@Mylovanov He really went downhill after he was caugh hiring prostitutes.

Reporter: Your opposition colleagues say Russia should remain whole. You disagree? Kasparov: Latvia and Uzbekistan couldn't be in one state. Why should Ingria and Yakutia? Chechnya already lives by Sharia law. Empire has no place in the 21st century. The system is so rotten its place is on history's garbage dump.

@jalle51 Hmm you think several hundred thousand more Russian soldiers is a good thing for Ukraine ?

Putin is officially running out of "meat" for his meat-wave attacks, and the situation is getting Bloomberg-level dark in Russia. 📉🇷🇺 According to leaked sources from the FSB and the Kremlin reported by Verstka, Moscow is quietly preparing for a massive new mobilization wave this fall, right after the September elections. But shhh... don't call it "mobilization." That word scares the locals! 🤫 The math is simple: Russia's casualties hit a staggering 1,325 soldiers PER DAY in June. The massive cash bonuses aren't working anymore; contract sign-ups in Moscow have plummeted by a third compared to last year. Now, recruiters are scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel. They are literally picking up homeless people from the streets and convicts from prisons who are so old and sick they can barely stand. The quality of the new recruits is so terrible that one Russian recruitment officer admitted: "I used to be a patriot, but after seeing the people they send me, I became totally unpatriotic." 😂🤦‍♂️ This time, the Kremlin has set up a digital draft system that automatically blocks your passport the second the email is sent—so no running away to Georgia or Finland like in 2022. Putin wants to drag this out for 2-3 more years, but when your army consists of sick, forced convicts, "winning" looks like a very distant dream. Grab the popcorn! 🍿👀 Source: Verstka / Important Stories / Verkkouutiset (June 2026)

@Sulkhan Another angry Georgian.

Another hilarious piece of Russian propaganda is that invading Ukraine was justified because Ukraine is supposedly corrupt. This truly sets a new standard in international law. By that logic, countries have the right to invade corrupt neighbours. And if we're applying the principle consistently, the first country on the invasion list should be Russia. Imagining a state more corrupt than Russia is beyond human capability.

@DimitriNabokoff Why would Putin test article 5 ?

Putin gave in to Zelensky's blackmail and shut down the radars in Belarus as demanded. Putins refusal to test Art. 5 confirms that Russian nuclear rhetoric is an empty bluff masking profound conventional weakness.

@horia85 Horia Arad ?

Today, my hometown banned the use of the russian flag and anthem. I’m very proud of this.

@MeNMyRC1 @Tatarigami_UA They are all Americans, the greatest melting pot ever. All who go aspire to be American. Unlike europe where our immigrants despise us.

Tell that to the Union Yankees, or the Confederate South, or the liberal West Coast vs the Red heart of Texas and the Midwest. Groups of settlers from the EU are represented throughout the US. Up until a couple years ago, the signs in the local hospital were in English and German.

Perhaps it's time to hit pause on Druzhba pipeline again.

@OckersM but actively allowing russia to benefit from Irish Alumina is DEFINITELY NOT FUCKING NEUTRAL, if it makes you feel better we provided defensive equipment and money to Ukraine. Couldnt be more neutral than that.

Neutral DOESN'T MEAN HELPING THE AGGRESSOR Actually....it kinda does....but actively allowing russia to benefit from Irish Alumina is DEFINITELY NOT FUCKING NEUTRAL. I hope I made my point. #Alumina22 alumina22.com

@MeNMyRC1 @Tatarigami_UA The United States are the same people, the European Union are different peoples.

@Tatarigami_UA Unanimous Consent is not the way to run a Union. This will always be the weakness of the EU. For all of its faults as a Nation, no one state in the US can paralyze foreign policy.

@LetsArmUKR @WarrenB_69 Thats the best reply ive seen for that question.

@WarrenB_69 Because my timeline is not an obituary exchange. Moscovias losses are a policy choice; Ukraines are a crime. If you want to count the cost, start by condemning the invasion that made any Ukrainian die at all.

NATO's Mark Rutte just dropped a brutal reality check: Trump’s inner circle of Witkoff, Kushner and Rubio are scrambling to broker some kind of peace, but in the end it’s still Putin who decides if the slaughter stops. Meanwhile Russian forces continue to bleed out at a catastrophic rate — 30,000 to 35,000 casualties every single month. That is not sustainable, no matter how much meat Moscow throws into the grinder. At the same time Ukraine is striking deep inside Russia, turning refinery after refinery into smoking ruins and choking the aggressor’s war machine where it hurts most. The math is merciless. Russia is losing this war on the battlefield and in the economy. Only Putin’s deranged stubbornness keeps the bloodbath going.

@HaraldRodney Thats some fetish you have

I am Norwegian, and shit on ruZZia and their followers, whether you like it or not #russiaIsAterroristNation 💩💩💩💩💩💩

@robggill That united nations security resolution was a no fly zone, but the West went to war instead. A no fly zone turned into attacks on the ground, insertion of special forces and regieme change. Triple lock or not when the west wants to go to war it does. We should not be apart of it

Triple lock or no Triple lock - we could have legally gone to war in Libya in 2011. We didn't. There is no culture of military adventurism, no appetite and no capability.

@TarasKuzio Things that wont happen this year ?

Russia will capitulate to Ukraine by the end of this year. Three quarters of the Russian Federation are within the range of Ukrainian missiles Ukraine will possess ballistic missiles by the Autumn. Ballistic missiles are the most difficult for air defence to intercept. By Autumn Russia’s air defence will be practically non-existent making it far easier for Ukraine’s new ballistic missiles to hit high value targets inside Russia, such as in Moscow. economist.com/europe/2026/05…

@BillyKelleherEU Russia is advancing on the battlefield. The notion that russia or currently ukraine are loosing massive amount of troops attacking is nonsense. Attacks now take place in 2 or 3 man teams in order to avoid drones.

Mr Lavrov you are losing ground and you are losing soldiers at an alarming rate. The sad reality of tragic loss of life in Ukraine, both civilian and military seems of no concern to you. Looking at Putin and you, both seemed not to have suffered much hardship in this war.

@WarMonitor3 Absolutley astonising that the English dont already have that capabilitity considering all their hard talk for the last few years.

The British army is preparing to be able to strike Russia within minutes if they were to invade or attack NATOs eastern flank according to top defence officials. Wow...

@eeldenden Dumb comment

The hostility and petty nationalism some Eastern Europeans show toward each other has always felt Russian and KGB to me. Nawrocki, the former hooligan, taps into that. Federalism is the cure 🇪🇺

@PetitVerdot3 @justincbzz The grey zones are grey because of drones.

@justincbzz Ukraine is now capable of cleaning the grey zones remotely via drones. The counter offensives will progress steadily while the logistic support to the russian troops will be systematically depleted by ukrainian strikes.

I don't think Russia has any way to stop the campaign to "disconnect" Crimea. It's too sensitive geography wise to be doable. No amount of moving air assets there will save it, and move assets there from where ? It's not like they have many to spare. A bigger concern for them imo should be the flow of supply to these fronts. What if Ukraine tries to cross the river again ? What if they intensify push in the Zapo front ? Ukraine will very likely try a "bold" move either later in the summer or as autumn arrives, before leaves die.

@mynewcat @jalle51 Ironically its a ukranian minister that says ukraine needs millions of foreign workers.

@jalle51 Don't forget the great replacement that will happen to replace all the dead Russian boys. I hope Russian women like showing their bobs and vagene. The Pakistanis are coming.

You honestly have to stand up and give a slow clap for the absolute strategic genius of Vladimir Putin. He launched a three-day war to completely "demilitarize" Ukraine and turn it into a defenseless buffer zone. 1,600 days later, he has accidentally created the most lethal, high-tech military superpower in modern European history right on his own doorstep.. 🇷🇺🤡🇺🇦 A massive new briefing from the atlantic council confirms what military analysts have been watching unfold by mid-2026: Putin’s master plan has backfired in the most spectacular way imaginable. Back in 2014, the Ukrainian military was an underfunded ghost town. Today? They have treated the battlefield like a brutal tech start-up. By ditching old-school bureaucracy and empowering young, creative commanders with domestic tech companies, Ukraine has built a drone arsenal so advanced it is literally making NATO generals blush during joint exercises. 🚀💻 Ukraine is now an undisputed drone superpower. They have single-handedly neutralized Russia's Black Sea Fleet using homemade naval drones, and are currently executing a complete "logistics lockdown" on the ryska armén using massive mid-range drone swarms. If Putin accepts peace now, he has to live next door to a permanently hostile, hyper-militarized powerhouse. If he keeps fighting, Ukraine just keeps upgrading its sci-fi arsenal while Russian troops are still begging for diesel for their 1980s tanks. This is the Kremlin’s ultimate geopolitical nightmare unfolding in 4K. Grab your popcorn, the coping is reaching terminal velocity! 😂🍿 Source: Strategic defense analysis by the Atlantic Council on Ukraine's military evolution (June 24, 2026).

@lobitocorriendo @IcarusTwit @Fooferan @AdrianP_doc 2010 neutrality vote was instigated by the deposed president and his party of the regions, which as you well know was supported by russian speakers. 2014 came and millions of russian speakers werent in any new elections,or votes. So the nato membership dynamic changed.

@IcarusTwit @Grahamfromeire @Fooferan @AdrianP_doc 2008 again, nice. No sources, you quoted. And 2010 is newer. And I really would like to have one to the statement that you did, about 2014. And yes, it was a statement. Are quotes sources? 2022, by Putin: “It fell to us to return what is Russia’s and strengthen the country.”

Except for Gary Kasparov, I have yet to see a Russian, even one who claims to hate Putin, to clearly state that Crimea belongs to Ukraine.

@audiocustoms82 @s_stehleiter @eckilepsie Konstanivka

@s_stehleiter @eckilepsie Welche "Festungsstadt" fällt denn gerade? Und die Technik von der du redest, ist in der Ukraine entwickelt und produziert. Westliche Rüstungsunternehmer stehen derzeit Schlange um ein Stück vom Ukrainischen Innovationskuchen abzubekommen 😉

Über Jahre wurde überall proklamiert, die Krym sei ohnehin verloren und man müsse das de facto akzeptieren, was man aber de jure nicht machen würde. Dass es ausgerechnet die Krym sein würde, über die die Rückeroberung beginnt, ist nicht nur bemerkenswert, es straft all die Lügen, die nicht früher, mehr und beständiger Waffen an die Ukraine geliefert haben.

@JGPN877 @polidemitolog Devalue currency, convert all export earnings to rubles, pay of debt. Yes imports more expensive, but more rubles for government to play with and less imports. Problem solved.

@Grahamfromeire @polidemitolog You haven't lived through a hyperinflation, have you?! Because it shows.. We, on the other hand, have! And I can tell you that there are real fuxking social consequences to doing that... Also I trade debt for a living so you can spare the mechanics of debt monetization.

Russian government plans to increase defense spending this year by 4 to 5 trillion rubles, or 55 to 69 billion dollars, which is nearly 40 percent above the original budget, Bloomberg reported citing sources. This will push the deficit higher and lead to more internal borrowing, with debt service costs already doubled since 2022 and expected to reach at least 15 percent of GDP over the next decade.
