1/ What is the war in Ukraine even for?, asks a Russian warblogger and paramilitary leader. After four years, the shifting goals of the Russian government have left many of its citizens confused about what its aims are in Ukraine, making it unclear what victory actually means. ⬇️

"Become an Atesh agent." Black leaflets with that message appeared across central Moscow today — the fourth anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The partisan movement says its ranks keep growing, even inside Russia's capital.

Evil b*st*rds 😡

In today’s Vatnik Soup, made together with chef invité @martinlaineolen.bsky.social , we discuss the extensive links between pedophile sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and Russian officials and intelligence operatives, and how Western politicians reinforced these links.

Spare a thought tonight for this Ukrainian guy.
Oleksandr Kachkurkin is from Crimea. He was illegally forced to take Russian citizenship after the illegal occupation.

The programmer fled to Kazakhstan but Russia pressured authorities to deport him and he's now locked up in 🇷🇺

Shame on Kazakhstan. Poor kid 🙁

It's Holocaust Memorial Day.

Ukraine's former Intel Supremo, Kyrylo Budanov laments the words "Never again" have been ignored.

Meanwhile, don’t forget Georgia. For over a year, protests against a repressive, Russia-linked goverment takeover have endured. The regime's latest escalation is arresting people for peacefully standing on sidewalks. On a bus, an activist asks: if you think this deserves jail, raise your hand.

Excellent source

Russian "boys in underwear" are being taught Putin’s army rules in the cold: smoking the commander’s weed is strictly forbidden.

This shocking AI slop, released by a Russian-speaking X account based in the US, is emblematic of the common Russian practice of likening Ukrainians to pigs. This has been going on for years and demonstrates a deeply rooted hatred of Ukrainians that is comparable to the antisemitism of the Nazi era.

1/ A Russian soldier says that only the "marginalised" – drug addicts, the homeless and the destitute – are joining the Russian army these days . He says that the war continues because people in Russia profit from it and that its aim is to "dominate and humiliate" Ukraine. ⬇️

Happy New Year Tim 🎊🥂

Sounds a bit chaotic Tim. Georgijs mentions crappy command in the area

Georgijs (Ukraine Matters) talked about this in today's YT video.
A journalist spoke to a commander in contact with soldiers there. One gives his testimony of events.

Although hitting civilian energy infrastructure could be argued to be of some military value if proven to supply military logistics/factories, there is just zero defence for deliberately slamming drones into apartment blocks, such as this Slavutych complex in Kyiv.

It's no surprise Putin ordered this attack just as Zelenskyy is travelling to Florida to meet Trump.

The misguided US leader may see this as an example of Russia's strength.
But this is terrorism. Call it what it is.

A Russian drone aims for people in Bila Tserkva, Kyiv region

Disgusting!

⭕️The case of jailed Georgian journalist and #SakharovPrize2025 laureate Mzia Amaglobeli has reached the Supreme Court. Her lawyers say she was denied a fair trial at every stage and are seeking to overturn the conviction.

Estonia draws a clear red line. FM Margus Tsahkna says any so called green men crossing the border will be met with live fire, and Russian aircraft violating Estonian airspace risk being shot down. This is NATO territory. If Moscow doubts it, Tsahkna says bluntly, test us.

Thinking about you all in Ukraine Anton. 💙💛

Happy Christmas Tim, and thank you for your tireless dedication to bring us the truth. 💙💛

Agreed Tim. Not one concession from them. Maybe a neutral zone in the west of Russia, that would be a good start. It's always on someone else's land. 'Peace' talks don't exist 😑
