🇺🇦Alexandrovsky direction: The situation on this front is developing in our favor by repelling the enemy before they have time to deploy into something serious. The key moment is played by aviation, strikes on the area of Krasnogorsky and west of Novomikolayevka disrupted the very logic of their

🇺🇦Kostiantynivka direction: The enemy is switching to combined pressure not only with fire, but also with psychological tactics. In the area of Dovga Balka, leaflets with calls for surrender are being distributed. This is a typical indicator of preparations for intensified activity in the area -

🇺🇦Gulyaypole direction: The situation in the Ternuvatoy area is entering a critical phase. The northern approach is effectively blocked, and the enemy has densely covered the area with fiber-optic FPV control, operating like a scalpel: any equipment or reinforcements are caught on the approaches

Right on point.

Day 508 of uninterrupted protests in 8+ cities in Georgia.

With Radev's win in Bulgaria, imo, we'll see something new at the EU level-- advocacy for pro-Ru positions not from a euroskeptic position a la Orban/AfD/RN but from an ostensibly pro-EU position: Europe should abandon Ukr and go back to cheap Ru energy to be stronger and strategically autonomous.

The Palentir statement on its desired “Technological Republic” is one of the scariest things I have seen in a while. It is a call for a world dominated by an authoritarian U.S., generated by AI (both the statement and the world), run by tech-surveillance companies. Technofascism pure!

Sometimes I look into the eyes of soldiers, and it says everything about the hell they are going through… Whenever I am in Ukraine and see soldiers, I always try to thank them with sign language. Sometimes I see so much pain in their eyes that I want to cry 💔

WTF? Do all these 🤡s who jerk off to the USSR know how many millions of people Russians killed in the USSR? More than the Nazis…

🇫🇮🇺🇦 Finnish President Stubb said that Ukraine should not be left out of NATO, given its unique combat experience and development of military technologies. Ukraine is demonstrating significant successes, in particular in the use of drones, and its experience is already being applied abroad.

All my lousy jokes aside. Let me be serious for once. People say “russia will negotiate when the costs outweigh the benefits”. I doubt it. 1: This war is already a disaster for russia. (But it’s not communicated to putin, they say. Come on! He ain’t THAT stupid!) 2: putin is more afraid of peace

One of the key ways of suppressing the people has been the nighttime gatherings of regime supporters ever since the war began. We now realise that they were recently being paid for it, based on their contributions. After the recent events, many of them have threatened to leave the streets.
