Today, Izium in the Kharkiv region marks its liberation day from Russian occupation. ​Four years ago, the Ukrainian flag was raised here once again, and almost immediately, mass graves were discovered, hidden in the pine forest in the hope that they would be overlooked and forgotten.

Time in russian captivity works against human life. Over 90% of released Ukrainian prisoners of war and illegally detained civilians report torture, sexual violence, or other forms of ill-treatment.

The champion of the 2026 Winter Games was Ukrainian Olympian Vladyslav Heraskevych. He remembered athletes killed by Russia and was persecuted by the International Olympic Committee. The villain was IOC head Kirsty Coventry, whose corruption and venality will live in infamy.

Brittney Shki-Giiziz, Canadian volunteer in Ukraine: My first day fighting was absolutely excellent. I destroyed a train station with a tank. Being at war was physically easier than the training the Canadian Army puts us through. It prepared me very well for war. 1/

Europe is still clinging to the fairytale of “good russians.” Still pretending it’s “putin’s war,” not russia’s. While russians kill Ukrainians, other russians compete as “neutral athletes” at the Olympics. That’s denial, cowardice, and moral rot. #UkrainianView

russia is committing genocide against Ukrainians — and the world still hesitates to name it.

After Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and certainly after it began a genocide of Jews in 1941, no one said we should "establish relations" with the Nazis. After fascist Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and began a genocide of Ukrainians in 2022, it is unacceptable to be saying what Merz said.

German Chancellor Merz called Russia a "European country" and said it is necessary to establish relations with it. On the contrary, Russia is Eurasian and not a country at all. Russia is a decrepit empire, a terrorist entity and a crime syndicate. It is necessary to destroy it.

🇫🇷President Emmanuel Macron on French leadership role in Ukraine: "Where Ukraine was overwhelmingly dependent on American intelligence capabilities a year ago, today two-thirds are provided by France. Two-thirds."

A short THREAD on russian attacks on Kyiv energy infrastructure: 1) russia sees cold weather as weapon and ally against Ukrainian civilians. russia's goal each winter was: bomb out Ukraine's energy infrastructure and force Ukraine to capitulate or at least provoke unrests. 1/x

Targeting ambulances rushing to save people left freezing by russia's previous terrorist attacks is a matryoshka of terror and murder. And this crime against humanity goes on and on — completely unpunished, observed live. Everyone who supports russia is complicit. Photo via Grnt.

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

If we end up in a large European war, it will be somewhat funny to write the story of how we sleepwalked into it. How many people preferred to obsessively ramble about "trans women in bathrooms" as the supposedly most important issue at hand, while the Russian threat so obviously kept growing.

This is not true at all. Russia is far more Muslim than most of Europe and North America, and that has nothing to do with why people hate Russia. People hate Russia because it is an imperialist dictatorship that invades, rapes, and commits genocide against its neighbors

On Christmas Day, russian terrorists are conducting airstrikes on Ukraine using attack UAVs, right up to the Polish border. It’s been 11 years, 10 months, 5 days since the russians invaded Ukraine. Other Western democracies still refuse to shelter the skies or fight the aggressors.

This Christmas Eve, remember Ukraine. Darkness, empty chairs, voices gone forever — this is not fate. So many beautiful lives were taken, not by time, but by Russia’s war.

This feels like three lives ago: the Christmas tree in Kyiv shone so brightly in 2021. Terrorussia may cut the lights in our homes, but the real source of light and power in Ukraine remains our people. #makerussiapay Photo Krasen Kyiv twitter.

I wrote this 3 years ago today. Nothing I have seen since has changed my mind. But it will, of course, not happen. We will NOT defeat Putin - western politicians just want this war 'to go away.' It will - eventually - but as long as Putin stays in power, it will never 'go away' for long.....1/2

The Russian propagandists who whine about how horrible this war is enrage me the most. You dont get to start a war and then complain about horrible the war you started is. Its not that I find your suffering irrelevant, I just believe you deserve every bit of it.

As if leaving me with another submarine that now can't sink, to go with all the ships that now don't float, the Ukrainians even hacked our surveillance cameras so we filmed their attack for them.

You can do so now. www.volunteeringukraine.com/en/volunteer... But I like your wish anyway.

That's not actually true. It means a great deal to the Ukrainians already living in the occupied territories. The stories I've heard coming out from those regions are harrowing. Genocide on a massive scale.

99.9% of russians are imperіаІіsts, you can’t change it. The only possibility to change russia is external control and re-education of young generations. Else it is impossible, they will never give up their tеrrоrіst mentality.

Donald Trump had betrayed America and its allies. It was supported by a vast amount of the American people. It is unforgivable and will take decades to repair. If ever.

claireberlinski.substack.com/p/the-gift-o... One of the best pieces i read about the problems with Russia.

German foreign policy and security expert and member of the German parliament Roderich Kiesewetter issued another stark warning, this time regarding the latest US National Security Strategy (NSS) document. This is his statement: (1/11)

‼️ About 3 more explosions in Pechenihy. Ballistic strikes are being carried out right now. 2 Russian drones are hanging around the dam area and are carefully adjusting the strikes.

Ah, I appear to have once again written my op-ed for the Independent about Europe needing to be ready to face Russia without the support of the United States. It's getting harder and harder to find different words to say it each time. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

‼️ Chornobyl protective shield can no longer perform key safety function after drone strike, UN says

On the night of December 4-5, russian terrorists attacked Europe's towns and cities with 137 strike UAVs. Ukrainian defenders shot down or suppressed 80 enemy drones. NATO forces did nothing. infographic: Air Force Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The Moscow empire is waging a genocidal war of aggression against Ukraine. India supports Moscow imperialism. The Moscow empire is a brutal colonizer of the Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar peoples. India supports Moscow colonialism. India denies the right of self-determination.

Underrated post

russia’s ‘Dr Evil’ charged by #Ukraine over savage torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war russia has systematically tortured Ukrainian POWs in most places of imprisonment. In Mordovian Prison Colony No. 10, however, the most notorious torturer was a medical worker khpg.org/en/1608815322

The worst and most compromised negotiators of the 21st century

As much as I loathe Chamberlain for Munich, even he would be embarrassed and appalled by the US kowtowing to Putin.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBzA... The corruption and disregard for all morals is staggering. Europe should stop treating the US as a normal partner anymore. Getting independent in all areas should be top 2 priority (after making sure Ukraine wins).

“Russian President Vladimir Putin has underlined his true intentions by issuing a presidential decree calling for an escalation in efforts to eradicate all traces of Ukrainian identity from the approximately 20% of Ukraine currently under Kremlin control.” www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrain...

Wild how people like this, just like russians, still can’t comprehend that the Revolution of Dignity wasn’t staged. It was Ukrainians choosing freedom over fear. Imperialists and small minds always assume someone else must be pulling the strings, because they’ve never seen a nation with a spine.

There is NO victory for Ukraine by negotiation. There is only ONE path to victory & peace: Russia's total crushing military and political defeat and the disintegration of the Russian Federation. Everything else is illusion. This is necessary for peace and security for UA *and* the entire free world.
