Terrorist leader Putin called the death of Ali Khamenei "a cynical murder that violates all norms of human morality and international law."

Putin murdered Alexander Litvinenko, Anna Politkovskaya, Boris Nemtsov and many other public figures. For four years he's tried to murder Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Reform UKโ€™s share of BBC and ITV coverage is ridiculous given their number of MPs & considering opposition parties that polled higher (such as Lib Dems) receive such poor coverage.

As Nigel Farage is now so concerned about the influence of "foreign-born voters" can he finally explain why a Kazakhstan-born billionaire appears to be bankrolling his own political party?

Itโ€™s a bit hard for the people of Iran to rise up while the bombs and missiles rain down. And when the bombardment stops, the men with guns are all too likely to be ready for more repression.

The last few years have exposed a dangerous reality:

European munition stocks are far from sufficient for a high-intensity conflict.

Deterrence is hollow without deep inventories of cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, guided bombs, and interceptors.

Time to finally step up!

Reports say Mariya Byhun โ€” Zhytomyr Lyceum graduate, gold medalist, Olympiad winner, and Presidential Prize laureate โ€” was killed defending Ukraine.

Her brilliance and sacrifice echo far beyond the front.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

Nigel Farageโ€™s history of spurious election fraud allegations.

2014: Farage claims voting fraud happening โ€œon a third world scaleโ€, no evidence found.
2015: South Thanet elections, Farage fraud allegations dismissed.

I'm struggling to understand the present-day "peace through strength" concept โ€” where some dictators are eliminated, while one particular dictator is offered generous business opportunities and full impunity for genocide.

Again it has to be said - net zero is not the reason for our stubbornly and stupidly high energy prices - the global price of gas is.

Today is March 1st, seen as the first day of spring in Ukraine.

Again, the Russians tried to freeze us into submission over winter.
Again, they failed.

We still stand. And we will keep standing, because we know the cost of defeat.

We are Ukrainians. We will not surrender. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Donald might have to ask the guy he said had no cards for help shooting down Iranian drones that they can't currently stop.

Be interesting to see what Zelensky demands in return.

Ghana says 55 citizens killed in Ukraine war, vows crackdown on Russian recruitment of Africans At least 55 Ghanaian citizens have been killed in fighting in Ukraine, Ghanaโ€™s Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa said Friday, February 27. He vowed to combat Russiaโ€™s illegal recruitment of Africans. Ablakwa visited Kyiv this week to discuss the fate of two Ghanaian citizens captured by Ukrainian forces. During the trip, Ukrainian authorities, citing their own intelligence, shared data on Africans recruited by Russia to fight. โ€œThey documented 1,780 Africans from 36 countries who were lured by criminal human-trafficking networks to take part in the war against Ukraine,โ€ the minister said on Facebook. He said the situation involving Ghanaians is especially troubling. Since 2022, an estimated 272 people from Ghana have ended up on the front lines. According to current assessments, 55 have been killed and two are being held as prisoners of war. โ€œAs a responsible government, we cannot turn a blind eye to this painful tally. These are not just numbers-they represent human lives, the hopes of many Ghanaian families and of our nation. That is why the government is determined to raise awareness and intensify outreach to protect our youth,โ€ he said. He added that President John Dramani Mahamaโ€™s administration is prepared to track and dismantle illicit recruitment schemes. /ru/jemencev-obmanom-verbuut-v-armiu-rf-dla-vojny-v-ukraine/a-70977245 โ€œThis is not our war, and we cannot allow our youth to become a human shield for others,โ€ Ablakwa stressed. At a joint news conference with his Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Sybiha in Kyiv on February 25, he said Ghanaians are being recruited via the โ€œdarknet,โ€ making it impossible for the government to confirm the exact number of citizens drawn into the war. /

Ukrainian military experience of the modern war and defense is priceless today.

Ukraine knows all about Iranian drones and taking them down.
Ukraine has interceptor drones, production technologies.
Ukraine knows so much about modern-day air defense.
