"The size of the Ukrainian army is not a problem, because it has not attacked Russia. The size of the Russian army is a problem for all of its neighbors."

Vladyslav Heraskevych, who wore a helmet with photos of Ukrainian athletes killed by Russia’s war, says the IOC has banned him from using it during official training sessions and competitions.

Please listen to his words!

“The world must know the price of freedom.”

Today the winter Olympics open. Russia and Belarus are allowed to participate under neutral flag.

I’ll call this photo ‘Home’. 157 Ukrainians are finally back home, some - after years of Russian captivity. The youngest is just 23. He was captured when he was just 19 and was defending Mariupol.

This video brought tears to my eyes.A dad has been waiting for son Ivan to return from Russian captivity for over 3yrs

Today,he received the message
(families of Ukrainians in Russian captivity often gather when news of an exchange appear,hoping today their loved ones will finally return home)

Incredible self own for the US. The damage being done to the US scientific enterprise is generational. We will look back on this as a tipping point where the US chose all on its own to stop leading the world in science.

Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life.

But 5 minutes later….

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Everyone freezing on the East Coast or in the Midwest remember: Kyiv has the same weather, except that hundreds of thousands of people don't have electricity, heating or running water

russia is preparing another massive combined attack to freeze us, Ukrainians to death.

This is a large-scale crime against humanity, unfolding right now, live.

During his visit to Kyiv, British Defence Secretary John Healey’s train had to make an emergency stop after it came under a rocket‑drone attack nearby, the Daily Mail reports. Local officials said at least four people were killed in the strike that same day.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainians are expecting a huge air attack tonight on Kyiv. The Russians may use hypersonic ballistic missiles

Europe’s top leaders rally to defend Greenland against Trump’s threats 8 European leaders say only Denmark and Greenland can determine the future of the giant Arctic island.

Trump/Russia? Greenland gambit attacks NATO, as Putin wants. Venezuela gambit emboldens Putin on Ukraine, may be a de facto swap. Support for EU far right aligns with Putin. Please let’s not pretend there’s no Trump/Russia happening.

Jared Kushner has somehow found a place at Coalition of the Willing press conference with Scholz, Zelensky, Macron, Starmer and Witkoff.

Kushner has no official position in the US government.

Reading the news from Kharkiv,
where a residential area was hit today.

At least 30 people injured, a child killed 💔

So unfair. The least we can do is shout about russian crimes.

Handlers for russian intelligence were fooled into paying a reward of $500,000 for what they believed was the assassination of RDK commander Denis Kapustin. The money is already being used to strengthen special forces of the HUR (Ukrainian military intelligence).

Reminds me of a Soviet-era Bulgarian joke. Govt announces Bulgaria’s IT industry is so advanced, they’ve started exporting computers to Japan (Yaponiya in Bg). Turns out they were exporting compotes to Yakutiya.

PS. Ragozin is a putinist psyop. I hope no one takes him seriously.

Russia’s claim that Ukraine recently targeted key government sites in Russia is a deliberate distraction. Moscow aims to derail real progress towards peace by Ukraine and its Western partners. (1/2)

More convincing than anything we've offered.

"President Trump and his team must first establish the facts before taking responsibility. Putin is a well-known shameless liar." - said Rep. Don Bacon, criticizing Trump’s reaction to Russia’s claim of a Ukrainian drone attack on Putin’s residence.

"Where is their condemnation of the fact that our children are being bombed and people are being killed all this time? I don't hear India, frankly, nor the United Arab Emirates," President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Dec. 30.

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

Read that again.

⚡️Russian state media quotes FM Lavrov saying Moscow will reconsider its negotiating position in light of alleged attack by Ukrainian forces on Putin's residence in Novgorod.

Zelenskyy responds in voice note to reporters, saying it's "lies," Russia laying groundwork to attack govt buildings in Kyiv.

The Prime Minister of India has never once criticised a russian missile attack on civilians and civilian objects in Ukraine.

Yet he takes this opportunity to spread russian lies. Even the russian ministry of defence was unaware of any supposed attack.

Go fuck yourself, Modi.
