I'd like to bring this video to your attention.

It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

Finally, social media that's billionaire-proof. ⚡

Bluesky's first IRL ads spotted in @boston.gov @mbta.com.

/10. Zelenskyy is not “clinging to power”. He stayed in Kyiv when Russia’s army was at the gates, while Putin expected him to flee. If he was a "puppet," why didn’t he surrender when the invasion started? Zelenskyy is not perfect, but he is leading a country at war!

/Any "peace deal" that involves giving Russia land will only lead to another, bigger war in the future.

/9. Trump does not have a secret plan. Trump’s statement that "Ukraine doesn’t have the cards" is meaningless. His idea of ending the war likely involves forcing Ukraine to surrender. But Putin has openly said he wants more than just Donbas—he wants Kyiv, Odesa, and possibly all of Ukraine.

/8. Russia's invasion was not "provoked". NATO expansion was not forced on any country — nations like Poland and Baltic states chose to join NATO because of fear of Russian aggression. Ukraine was not a NATO member in 2022, and Putin’s invasion had nothing to do with NATO, but imperial conquest.

/Even Mariupol, which Russia now controls, is mostly in ruins, with mass graves covering the city. Russia claimed to be "protecting" Donbas, but in reality, it has annihilated it.

7. Since 2022, Russia has completely destroyed large parts of Donbas. Many cities and villages have been reduced to rubble. Places like Bakhmut, Mariinka, Avdiivka, and Vuhledar no longer exist as functioning towns—only ruins remain.

/The Minsk agreements were meant to stop the fighting, but Russia never honored them.

6. Ukraine did not attack Donbas for 8 years. The war in Donbas was a Russian hybrid operation. Ukraine defended its sovereignty against Russian-backed militants. Russia supplied heavy weapons and troops while pretending not to be involved.

/5. Zelenskyy was democratically elected. Volodymyr Zelenskyy won a landslide victory in 2019 with over 73% of the vote. He campaigned on peace and negotiations but Putin started a full-scale invasion in 2022 instead.

/ and armed separatist groups, using propaganda to fuel division. using propaganda to fuel division. The war in eastern Ukraine did not start because of language laws — it started because Russia sent weapons and troops to destabilize Ukraine.

4. Crimea and Donbas were invaded, not "liberated", Crimea did not hold a legitimate referendum. It was occupied by Russian forces without insignia (“little green men”), and the so-called "vote" was conducted under military control without international supervision. In Donbas, Russia created

/3. The 2014 Revolution was not a "coup". The Revolution of Dignity (Maidan) was a movement by millions of Ukrainians against a corrupt pro-Russian president, Viktor Yanukovych, who ordered his security forces to shoot peaceful protesters.

/against Ukraine. Ukraine signed said agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum: the United States and Russia would pay attention and respect Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, that there would be no use of force or threat of force against Ukraine. Russia has broken this.

/2. In 1994, Ukraine had the third largest nuclear arsenal. Ukraine gave up that supply under security assurances that the United States and Russia would pay attention and respect Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, that there would be no use of force or threat of force

Russian propaganda! Responding with the (10) facts, gathered by Jo.

1. Ukraine is an independent nation. The claim that Ukraine has always been part of Russia is historically false. Kyiv Rus existed centuries before Moscow was even founded. Ukraine has its own language, culture, and history.
