Anyone saying "Ukraine has lost the war" is a Russian stooge who is wishcasting and gaslighting. The manipulation aims to justify why Trump and Russia are jointly pressuring Ukraine to capitulate even though the frontline situation doesn't call for it. Russia is NOT advancing!
The ICC must be free to pursue its mission, independently, and without pressure or intimidation.
Europe stands firmly behind President Tomoko Akane, the Court's judges and officials, and their vital work for a world governed by rules.
Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy.

To honor all the newly appointed Ukraine experts who say Ukraine is doomed, I want to present you this legendary take.
It was really a mainstream belief in 2022 that it is over for Ukraine.
5 years later, we still stand, take ground, destroy targets 2000km deep into Russia 😎
🇩🇰Denmark’s PM Mette Frederiksen:
Russia unfortunately does not want peace with us. Therefore, we have to continue rearming ourselves.
Russia wants to take over parts of Europe. They are willing to go very far to achieve that. When you buy from the Russians, you finance the Russian war machine.
In an interview with Piers Morgan, Zelensky said of Ukraine's relations with the US: "It is a pity that we are losing a strong partner."
Zelensky also called the restrictions on Starlink's operation for Ukraine "a big mistake." He stated that this decision would lead to human losses.
The Putin-Trump diesel deal is disastrous and illegal — but it is also a sign of the desperation of both men, one fearing to lose a war, the other to lose an election.
And I hope with all my heart that this book will resonate with everyone who wants to understand Ukraine's historical journey and national soul, and why it is fighting so fiercely for its freedom and identity today.

The Trump administration threatened senior Ukrainian officials with a total cutoff of U.S. intelligence sharing and access to the Europe-led PURL weaponry scheme if Kyiv strikes Russian energy infrastructure, sources told the Kyiv Independent.
Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.
Zelenskyy warned that allowing Russia to sell millions of tons of diesel to global markets would help fund its war against Ukraine, responding to Trump’s announcement of the proposed deal.
“Gifts to Putin will not bring peace,” Zelenskyy said.

If you’re curious and wondering what Putin said in Valdai, don’t waste your time. He spouted his usual nonsense and lies about how russia never attacked anyone and is the kindest, humblest nation in history, always victimized and threatened by its nefarious European neighbours.
Nestlé, Auchan, and Metro chose to stay in Russia, funding its war in Ukraine through taxes, only to have their assets confiscated in the end. What a tragic and pointless waste of reputation and human lives.
⚡Russian missiles strike Kyiv educational facility in overnight attacks
Multiple missiles struck Kyiv overnight on Sept. 29 amid a multi-day attack by Russian forces on the capital.
While some of Ukraine's allies attempt to prevent Ukraine from harming the Russian oil revenue that makes the Kremlin's wars possible, here are the streets of Kyiv, where hospitals are bombed and rescuers try to save victims of Russian terror.
Russian strikes are incoming from all sides onto #Kyiv, in broad daylight.
Markets, gas stations, a hospital, office, kindergartens, residential buildings.
Russian scum cannot push through on the front line, so they are staging genocide in Ukrainian cities.
💔🇺🇦 Zelensky: Emergency services continue to work in Kyiv, at the site of a direct hit on the Academy of Sciences building.
1 person has died and six others have been injured, including three children. This afternoon, the Russians also struck a medical facility in the center of the capital.
🇺🇦 Budanov on the expansion of Russian aggression: We must put them in their place.
"This has happened more than once in the world. And every time the aggressor was not put in his place, his appetites only grew," he said.
"They are moving on to threats to other Western countries, not only Ukraine."
🇺🇦‼️ People in Oleshky cannot survive on statements of concern alone, - Sybiha
The international community must mobilize all available tools to reach people in Oleshky, deliver humanitarian aid and ensure the safe evacuation of those who want to leave.
🇺🇦 Zelensky: Russians are not preparing to stop the war. At least not now. Putin constantly finds some excuse not to meet, not to do a trilateral format, not to end and stop these killings.
He has had the same thing for years, and all our partners feel it. He is looking for excuses to wage war.
🇫🇷🇺🇦 Macron acknowledged that the strikes on Russian refineries "have an impact" on prices, but recalled that the price increase is primarily caused by the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, — AFP.
🇺🇦 Cultural Diplomacy: How Ukraine Should Tell Its (Hi)story to the World
To understand the true roots of Ukraine’s resistance, the world must look through its history and discover stories of inspiration, empathy, and shared human values.

The Europeans who now say they love their country but wouldn’t die defending it because you only live once are naive. They think they’ll love their life in Russian Europe as much as their current life. They have no idea that Ru occupation means rape, murder, expropriation, and daily humiliation.
Ukrainian drones paid a visit to Moscow and the Moscow region today.
The attack reportedly involved FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000, Palianytsia, Vendetta, Liutyi, Bars, Flamingo, Sichen, and Pelican. Many Ukrainian units worked hard to make this attack a reality.
⚡️ "Stop calling it hybrid. We are under attack,"
Latvian MEP Rihards Kols urged the European Parliament, listing acts of Russian sabotage across Europe and demanding decisive action against Moscow's networks.
Obviously,those who are convincing President Trump that fuel prices can be brought down quickly by forcing Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil refineries are either demonstrating their ignorance or deliberately leading Republicans toward electoral defeat
Fuel prices are already hurting Republicans
"Russia is already at war with Europe. It may not look like the war in Ukraine yet, but what they're doing is reckless and very dangerous." - Gen. Ben Hodges, former commander of U.S. Army Europe
KALLAS: We need to restrict visas for Russians. It is not okay that Russia is bombing Ukraine, killing civilians while Russians are entering EU, and enjoying our hospitality. These tourist visas are also a tool used for acts of sabotage. This is a matter of our security as well.
PETRAEUS: Britain's response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine provides particularly powerful example. From late 2021 onward, UK demonstrated strategic clarity.
Your leaders publicly recognized the nature of Russian threat earlier than most,
“Let’s de-escalate/do better diplomacy/talk more” w Russia are euphemisms for “let’s surrender to Russia’s utterly unreasonable demands”. There is nothing reasonable or short of that which hasn’t been tried already. Don’t give such manipulations any credence.
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Putin that every day of war pushes humanity backward and that military action must end. At the same time, India continues buying Russian crude on a massive scale, which Western critics argue provides Moscow with substantial wartime revenue. #Russia
SNYDER: What we did in Iran is just humiliated ourselves, and wasted bunch of stuff. We’ve fired so many munitions at Iran, that if we had just given them to Ukrainians, they wouldn't only have defended civilians, but that war could've been over, and the right side could've won.
Elections are not an option for us today, either legally or from the standpoint of common sense and fairness. But it will be very useful if Zelensky and his people get a kick up the ass every now and then and are reminded that there are limits to what they are allowed to do in this country.
For many westerners democracy is a foreign concept, the idea of self determination and civic duty and what that entails or looks like eludes them. When democracy works so well you forget how to practice it then your life is too comfortable. Ukraine and many states under threat have not forgotten.
