Find this fascinating.
The Tapestry is literally priceless. There is no market. Why not £2 billion? Or £500 million?

This is Kristina Solovyova. Russian terrorists killed her in Zhytomyr striking residential buildings with drones on December 23. She was only 4🕯

The President of the United States is very seriously mentally ill, and elected Republicans are so afraid of him that they won’t do or say anything about it.

Polish forces shot down a Russian drone earlier on Christmas day, now Russia is shooting at least 4 drones from the direction of Belarus towards Poland.

Kyiv is celebrating Christmas. Residents of the capital gathered for caroling on St. Michael’s Square.

I’m genuinely so happy that at least part of our country can gather like this - all thanks to the people defending us this Christmas.

Françoïs Guesnet @guesnet.bsky.social · 1d

Merry Christmas. May next year bring just peace to Ukraine and Ukrainians. We all owe you, big time.

A Christmas surprise for Ukraine troops on the frontline in Zaporizhzhia.

Intel Chief Kyrylo Budanov arrived to thank, and give awards to, the "Timur Special Unit".

Estonia draws a clear red line. FM Margus Tsahkna says any so called green men crossing the border will be met with live fire, and Russian aircraft violating Estonian airspace risk being shot down. This is NATO territory. If Moscow doubts it, Tsahkna says bluntly, test us.

In Kupyansk, Ukrainian forces are continuing to clear the city as the Russian grouping has lost the ability to hold its positions, the Joint Forces communication chief Viktor Tregubov says.

He reports that about 50 Russian servicemen remain in the city.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to Zelensky's disclosure of Ukraine's 20-point peace plan by emphasizing that Russia's own peace terms are already well known to the United States.

“All the main parameters of the Russian side are well known to our colleagues in the U.S.,” he stated.

Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.

The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.

Just did a Substack Live with Ukrainian General Volodomyr Havrylov. He gave a fascinating overview of the changes in the war. For instance, now Ukraine is close to inflicting 50% of the casualties on the Russians using only 10% of the Ukr military. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Der finnische Präsident hat seine USA-Reise abgesagt und reist zu Gesprächen mit der Ukraine nach Berlin. Eine gute Entscheidung. Mit einem Demenzkranken und seinen idiotischen Lakaien käme man zu nichts Sinnvollem.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.

It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.

The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

Danish postal service to stop delivering letters after 400 years

PostNord’s decision to end service on 30 December comes after fear over ‘increasing digitalisation’ of Danish society The Danish postal service will deliver its last letter on 30 December, ending a more than 400-year-old tradition.

I call this British attitude to expecting foreign languages to be either translated or ignored 'metropolitan parochialism'
