We are liberating Russian speakers.
Reality: russia bombs, tortures, and deports the very people it claims to “protect.” The only thing russia liberates is territory from its population by killing or abducting them.

Corruption is a problem in Ukraine and part of the reason the country has not freed itself from Russia earlier. Now it appears the anti-corruption forces are about to win a major battle though. The news here is not that there is corruption. The news is that it's being brought to light and fought.
In July, Zelenskyy tried to gut Ukraine's anti-corruption bureau.
In November, it released wiretaps exposing his friend running a $100M kickback scheme at the state nuclear operator.
The agency survived—and struck back. Our deep dive into the scandal: euromaidanpress.com/2025/11/12/n...

Russia deliberately targeted power substations linked to the Khmelnytskyi and Rivne nuclear plants last night. These are not random strikes, they are calculated attacks on Europe’s nuclear safety. Ukraine demands an emergency IAEA Board meeting to address this escalating threat.
