If only there was a way to get holes in jeans without harming someone in the process…

1/22 This is Svetlana Maniovich. She is your guide to the world of extreme Russian glamour. She radiates richness. Diamonds, furs, Rolls Royces - she has it all and more. In summer you can find her in St Tropez where she rents a villa for €150k/month, or on a yacht in Naples🧵

Why do so many Russian-speakers support Putin and this war? Still. Even in Ukraine (though their number is declining). And in other former satellites, or even Canada and the US. Why? How? WHY?

Mayor of Konotop, near RU border, speaks to his people. “RU put an ultimatum: either we give up, or they destroy the town. What do we do: fight or surrender?”
