Ivan reports from Kyiv on war & society in Ukraine

Varvara Volkova, russian stewardess, is sentenced by the putin's regime to 7 years in prison for speaking the truth. She wrote in the Sapronovo village chat that russians are killing civilians. Ruslan Grigoryev, russian military, reported her. He was killed in Ukraine in March 2025.

“The first draft of the US-Ukraine minerals deal was an outrageous colonial land grab, but the final version proved far more balanced. Ukrainians will be hoping to repeat this negotiation success.”

Peter Dickinson joined BBC News ahead of US-Ukraine talks over Trump’s Putin-friendly peace plan

“Ukrainians feel they are being presented with an ultimatum and forced to choose between surrender and defeat.”

Business Ukraine publisher Peter Dickinson joined BBC News this morning as President Trump pressures Ukraine to accept a Kremlin-friendly peace plan by Thanksgiving or lose US support

Dmitriev was born in Kyiv in 1975, moved to the US in 1989, graduated from Stanford University and Harvard Business School, but he sounds like an aide to Gromyko, 1957–1985 soviet Minister of Foreign Affairs. A man outside his time. How it's even possible?

One of few russians with spine & decency.

An important provision was omitted from the "Peace Deal":

Ukraine will enshrine in its Constitution absolute, entire & complete prohibition to call the majestic russian overlord "khuilo", "huilo" or whatever other derogatory term. In case of violation, 50 hours of balalaika music will be imposed.

Dmitriev is often called putin's favourite protégé & a "son-in-law" that putin dreamt of but never got.
A modern economist outside, a man with rotten commie nomenklatura thinking inside.

Or photos & videos from Jeffrey Epstein's private island Little St. James.

Trump's Peace Deal for Ukraine is so absurd that nobody would be surprised if it included secret provisions like:
- annual Hunger Games in Donetsk
- monthly delivery of 12 teenagers to kremlin
- lenin monument in Washington

Ukrainians are coining titles for Trump's "Peace Deal".

The Rotten Deal is among favourites.

All of us understand that Trump's administration is making efforts to save putin, as the russian economy is on the verge of collapse.

There must be a reason for this.

russia in 2022: Capitulate.
russia in 2023: Capitulate.
russia in 2024: Capitulate.
russia in 2025: Capitulate.

The US in 2025: Capitulate.

Ukraine in 2022: Go f*ck yourself.
Ukraine in 2023: Go f*ck yourself.
Ukraine in 2024: Go f*ck yourself.
Ukraine in 2025: Go f*ck yourself.

Preferably to host pilots on their jets, not politicians on trains.

Trump is pushing us past the point of no return, towards a world war against Russia and China, his legacy will be shaped by his collaboration with those powers, and by his monumental acts of criminality, terrorism, and treason.

Apparently russia used its strongest leverage over the US Govt which is now threatening to cut any support to Ukraine.

Several hundreds of missiles shot at refineries might destroy fragile putin's regime. russia is much closer to collapse than anyone can imagine.

Ukraine is ready to take the risk.

The role of the US in the russia-Ukraine war isn't OK.
It's terribly wrong.
In the ongoing pressure on Ukraine the US Govt openly sided with the anti-democratic regime. The "Peace Plan" includes 28 points of human rights dissolution & rewarding of aggression.

Current American "peace" plan lacks just one thing - the date of full occupation of Ukraine.
Witkoff promotes full surrender of democracy & total rewarding of aggression.

First, russia deliberately destroyed a big pharmaceutical warehouse in Kyiv.
Then they destroyed another one in Dnipro.

While russia is making medicines inaccessible in Ukraine, pharmaceutical companies continue to operate in russia "for humanitarian reasons". Do genocide mongers deserve this?

Before 2014, Ukraine operated 15 thermal power plants.
Due to the 2014 russian occupation & subsequent hostilities, Ukraine was left with 8 thermal power stations.
Following the 2022 full-scale russian invasion, as of November 2025, only 3 power plants remain partially operational incl in Sloviansk.

The allies could have supported Ukraine in dismantling the russian economy back in 2022.
The fear paralysed them. They chose to condemn Ukrainians to use machine guns from the 1960s against cruise missiles. So many lives were lost due to the fear & vain attempts to avoid escalation!

🦉 An owl shoots down a Russian mavic 3t.

Whenever anybody mentions "avoiding escalation" or "fear of WWIII", Ukrainians know they are dealing with a coward that doesn't care about the lives of people.

No event of russian culture should be allowed without screening videos like this.

russians ruthlessly kill civilians and a dog under a white flag.

#Ukraine #war

Russia is now openly using the 9M729 missile, the very weapon that caused the INF Treaty to collapse. A nuclear-capable system, deployed against Ukraine. This is no longer escalation; it’s the dismantling of the last remnants of nuclear restraint.

To obtain Ukrainian citizenship, foreigners need to renunciate their original citizenship. Since some countries prosecute those who fought for Ukraine, applications are to accepted based on expired passport of:
russia
belarus
Armenia
Bolivia
Cuba
North Korea
Nicaragua
Sudan
Syria
Zimbabwe
Venezuela

If Ukraine doesn't receive back its lands & reparations, the hunt may turn into a nightmare.
