I am not sure why you believe Moscow's tales.
All its data is errr... massaged.
Inflation is no longer scarily high according to them.
They claim the extra cash in circulation is because of internet disconnections - people withdraw extra cash just in case.
If you believe that, I can't help you.

Viktor Or(c)bán is expected to meet Putin on Friday, according to reports not yet confirmed by Budapest.
Hungary's PM has already met Putin 3 times since the war criminal invaded Ukraine.

It should have been as clear as day some time ago that Europe should stop catering to the US and instead learn to stand firmly on it’s own feet. Ukraine deserves most respect for having continuously resisted the Russian occupier despite all this.

These figures are similar to those from 2024, indicating strong support for Ukraine despite Trump's inconsistent support for Ukraine.

Here's what The Counteroffensive is reading today:
6 drones breached Moldovan and Romanian airspace during Russia's attack on Ukraine. Zelenskyy said that at least 4 Russian drones flew into both countries.
This follows earlier breaches of European airspace by Russia.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
