The woman here is 71 years old.
Minding her own business in her own home in Zaporizhzhia region.
Russia says it is liberating her. Does it look like it?

Belgium's PM holds the financial keys to a war he claims can’t be won. That is a false assumption, yet he’s not prepared to take a risk for the sake of Ukraine's or Europe’s freedom. It’s cowardly clowns like this that will destroy the European project. youtu.be/AOfqBgEN8Ak

After Elon Musk lashed out at the EU, calling for its dissolution and accusing the Commission of strangling Europe with bureaucracy, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski fired back: “Go to Mars. There’s no censorship on Nazi salutes there.”

This is the cost russia has paid to lose more territory than they claimed in the first days of this war, and it’s approaching 4 years.
They are losers.
No one deserves being handed land of a sovereign people for such losses.

Another example of why you can't trust Russian treaties:
🔹May: Maduro and Putin sign a strategic partnership
🔹October: strategic partnership officially ratified
🔹Maduro immediately asks Putin for military support
🔹Maduro receives 2 potatoes and a middle finger
FAFO 🤷

I can no longer say "unbelievable" about anything Trump does, but it's still remarkable.
The president of the country which used to be undisputed leader of the free world, lets an ally be battered with civilians killed every night, refusing to close the skies, then does this:

This makes them the first non-NATO countries to join the program.

This should come as no surprise to anyone aware of trump's greed, affinity for putin, and total ammorality.
Two-thirds of American voters are responsible for electing a traitor for president. A third voted for him and another third didn't bother voting against him.
