At North Korea’s 80th anniversary parade, they rolled out the Hwasong-20 — a solid-fuel ICBM claimed to reach 15,000 km with multiple warheads.
Now they’re even sending regular troops to fight for Russia in Ukraine.

Watch my bite-size update on where we stand. Putin wants hits on Ukraine’s energy grid, homes and civilian life — the same failed terror he’s repeated for 4 years. He’s out of ideas, not missiles.

The Kremlin planned an “Arab world show of strength” for Oct 15. But when too few leaders said “yes”, Putin quietly shelved it. So much for proving Russia’s “influence.” Even Moscow’s PR summits are surrendering.

Putin Failed Again! 🤡
The "First in history," as it was loudly declared, the Russian-Arab summit for Putin had to be canceled due to the refusal of Arab country leaders to attend the event, - Bloomberg

Russia stole our family home, imagine your neighbouring country just walking into yours, kicking you out and then shooting your friends….

How can I just let that go?

From midnight until around 5am, drones, explosions & air defence battered us all night. No sleep, fortunately we still have power. God bless all those who work in our air defence🙏

I can imagine this making Putin extremely popular. Too proud to admit defeat, over a million Russians injured, and pretty much going nowhere after nearly four years of war.
Feels like a Gorbachev moment coming on 🤞

I’ve been to Pokrovsk. Russia targeted civilians every single day, not just here, but across Ukraine.
The world might ignore this genocide, but Ukraine never will. 🇺🇦

So a little kitten turned up at our house, we haven’t named her yet, but we’re thinking of keeping the little rascal. She just won’t leave.

Any name ideas? 🙏🇺🇦

I break down why Russia invaded, how it’s falling apart, and why Ukraine could take back its land without firing a shot.

When Moscow cries “false flag,” it usually means they’re planning one.
A lie so big even Burger King wouldn’t serve it. 🍔

RT and the FSB, same people who took part in my torture, now pushing another Kremlin whopper about a “UK provocation.”

Any foreigner working for RT needs to be arrested, respectively in their home countries. No exceptions.
