Fun fact - they brought the same singer back the next year, and since they clearly didn’t actually give a shit about her or the number, she ended up with russia’s worst ever ESC result. 🙃

If you don’t recall - they specifically went out of their way to internally select a singer with a visible, severe disability who had also unlawfully entered occupied Ukrainian territory before, so Ukrainians would look like assholes for refusing her entry (we hosted in 2017). 🙃

Allowing russian Paralympic athletes to compete under their own flag is such a vile manipulation. Making it specifically about disabled people so anyone who speaks against it looks like an asshole - nothing new, they literally did this with Eurovision in 2017.

‪What a horrific, glaring injustice. To all of us, but especially to the Quirimlar - Crimean natives. Unforgivable evil. For 12 years, so many lives have been shaped by cruelty and injustice, and by the refusal to accept them. I just hope I live to see russia get what it deserves.‬

‪My great aunt lives in Crimea. She’s in her 80s, with no family nearby if something happens. Thankfully she’s in good health, but she’s not getting any younger.‬

‪Looked through social media of some former local friends. Feels like they live in a completely different reality.‬

Weird to even think about this. 12 years.

12 years since they took away our Crimea - a place most russians have never been to and never will visit. A place that was the go-to destination for so many Ukrainians every summer. A place I’ve been to a thousand times over the years.

Me too. These monsters can no longer exist. We will never forget, we will never forgive.💔

‪Those murderers, r*pists, looters, terrorists, occupants are called RUSSIANS. People from russia, citizens of russia, russians. The government could never do anything like this without the RUSSIANS who have worked tirelessly for years to genocide Ukrainians. Give credit, assholes.‬

⚡️ Ukraine marks 12 years since the start of Russian aggression as a new law officially names it the War for Ukraine’s Independence.

February 19, 2026, marks 12 years since the onset of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.

Errer des jours sans fin avec Macron, ou Penser la guerre en Ukraine avec Aron • desk russie La Russie mène une guerre d’anéantissement civilisationnel. Tant que nous éluderons cette dimension, nous resterons sans stratégie.

Dans Notre Guerre, Ed. L'Observatoire, j'avais commencé à m'inspirer de Raymond Aron pour déchiffrer la guerre russe contre l'Ukraine.
Ici, dans @deskrussie.bsky.social, Pierre Raiman poursuit ce travail et c'est absolument excellent et inspirant.

While russia's all-out and genocidal war against Ukraine began on February 24, 2022, it should be remembered that the war actually began on February 20, 2014, with the invasion of Crimea, followed by that of Donbass.
Western leaders looked the other way and did nothing to stop Moscow.
Their guilt.

russia has been attacking Ukraine with a barrage of drones all day.

A recent strike on a neighborhood in Zaporizhzhia has left 7 injured, including a child.

The unhinged Solovyov has completely lost it: the propagandist is now imagining a war with NATO and dreaming of the occupation of European countries

Apparently, such toxic rhetoric is highly valued in the Kremlin, as Putin awarded this psychopath a medal yesterday...

Russia has stationed two army corps (around 350-360,000 Russian soldiers) in Belarus, CDU politician Roderich Kiesewetter said.

In an interview with ntv, he said this is causing concern in the West, especially in the Baltic states.

"It's a total mess here.We were just being killed,thrown into a meat grinder.Our entire company is completely wiped out.In two days, those f*ckers [Ukrainians] killed everyone."
