O Artemovi mi už včera říkal mamčin skvělý kardiolog @ondrejcerny.bsky.social, takže jsme dneska poslaly něco obě - já i mamka.

Artem je mariňák, seržant Ozbrojených sil Ukrajiny a všeobecně správný chlap. Ruský minometný granát ho připravil o obě ruce. S klinikou Superhumans mu je chceme vrátit.

Great powers do not ask for security guarantees, they give them. The fact we are asking for them proves we are not one.

This might be evidence to treat us accordingly.

Federal budget subsidies to the Russian social security system. Pension subsidies fluctuate a lot. They are occasionally used as a buffer to make sure that the federal budget balance comes in on target.

Rubio indirectly concedes that the negotiation process between Ukraine and russia looks “hopeless.”

I hope it’s clear to everyone why it isn’t working, and why Ukrainians remain skeptical. The sides are divided by fundamental differences that Washington simply chooses to ignore.
