moscow can afford to reduce its activity on the front...

It has become clear that Russia has shifted its tactics from the frontline to the energy sector.

With no realistic prospect of capturing even Donbas in the near term, Moscow is doing everything possible to render Kyiv and major regional centers uninhabitable during winter...

Russian general Alexeyev shot several times in Moscow attack Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev is a senior figure in the main directorate of Russia's military general staff.

Alexeyev is number two in the main directorate of Russia's GRU military intelligence and he is the latest high-ranking military figure to have been targeted in the capital since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began almost four years ago.

As for potential threats from Russia or the United States, locals are rather skeptical, though they understand that the Arctic is about missile trajectories - this route simply happens to be optimal. They even joke that Trump would not be able to find their island on the map, or pronounce its name.
