Never trust a russian, never trust a yank

A Russian man admitted during an online video chat that Russia deliberately targets Ukrainian civilians.

“The prime minister told The Rest is Politics podcast that upon arriving in No 10, he had asked about possible Russian interference in the 2016 (Brexit) vote, adding: "I've had the clear answer that, yes, there was."”

🤬A russian drone was literally HUNTING a teenager in Kherson, Ukraine. A child running for his life while the drone follows him. His fate is still unknown. This isn’t war. This is terrorism - and the whole world needs to see what russia is doing to Ukrainian children.

The aftermath of the Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia today. 9 people killed, 16 more injured. Ukraine strikes objects that reduce Russia's ability to wage the war. Russia strikes civilians to inflict destruction and grief. There's a big difference.

Oh my God. The death toll of the Russian strike on Zaporizhzhia has already reached 12 people. During the daylight, as people were minding their business... Russia killed them. Our daily news, our daily reality. It's very hard on us Ukrainians.

Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar calls for the UK to rejoin the European Union: "I remember when I was a diplomat in Brussels... We were able to influence decisions. At the time, the Brits were also part of the EU. Let's hope they will rejoin."

These are the Russian Shahed drones that attack Ukraine daily. You can see on the video how large a combat drone really is, compared to a car. Just this last week, Russia used over 3,000 combat drones against Ukrainian cities.

Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

Russia is engineering a migration bomb for Europe. Disinformation on local airwaves in Mali and Niger pushes desperate youth toward deadly routes; Russian paramilitaries guard traffickers in Libya. Endgame? Chaos at EU gates, fractured politics. Europe ignores this at its peril.

PM Tusk on Epstein: it is very likely that this was a planned operation by the Russian KGB. More and more leads are pointing to suspicions that this unprecedented pedophilia scandal was co-organized by Russian intelligence services.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

Whatever Farage says, remember this tweet

These are voices of Russian soldiers confessing to their families about crimes they’ve committed in Ukraine. It’s similar to confessions from Wagner paramilitaries who’ve committed numerous human rights abuses in Africa

Which one is more English?

Yet another horrific video has surfaced online of russians deliberately and cynically murdering two unarmed civilians who tried to walk away from the frontline under a white flag with their dog in the Kharkiv region. White flag. Civilian clothes. No resistance. Just a dog.

Only Russian soldiers can "go home." The Ukrainian Defense Forces are at home. They fight to defend their homes, families, land. When the "Both sides just need to stop the war" statement sounds, this is, in fact, a legitimization of annexation, when an aggressor is made equal with a victim.
