Or should I write โthe loud sounds of putin wanting peaceโ instead โexplosionsโ? ๐ค
Nothing says โI want peaceโ more than daily attacks on critical infrastructure and peopleโs houses.
Same shit every day for years
president zelenskyy is a stronger man than me because if two ignorant and deluded men like trump and vance started demanding i say please and thank you and calling me disrespectful like im a naughty child instead of a very traumatised and frustrated man trying to save his country from putin id have put them both in the ground with a single fucking punch
Literally what I said on Bsky yesterday when I heard this fuckery.
If we manage to overthrow this bullshit government and jail the leaders of this coups please let's make it legal for Zelenskyy to come back to the US solely to punch Trump's and Vance's smug stupid faces. It's not assault when they deserve it, right? We all saw that they deserve it.
volodymyr zelenskyy is the strongest man alive for sitting through this utter bullshit without swearing or punching the fuckers or angry crying. fuck trump and fuck everyone who did not vote for harris and fuck russia.
like i canโt even read this bit of news without feeling humiliated and iโm not even fucking there.
i am terrified that i will have to sit back and watch the loss of ukraine in front of my eyes.

Trump and Putin having talks about Ukraine behind Zelenskyys back is just ๐คข
This also happened in 2008 when Russia attacked Georgia and annexed parts of our land btw. The US and Russian governments urged Saakashvili back then to agree to Russia's terms and give Samachablo to Russia in exchange for Russia stopping there and not occupying the rest of Georgia too.
So yes, the US has already negotiated with Russia on behalf of others and we can clearly see how successful their negotiations went when just 6 years later Russia annexed Crimea and then started full scale war in 2022. Negotiating with Russia does NOT work. Russia will NEVER honor any agreement, even if the agreement gives them right to what they shouldn't even have rights to! If anything this makes them even more greedy, like a petulant child.
If anyone is under the impression that, if given Ukrainian territories, Russia is gonna stop and won't go for Poland, Baltics and Germany in the very near future, I would kindly ask you to maybe learn a thing or two from the recent history.
This is an absolutely horrendous situation. All world power concentrated in hands of a handful mean men, which is not new but the amount of wealth they have has never been this great before & frankly I am terrified of the future of the world.
[...] A major international media outlet asked me recently to join its educational platform. I had to record a video message in English and talk about my experience of serving in the armed forces of Ukraine, so children around the world could learn English from these videos and accompanying materials. I recorded it and did everything according to their instructions.
I got a cheerful message the other day from the editorial office, saying: โWeโve launched!โ I opened the presentation and had a panic attack. The lesson was structured around eight speakers, each talking about their war experience: four Ukrainians (including me) and four Russians. A Russian journalist and armed forces โdeserterโ. A Russian teacher. A Russian medical director. Another Russian journalist. The lesson ended with a slide. The Russian flag was at the top. The Ukrainian flag at the bottom. The question proposed for discussion: โWhat similarities and differences did you notice when listening to the experiences of people from Russia and Ukraine?โ
The emotional negligence of this makes me want to scream. [...] I am sickened by how my story has become an ideological tool to equalise the experience of the defender and the attacker. [...]
Iโve been living with the acute feeling that the world is tired of restraining its unquenchable love of Russia. The west wants to believe in the Cinderella story, that one day the dictatorship will fall and a wonderful democratic world will emerge.
Instead of imposing further sanctions and restrictions on Russia, the west is ready to crown the film Anora with all the awards, despite the fact that the Russian actor Yura Borisov, who appears in the film, also starred in a biopic of Mikhail Kalashnikov, the inventor of the AK-47, which was partly filmed in Crimea after its annexation.
The world is ready to listen to Russia again: a UK television channel last year released the film Ukraineโs War: The Other Side by Sean Langan. The film doesnโt just give the other side a voice; it gives a human dimension to the stories of the occupiers and repeats the narratives of Russian propaganda. This is as consistent with journalistic standards as asking an executioner, how are you feeling as you do this, and do you miss your family who are waiting for you at home?[...]
[...] If during the first term of Trumpโs presidency we talked of the post-truth era, now we find ourselves in a world in which the truth is taken out, tortured and shot. This means that there will be no justice. This means that anything goes.[...]
[...] The world is looking at the body of truth that is dying and bleeding before our eyes. I beg you, if you canโt stop the bleeding, at least donโt turn away from the sight of blood.[...]

These are just a few of Russia's war crimes. Every day, Russian forces bombard civilian cities, torture prisoners, and loot Ukrainian lands. Meanwhile, Russian politicians openly disregard international agreements and speak about destroying Ukraine as a nation. And yet, Ukraine is now being asked to forget all of this.

Sometimes I see this misunderstanding and I'd like to clarify it. When Ukrainian say "russian drones/shahed drones/iranian drones," we don't mean this kind of drones:
We mean THIS kind of drones that can carry a warhead and are essentially used as missiles:
While they're not as large, destructive and difficult to intercept as, say, ballistic missiles, they can still cause significant damage. Russia launches them at us every night, but most are successfully shot down.
