"We reiterate that the deployment of foreign military contingents in Ukraine is categorically UNACCEPTABLE."

❗️ We reiterate that the deployment of foreign military contingents in Ukraine is categorically UNACCEPTABLE.
@mod_russia regards any military units in Ukraine as LEGITIMATE TARGETS, with all the attendant risks & consequences.

This is funny. Remember that Russian Z-propaganda blogger who accidentally revealed that during the Oleshky evacuation, most people chose to go to Ukraine rather than Russia?
Well, he might be facing prosecution for it now 😁
"I work for RT, yet I interviewed a Ukrainian official with respect and praised his humanitarian work.
The "yet" is damnable in of itself.
But at least it demonstrates some self knowledge.
Why didn’t the BBC’s Steve Rosenberg join the trip to Alyoshki?
I cannot know what is in another journalist’s heart, but journalism fails when a fixed narrative prevents us from covering stories that do not fit it.
I work for RT, yet I interviewed a Ukrainian official with respect and praised his humanitarian work.
My Christian faith teaches me to recognize good wherever I find it. When someone is helping civilians, nationality becomes irrelevant and the work deserves our respect.

After five years under occupation, told they were russian and Ukraine was the enemy, most buses leaving Oleshky still went to Ukraine
Forget russia’s fake ‘referendums’. Look where people chose to go. That’s how people in occupied territories actually feel

What I learned from Americans commenting on the situation in Poland on X:
Donald Tusk is carrying out a coup against President Nawrocki. He's being assisted by German police, which obviously means Germany is invading Poland again. But since Germany is in the EU, it must actually be an EU operation, probably personally ordered by Ursula von der Leyen.
Fortunately, the coup has failed because the Polish military remained loyal to the president. Tusk may control the government, but Nawrocki controls the army. That's apparently how Poland works now.
Meanwhile, Poland is preparing a military operation to capture Kaliningrad. So while the EU is trying to overthrow the Polish president, that same president is preparing to invade Russia.
To summarize, Poland is simultaneously being invaded by Germany, experiencing an EU-backed coup, fighting a civil war and preparing to attack Russia.
All this happened over the weekend and somehow nobody in Poland noticed. I'm learning so much about my country from Americans. Can't wait to find out who won the war.

Zelenskyy:
“Are we attacking Russian diesel fuel? Yes.
But does this have an impact on prices in the U.S. or globally? No, it does not.
Russia’s current share of global exports is 2.2%. So, the actual impact is virtually zero.
We know that the war in the Middle East has a far greater influence on energy prices worldwide.”

"Did Donbas rise up? Yes, Donbas rose up, I was there and saw with my own eyes how the uprising was strangled." "By whom?" "By Moscow."
This is a stunning admission from prominent Russian Z-blogger and journalist Maxim Shevchenko. He openly confirms what Ukraine and international investigators have stated for 12 years: Moscow never intended to "help" or "liberate" Donbas. Instead, the Kremlin staged a hybrid operation, hijacked local sentiments, and ruthlessly crushed any genuine autonomy to turn the region into a completely dependent, war-torn gray zone. The puppet masters themselves are now forced to admit that Russia set up, used, and abandoned Donbas to ruins

"Putin will wage war. I don’t know when, but he will. And you, Europeans, will be surprised to discover that this war is aimed at you, too... You think that what is happening in Moscow has nothing to do with you—that it’s our problem.
Putin hates people like me, certainly. But through us—in Russia, or through the revolutionaries in Ukraine or Georgia—it is you he hates: your democracy, your society, your freedoms.
Do you think his regime is merely a threat to us? Your awakening will be brutal."
Anna Politkovskaya, in Paris, 2005.
She was assassinated in the lobby of her apartment building on October 7, 2006—Putin’s birthday.

1/ 🇷🇸🇷🇺 Vučić just lost Serbia.
russia’s most useful Balkan ally called a snap election to cling to power. Students who spent 2 yrs in the streets crushed him.
Moscow spent a decade buying influence with cheap gas & political cover.
Europe didn't oust him. Serbians did.

Putin says Ukrainian land belongs to Russia because of history. But what happens when we apply his logic to Russia itself?
On October 22, Putin once again claimed that Ukrainian territories are historically Russian.
“This is not their territory. It’s the territory of historical Russia,” he said.
Interesting argument. Let’s apply the same logic to Russia.
🇯🇵 Japan: The Soviet Union seized the southern Kuril Islands in 1945. Japan still claims four of those islands, which Russia controls today.
🇨🇳 China: Vladivostok and large parts of Russia’s Far East were once under China’s Qing dynasty. Russia acquired these territories through treaties in the 19th century.
🇫🇮 Finland: Vyborg and parts of Karelia belonged to Finland before World War II. Finland was forced to surrender them to the Soviet Union.
🇩🇪 Germany: Kaliningrad was once Königsberg, a German city and part of East Prussia until 1945.
🇹🇷 Turkey: The Ottoman Empire once controlled Azov and held territory and influence around the northern Black Sea before Russian expansion.
So here’s a question for Putin:
Should Japan take back its islands? Should China reclaim Vladivostok? Should Finland reclaim Vyborg? Should Germany reclaim Kaliningrad?
Of course, historical possession does not automatically give any country the right to seize territory today. Most of these countries do not even make such claims.
And that is precisely the point.
If every country started invading its neighbors to recover territory it controlled centuries ago, where would it end?
Ukraine is an internationally recognized sovereign country. Russia recognized its borders.
History is not a license to invade. And Ukraine does not belong to Russia simply because Putin says it does.
Stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

If only we’d built nuclear plants instead of Snowy Hydro 2.
Even in the worst case scenario where Bowen compares it to Hinkley C Nuclear Plant that will be an about a 3x cost increase, a lot better than a 12x blowout for a battery.
Hinkley C will produce 7% of the UK’s electricity from just 2 reactors for over 60 years.
At more realistic CSIRO prices you could have built 5 large nuclear reactors for the up to $50bn price tag of Snowy Hydro 2 (including transmission lines).
It’s worth reminding ourselves that the one reactor Australia did build recently, the OPAL research reactor, was basically on time and on budget.

I am a perfectly ordinary person. I am simply a human being. Perhaps not as great a humanist as Putin—but, in any case, I try to do everything in my power. — Zelenskyy.

Biggest news in safe nuclear waste disposal ever!
"This is the first operating license anywhere in the world granted for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel."
Huge congrats to Finland for finally answering the question and implementing the solution.
🥇 A historic world first! Finland grants #Posiva the first operating licence for spent nuclear fuel final disposal. Over 40 years of work have paid off. Commissioning continues, with safety first.
