For the first time, a Russian politician called for an end to the war from the parliamentary podium.

As expected, Grigory Yeremeev, a politician from the Samara region, was issued an administrative protocol for “discrediting the army” after publicly making that call.

Someone just pointed out that he actually says “neo-Nazi regime,” and after listening to it a few more times, I agree — that’s what he says.

I hope you can forgive this giant faux pas. 🫣

Russia is going to be so much ‘fun’ once all the soldiers return. 😏

"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!"

I dug trenches for Gracie in the backyard, but she prefers to choose her own routes.

Alternatively, she might be training for a mission in Greenland — on the side of Greenland, of course.

I translated this so people would understand what’s happening in the video.

The man who rescues a woman and her child tells the baby ‘happy birthday’ because the little one survived the Russian attack on a civilian train, and it’s like his/her second birthday.

‘Don’t poke the Russian bear or it might die’ is not just a meme.

Russian economist Leonid Paidiyev: “Americans need to be made to understand that if you try to poke the Russian Federation with an awl it won’t end well: the awl is dangerous, and the donkey is already half dead.”

“1,500,000 about which a huge question mark can be placed.”

— Russian military expert Maksim Klimov pretends to wonder what happened to 1.5 million Russian soldiers.

Russia’s new reality: Fend for yourselves. The government has more important things to do.

“We are living in a new reality — those who believe they’re entitled to help won’t survive; those who can manage on their own will.”

“People are scared. They need psychological help.”

‘Poor’ Russians have been afraid to come out of their bathrooms for 3 days after a stray Russian missile hit their buildings.

Kiddo saw the poor birdies waiting in the snow by the empty feeders and rushed outside to feed them.

Now he’s designing a cozy bird shelter to keep them warm… and I’m trying to gently explain to him that birds don’t really follow instructions when it comes to using shelters.

Every Saturday I teach Ukrainian kids art. Today we reimagined the Ukrainian flag.

We drew cats, birds, and flowers in blue and yellow to show the world that the Ukrainian flag is not only about strength and resilience, but also about life and the things that make us happy.

Ukrainians never lose their sense if humor… 🔽

— So much is happening in the world, yet this is what amazes me every time.

— This is literally all of us right now.

A post from Kyiv 🔽

Air raid sirens, ballistic missiles, Shaheds.

My grandfather, 88, can’t go to the shelter. We can’t turn on his oxygen machine because there’s no power…

All that’s left is to pray. I tell him: “Hold on, it’s not time to give up. You’re strong.”

Treat your neighbors as you would like to be treated, and you’ll get chocolate ‘donations’ in return.

💙💛 Yes, really!

Russian politician Nikolai Valuev advised Russian youth to go to the gym and take up masculine sports to prepare for future ‘special military operations’ against former Soviet republics.

Today, Trump published a map where Canada and Greenland are depicted as U.S. territories.

There’s the explanation for it — a simple one, and what a funny explanation it would be if the U.S. president were a comedy character rather than a real person.

Let’s get this straight…

Trump invited both Putin and Macron to join his “Board of Peace,” but he doesn’t want Macron because Macron will be out of office soon (May 2027).

Does this mean he expects mass murderer Putin to stay in office past May 2027?

Trump’s “Board of Peace”: Captain Underpants, C-3PO, Wile E. Coyote, Jiminy Cricket, Dr. Evil, King Pig, Mister Potatohead… and a few other questionable heroes.

Why are there no women on Trump’s “Board of Peace”?

How can a group of wheelers and dealers, dictators, dictator wannabes, men who wage wars, and yes-men achieve peace?

You need smart women for that!

I hereby demand that the Austrian government award me the title of “Queen of Tyrolean Yodeling.”

Failure to comply will result in the invasion of Switzerland.
