Een jaar zonder Alyona en Zhenya.
Vandaag, precies een jaar geleden, op 23 oktober 2025, verloren wij twee heel bijzondere mensen. Onze dierbare vrienden kwamen om het leven bij een Russische droneaanval in Oekraรฏne. Het is nog altijd niet te bevatten dat ze er niet meer zijn.
In todayโs Vatnik Soup, our 400th (!), we introduce the Vatnik Archetype: the recurring character who claims to oppose war while defending invasions, claims to fight imperialism while serving Moscow, and claims to seek truth while repeating the vilest propaganda.
Baby Anhelina and her mom Inna were buried today.
Anhelina's stroller was put into her grave together with her. She was in the stroller when the Russian drone attacked.
Baby Anhelina and her mom Inna were killed by Russia yesterday.
Anhelina was just over a year old. Her mom, Inna Mariukhna, was a primary school teacher. They were in the park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, when a Russian drone attacked.
Little Anhelina was killed in her stroller.
Donald and his cult have yet to connect the trust he has destroyed in the USA by abandoning the USA promise and the trust he is destroying in the promise US dollar offers.
They think this is cost free for them.
Large parts of Kyiv are without electricity, some without water, as well.
From Kyiv, it's impossible to see that "Putin wants peace." We see that he wants to continue and escalate the war. And Ukraine must fight to defend ourselves.
๐บ๐ฆโผ๏ธZelensky: Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv. Again without warning from partners. The main target is energy, namely CHPP-4. Unfortunately, there is hit.
A residential building was also damaged, rescuers are currently extinguishing the fire. CHPP-4 is one of Kyiv's main energy facilities.
In Kharkiv today, murderhappy Russians struck a medical facility, injuring 5 people.
โTrump wants us to stop striking russian oil refineries and let them keep destroying our homes, hospitals, schools, and kindergartens with impunity. He blames us for fighting back against pure terrorism.
Philosopher Levan Ghambashidze (on the right) nailed the psychological articulate of what a Georgian Dream means.

What can I say? Someone who edits @theguardian.com read a draft opinion from Saint @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social calling for "an end to all war" that never even mentioned ours and thought "looks good, nothing missing".
Donโt worry, The Guardian said the National Academy of Sciences โhas longstanding ties to Ukraineโs defence sector,โ so youโre all good โ bombed a military target after all. Big thanks to The Guardian for handing Russia an excuse for the strike.
๐บ๐ฆโ๏ธAt night, the Armed Forces of Ukraine delivered food to residents of occupied Oleshky using drones: the military delivered products to 100 points in the city at once, โ Kherson OVA.
People in Oleshky have no food and are surviving on grass and weeds, a desperate measure that won't even be an option in the winter. Real pressure must be applied to Russia to allow people to evacuate!
๐ณ๐ฑ๐บ๐ฆ Zelensky: I met with the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Rob Jetten, at UN.
I briefed him on the latest talks with the American side and the de-escalation proposals currently on the table.
The Netherlandsโ support โ military, energy, financial โ is truly helping strengthen our positions.
En in Nederland gaan eind deze maand mensen protesteren die vinden dat we onze materiele wapensteun aan Oekraรฏne moeten intrekken. Ze noemen het 'ik kies voor vrede.' Een Orwelliaanse omdraaiing van de werkelijkheid.
Every day, I start my afternoon by reporting Russian attacks: on apartment buildings, private homes, shopping malls, civilian cars, gas stations, first responders, hospitals, civilian infrastructure, trains, buses, markets.
โBy this time, we usually know how many people were killed overnight.
Instead of a thousand words.
A mom is carrying her baby through the destruction in #Kyiv after they spent the night in the shelter, trying to stay safe during a massive Russian attack on the city.

May I predict: Witkoff and Kushner say Putin really wants to stop the war, demand Kyiv to capitulate, Zelenskyy says no, theyโll say โUkraine is being difficultโ.

These are people trying to escape the fire by jumping out of windows after Russia struck a business and shopping center in Lozova, Kharkiv region, todayโผ๏ธ
๐ฏ๏ธ๐๐ฌ๐ช Today we honor our Shindisi Heroes!

All of them were fallen defending our homeland๐

Het vonnis inzake Solvinity is binnen. De eis van het Londense private equity bedrijf Vitruvian Partners en de vennootschap Solvinity om het verbod te schorsen is afgewezen. De rechter oordeelt dat 'de overname van Solvinity door Kyndryl Nederland een bedreiging [kan] vormen voor het publiek belang'
Just within one week, Russian attacks killed 50 people in #Kyiv alone.
31 people were killed by Russia on July 2, and 19 more were killed by the strike on July 6.
Russia is a monster that must be stopped.

Mentre il vecchio signore, ormai con ridotte capacitร mentali, inscena la pagliacciata della finta visita al fronte (tra l'altro realizzata malissimo) per cercare di dimostrare le stupidaggini dette, e si scatena la consueta sbandierata russa:
13 people killed by Russia in #Kyiv in last night's massive attack.
Over 30 people injured.
The search and rescue operations continue at the sites where Russia hit.
t has been 7 years since the brutal crackdown on the anti-Russian protest held in Tbilisi on June 20, 2019. Today's march was dedicated to commemorating that day.
We would also like to remind you that protests are still being held in Tbilisi every day.

Alexander ontving namens president Zelensky een postume medaille voor zijn zoon Zhenya. Ook Alyona werd onderscheiden. Hun journalistieke werk en inzet voor anderen leven voort. Het gemis is onbeschrijfelijk, maar namens hen gaan we door. Tot het einde.
This is grandma Manัa.She is 96 years old.Thisโs her second war.
For more than a month,grandma Mania&other residents were under occupation.Her son was killed. She was beaten up. For more than a week, Mrs Mania ate nothing. Then she found potatoes&boiled one for herself each day

OTD in 1941 Soviets started forcibly deporting 50,000 of the Baltic people we had โliberated from fascismโ. 60% died. 75% were women & kids
Imagine mass deportations happening today..

Tijdens onze rit door Zaporizja zagen we een zwaar gebombardeerd ziekenhuis. Vier verpleegsters kwamen om. Toch redden artsen hier opnieuw levens. Een stille herinnering aan de enorme veerkracht van Oekraรฏne.
