Instead of a thousand words.

This is Kyiv's central square. Each flag represents a fallen Defender who protected Ukraine and Europe from Russia.

Eternal memory and eternal glory to Ukrainian Heroes.

⚑️ Ukraine has sent a team of experts along with interceptor drones to protect U.S. military bases in Jordan, Zelenskyy told the New York Times.

The U.S. requested assistance on March 5. "We responded immediately. I said: yes, of course, we will send our experts," the President of Ukraine stated.

Related: Loudly claim elections are rigged. (Or if you’re trying to retain respectability, raise vague concerns about β€œirregularities” that the public reads as endorsing those claims.) Then when challenged, allow maybe there’s no evidence for rigging but measures are needed to β€œrestore voter trust.”

The MAGA strategy to end democracy in America is similar to that used by other "populist" parties, and is something carefully developed by the Russian intelligence services over many decades.

These are Olena Udovichenko and her son Hordii.

A Russian missile killed them today.

Olena was a teacher in a Kharkiv school, Hordii was a second-grader there.

Last night, Russia killed 11 people in Kharkiv, including Olena and Hordii.
RIP.

Fighting for women's rights today also includes fighting for the right to live in a peaceful and safe country.

Ukrainian women are among those fighting for this right.

Glory to Ukrainian Heroines!

Trump is going to have to ask Congress for more money to fight his war in Iran. This is the time for Democrats and Republicans who support Ukraine to demand military aid for Ukraine as part of any bigger funding bill.

UKRAINE IS SENDING SPECIALIST DRONE OPERATORS TO MIDDLE EAST

Not only to defend the US bases but at the request of several monarchies who have no means of defence against drones. On what appear to have been a β€˜name your price’ scenario President Zelensky authorised their deployment. The Arab states

The Trump regime is easing sanctions on the russian terrorist state for oil exports. India (one of the biggest financial backers of the russian terrorist state) can buy and refine the millions of barrels of russian crude oil in floating storage.

This is a huge blow to Ukraine.

Jeff Sachs spreads lies and manipulations about Ukraine; he appears on russian propaganda shows and speaks for Ru at the UN. There's no excuse to defer to his academic credentials, platform him, and treat him w respect. Whoever does it (for e.g. the Irish president) is complicit in Ru propaganda.

Meloni got a point, here we are...

It all started in Ukraine, when Russia, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, cynically violated the borders of a neighboring country and signaled to the entire world that the rules no longer apply," Meloni remarked in an interview with Tg5.

Populism 101

1989: Orban goes to Oxford on a Soros scholarship.
'10s: Targets Soros as the enemy
'15-20: "Soros is flooding EU with migrants”
'18: KESMA (media conglomerate) formalised, run by Orban allies
'22-26: Targets Zelensky as the enemy

Same strategy, new enemy.

The best way to end the war in Ukraine faster is incredibly simple.

We need to fund more Ukrainian missiles and massively ramp up production right here in Europe to supply them.

Stop hesitating and just give them the firepower to finish this

It is really sad watching European forces scramble to shoot down Iranian drones in the Middle East while they refuse to do the exact same thing for Ukraine.

They will actively protect Middle Eastern skies but let Europe's own skies burn.

Pathetic!
