The main news today is,of course, the war in Iran. How will this affect Russia (the oil market)and, accordingly,the war in Ukraine?

After the strike on Iran,the oil market reacted predictably:Brent rose to $72-73 per barrel, and in the event of an escalation, experts believe it can move toward $80‡️

On the night of February 27-28, russian terrorists attacked Ukraine with an Iskander-M ballistic missile and 105 strike UAVs (about 60 of them Iranian "Shaheds").

Ukrainian defenders shot down or suppressed 96 enemy drones.

Six strike UAVs hit; debris fell at seven locations.

⚑ A Russian drone fell just 10 meters from the mayor’s home in Dnipro.

Mayor Filatov said a retaining wall prevented worse damage, while regional head Oleksandr Hanza reported a UAV strike injured one man and damaged buildings and cars.

I think that Putin has watched these videos of missiles flying towards Iran many times from his bunker. Same as he probably did when Maduro was arrested.

When the time for a regime crash comes, no bunker will help. Hitler can confirm that.

Another nightβ€”another russian attack on Ukraine. This time, they killed 2 women and injured another in a strike on an agricultural enterprise near Sumy.

Regardless of what’s happening in the world, russia remains a terrorist state. Help stop the terror: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

Soon there will be few humans who do not speak solely in these phrases spawned by technocapitalism: "circle back", "deep dive", "content", "creator", "physical media", "brand", "hop on a call". They are the incipient signs en route to our unique magical brains being replaced by polypropylene & wire.

The Girl With The Teddy Bearβ€”a 1928 Ukrainian novel that survived Stalin’s purgesβ€”reaches English after 97 years Viktor Domontovych’s 1928 novel survived Stalin’s purges, Soviet censorship, and nearly a century of neglect. Euromaidan Press publishes an exclusive excerpt.

Russia spent 300 years trying to erase the Ukrainian language. In the 1930s, Stalin executed an entire generation of Ukrainian writers.

One of their novels, The Girl With The Teddy Bear, just reached English for the first timeβ€”97 years later.

We're publishing an exclusive excerpt.

Soldiers of the 24th Mechanized Brigade shot down a russian FPV using small arms.

This is how the "NATO expansion provoked Ru" crowd tries to wiggle out of evidence falsifying their theory again! After Finland/Sweden's NATO accession provoked no reaction from Ru, they said it didn't count because Ru's afraid specifically of Ukr in NATO. Now that taking Ukr NATO membership off...
