The Hill published an article titled “Xi Jinping is waging a proxy war against Trump in Ukraine,” which calls a spade a spade: Russia's war against Ukraine is not just a conflict between two countries. It is the front line of the latest Cold War, in which China is using the…
Yulia "Evita Peron" Tymoshenko, leader of the party All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland", and Yuriy Boyko, leader of the pro-russian party "Platform for Life and Peace". Their MPs voted for the law 12414, ending the independence of the anti-corruption agencies.
Terrorist russia attacked Vodianske with KABs! No info about eventual civilian casualties, hopefully none! These motherfckin monsters will destroy everything and kill everyone just to put their claws on Ukraine 😡! @IntlCrimCourt #RussiaIsATerroristState #TrumpIsARussianAsset

Many people are telling me that just because I urged a much more nuanced approach to the NABU scandal, I “don’t know about things in Ukraine.” Wrong assumption. Oh but I do. I know about the scandals and the accusations. I just never write about them. Why? An explanation. ⬇️
Compelling call to learn from the past and avoid repeating the same mistakes with devastating consequences. thinkglobalhealth.org/article/long-f…
Все ж варто депутатам нагадати. Якщо прийдуть росіяни, ваші будинки, дачі, котеджі ви не вивезете в Європу. Якщо ми програємо в них поселяться чергові Мотороли і Гіві. Не вірите? Запитайте у донеччан, вони розкажуть як це сталось у 2014му, коли донецькі депутати теж думали…
How many more deaths do you need before you stop accusing people of faking their illnesses? “I was accused of fabricating Maeve’s symptoms right up to the point in which she died.”
Clip Sarah Boothby on todays BBC Breakfast segment on the UK government's new #MECFS Delivery Plan “I was accused of fabricating Maeve’s symptoms right up to the point in which she died. Two days before she died, we were subject to safeguarding investigations.”
I hold steadfast. And I see that Russia, terrified of a power alliance between the USA and Ukraine, is doing everything it can, with its limited intelligence but big money, to prevent American and Ukrainian cooperation.
I have a deep and abiding love for the Ukrainian people. I’ve watched so many ordinary people display extraordinary courage, kindness, and hope. I’ve witnessed acts of sacrifice so raw and love so fierce they border on the savage. I’ve seen triumph and tragedy, victory and…
The dismantling of anti-corruption safeguards in Ukraine has sparked talk of Ukraine “losing the peace,” whatever happens in the war. But this framing misses something crucial: Putin’s theory of victory is to pressure Ukraine until it irreversibly poisons its own politics.
We will Change, or we will die! Lviv says. Do you hear? @ZelenskyyUa

False. The Ukraine conflict began in 2014, with the unlawful annexation of Crimea. The hoax did mislead a large swath of the American people and desensitized them to any notion of Russian malfeasance. Reminder - President Trump sent javelins to Ukraine. Obama sent blankets.
True. The Russia hoax didn’t just mislead the US public — it shut down diplomatic dialogue with Russia and helped pave the way for the Ukraine conflict. Let’s see what, if anything, happens next.
Ukrainians will not be pushed around by the agents at the top:
People are beginning to gather in #Kyiv for a protest against @ZelenskyyUa's arbitrariness in depriving the independence of the anti-corruption bodies #NABU and #SAP.
ПОВНИЙ РЕВАНШ. Завершено. Помоліться за упокой незалежної України. Це не песимизм. Це - РЕАЛЬНІСТЬ.
Brilliant short thread about why so many in the West get Russia all wrong: must read
Why do some in the West get Russia so wrong? I mean: fundamentally wrong. And not just average people who have other jobs, but the very people whose job it is to gather intelligence and make sense of it, like Isa Yusibov mentioned: x.com/Isa_Yusibov/st… Why is this? 1/
The basic error in the West is that they attribute rationality to Kremlin leaders. They're wrong. Kremlin leaders can perfectly _MIMIC_ rational thought, but that's not the same. Their lead ideology is imperialism and their modus operandi is sabotage, bluff and opportunism. 2/
Ukraine Parliament plans to eliminate independence of anti-corruption bodies today, - media Is Zelensky eliminating democracy? censor.net/ua/n3564570
Зеленський хоче остаточно знищити НАБУ та САП як помсту за підозри своїм друзям та повернути Україну в часи Януковича та Пшонки. Сьогодні вранці депутати Зеленського від правоохоронного комітету під проводом Максима Бужанського “в тиху” провели через правоохоронний комітет…
