On Thursday morning, my Ukrainian family had to hide in a basement as bombs landed near their homes. This is the most emotional piece I will ever have to write. Russia’s invasion is inflicting awful pain on everyday people - my family are suffering. 🇺🇦 independent.ie/irish-news/the…

@Gramo1875 Missed this. What he do?

Fair fucks to Sallinger for coming out and holding his hands up but that brain fart completely ended the match. Big opportunity for Jordan Smith to get the number one spot.

Also if Hibs won today and still in for 4th course I'd want to beat Celtic. But now, play the u20s for some first team experience. Accept the 8-0 & get Celtic's goal difference up 😊 if Hibs officials had anything about them that's what they'd do 👍

Остання «Червона Рута» на Донбас Арені. 12 років тому 25 квітня 2014 року відбувся останній домашній матч на Донбас - Арені на якому були присутні Ультрас Донецького Шахтаря. Вже на той час було дуже небезпечно ходити на сектор і тим паче з такими показовими українськими банерам, проте, ми з пацанами все ж пішли. В ті часи російські Тітушки вже приїздили за хлопцями, то на роботу, то додому. Вже були облави. Банер внизу на два наших сектори: «Одна єдина - соборна Україна», ще присутній прапор ВМСУ і один з останніх голосів України пісня «Червона Рута» на Донбас Арені. (Я на відео зліва в синій кофті)

Just pointing out that I broke the story 7 months ago that Mandelson failed vetting from the security services and put it to Downing Street...so the idea that Downing Street only found out on Tuesday is complete nonsense. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Absolutely horrific night in Ukraine last night - 44 ballistic missiles and 659 drones fired from Russia. Deaths in Kyiv, Odessa and Dnipro. Not even bothering to hide the fact that it is residential areas under attack. Barely on the news outside Ukraine. And @JDVance says he is proud that USA has pulled its support so the aggressor can keep aggressing. Disgusting. But Europe has to do even more now

Some crucial observations by @gavreilly. A shame he isn't on this platform anymore.

@maxbergmann So you just ignore that NATO is a defensive alliance?

What's the plan, Europe? NATO has nothing. All the eggs are in the Trump basket. So what do you do when its 2028, 200k Russian troops are moved to the border of Baltic states, and Trump/US isn't going to lift a finger. What do you do?

💥New call leaks, both transcripts and audio: Sergey Lavrov urges Péter Szijjártó to blackmail the EU Council over Ukraine and later tasks him with sending him EU documents. Hard to tell which part is most damning. Here's the "Kremlin Hotline", part 2. vsquare.org/kremlin-hotlin…

Bloomberg News exclusive: Orban Offered to Be ‘Mouse’ Helping Russian ‘Lion’ in Putin Call Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told Vladimir Putin during a phone call in October that he was willing to go to great lengths to assist the Russian president “Yesterday our friendship rose to such a high level that I can help in any way,” Orban said, according to a Hungarian government transcript of the call reviewed by Bloomberg. “In any matter where I can be of assistance, I am at your service.” “The more friends we make, the more possibilities we have to resist our adversaries.” To underline the point, Orban recalled a children’s story he said was popular in Hungary. The Aesop fable involves a mouse freeing a lion caught in a net after it had earlier spared the rodent’s life. The remark drew a laugh from Putin, the transcript shows. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Bloomberg just dropped the Orbán tapes and it reads like a bad fanfic. Hungary’s prime minister spent a phone call with Putin calling him a “lion,” casting himself as the helpful little “mouse,” offering Budapest as a venue to end the war on Russia’s terms, and closing with “I am at your service.”

@cepmak @alexander__2022 You don’t think.

@alexander__2022 Узко мыслишь

Экс-капитан сборной Украины Анатолий Тимощук продал на аукционе свою футболку за 700 тысяч рублей ради помощи жителям Курской области, пострадавшим от действий ВСУ. Тимощук – один из самых титулованных футболистов Украины. Сейчас он работает помощником тренера в "Зените". За поддержку России на территории Украины его лишили наград, требовали аннулировать его тренерскую лицензию и добавили в санкционный список. Я честно говоря не понимаю, как можно было переступить Зеленскому через историю своего деда с бабкой и работать на врага. Поэтому он и переступает через горло каждого своего гражданина. А те кто не понимает этого тоже, уходят из гражданства Украины в Российское.

No matter how dark the night, light will prevail. Christ is risen. He always does.

The ongoing war in the Middle East shouldn’t keep us from paying attention to Russia’s continuing atrocities against Ukrainians.

For the third day Russia keeps hitting Kharkiv nonstop. This is European Street, heart of the city.

Ich habe mir den Bericht unserer Kollegen von Welt angesehen und war darüber einigermaßen überrascht. Aus meiner Sicht enthält er eine Reihe von Ungenauigkeiten und Aussagen, die so nicht zutreffen. 1. In der Ukraine gibt es keine „Zwangsrekrutierung“. Es gilt eine Generalmobilmachung, die Millionen Männer betrifft. Diese erfolgt im Regelfall auf schriftlichem Weg und nicht – wie im Beitrag dargestellt – durch Maßnahmen auf der Straße. 2. Die in solchen Videos gezeigten Szenen betreffen in der Regel die Umsetzung bereits erlassener Einberufungsbescheide, denen die betroffenen Personen nicht nachgekommen sind. Dafür benötigen die TCK-Beamten konkrete Informationen zu den jeweiligen Personen, die sie der Armee zuführen sollen. 3. Ich selbst habe in den vergangenen Tagen zweimal Einsätze des TCK beobachtet, bei denen auch meine Personalien und Dokumente überprüft wurden. In beiden Fällen habe ich kein übergriffiges Verhalten wahrgenommen, sondern reguläre Kontrollen von Papieren, die eine Rückstellung vom Militärdienst begründen können. Es kam dabei zu keinerlei Gewalt, und die Beamten sind ohne festgenommene Personen wieder weitergefahren. 4. In dem Beitrag wird zudem behauptet, Männer würden direkt an die Front und in einen „Fleischwolf“ geschickt. Das ist aus meiner Sicht irreführend. Niemand wird ohne vorherige Grundausbildung an die Front geschickt. Zudem ist der Begriff „Fleischwolf“ unzutreffend, da die ukrainische Armee bemüht ist, eigene Verluste so gering wie möglich zu halten. Über die Gründe für die Darstellung in dem Bericht möchte ich nicht spekulieren. Nach meinem Kenntnisstand entspricht sie jedoch nicht den tatsächlichen Gegebenheiten. youtu.be/ZoMWWhaU6s8?is…

New: We obtained phone calls between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó showing them conspiring to lift EU sanctions on Russia -- from oligarchs to banks to the shadow fleet.
