Ukrainian defender Pavlo Shatokhyn, callsign Shakh, defended Mariupol and was captured at the Azovstal. In the russian captivity he was tortured, beaten, starved — he lost 80kg. Terrifying. But "russia has been fine on Ukraine." Photos Suspilne

The humanitarian Putin bombed more civilians today. Maybe Witkoff should spend a couple weeks in Kyiv to see first hand how much of a humanitarian his friend in Moscow is.

After the targeting of civilian infrastructure, hospitals, schools, and apartments; after the kidnapping of thousands of Ukrainian children; after the mass murders and rapes; after the destruction of heritage sites… This venal, retarded freak calls Putin - an indicted war criminal - a HUMANITARIAN!

So the Graham bill is worthless. The loophole I warned about has been exploited. Congress almost sprained an arm patting itself on the back about how tough they were on Russia with this bill that was supposed to cripple the Kremlin’s revenues.

According to the legislation, the President can waive any sanction, restriction, or tariff on any foreign person or country on “national security” grounds.

And all the White House would need to do is provide Congress a written national-interest certification and an explanatory report before issuing the waiver. There would be no congressional vote, no way to reject this waiver, no waiting period, or specification on how long it can last.

‘Russia is not the enemy‘ That's the message of a pro-Kremlin campaign targeting European audiences. Meanwhile, Russian state TV openly threatens Europe, while Moscow's hybrid operations target its infrastructure, institutions and security.

The Russian ultranationalist group Black Rus, which claimed responsibility for an incursion into Latvia, also calls NATO an ‘occupier’. All while confessing to have unlawfully crossed another country’s border. A curious understanding of sovereignty.
