This is the root of russia’s plan to annihilate the Ukrainian people.
Beyond the absurdity of invoking fanciful genetic theories, Putin makes it clear that Ukrainians have no right to exist: they must either identify as russian or be eliminated.
There can be no peace with russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin cited genetics to declare that Russians and Ukrainians are “one people” and reiterated his claim to Ukrainian territory, saying: “I think that it is not their territory but the historical territory of Russia.” wapo.st/48aZaZF

Trump's new strategy to hand a nation of 35,000,000 to Putin in exchange for Trump family enrichment - aiding the massacre of women and children in Ukraine.
This the new America - a piece of shit and a complicit @gop congress.

Literally, Ukraine just offered a Ceasfire last week, for 60 days, and elections,
RUSSIA REJECTED IT, AND TRUMPS IGNORING IT 🤷♂️
Trump: Zelensky never wanted to end Ukraine war

Rubio: “The president does not like to see this image of a ballistic missile hitting an apartment building in Kyiv and innocent civilians being wiped out as a result.”
If Trump dislikes Russian ballistic attacks so much, then why withhold intelligence about Russian launches, stripping people in Kyiv of their chance to take cover and survive?
Why throttle Starshield speeds, rendering our jet-powered drone interceptors useless?
Something doesn’t add up. Either Rubio is living in his own reality, or this whole administration takes us for complete idiots.

“There is no longer any point in discussing Trump’s motives. Is he still sore about the Hunter Biden laptop business? Is he mesmerized by Putin, as by so many autocrats? Does the Kremlin, as conspiracy theorists allege, have kompromat on him? Who cares? Whether or not he is a Russian asset, he is plainly an asset to Russia.”

"If there is to be any hope that the democracies, and especially what was once the greatest of them all, will retain or regain their moral compass, we must all keep shouting from the rooftops: “This is a lie!”; “That is a lie!”; “The leader of the United States is lying!”

The UN "Human Rights Council" sided with Russia against countries that sanction human rights abusers.
Yet another example of why the UN is dysfunctional.

True about history, but it's an accurate judgment of Putin. Trump doesn't care about the West or US interests, or if Russia destroys them, as long as it's profitable to him, and Putin can do that. Calling it a misjudgment provides undeserved cover.

Italy's Defense Minister Guido Crosetto:
Russia attacked Ukraine, it attacked Crimea, Georgia, if we want to go further back, Afghanistan.
So in the Russian mentality, there is the idea of attacking in order to occupy.
Most of the Russian budget goes toward investments in weapons or the military.
They will reach 1.5 million military personnel.
So if the war ended tomorrow, what would Putin do with 1.5 million soldiers?
He himself would face internal problems if he stopped the war tomorrow morning.
And this gives me the impression, since he continues to accelerate, that he would not want to stop in Ukraine.
This is Europe's concern, especially the concern of the Eastern European countries closest to Russia.
And that is why, as Europe and NATO, we are preparing - @GuidoCrosetto

War exists whenever there is ‘resort to armed force between two or more States’
Deborah is right to call out Hill. We’re not at war with Russia or vice versa.
Fiona Hill, a former adviser to the US National Security Council, says war with Russia is "already happening" – but Sky's @haynesdeborah challenges what we mean by war, and whether the comparison with Ukraine goes too far.

Dear America, your President has completely switched sides, attacking your allies, and supporting your enemies.
Ask yourselves why?
What motivates this administration the most?
Money
The most corrupt and evil American administration in history

It's all been bullshit. All of it. Diesel, energy deals, peace negotiations, everything between Trump Co. and Putin's mafia is a charade. All they're doing is laundering money and trying to lift sanctions. It's all they care about and all they know how to do.
The Trump/Putin deal gets worse. According to reports, the US was also offering $100 billion of frozen assets (that are in the custody of the EU) in exchange for a limited ceasefire. kyivpost.com/post/86720

All my life I have seen the President of the United States as the natural leader of the free world. But no longer. Yesterday, Trump cut a deal with Putin—lifting sanctions so Russia can sell diesel into US and global markets ahead of the midterms. Today he says Ukraine needs a new leader who will “make a deal”. He is pressuring the invaded country to replace a gallant wartime president while rewarding the invader with revenue. That is not ‘America First’. It is certainly not leadership of the free world. He is the self-serving friend of dictators, and a stain upon the founding values of the USA.

Trump’s diesel deal with Putin makes no sense (it’s also immoral since it will fund the ailing Kremlin war machine).
The US has no need of Russian diesel. It already refines more than enough for domestic demand — with 1.5m b/d for export.
Russia has no diesel to export. Ukrainian drones have taken out a third of Russian refining capacity, turning Russia into a net importer of diesel (from India).
The volumes involved are derisory. The initial Russian offer = 2.2m barrels. The US consumes 3.5m b/d.
The price of diesel at the US pump is between $6/6.50. That won’t change before the midterms. The deal does nothing to help Trump in these elections.
But it bolsters Putin and undermines Ukraine.

Today marks 20 years since Novaya Gazeta journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in Moscow. She recognized Putin's true nature earlier than most—and the regime could never erase the truth she died to tell.

It's not NATO's eastward expansion that worries them
Democracy's eastern expansion that is the thing they dread
Es ist einfach nur noch erbärmlich und zum Kotzen, wie diese blinden RuZZischen 🇷🇺 Trolle tagtäglich unter meine Tweets kriechen, um immer denselben widerlichen Lügenmüll von der „NATO-Osterweiterung“ abzukotzen. Merkt ihr eigentlich noch, wie dumm ihr dasteht? 🥱🫣
Selbst euer geliebter Sowjetchef Michail Gorbatschow hat höchstpersönlich klipp und klar klargestellt, dass es damals niemals vertragliche Versprechen oder Fixierungen gegen eine NATO-Erweiterung gab – das ist ein reiner, verlogener Mythos. Und selbst der sowjetische Verteidigungsminister Marschall Jasow hat zugegeben, dass über solche angeblichen Garantien nie gesprochen wurde.
Ihr plappert hier jeden Tag freiwillig Putins geisteskranke Propaganda nach, weil euer Horizont offenkundig nicht weiter reicht als das Moskauer Drehbuch. Sucht euch endlich echte Argumente oder verpisst euch aus meiner Timeline, anstatt hier weiter eure hohle Scheiße abzuladen!
Ich wünsche allen anderen meiner Followern ein wunderschönes und erholsames Wochenende! Ich nehme mir jetzt jedenfalls die Zeit, sie ganz für meine Freunde und meinen 🇺🇦 Mann zu haben.

The idea that Russia’s failure to become a democratic, peaceful country is somehow the West’s fault because of “shock therapy” needs to be buried once and for all.
For the sake of everyone, including the Russian people themselves: they have agency. And they bear responsibility for the crimes against humanity committed in Ukraine in their nation’s name.

😂 After a decade of Brexit propaganda, The Sun has finally published an EU headline that makes me genuinely cheerful.
“Andy Burnham opens door to ripping up Labour’s Brexit red lines.”
Never thought I’d say this but frame that front page.
If even The Sun can see where this is heading, the Brexit omertà really is over. Game on. 🇬🇧🇪🇺
