The traitor fascists inside the EU.
The EU summit has approved a special exemption for Hungary, Slovakia, and Czechia regarding the €90 billion UA loan. According to the conclusions, these countries will not bear financial obligations tied to the loan, which will be backed by the EU budget and repaid only when Russia pays reparations.

Written in the outpost of Rearcross, the letter is a bleak portrait of human misery worthy of Samuel Beckett

The US-Russian 'peace' deal is the modern day reincarnation of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
None of us should put pressure on Zelenskyy when it comes to territorial concessions. We should all put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression. Appeasement never was a road to a just and lasting peace.
