Of course western nations will not call out the genocide in Ukraine, because then they would have to do something about it and it would also limit their opportunity to go back to business as usual with Russia.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 20, 2014. Russia is waging a genocidal war of aggression to annihilate Ukrainians as a people. From March 2014 onwards, Putin has pretended to negotiate a settlement of the war he started. Western leaders have gone along with this fraud.

Europe needs to stand up to Putin and take no shit and leave Trump to his slumber. He's a lame duck already and will be gone soon enough. And surely if Putin's demands are thrown back in his face the west can collectively defeat this man who has caused so much despair and death...

While European leaders are in trance with secondary issues, officials from the US, Russia and China sit together regarding issues concerning Europe.

Sixteen years of fear, appeasement, and wishful thinking have brought us to this. russia isn’t “seeking peace,” it’s openly threatening Europe with more war. It wants to erase 🇺🇦, subjugate its people, and then move on to the next target. Pretending otherwise is how wars grow.

OBrien on hard truths for Europe 🎯👇 "It starts with one simple word—truth. Europeans needed to understand that they were on their own. They needed to prepare to support Ukraine on their own, to stop deferring to the USA, to prepare the continent greater for strategic autonomy and self-defense.

The irony of this being posted in English... by an Irishman.

I’m seeing talk on Reddit from the British left that Sultana is very close to SWP who are close to RT’s guy Galloway who’s close to Bannon and Bannon of course is close to Farage/Thiel so yeah it feels like an op, like Jill Stein was over here

Ukraine taking the initiative again where it's Western allies failed to act. We couldn't stop the Russian shadow fleet. So now Ukraine is sinking it.

Trump's Ukraine "peace" plan is a profit scheme: let Russia keep stolen territory, rebuild for U.S. gain. That's not defending democracy-it's selling it off.

How is this a shock to anyone who's been paying even the most minimal attention to what Trump has been saying and his admin have been doing all year? I posted this in February, for example. Officials who simply chose not to believe it because it's all too difficult might want to rethink their career

The current Russian troll farm defence of its invasion, massacres and tortures is to go ‘what about Israel’? Don’t be derailed. Human rights are human rights whether in Palestine or Ukraine

Another outcome for which the Kremlin worked, lest we forget. Described in "Road to Unfreedom."

How long will Europe watch as Trump tries to push Ukraine into a Russian trap and sell the world a capitulation disguised as “peace”?

Russian infiltration of the GOP has without question been the greatest intelligence victory in history. It's literally the only thing keeping the Russian government from collapse.

Utterly surreal that a key part of the pre Budget narrative from the government hasn’t been ‘Russian planes keep buzzing the Essex coast, US support for NATO is looking shaky, and thanks to the Tories our army fits in Old Trafford - that’s why we need to raise taxes’.

"We have built factories that could start making equipment tomorrow. But we can’t until an order is placed” Worked with @estwebber.bsky.social on a sad tale about Britain's defence industry, waiting to hear if the government will ever pour money into the sector www.politico.eu/article/keir...

A very difficult video to watch. But the world must see such footage to understand what is truly happening in Ukraine — that Russia is striking civilians, that children are trapped under rubble.1/2

Witkoff: "I told the president that you - that the Russian Federation has always wanted a peace deal. That’s my belief. I told the president I believe that." What reason is there to think this? Unbelievable naiveté (at best) from a US envoy.

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg

Why are 3 Trump factions pursuing competing talks with Russia & Ukraine? In the end, Putin will say no if Ukraine does not capitulate, & it will not, while Trump will not do anything against Putin, his favorite. This is a waste of time. Europe needs to finance & arm Ukraine!

“The Kremlin’s greatest strategic victory of the last decade wasn’t a tidal wave of drones hitting Ukraine, or a tank column in Donbas. It’s their power to hack social media” 🎯 ⁦‪@TheRickWilson‬⁩ www.againstallenemies.net/p/maga-is-a-...

It's somewhat amusing that you can pass yourself off as a Russia expert commenting on this "peace deal" as messy but at least "a way to end the war" without realising Kremlin sees it as just a tactic to continue it later. It will end nothing.

Now we know the extent of how social media accounts expressing extremist views are often fake & coming from industrial scale troll farms in Russia ,Nigeria ,Thailand etc where is the political will to stop it ? Is government so owned by tech that the internet can just continue to be unregulated ?

Daniel Muñoz dedicated his goal against Wolves to his friend Sebastián Ríos, who died from pancreatitis. 😔 Muñoz left his national team's camp to attend the funeral in Bello last week. 🇨🇴 RIP Sebastián. 🙏 #WOLCRY #CPFC

Here's a seven-point peace plan:

One of the biggest hypocrisies related to the Russo-Ukrainian war is when western leaders keep repeating that borders should never be allowed to be changed by force while almost in the same sentence pushing Ukraine to accept new borders. Very few states are free from guilt here.

Starmer is clueless. He's repeating Biden's error of acting as if it is politics as usual, totally ignoring the massive international kleptofascist attack on British and Western democracy. As with Biden, his gamble that the economy will come good is likely to fail, and then what?

then veto him ! It's time

Russia is not winning its war in Ukraine But Steve Witkoff has agreed to treat them as a victor It’s a long Russian con to make America complicit — and it makes America weak, and corrupt

Right now, Europe is allowing Putin, who sees Europe as an enemy, and Trump, who is compromised by Russia as proven by Epstein emails, to decide Europe’s fate. We could take our destiny back into our own hands by seizing Russian frozen assets now. Will we do it?

Hi All, just sent out this (mostly free). The Long Con of the Trump administration came to an end yesterday, as it was always going to do. We are back in the Oval Office with Trump and Vance ambushing Zelensky. The whole pivot to Ukraine was a sham to help Putin. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

The “deal” deprives Ukraine of everything it has won by withstanding Russian aggression and defending the borders of Europe. It rewards Russian lawlessness—and makes America complicit in the lawlessness. It’s the end of post WWII American power. www.greatpower.us/p/28-points-...

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

An investigation into Russian interference in our politics is long overdue. And we all know who should be questioned first.

Today is Holodomor Remembrance day. So Ukrainians will be lighting up a candle on the windowsill at 16:00. You can do it too even if you are not Ukrainian, and I will appreciate it. #UkrainianView

Yesterday on @bbc5live.bsky.social with @connorphillips.bsky.social on the #Trump merry-go-round #Ukraine is tired of finding itself on. Every time badly designed, unworkable ‘solutions’ designed to bully us into capitulation. A ‘peace plan’ so bad it might as well have been written in #moscow.

russia is genociding Ukrainians again right now but again the world sleeps and looks for ways to sell Ukrainians to russia.

Repeating daily since Trump was inaugurated 🫠

Unless a political miracle happens and Europe finds the courage to act, commit resources, and treat Ukraine’s victory as its own, Russia and its allies will dismantle Europe pinch by pinch, while it sleeps and sees sweet dreams of how being in NATO makes it untouchable.

Btw, I do hope people understand what they have seen today. It was a well-planned and deliberate ambush of Ukraine by Trump, to force the Ukrainians to bend the knee to Putin's dictatorship. It was not slip-shod, rushed, impulsive or an accident. It was prepared malice.

This is what Europe now gets for their failure to support Ukraine decisively. If this “deal” is now forced upon Ukraine, Europe will have to fight for its very existence soon.
