Обращение к Путину 14-летнего молодого человека посмотрели миллионы людей и получило тысячи положительных реакций Российский подросток из города Челябинск обратился к Путину, призвал его не только закончить войну в Украине, а полностью сложить с себя полномочия президента и оставить всех в покое В обращении юноша описывает как изменилась жизнь при путине: слышны взрывы, главы семейств гибнут, семьи распадаются, а молодое поколение боится будущего. Россияне и до войны с Украиной вымирали в нищете рекордными темпами, а сейчас ещё и каждый месяц гибнут десятками тысяч в войне, которую Путин никогда не выиграет у украинского народа #путин #обращение #россия #украина #новости

🔥 Last night, I slept peacefully in my bed... only "because rough men stand ready." Our democracies owe them more than gratitude. Together with @69thSB, help us fund a truck for the rough men of GUR's "Timur" group. 🎯 Campaign link below 👇

🕊️ I'm pro-peace. That's why I fund trucks for Ukraine's defenders. Peace is not begging the aggressor to stop, but making sure he cannot continue. Help us deliver peace through strength, one truck 🛻 at a time. This one goes to GUR's Timur group. Link below 👇

Kancelaria Prezydenta napisała do X prośbę o usunięcie tego materiału z całej platformy. Na filmie widać wicepremiera Sikorskiego w centrum wydarzeń, któremu sekretarz stanu Marco Rubio dziękuje za doskonałą współpracę. Dodaj go do zakładek i podaj dalej, zanim zniknie z X.

💥 Подросток из Челябинска записал обращение к путину, в котором призвал его срочно закончить СВО и уйти в отставку Я хочу, чтобы вы ушли полностью из нашей жизни, из нашей страны. Нам не нужна война и победа любой ценой. Мои ровесники боятся будущего. Верните границы 2000 года

Der polnische Außenminister Sikorski liest dem russischen Aussenminister Lavrov vor dem UN Sicherheitsrat gehörig die Leviten. - In knapp 6 Min. zerreißt er alle vorher angebrachten Russen-Stuss Propaganda Talking-Points komplett in der Luft. Bravo!👏👏👏

🙈 Ignoring this war doesn't keep you out of it. It just means you pay later. Every border you assume is permanent is being tested in Ukraine right now. We’re fundraising because prevention is cheaper than the alternative. Join our fundraiser for GUR's Timur group🛻⤵️

- Radoslaw Sikorski - FM of Poland: "Members of the permanent Security Council have a duty to protect world peace. And here, a member of the Security Council — Russia — attacked a neighboring country. So, if international law is to mean anything, the United States has a duty to stand with the victim of aggression." (Clash report) .............. So, where is US? , Tump's policy is to make concessions to the aggressor. 🤢

There is quite a lot of new followers, so I’ll pin this post for a day. - My name is Daria - I am a Russian, Israeli and Belgian citizen. Yep, such things happen. - I am a volunteer buying drones and other useful stuff for Ukraine, together with my colleagues from @freedombirds4ua - I am on Russia’s international wanted list, as well as the list of terrorists, for my position on Russian invasion to Ukraine. - My day job is not related to what I’m doing here at all. I’m a Doctor in Business Economics, working in the university. - Languages: Russian, Ukrainian, English, Dutch, French, Hebrew. - Political views: radical centrism Disclaimer: it is guaranteed that reading this blog you will be pissed off by something at least once, no matter which nationality or worldview you have. It is my natural talent, though I do not do it on purpose. Enjoy!

I’ve been reading comments about Oleshky, and some people say: “We’ll share this, but we’re losing hope because there’s nothing we can do to change the situation.” That’s not true. You can make a difference. The more we speak about what is happening in Oleshky, the more attention it gets. And the more people speak up, the harder it becomes for world leaders, international organizations, and organizations like the Red Cross to ignore what is happening. Maybe one person cannot change the situation. Maybe not everyone will be able to help directly. But together, through constant pressure and attention, we can push for action and demand that Russia allow humanitarian assistance and stop people from being left to die. It is easy to give up. It is easy to say, “There is nothing I can do.” But we cannot afford to do that. There are people in Oleshky. Their lives are in danger. People are facing hunger. People are dying. So please, don’t stop. Tag your leaders. Tag international organizations. Tag journalists, bloggers, public figures and people who have a voice and an audience. Keep talking about Oleshky. Keep sharing. Keep demanding action. Let the people of Oleshky be heard.

🙄 Somewhere online, a troll or a bot is typing that support for Ukraine is running out. Meanwhile, the trucks 🛻 you funded last months have reached the 153rd & 159th Brigade. Funded by people who keep showing up... & delivered to defenders who refuse to give up 💙💛

This is truly a great man. He has invested more in Ukraine than 185 countries combined. Meet Howard Buffett, Warren Buffett’s middle son. He is 71 years old. He dropped out of college three times. He drinks Dr Pepper and looks for a McDonald’s wherever he travels. Since the beginning of the war, his foundation has become the largest private donor to Ukraine: $1.4 billion. Over four years, he has personally visited Ukraine 27 times. In April 2022, he saw burned-out agricultural machinery and called the president of John Deere: “How many combines are available in Europe?” “Fifteen. All of them were supposed to go to Russia.” “I’ll take them all.” Then came all the available New Holland equipment in Europe. Altogether, more than 100 tractors and combines were provided to Ukrainian farmers. He even tested demining equipment himself - on his own farm in Illinois, detonating explosives beneath rollers. When a Ukrainian deputy minister expressed doubts, Buffett told him: “Stop counting my tractors. If necessary, I’ll blow up a thousand of them.” Andriy Stavnitser initially asked him for $1 million for Superhumans. Buffett asked how much was needed to build the entire center. “$14 million.” “Okay. And what do you expect in return?” “Nothing. Build it.” Today, his support for Superhumans has reached $77 million, and the center has treated more than 1,700 patients. But his largest area of spending is neither agricultural machinery nor prosthetics. It is food: 642 million meals. And that is only part of it: * 344,000 windows replaced after Russian attacks; * 9 bridges, 4 power plants, 2,500 generators, and 18 DNA laboratories; * Much of Bucha rebuilt with his funding. “I already have more friends in Ukraine than I do at home,” he says. He celebrates birthdays in Ukraine, comes for Christmas, and even has a Ukrainian godson. Friends, this is truly a great man - someone who understands that he cannot take all his money with him when he leaves this world. I simply want to thank him and wish him well. Whatever else one may say, this is real help from a person who had no personal obligation to Ukraine. He simply chose to help. Source: translated from the original text by Oleh Bairak.

Vi supplico PARLATE DI OLESHKY. È una catastrofe umanitaria e la Russia si rifiuta di far evacuare i civili, li usa come scudi umani e non fa entrare cibo in città. Non possiamo voltarci dall'altra parte, dov'é la nostra umanità? 💔❤️‍🩹

The problem with Russia is not that they do not have much to lose. There are two levels to that. Level 1, rational: how much they have to lose in comparison to what they can gain. Level 2, irrational: how much they are PREPARED to lose to gain at least something. The scale of disregard to human life in Russia is unimaginable. How much did Russia gain in the last, say, two years? I’ll tell you: roughly 6000 km². About two Luxembourgs. Not too much, with all respect to Luxembourg. That cost Russia: 300K dead (we exclude wounded and missing) in the last two years. 900K with wounded and missing in action. So we’re talking 150 people per km². In terms of economy: military expenditure in the last 2 years is around $500 billion. Not rational at all. But they’re ready to be irrational.
👀 NATO Military Chief Giuseppe Cavo Dragone: We have 4,000 pages of plans for the eastern flank, and this goes from the minimal crisis or interference on our soil with Article 5 and on and on. The alliance is ready. The structure is ready. The soldiers, the system, the weapons are ready. In case of an attack, I can tell you that today they have much more to lose than to gain, that’s for sure, and that’s deterrence.
