Understanding that Russians see agreements and treaties only as tools to further war aims, President of Poland rightly explains that Russia is nothing but lies, upon lies, seeking only to destroy – the only thing they know.

Trump calls a Ukraine “peace” deal close while ignoring Russia’s strikes. He treats Ukraine’s resistance as the problem, twisting the war into Kyiv’s “stubbornness” instead of Russian aggression. Are Ukrainians guilty for resisting Russian crimes?

Anyone willing to amplify propaganda for a terrorist state should be held to account.

Putin has signed Russia’s 2026 budget, allocating at least $166 billion to the war against Ukraine, one-third of all spending and the highest military outlay since the Soviet era. To fund it, Russia slashed social programs.

Reminder: Russia can't afford to keep up this war.
Their reserves are dwindling and the free world minus the US has a GDP of roughly $25 trillion while Russia has 2 trillion.
With the lower oil price, the Ural discount, and the banking crisis looming, "the end is nigh" for Russia's aggression.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?
