I subscribed to the English-language @kyivindependent.com to show my support for Ukraine and independent journalism. It’s an excellent news source.

Good luck in the White House Zelensky! Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer!

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

😡 The moment a drone struck a gas station in Sumy today. Ordinary people were simply stopping to rest, buy fuel, maybe grab some food — and suddenly found themselves facing Russian terror.

❗️🇧🇪Belgium has abandoned the decision to confiscate 🇷🇺Russian frozen assets, in particular because it receives €1.2 billion in income from them annually — Le Soir

We are talking about taxes paid annually from the income of €140 billion in frozen Russian assets.

The statement about "casualties" is so cynical. During the full-scale invasion, according to Ukraine's Prosecutor General, Russia killed 631 children and injured at least 1971 children as of June 3, 2025.

🇧🇪 Belgian Prime Minister refused to support proposals to seize frozen Russian assets, in particular because Brussels also makes money from them, - Le Soir

The income of Euroclear depository from reinvestment of Russian assets is already transferred to the European Commission to support Ukraine.

Really good news: Unite the Union — the UK’s 2nd largest union and biggest in the private sector — has affiliated to Ukraine Solidarity Campaign! 🇺🇦✊
It’s the 7th national union to do so, alongside UNISON, ASLEF, UCU, PCS, GMB & NUM.

The US is giving none of its weapons to Ukraine. They’re selling some to European countries to give to Ukraine, but they are giving nothing.

Trump has done nothing for Ukraine other than make vague promises about help that never materialises. Stop listening to this liar.

Trump: "We can't give all of our weapons to Ukraine. We just can't do that. And I've been very good to President Zelenskyy and to Ukraine."

💔 A series of satellite images shows how the Mariupol cemetery has expanded year after year.

The scale of the burials is horrifying. According to various estimates, Russia has killed more than 100,000 residents of Mariupol.

He first threatened sanctions on Jan 19 if Russia didn’t cease fire. He has threatened to impose them many times since then. It is now Oct 17. He has done nothing.

⚠️ Quite the unusual route for a tanker to take. Even more unusual, because this tanker is false flagged Aruba.

The routing is mostly though Danish national water (no Strait Rules should apply here). Pilot appears to be on board.

I joined the European Movement at Downing Street to hand in over fifty-five thousand signatures calling on the government to keep Britain in the European Convention on Human Rights.

Leaving it would put us alongside Russia and Belarus. Britain should stand for justice, not isolation.

Incredible amount of China-panic over at the other place, apparently they might be trying to influence the UK away from democracy.

Funnily enough not mentioned is the other superpower whose leaders have explicitly stated their intentions in that direction.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Estonia has closed off a road/border passing through Russia after larger than usual groups of troops have been spotted.

Comment: I am hard pressed to find any insignia on those filmed and SE news claims "little green men".
