Giorgia Meloniová je prostě skvělá! 🇮🇹👏🏻 Matteo Salvini začal vykřikovat, že Itálie už nesmí posílat Ukrajině peníze a zbraně. Jenže narazil. Meloniová mu okamžitě zavolala a dala jasně najevo, že Itálie svůj postoj měnit nebude. A Salvini? Najednou otočil a začal mluvit jinak. Přesně takhle se jedná s těmi, kteří by nejraději nechali Ukrajinu napospas Putinovi. Žádné ústupky, žádné podlézání Kremlu! Meloniová znovu ukázala, že podpora Ukrajiny a obrana evropské bezpečnosti nejsou otázkou pravice nebo levice, ale zásad. Bravo, Giorgia! 🇮🇹🇺🇦

😄 A blow from an unexpected quarter! Mozambique's president has made Putin a laughingstock The African leader posted a photo on social media from the so-called Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF). As we all know, the Russian dictator is self-conscious about his height, and photos like this are a rare sight in his official photo collection. Wonder if the photographer is still alive?

🇺🇦🇷🇺 ZELENSKYY WARNS PUTIN: UKRAINE KNOWS WHERE RUSSIA’S WAR MACHINE IS HIDING Volodymyr Zelenskyy has delivered a direct warning to Moscow: Ukraine knows the locations of Russia’s military factories, oil depots, gas storage facilities and other strategic infrastructure, and it is developing weapons capable of reaching them. “We need tools that can reach further, and that is exactly what we are developing,” the Ukrainian president declared. His message comes as Ukraine continues expanding its domestic long-range strike capabilities, seeking to bring more of Russia’s military-industrial infrastructure within reach. For Kyiv, these operations are intended to disrupt the facilities, logistics and resources that sustain Moscow’s invasion, while forcing Russia to devote additional air defenses to protecting its own territory. Zelenskyy also made clear that Ukraine has no intention of absorbing Russian attacks without responding. “They strike us every day, and we will retaliate every day. The scale of our response will continue to grow.” The warning reflects a broader shift in Ukraine’s strategy: reducing its dependence on foreign-supplied long-range weapons while increasing its ability to strike military targets deep inside Russia. Putin’s forces continue attacking Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. Zelenskyy is now promising that Russia’s own war-supporting facilities will face growing pressure in return. And Ukraine is developing the weapons to make that possible.

Russians in Russia think Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are a joke. Russians make memes about them visiting Moscow just to have a good time because they are not actually accomplishing anything to end the war.

This is absolutely disgusting and understand that this is who Donald Trump has made allies with. It’s like ISIS with a bigger army, probably worse, actually. Attacking children, animals, rescuers, all of it. They have no place in a civilized world.
russian terrorists attacked with an FPV drone an animal shelter in Kramatorsk, causing a fire on the second floor of the building where many cats were located. After the firefighters arrived to put out the fire and help evacuate and collect the animals, a russian drone was waiting in the sky… after which it crashed into the fire truck as well. Throughout the full-scale war, this shelter served as a refuge for stray animals and people with pets. The animals that were inside during the strike were carried outside, but some of them ran off into the surrounding area and got lost due to the explosion and shock.

"Within days, Russian soldiers poisoned their dog, an Alabai, along with all the other large dogs in Oleshky. They killed Liudmila’s nextdoor neighbor and raped his wife. A local butcher disappeared; no one knew whether he was also killed. Some neighbors were detained and beaten. Armed, masked soldiers searched Liudmila’s home three times, confiscating the couple’s Ukrainian passports and leaving them with no documents. And yet, Liudmila and Andriy stayed. They got a new puppy, also an Alabai. Russian troops started to move into civilian houses, parking tanks in what once were gardens."

A very sad day for the rescue world 💔 Deeply saddened to learn about the loss of Jesse Adams, founder of RainCoast Dog Rescue Society, who passed away while saving animals in Ukraine. The world has lost a true hero and a champion for the voiceless. Rest in peace, Jesse 🕊️

In March 1949 alone, the Soviets deported over 20,000 people from Estonia. Of those deported, 79% were women and children. Specific enough?
It is always funny that Baltic reactionaries never get specific about _whom_ were deported and executed under the USSR to pretend it was some kind of genocide.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Soviet Baltic deportations are well documented with specifics. Operation Priboi (March 1949) deported ~20,700 from Estonia, over 70% women and children under 16. Totals exceed 200,000 across Baltics 1940-53. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_de…

A true hero--compared to all the poseurs today.
Former Polish President Lech Walesa to the US: "Reclaim, as Americans, your leadership role in the world. And you can begin by saving Ukraine."

Browder: Trump got really mad that Zelenskyy kept hitting Russian oil refineries, which Putin had asked Trump to make Zelenskyy stop. Zelenskyy was not deferential to Trump. So weapons already paid for by others were cut off, and so was Starlink. It surely looks retaliatory. 1/

I wouldn’t want to be the Greek shipowner who’s transporting the Russian diesel to the US right now. Only congress has the authority to lift sanctions (regardless of Trump’s executive order) and this shipowner is in a potential world of legal problems in the future if he unloads the oil in the US.
NEW!! In a letter to the head of shipping firm EASTMED, Sen. Blumenthal demands a tanker carrying nearly 40,000 metric tons of Russian diesel reverse course before reaching New York/New Jersey, warning the shipment could violate U.S. law. He also demands answers by Oct. 31 👇

People often ask me "Who are the 29% of Americans who still support Trump?" It is people like this lady. They are all really dumb and there are tens of millions of them in America.

ELON!
Well, let’s just say this is not a humanitarian act. NO! It certainly isn’t. Attacking ambulances is more than just a war crime. ELON! The drone operator is NOT some poor lad forced into combat; what you’re saying is just an excuse on your part.

Applebaum: Ukrainians died after a decision on Starlink disrupted the front line, making it harder to anticipate incoming missiles and warn people. Trump turned on Ukraine, Musk joined him. Neither wanted to take responsibility for the deaths. 1/

Russian casualties from Ukrainian drones have passed 300,000 since January 1. That is roughly 1,000 a day, every day, for almost ten months. Every hit is recorded on video in DELTA and verified by @BRAVE1ua. No month has dropped below 26,000, and March peaked at nearly 34,000. Every Russian soldier stopped by a drone is one who never reaches a Ukrainian position. Verified hits earn units points for more drones, EW systems and UGVs through Brave1 Market.

Four Russian soldiers get captured after crawling through a pipe. Remarkable exchange: - Guys, crawl out! Nothing will happen to you! How many are there altogether? - 31! Will you torture us? - Torture? You’re in your underpants telling me everything already.
