Graffiti in Dobropillia, Donetsk region: “Russia destroyed our city. We won’t forgive!”

Most Russians: Everything is great — except for sewage running in the streets and lack of money. We love Putin! A few Russians: When will the SMO end? Very interesting man-on-the-street interviews ahead of the Direct Line with Putin — 2025. Video: SotaVision

💔 Ukrainian toddlers have to learn how to eat in the dark because adult-sized toddlers in power are too afraid of a bunker grandpa.

Putin called Europeans today “podsvinky.” For those who prefer a precise translation: podsvinki are young pigs, 4–10 months old, usually raised for meat.

Joke of the day: “Maybe Russia eventually replaces the UK in a grand tech deal with the U.S.” Russian… tech? LOL

“It used to be Pokrovsk. Now it’s Krasnoarmeysk again.” — Solovyov declares proudly while cruising through yet another Ukrainian city laid to ruin by his country. 🔽

President Zelensky: ‘We must keep exposing every single Russian falsehood, because truth restores justice.’ Sir, yes sir! 🫡

A few days ago, one of Russia’s main Christmas trees fell due to strong winds. Now a replica of the Statue of Liberty has toppled in Brazil. Also because of strong winds… Could it be the Wind of Change?

It’s funny how Lukashenko is trying to sit on three chairs with just one ass.

🤬 Russian media is abuzz with excitement, reporting that the International Chess Federation (FIDE) has allowed Russian chess players to compete in international competitions under the Russian flag. A vote at Sunday’s FIDE General Assembly — 61 in favor, 51 against — delivered a checkmate on morals.

“What can we do with them? Let them stay there and fertilize our Ukrainian soil.” — Valentyn Symovyniuk, a 30-year-old soldier of Ukraine’s 107th Territorial Defense Brigade from Bukovina, who spent 171 days continuously on a frontline position in the Luhansk region.

1994. Ukrainian magazine “Vsesmih,” Canada. Crimea is crying out for help as Russia tries to seize it.

“When asked, ‘Who and what is Russia?’ my answer is: ‘It’s me!’” — says a legless and armless Russian dude in a military uniform, complaining of not being respected enough. Yep. He’s correct! If Russia were a person, it’d be him.

Lukashenko’s latest comedy routine🔽 “We come in peace but we are preparing for war so that it never happens. We only have Russian nukes because Lithuanians got mad at us for no reason. In conclusion: We are not going to attack anyone. We’ve had enough of war.” 🤪🤪🤪

Russian ‘Rambos’ in training! 😂😂😂

“Oh, this Crimea is so beautiful! WOW! It’s surrounded on four sides by ocean.” — Trump Will FIFA start giving out fake geography awards too? Asking for a friend.

Funny how the ‘Ukraine should have elections!’ line suddenly popped up again from the Kremlin crowd. And right on schedule, their favorite megaphone repeated it. Pure coincidence, I’m sure. Friendly reminder: Ukraine can’t hold elections during wartime. It’s literally in their constitution.

😂😂😂 ‼️Every second Russian child wants to leave Russia following the blocking of Roblox, Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the Safe Internet League, reported on her Telegram channel: 🔽🔽🔽

This is who Ukrainians are fighting for. 💙💛

This is what comes to mind, right?

When it comes to Moscovia, we all love using the phrase: “Enough about your horrific past. Let’s talk about your horrific future.” However, in this case, looking back at Russia’s horrific past is appropriate, because it gives us a glimpse into its future. 🔽🔽🔽

There’s a Russian expression, “Мелочь, а приятно,” which translates as “It’s a small thing, but it feels good.” 
This is exactly that. 🔽😁😂

Isn’t it cute that Witkoff and Kushner are making promises to the Kremlin not to go to Kyiv? 🤮

This is an absolute must-watch! I don’t know who created this video, but it’s brilliant, hysterical, and sad at the same time.

“Russia is open to peace negotiations, but must achieve its goals set within the framework of the special military operation (SMO).” — Peskov Translation: “Russia is open to achieving by corrupt negotiations what it can’t achieve on the battlefield.”

This sounds like a spy comedy 🔽 One Russian cosmonaut got kicked off a SpaceX mission for snapping pics of secret SpaceX files… so naturally, they replaced him with another FSB agent pretending to be a cosmonaut. 🤪🤪🤪 united24media.com/latest-news/...

And so it begins… Putin’s meeting with Witkoff and Kushner opens with the exchange of pleasantries. 🤢🤢

“If Europe suddenly wants to go to war with us and starts it, we’re ready for it right now.” — Putin

The genocidal old fart in a security guard uniform called the situation on the battlefield, where Russia loses about a thousand of its own soldiers daily — a “tragedy of the Ukrainian people.”

I was dusting and moving things around. I thought it was kind of symbolic that I accidentally ended up placing the globe in front of “Ukraine.” So I took a picture, looked at it, and realized that the U.S. was the country showing on the globe in the photo. Symbolic indeed…

Two main causes led to Russia’s full-scale invasion: Western leaders don’t understand who Putin is, and they are indecisive. In retrospect, the West should have listened to what Boris Nemtsov was warning them about over a decade ago.

“Not only have they instilled in us the eternal fear felt by slaves, but they’ve also instilled shamelessness. By using us, they can turn others into slaves.” — Soviet actor Georgiy Burkov, in his final interview (1990)

Isn’t it a cute place? It’s a residential complex in Kyiv called Comfort Town. A Russian Shahed targeted one of these buildings tonight…

“You are giving money. Fantastic! But Ukrainians are dying. By the way, have I missed Tomahawks, Taurus — the missiles that can change the course of the war?” — Garry Kasparov addresses Western support for Ukraine at the 2025 Halifax International Security Forum.
