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. 🇺🇦

Any name ideas? 🙏🇺🇦

When Moscow cries “false flag,” it usually means they’re planning one.

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.

Blocks 🇺🇦 EU path to “avoid war,” while filling Putin’s war chest with:

⚫ Russian oil & gas deals
⚫ Blocking sanctions
⚫ Moscow’s money laundering hub in Budapest
⚫ Undermining NATO unity

Reading between the lines, he’s already chosen a side, WAR

🗿 Orban wants his cake & to eat it too.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated on Kossuth radio that Hungarians do not want to see Ukrainians in the EU to avoid sharing their fate:

“Ukraine is a country with a very complicated fate. Why should we share this complicated fate?”
