#Zelensky on #OperationSpiderweb:

"The delegation behaved more calmly than before.
But the arrogance... well, it is what it is.
These arrogant people acted a bit more modestly.
Maybe a few more events like this are needed so that everyone will start behaving like decent human beings."

#Ukraine's struggle is a facet of the world's fight against rising #fascism

#Russia and others need to learn due humility

It's our fight too, domestic and international

Note the only methods they understand

#Russia and #Ukraine agreed to continue negotiations in #Istanbul - that’s fascinating news, isn’t it?

Ukraine had just MASSIVELY violated Russia’s so called “red lines”, not one but several of them.

And Russia responded… no, not by using some doomsday weapons. They just sent a delegation which, as participants reported, was behaving almost like regular humans. And then they agreed on the next round!

The only people who were furious and panicked were our own Western “geopolitical experts” who historically always advised to always be kind to Russia, and always give it what it wants.

Can you see a pattern here?

Comment I saw yesterday about #Ukraine's #drones-popping-out-of-trucks brilliant attack on the bombers that have been mass murdering Ukrainian civilians for years (paraphrasing):

"#Russia is going to check every truck, and it will shut down their commerce. They don't even have the personnel for it, they will have to pull from other services, it will be destabilizing"

Video I just saw today:

Good call commenter

#UkraineWar

"This is what happens when a proud nation under attack doesn't listen to all those: 'Ukraine has only six months left'. 'You have no cards'. 'Just surrender for peace, Russia cannot lose'."

… the quarterly Business Ukraine journal, proudly proclaimed 'It turns out Ukraine does have some cards after all. Today Zelensky played the King of Drones.'"

"Von zentralen innen- wie außenpolitischen Forderungen aus dem Wahlkampf (keine neuen #Schulden, keine Reform der #Schuldenbremse, Rückkehr zur #Atomkraft, #Taurus-Lieferungen an die #Ukraine) musste #Merz sich schon verabschieden. Nun aber folgt man auch auf anderen Politikfeldern den viel gescholtenen #Grünen. So verfolgen er und Johann Wadephul, sein Außenminister, gegenüber #Israel genau jene Politik, für die man Annalena #Baerbock oft kritisiert hatte.

"I just want to stop the killing”

That is a sentence, Trump has repeated again and again throughout 2025. But is it true?

Watch my latest analysis of the #Ukraine peace deal that failed, and find out Trump's real reason for helping Vladimir Putin:

melanie_darrigo Don't know who needs to hear this but claiming that you've prevented lots of really bad things from happening to our enemies is another way of saying that you've been aiding our enemies. Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump What Vladimir Putin doesn't realize is that if it weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He's playing with fire!

“ #Russia is building power lines in occupied #Ukraine to link a major nuclear plant it has captured to its own grid, according to a new Greenpeace report. It is the clearest evidence yet of Moscow’s intent to exploit the offline facility.”

No “new agreements” were made in #Germany to lift the range restrictions of Ukraine's missiles, the Vice Chancellor said.

A day earlier, Friedrich Merz stated that Germany, along with #France, the #UK and the #US, no longer has any restrictions on long-range weapons for #Ukraine.

" #Trump envoy relied on Kremlin interpreter in meetings with #Putin to end war in #Ukraine

Using the Kremlin’s interpreter was “a very bad idea” that put Witkoff “at a real disadvantage”: Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to #Russia

Here’s what we are reading today:

#Ukraine is ready to create a 30 km temporary demilitarized zone, Trump's Ukraine envoy said.

The UK-France led "Coalition of the Willing" will control the zone. The #UK recently said that it would not send troops to protect a truce in Ukraine.

#Ukraine attacked #Moscow with drones before Xi's arrival in Moscow for Russia's WWII anniversary.

Moscow's major airports were mostly closed overnight, and Russia's national airline, Aeroflot had it's logistics disrupted and had to adjust it's schedule to deal with the chaos.

French authorities on Wednesday identified nearly 80 Russian disinformation campaigns from August 2023 to March 2025, primarily targeting Ukraine and its allies, including France. Agency Viginum said the "Storm-1516" operation used AI, paid operators, and spread anti-Ukrainian narratives, posing a "significant threat" to Europe's digital debate.

On Russian state TV, Maria Zakharova called the May 9th victory parade: ”Holy”

That’s a tell. Because that’s exactly how it is. THAT IS the real religion of the state of Russia.

They’re hell bent on seeing everything as ”victory over the nazis”, because war is their real religion, and May 9th is the holiest of their holidays.

It’s not christianity they worship, but a death cult. Of sacrifice for the tšar. That’s all there is to it.
#nafo #russia #Zakharova #may9th #ukraine

On this day, May 5 1945 at 08:00, the Nazis surrendered, and the entire population of Denmark celebrated the end of 5 dark years of oppressive Nazi occupation.

Rest assured #Ukraine, one day the modern day Nazis will be out of your country too, and the entire free world will celebrate with you. ♥️

The US State Department approved F-16 fighter-jet training and services for #Ukraine worth up to $350 million, signaling that the White House will keep supporting Kyiv in the fight against #Russia despite Trump’s impatience to end the war.
