Thank you for sharing this on Holodomor Memorial Day. How alone your ancestors must have felt then. And how alone you must feel now. But you are not. You are not alone.

Which is why you must keep fighting, notwithstanding all the terrible hardships you are suffering. Болісно. Горе таке. Але переможете.

Say it. We deserve it.

God I hope we’re being trolled here. This is a waking nightmare

And the idea that Ukraine is scared of aid audits but fine with a war crimes amnesty reads like trolling, pure and simple

Every single thing I’ve read about this “plan” indicates a total catastrophe for Ukraine. Surely they have to refuse most, if not all, of it.

I’m sure Madame Kallas would have done things very differently if she were the sole decision maker.

Another hot air balloon put up by the orange asset at his handler’s request to justify a deferral of the alleged November 21 sanctions. Honestly my one hope right now is that Russia buys too much time and Ukraine’s incremental destruction of their oil and gas and energy brings Russia down.

Thank you. Listening to Budanov is always a value-add experience

Putin pulls off the trick of being in power for ever but never being to blame for the consequences of his own decisions. Meanwhile in England we change the government for the first time in 14 years and after a week we’re like “These new guys are shit! They’ve done nothing.”

Jeez, could any Ukrainian really be bothered to assassinate Shoigu?

Given that Putin will never call off the invasion, we need Russia to eat itself as quickly as possible and collapse, leaving its soldiers stranded in Ukraine to make their own decisions

Yes, or “to Ukraine” would also fix it
