Timely insights, opinion and historical context have been the staple of Kost Elisevich's Ukraine essays since the start of his blog more than 3 years ago. Check out his latest essay - a great read.  kostelisevich.com/2026/04/06/ove…

‼️ Toxic dust is suffocating Enerhodar — and russia is behind it. They stopped mandatory moisture control the moment they occupied the city. Deliberately. Now winds are spreading a toxic mix of heavy metals and radionuclides into homes — and across the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant site. This is not negligence. This is not an accident. This is environmental terrorism. They are poisoning an entire city in plain sight. How is the world still silent?

@Ermengrabby @ruth_deyermond 💯 agree

@ruth_deyermond @MariaSeyrig Pro-Ukrainian American conservative here - Vance and his supporters are WORSE than Trump.

Very helpful for Vance to say this clearly. Too many European commentators and practitioners have treated hostility to Ukraine and alignment with Russia as specific to Trump himself, and thus as something that can be worked around. It's not, it's the administration as a whole.

No fear. #Coexist

@jgmac1106 @gaughen @SpaghettiKozak Yeah but not him. Another guy. Younger

@MariaSeyrig @gaughen @SpaghettiKozak Alexander Dugin got his start after being recognized by a pop jazz mechanic artist. In a land where nothing is true, you always read the theater critics to find out what is happening.

Along that vein, who TF is this guy? He's allegedly a comedian, yet he doesn't have one single noteworthy bit. He came out of nowhere during the last Trump campaign, helped MAGA take over the Libertarian Party, and then suddenly appears on Joe Rogan and Fox News? These aren't things that happen organically. Dave Smith has no comedic talent to speak of. His routines are dull and uninspired. No one watches Dave Smith comedy specials or goes around quoting Smith the way they quote George Carlin, Richard Prior, Bill Hicks, or Dennis Leary. His celebrity seems entirely astroturfed and fake. I'd wager that whoever paid money to boost other MAGA influencers also paid to boost Smith. Perhaps he is part of the podcaster payola ecosystem that is currently being revealed by whistleblowers like Ashley St. Clair. The American people deserve to know what happened in 2024. Smith is exactly the sort of influencer who should be investigated once the MAGA Junta is deposed.

@jgmac1106 @gaughen @SpaghettiKozak I can't think of the name but russia has had a theatre figure whose role is to confuse and create drama much like this figure. Think they sent him to do that elsewhere. Feels like the same game

@gaughen @MariaSeyrig I have long wondered if there was a deliberate effort to radicalize comedians. Talk about this wirh @SpaghettiKozak often It just doesn't seem organic. Something is off.

"Ukrainian intelligence sources estimate several thousand [Cuban fighters] are deployed directly to the Ukrainian front." This has long been known. Nice for the State Department to finally notice. It's long overdue for the Trump Admin to do something about it.

Mia, an 8-month-old Ukrainian kid, was injured during Russian missile attack on Kramatorsk. This is miracle she survived. A ray of sunshine. Everything will be good with you, precious angel 😇

Ukraine is fighting for their freedom and independence against a Russian invasion. 70% of Americans support Ukraine.

Trump ha elevado al Pontífice como autoridad moral, ha terminado de darle estatura internacional y ha devuelto centralidad a la Iglesia católica. Sin hacer ruido, a su estilo, León XIV ya es el anti-Trump elpais.com/internacional/…

The BLOCK PUTIN Act makes clear there will be consequences for blocking support to Ukraine, deepening reliance on Russian energy, and reinforces our commitment to our allies. riponadvance.com/stories/bacon-…
