Russia's strategy of attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine is "designed to create the appearance of victory where none exists, a deception intended as much for the Russian public as for the White House."
The Psych-Ward Presidency
The president has no moral core. And, according to his own chief of staff, he’s surrounded by amateurs, opportunists, and drug users.

⚡️ After the latest update, Google Analytics shows Crimea as a gray zone rather than part of Ukraine.
For decades, Russia has pressured tech platforms, including mapping services and publishers like National Geographic, to depict temporarily occupied Ukrainian Crimea as Russian territory.

"Perhaps the Russian leadership has a shred of human decency left and will at least leave the population in peace from this terror for a few days over Christmas," he said.
