In reality, it strengthened Moscow’s army — the same one that would soon attack Ukraine.

From blocking Ukraine’s NATO path in 2008 to enabling Russia’s military training, Merkel’s “dialogue” now looks like denial with devastating consequences.

History keeps receipts. Ukraine pays the price.

Defense giant Rheinmetall was to build advanced training centers across Russia, modeled after Germany’s Altmark base, simulating real battlefield conditions.

At the time, Berlin called it “cooperation for stability.” 👇

Don’t get fooled. Remember who crossed the border first.
Remember who the aggressor is.
Truth doesn’t need rebranding — only lies do. 💙💛

Russian propaganda rewrites its own lies faster than missiles change targets. From “it’s Ukraine’s fault” to “it’s the West’s war,” every version hides the same truth — Russia invaded Ukraine. Homes were bombed, cities burned, children lost parents — not because NATO moved, but because Moscow did.👇

A night of fire across Ukraine—grid hits, a child killed in Zaporizhzhia, and rolling blackouts in Kyiv. By daylight, air defenses held, partners surged aid, and Ukraine answered with strikes on Russia’s energy lifelines.

Russia tried to break Ukraine’s power this morning—and failed to break its resolve. Kyiv is back on its feet, partners are rushing missiles and drones, and Ukraine is hitting the Kremlin’s “wallet” deep inside Russia.

A rare atmospheric marvel appeared in the Carpathians: the Brocken Spectre. When the sun shines from behind and a bank of cloud or fog lies ahead, a person’s shadow is projected onto the mist and ringed with bright, rainbow-like halos.👇

Consequence: talk of “peace” sounds like a farce and an insult to people under fire.

Peace is not compliments to dictators. Peace is stopped rockets, restored security, and justice. Ukraine holds to this every day.

Putin offered veiled support for Donald Trump’s bid for the Nobel Peace Prize and declared the committee’s authority “lost.” The reply came quickly: “Thank you, President Putin,” from Trump.

Fact: that same night, Russia again struck Ukraine—hitting energy infrastructure and residential buildings👇
