BREAKING -- Russian Volunteer Corps commander alive! Ukraine's military intelligence staged Denis Kapustin's death for over a month. They didn't just fool Russian spies — they collected $500k hit fee the Kremlin put on his head

Happy New Year 2026! Ukraine will be providing the fireworks in Russia tonight.

❗️🇺🇸 Trump considered Russia strong and “invincible,” but did nothing, even threatening sanctions. The only person who disputed this was special envoy Keith Kellogg, who supported Ukraine and called the war existential, - NYT. Trump called Kellogg an “idiot”, replacing him with Witkoff.

There are three pathways to peace in Ukraine: a just peace through Russian defeat, an unjust peace through compromise, and genocidal occupation euphemistically called peace through Ukrainian surrender. Ukraine is working towards the first goal, Europe for the second, Trump for the third.

something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore

🇺🇸 Trump: Putin wants Ukraine to succeed. And Zelensky’s reaction…

This pretty much tells you everything you need to know about America.

On Christmas Day, russian terrorists are conducting airstrikes on Ukraine using attack UAVs, right up to the Polish border. It’s been 11 years, 10 months, 5 days since the russians invaded Ukraine. Other Western democracies still refuse to shelter the skies or fight the aggressors.

👮🇺🇦 Howard Buffett visited the suburbs of Kupyansk and saw the evacuation of residents with his own eyes The National Police reported that the American philanthropist, together with the special police unit "White Angel", visited the front-line territories of the suburbs of Kupyansk.

So-called peace plans are an illusion, because russia has no intention of ending the war, and Trump’s diplomacy has turned into a theater of the absurd.

Ukrainian soldiers say the most effective defense against fiber-optic FPV drones remains the combo of a “Safari” shotgun and the “Ptashka” net launcher. If the drone survives buckshot, it’s caught by a 4x4m net fired up to 30m.

Some useful background on the "national security" lie peddled by US officials regarding certain wind farms.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan has earned a reputation as an eager Trump supporter, with prayer appearances at both of the president’s inaugurations.

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.

I think I want to start a company , - call it Retal. And everytime a right winger throws out a threat, or plants a bomb. A retaliation happens. Doesnt have to be the actual guy. We just return the favor to any random MAGA. Like when they burned the governors home - just burn one of theirs - Any one

‼️16 km² of the northern part of Pokrovsk returned to the control of Ukraine by the Armed Forces in a few weeks, — Syrskyi Active actions continue in the area of ​​the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration. Logistics in Myrnohrad is complicated, but it is ongoing.

What is a “ruzzian success”? Let me explain. If a snail started crawling westward in Feb 2022, it would have reached Vienne by now. The “world’s second army” reached a tiny town of Pokrovsk, about 25 miles from the Donietsk outskirts.

Ukrainian forces blocked Russian troops in Kupyansk and cleared the city's entire northwestern outskirts, with operations continuing to eliminate remaining enemy enclaves in the central area, DeepState reports.

All the threats from Trump and his henchmen to Republican state senators in Indiana failed. Mid-decade gerrymandering rejected. This is no small thing. Maybe some other Republicans will finally start to stand up to the Mob Boss.

Whoa! I did not have Indiana voting against anything Trump on my dance card. 😂🤣 www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

The US government is now a mafia organization.

👀 Syrskyi: Our strategy is to exhaust the Russian army as much as possible, prevent its advance, hold our territory, while simultaneously striking the enemy in the near rear, in operational depth and... deep into Russia itself, in order to undermine its defense capabilities and industrial potential.

For months, winter fog blinded Ukraine's drones. Russian commanders learned to exploit it. At Myrnohrad, something changed. The 40th Naval Infantry lost 11 vehicles in one assault—despite the haze. euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/04/t...

Ex-Ukrenergo CEO Volodymyr Kudrytskyi argues that corruption—not just Russian strikes—exacerbated Ukraine’s blackout risks. Mindichgate, he says, exposed a system built for kickbacks. “Want fewer blackouts? First, stop stealing.” euromaidanpress.com/2025/12/04/s...

Did someone* try to assassinate Zelensky with drones targeting his flight to Dublin? Because flying four large drones into the expected flight path (the plane was early) looks like an assassination attempt. *Yes, obviously Russia is the likely suspect, but not literally the only possibility.

The times shape the pets we have. In Ukraine, it's robot dogs.

Putin: ‘Russia is ready to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian dies.’ Western politicians & press: ‘Peace talks have stalled…’ Russia has zero interest in peace. Calling Kremlin demands for Ukrainian surrender ‘peace talks’ is just another way of spreading their propaganda.

A new mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children killed in Russia’s attack. The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”
