The muscovy is a state sponsor of terrorism, and must be recognized and treated as such.

Here's my language studying summary for 2025! Averaged about 40 minutes per day. I spent much more time concentrating on Ukrainian this year for practical reasons, but I tried to maintain my Spanish.

I've been told that these little wooden shapes used to decorate the Christmas market are called a "Павук", meaning "spider". It's been interesting to see the shift towards more Western-like Christmas traditions since the start of the full scale invasion.

December 9 marks the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of Genocide.

In Ukraine, this day is not only about remembering past atrocities; it draws attention to the ongoing crimes committed by russia: the abduction of children, the torture and killing of civilians and more.
