America has gotten itself mired in an illegal war with Iran, and is supporting Russia's illegal war with Ukraine trying to get itself unstuck.

This Wednesday:

The reason it is good for public bodies to fly the Ukrainian flag is because it is good to support Ukraine and the tiny minority of UK citizens who do not agree with it are bad people whose opinion does not matter.

Bought and sold for Kremlin gold What a parcel of rogues in a "party"

It hurts to watch. Four years of russian captivity mean decades of aging: Ukrainian marine and Mariupol defender Mykhailo Katsaval is finally home. russian prisons are hell. russian occupation is not peace. russia's impunity only leads to more wars — and bigger ones.

Settler colonialism.

🕯️ Russian attack on Kyiv kills daughter of fallen defender. Liubava Yakovlieva, a sixth-grade student at Lyceum No. 323, died during yesterday's Russian strike on an apartment building, which also left her sister trapped under rubble three years after their father, Yevhen, was killed in action.

Russia attacked UN vehicles delivering humanitarian aid in Kherson.

Overnight and into the morning, Ukraine came under a massive combined russian attack. In Kyiv, one person was killed and at least 33 injured, including a one-month-old baby who suffered carbon monoxide poisoning. Rescue workers are still clearing the rubble. 📷Yan Dobronosv

It is notable that one of the most pronounced differences between Ukraine and the USA is that while both have corruption problems, the Ukr are investigating theirs up to the highest levels of govt, while the US govt is openly fostering more corruption.

It was a heavy attack. I'm still shaking, even though we spent the entire time in the shelter. russians erased a block of a residential building in Kyiv, w people still trapped under the rubble. I can't comprehend how anyone living safely in the free world could support this.

⚡️ BREAKING: Russian commander orders decapitation of Ukrainian soldiers. Ukraine notified the UN and Red Cross of intercepted orders from a Russian unit to behead two fallen members of Ukraine’s 225th Assault Regiment.

⚡ Russia’s invasion has devastated Ukraine’s heritage with nearly 1,800 cultural sites damaged or destroyed and over $4 billion in direct losses to the nation's heritage. united24media.com/war-in-ukrai...

Make no mistake, this is genocide.

Russia's abduction of Ukrainian children is a crime against humanity. The fact it refuses to give up these children without getting its own cannon fodder in return is an outrage.

For context: ukdefencejournal.org.uk/britain-now-... Now, more than at any point in the past thirty years we need a competent, capable defensive force. Westminster is failing to deliver this.

1/ The Russian ultranationalist community has exploded into a fit of apoplectic rage over Volodymr Zelenskyy's decree 'permitting' Russia to hold its Victory Day parade. They condemn it as a humiliation for Russia and call for maximum retaliation. ⬇️

🔴 Ukraine's 'Frozen' Frontlines Are Shifting Significantly A series of drone attacks on Russian oil facilities by Ukraine been a more significant blow to Putin's war machine than Western sanctions

Among other things, an SNP Government in Holyrood is objectively the best option if you want to prioritise the defence of Europe against Russian aggression. As an independent country under our leadership, Scotland will rejoin the EU and build a defence force fit for a modern nation.

Good luck today and happy voting for everyone today. With the threat of a Reform government in Westminster lurking, we need a party ready, willing, and able to stand up for Scotland and all the people who make this country their home. Now, more than ever, we need an SNP government in Holyrood.

A kindergarten in Sumy has been bombed. Where is the appropriate reaction? Are we just accepting Russian terror as some kind of force of nature now, or what? #RussiaIsATerroristState

The Holodomor Research and Education Consortium has newly assembled an informative free online course on the history of the Holodomor in Ukraine within a global context of famine and genocide. coursera.org/learn/holodo...

Trump again claimed the Biden administration gave Ukraine $350 billion — a figure widely disputed by fact-checkers. He argued that US support prolonged the war and suggested the fighting could have ended without Washington’s backing. www.kyivpost.com/post/75140

⚡️Venice Art Biennale’s jury resigns in protest over Russian, Israeli presence just days before festival starts. The jury's resignation comes just one day after the European Union's culture commissioner announced that he would boycott the Venice Art Biennale over Russia's presence.

In the horrific scenario of a limited nuclear exchange, Faslane would be a priority target, and Scotland would be safer not hosting nuclear weapons. It’s questionable whether the Trident system is sustainable, is reliable and the US, is no longer a dependable partner.

A clear eyed piece that raises many good points. The threats Scotland faces are real. Independence gives us the opportunity to build, from the ground up, a modern defence force that works for Scotland, and incorporates the lessons being learned daily in Ukraine.

1/ One of Israel's largest grain importers has been identified as the customer for 26,000 tons of stolen Ukrainian grain currently aboard the ship Panormitis. Zenziper says it did not know the grain was stolen and is waiting for government instructions. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/savc...

A brilliant take down on how, like many other left-coded grifters, Sheridan has found a comfortable (and presumably lucrative) niche peddling Kremlin propaganda.

Bentley sold 20 cars in Ukraine in 2025. All other claims in this post are just made up digital diarrhea, as well.

⚡️EU warns of sanctions over shipments of stolen Ukrainian grain to Israel "We condemn all actions that help fund Russia's illegal war effort and circumvent EU sanctions, and remain ready to target such actions," a European Commission spokesperson said.

Have YOUR local candidates signed? Ukraine Solidarity Campaign's Five Pledges has recieved support from SNP, Green, and Lib Dem candidates... where are Labour and the Tories? Why are they scared to show their support for Ukraine and Ukrainians?

A stark reminder than Russia's imperialism isn't limited to Europe and Asia

1/ The news that Ukrainian drones are now reaching the Urals – as far away from Ukraine as England – has been met with dismay by Russian warbloggers. They say that Russia's air defence system is chronically disunited and coordinated action is difficult. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/anto...
