Russia will not escape the bill for the homes, schools, and hospitals it has destroyed. Today in The Hague, we take a major step toward accountability by establishing a commission to address claims for Russian war damages. The EU supports its work, including with an initial €1 million contribution

Ukraine’s Counterattack Just Changed the Situation on the Front youtu.be/7azdaZLowh8?...

This all does not matter. Russia is not interested in peace. They had all the offramps possible. They are only looking for surrender that Ukraine will never agree to.

Belgian PM called Ukrainian victory "a fairy tale." Activists brought a blood money Christmas tree to Euroclear's doorstep. € 200 billion in Russian assets sit frozen in Belgium. On 18 December, the EU votes on using them for Ukraine. Belgium wants to block it.

Honsstly whenever I hear ‘western security guarantees ’ i remember Budapest 1994 , and we know how that went.

Christmas tree market against the backdrop of the devastation caused by Russian attacks on Kyiv. We are exhausted,there's no electricity for most of the day in Kyiv.But still,people buy Christmas trees,kids will get presents. Resilience is a skill,we're getting a lot of practice. 📹nststkh

Let's state the facts: Russia is the aggressor. Russia is the criminal. Ukraine is the victim. Ukraine wants peace more than anyone. Security on the continent is important to Europe. There are very nice highways from the Ukrainian border towards Budapest, perfect for Russian tanks.

A historic moment for the Ukrainian Navy: underwater drones “Sub Sea Baby” have, for the first time in history, destroyed a Russian Project 636.3 “Varshavyanka” submarine, neutralizing its missile threat, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reports.

Don't miss this from @nellscovell.bsky.social about Rob Reiner. One of the best reminiscences I've read & one that makes it clear what a uniquely important gift to comedy he was. (I also knew him a little re: politics & there too, he was a gift and a mensch.) www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/how...

Ukrainian defenders inflicted a spectacular blow on the russian fascist invaders. The Security Service of Ukraine used, for the first time, a "Sub Sea Baby" underwater drone to hit a russian Kilo-class submarine docked at Novorossiysk. The enemy vessel was critically damaged.

Zelenskyy SMASHES ‘Capitulation’ Narrative — Solovyov ERUPTS in ENGLISH in Panic Mode youtube.com/watch?v=70sx...

Ah, a man of the people!!

Trump’s FBI plans to investigate those who protest Trump, support immigrants and LGBTQ+ people, and criticize capitalism as DOMESTIC TERRORISTS.

In Odesa, Russia struck a Turkish vessel, which is now burning. Just a few hours earlier, Putin had met with Erdoğan. This is how handshakes with Russia always go.

The Cenk Roro vessel attacked by Russia was en route from Turkey’s Karasu port to Romania. The ship is owned by the Turkish ferry company Cenk Shipping RoRo, which transports trucks and trailers. Photos circulating online suggest the vessel was loaded with lorries at the time.

Reports indicate it was struck by two Iskander-M missiles

The Predator Patrol Police shared grim images of Konstantynivka almost wiped out by Russia, just 20 kilometers from Kramatorsk. Go ahead, zoom in. See what Russians are doing to Ukraine.

BREAKING: Zelenskyy DESTROYS Putin’s Kupyansk Claim — Shows Up There on Camera youtube.com/watch?v=tnIv...

"The Russians kept going on about Kupiansk—reality speaks for itself," he said. "I visited our troops &congratulated them. I thank everyone destroying the occupier" Ukraine's Khartia strike group cut all RU supply lines into the city. Approx 200 Russian soldiers remain—cut off, some surrendering

Putin claimed Ukrainian forces were "surrounded" in Kupiansk. He invited foreign journalists to visit—offered a 5-6 hour ceasefire so they could see the encircled troops safely. Today, Zelenskyy walked in freely.

Trump is pressuring Zelensky to have elections in Ukraine because that is what Putin wants Trump to do. Russia wants Ukraine to have elections in the hope it will be divisive for the country and break Ukraine's unity.

Onderzoek: twee maaltijden die er identiek uitzien, de ene gelabeld als plantaardig, de andere als maaltijd met vlees. Mensen blijken de plantaardig gelabelde maaltijd negatiever te waarderen. Ze vinden het minder mannelijk. Vooral mensen met seksistische ideologie keren zich af van plantaardig.

Ter verduidelijking: actiegroep @ongehoord.bsky.social bestond al vele jaren voordat ON er was – de omroep die het geluid uitzendt dat je continu wél hoort. De échte ongehoorden zijn de dieren die achter gesloten deuren worden mishandeld, voor ons vlees, zuivel, plezier, gemak. Dát is ongehoord.
