I didn’t think it was possible for me to have more contempt for the IOC than I already have, but I was wrong These highly paid 'adminstrators' are all corrupt. Like FIFA. It's time to clear all sport related 'committees' - they are all corrupt. FFS why is the world taken over by all these mobsters?

"People repeated it because they didn’t understand what was actually happening. The endless Suwałki Gap theorizing — first the corridor, then the whole Baltic, then Gotland — is a 100% product of fears in the West [...] “the Baltics are next” is itself an operation against the Baltic states."

'I think over time you try to remain neutral in the whole conflict.' We're not trying to take sides," said the CEO of Mondelez about the decision to continue doing business in the heart of darkness. Just three days after this shameless interview, russian drones struck a Mondelez factory in Ukraine.

EU countries aiding the enemy: Greece, Cyprus and Malta are opposed to the six-month price cap on Russian oil. Germany and Portugal are opposed to plans to reduce dependence on Russian fish. France, Italy and Spain are opposed to a ban on current and former Russian soldiers entering the EU.

Bluesky regularly labels images of Ukrainian victims of russian fascism yet fails to flag hybrid warfare content, such as US communist social media influencer Jackson Hinkle leading “Death to America” chants in front of Iranian regime supporters. They still need to learn that propaganda kills.⬇️

"It's simply not realistic to keep singing hosannas to the idea of everlasting peace — that mindset leaves people unprepared to defend themselves. When people ask why we talk so much about war and crisis today,the answer is that it isn't about creating war hysteria. It's about creating preparedness"

"The Dutch Government has decided to host not only the preparatory phase but also the full operational phase of the Special Tribunal on the crime of Russian aggression against Ukraine on its territory." lsm.reco.ebu.io/index.html?p...

This is absolutely mind imploding stuff. The Tivoli - much loved local theatre in Wimborne - hosted Katie Hopkins and caused a lot of local anger, leading to a large demonstration when Hopkins did her event. But instead of learning any lessons... they have rebooked her 1/4

You know what's what when a British 'scholar' agrees with sanctioned russian propagandists.

This is a reminder that the russians are committing real genocide and settler colonialism in occupied Ukraine,where the Ukrainian population is being replaced with russians and Ukrainian children are being kidnapped and forcefully re-educated in russian families (sources: @choucroute_67,@roksolana)

💔 2 killed and 21 injured in Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia, — OVA. Among the injured are two children: a 12-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, three in serious condition.

RT's editor-in-chief says it's paranoid to think a Russian programme is propaganda. Glad she's cleared that up for us.

Having read Vladimir Bukovsky, now I can easily recognize this as the umpteenth Russian Propaganda playbook ever since at least 1917 ... www.soviethistorylessons.com/bukovsky-pea... ** always thanks to @retiredunionprez.bsky.social and @ukrainecampaign.bsky.social for sharing this text ...

Kyiv’s death toll from Russia’s mass attack has risen to 25, city authorities said. In Darnytskyi district, rescuers are still working at one of the destroyed sites, where 5 bodies have already been recovered and 8 people remain missing. Search and rescue operations continue without pause. #Ukraine

Putin apologists and the wilfully naïve say that the fact Russia is bogged down in Ukraine proves they are not a threat to the rest of Europe. On the contrary, what the full scale invasion of Ukraine proves is that thr Putin regime is reckless, foolhardy, and dangerous.

Russia's strategy has changed remarkably little. Long-range missiles, Shahed drones and sustained attacks on Ukrainian cities remain central to its campaign. Kyiv bore the brunt of Russia's latest overnight assault. open.substack.com/pub/shaunpin...

⚡️Update: 8 killed, at least 34 injured in ongoing attack on Kyiv. "The enemy is once again targeting residential areas and killing civilians. We have very serious destruction and a significant number of victims, including children," Kyiv City Military Administration Head Tymur Tkachenko said.

⚡️Kyiv, Bucharest open direct line of communication after Russian drone struck Romania. Ukraine and Romania have opened a direct line of communication in an effort to prevent future drone incursions into the country, Romanian President Nicusor Dan told outlet News Ro on June 30.

@theguardian.com your habit of publishing russia-appeasement op-eds during the biggest European war since WWII is why I cancelled my subscription

The coordinator of our Amsterdam volunteer group is Russian. This is what he has to say about the 30,000+ Russians living in NL.

🤬 Russians hit a missile at people vacationing on a river near Kharkiv. The attack resulted in 1 death and 7 injuries, — Kharkiv OVA.

🚨 Russia strikes Zaporizhzhia: there are dead and wounded A massive airstrike on Zaporizhia killed 2 people, injured 17 others, including 2 children. Rescuers pulled a woman and a child out of the rubble. According to preliminary data, one more person may be trapped under the rubble.

😄🤡 So… Overall: Putin has imposed a ban on the export of gasoline and kerosene. He also said he was considering a complete ban on the export of diesel fuel. He admitted to a fuel shortage due to attacks on Russian refineries.

Hannah Arendt warned us about such people

Russian occupiers are sharing their "Crimean vibes," slowly starting to resemble something out of an apocalypse movie.

Social media channels are flooded with examples of long lines anywhere in Russia. This is Chita, Zabaykalsky region, which is more than 5,000 km (3,200 miles) from the Ukrainian border. It looks like a collapse in fuel distribution. Especially trucks are paralyzed.

This is what imperialists always do. They claim to love their country. They feed its people into the machine.

Amazing, Alexander Lunin who was threatening revolution just yesterday has been promptly invited to the Kremlin. Still believe it is not staged? 😀😀😀😀

The relentless attacks on Zaporizhzhia continue this evening. In the last couple of minutes, another aerial bomb has hit the region. At least two people have been injured in strikes before this. Here, a fire broke out at an "industrial enterprises." #StopRussia

KRAKEN commander Kostyantyn Nemichev said Ukraine’s defense line on the Belarus border is ready. If Russia and Belarus move toward Ukraine, he said Ukrainian drones and infantry will destroy the columns and Ukraine will be free to strike Belarus decision-making centers. #Ukraine

When one of the loudest pro-russian voices in the US praises DSA member Darializa Avila Chevalier for her anti-Ukraine/pro-russia stance, it is akin to her receiving a seal of approval for her fervent support of russian imperialism in politics. Or, as he puts it, 'left-wing dissent on Ukraine'.

100%. There can be absolutely no freezing of the line of conflict - this will strategically benefit Russia and harm Ukraine. The ONLY way Russia's war against Ukraine should end is in Moscow's humiliating military defeat. THIS is the only path to a just and enduring peace.

Ukrainian air defense just shot down Zircon missile over Kyiv !!

I encourage them to swallow. It’s the manly thing to do.

Ufa in Bashkortostan, yet a republic in Russia, is around 1,500 km (900 miles) from the Ukrainian border. It hosts three large refineries: - Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim - Bashneft-Novoil - Bashneft-UNPZ From what I can see so far two out of those three refineries were struck.

UK planning to auction oil from detained Russian “shadow fleet” tanker Smyrtos to benefit Ukraine The proceeds from the sale of the 98,000 metric tons of Urals crude, valued at £35 million, could help fund Kyiv's war effort, according to a report by @telegraph.co.uk.

Macron announced that the French Navy has detained a russian shadow fleet tanker in the Mediterranean Sea near Sicily. P.S. Who choose that soundtrack? 🤌😁

For shame: the @economist.com gives a platform to Alex Bruesewitz, promoter of the racist conspiracy that Haitians eat cats and dogs, one of Ali Alexander's Stop the Steal crew who tried to overturn US democracy. Media outlets that try to rehab propagandists instead sink to their level. 1/
