I don't translate this, but this cover photo from the Dnipro mayor’s FB page is quite telling. The city is experiencing yet another blackout following another Russian attack.

If you missed this, the list of international organisations the US is about to withdraw from, following Trump's Executive Order. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 🙃 P.S. International Law Commission, I will miss you.

Maybe Dmitriev (Putin) did not show enough respect

This is our hemisphere — original vs. copy.

Zelensky has appointed Budanov his new Chief of Staff "- Kyrylo Oleksiiovych, I want to offer you... - Thank you, I have already received the report."

Happy New Year’s reading. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Ok. In what field will Trump be awarded the Israel Prize? My bet is on Dancing.

Okey then

🔴 Russia claims the '91 UAVs that attacked Putin's residence in Novgorod region on the night of December 28 to 29.' 🔴 Russian MOD morning report stats '89 UAVs were intercepted over Russia on the night of December 28 to 29, including 18 in Novgorod region'. 🔴 One of these statements must be a lie.

Great Russian culture in a nutshell

Counteracting corruption is obviously essential. But when the EU-funded NGO “Anti-Corruption Action Center” calls for the kidnapping of an Israeli citizen, it is not good. When this organisation repeatedly emphasizes Mindich’s nationality and encourages antisemitic comments, it is even worse.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Щасливого Різдва!

Historical fact: Nazis did not have Hitler-class battleships.

To make a long story short: 1) FSB selected Witkoff as the lead US negotiator for the appointment. 2) Then, Putin and Dmitriev briefed him about the Russo-Ukrainian war and the Russian goals he should help achieve.

It's quite a telling photo from Odesa amidst Russian attacks and blackouts. Light always overcomes darkness. Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate!

That feeling when you have counted more than ten ballistic & cruise missile explosions in just several hours

To illustrate the Russian demands for the Ukrainian-controlled territories. 🔸In 3 years and 8 months, the Russian army made 45 km from Avdiivka to Pokrovsk. 🔸A snail would have reached Vienna in the same amount of time.

A new Romanian right-wing parliamentary group, PACE–Romania First, seems to have copied the logo of the Polish Konfederacja with minor changes. Dudes didn't realize that the logo replicates the outline of Poland. Or maybe Moscow is running out of their far-right brand book.

Not long ago, these people sent traveling circuses around the world to teach others about democracy and the rule of law.

It seems that a real peace deal can only be made at the Bandera—Putin summit. If Trump also attends, it may be helpful.

Where in the US Code can I find a statutory basis of the position "the son-in-law of the president of the United States"? Asking for a friend.

They say two crude oil tankers of the Russian “Shadow fleet”—VIRAT (IMO 9832559) and KAIROS (IMO 9236004)—suffered explosions in the Black Sea north of the Bosporus. gcaptain.com/flagless-tan...

It seems we may get Tomahawks. On the receiving end.

Ok. Is he that stupid, or that cynical, or both?

This new US “peace” plan shows that Trump is blowing not just Bubba.

Firstly, this is beautiful—footage by the Ukrainian Air Force.

On November 1, 1918, the Ukrainian uprising in Lviv started, leading to the creation of the West Ukrainian People's Republic.

The aims of the Special Military Operation are almost achieved.

🔴 Ordinary Russian people aimed a drone at the kindergarten in Kharkiv. 🔴 The building’s second floor has collapsed. 🔴 Luckily, 48 (forty-eight) small children were fast enough to run to the basement “bomb-shelter” just before the strike.

—Are you selling Tomahawks? —No, I'm just showing them off. —Gorgeous.

Scholarly stuff

Shrinking, bloody jerks?

Do they get their Horst Wessel?

To whom it may concern

Росіяни - це нація-сарана.

The Ukrainian Postal Service usually delivers pensions to rural areas. Today, Russian forces dropped a bomb on a postal vehicle in the village of Yarova in the Donetsk region, killing more than twenty locals who had come to collect their pensions.
