In today’s Russian papers: Russia needs the resources “to conduct hostilities in Ukraine for at least 2, even 3 years.” Meanwhile, “it is no longer possible to deny the signs of petrol shortages in the regions.” Plus, utility tariffs to rise, science funding falls. #ReadingRussia

Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2014, when the world refused even to recognize russian aggression.
Ukrainians didn't surrender in 2022, when the world expected us to fall in 72h.
Ukrainians won't surrender in 2025, either.
For us, freedom and sovereignty are not empty words.

For people who conflate Hamas with all Palestinians…
Hamas won power in the 2006 election
There have been no elections since
They won with 11% of the votes of the total population
11%
…and yet 100% are paying the price.

Is this the kernel of the problem? Is it the unwillingness to acknowledge that Europe is a legitimate world actor. At this point, it's a hang-up
And is that reflex rejection what is actually stopping the UK moving towards Europe?
The history is interesting.

I think this is the closest many of us have ever got to seeing the real Trump. The only consistent thread in his entire unhinged rant was the love & praise for Vladimir Putin. Zelensky has more courage & dignity in his little finger than every member of Trump's regime & fan club combined.

Petition: Commission a public inquiry into the impact of the UK exiting the European Union
Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.

This will be a long thread in which I will explain and show the approach of mass corporate defaults in Russia.
I will also show that Putin's economy is currently in the worst possible position.
