Some identify similarities between Ukraine’s Azov and Palestine’s Hamas. Having established this identity, one can then berate those of leftwing persuasions who ‘support Palestine but not Ukraine’.
This is how the argument goes. Why oppose military aid to the Ukrainian also loudly supporting the Palestinian resistance (Hamas)? Azov is right-wing, but so is Hamas. If Hamas’s politics can be found tolerable given its struggle against imperialism, why not accept some of the distasteful aspects of Azov? Why support peace through compromise in Ukraine but militant resistance in Palestine?
So, is Palestine Ukraine, and Israel Russia? Yes, on condition that: A) Hamas emerged from the Zionist movement. B) Hamas was filled with Jewish Israelis in its top ranks. C) Hamas leaders and operatives largely spoke Hebrew and assassinated those excessively defending the Arabic language. D) Hamas propaganda called to save the Judeo-Christian world from the brown hordes invading Europe.

2 - the famously pessimistic Russian milblogger Romanov made the claim about 17/4 trucks, which would mean a total of ~1200 people evacuated. He then deleted the post.
But Melania Trump said that 750 people were evacuated. Why would Melania be undercounting how many people she helped save?
Anyway all this arguing over who went where is so sad. Why not just be happy that civilians were given the choice to leave a warzone?

If you've ever wondered what a fair referendum would look like in occupied territory, here's a perfect visual.

Some infowarriors (and politicians) are displeased by the ceasefire and civilian evacuation of Oleshky. The spectre of peace is just too much for them, however small. Many in Ukraine, however, are less terrified by fruitful negotiations with Russia.

I wonder if Sensible Centrists ever worry about the moral qualities of their allies in Ukraine and Israel
The German extreme Left and Right are terrified of their own supporters who propel them in elections: Hamas fans + Arab mobsters and Nazi sympathisers.
Leaked @Alice_Weidel mails & @ElifEralpBerlin comments bring amazing transparency about their anxiety towards people who help themsays she cld “puke” bc of her far-Right allies; Eralp is afraid for herself and her family at a mere mention of “organised crime” and “Hamas” who helped her win the Berlin elections.

A vacuum of power has emerged - Braun, you must gather your szlachta, declare rokocz against the illegitimate rulers, take the reins of power, annex all neighbours, establish a new Rzeczpospolita
Time must not be wasted!
Time must not be wasted!
OŚWIADCZENIE w sprawie wydarzeń rozgrywających się w Trybunale Konstytucyjnym 30 października 2026 r.
Dzisiejsze zdarzenia związane z Trybunałem Konstytucyjnym pokazują, że rządząca Koalicja Obywatelska zdecydowała się na wymuszanie swoich racji politycznych przy pomocy policji abstrahując od porządku prawnego, co przywołuje na pamięć zdarzenia z maja 1926 r. których stulecie niedawno obchodziliśmy.
Szczególnie bulwersujące jest, że zlecenie siłowego przejęcia Trybunału Konstytucyjnego zlecił minister sprawiedliwości Waldemar Żurek z pewnością na polecenie premiera Donalda Tuska.
Sytuacja ta prowadzi do upadku instytucji Trybunału Konstytucyjnego, gdyż zapewne w tej sytuacji ukonstytuują się dwa Trybunały Konstytucyjne uznawane w zależności od opcji politycznej.
Jedyne wyjście z tej sytuacji klinczu praworządności w jakim znalazła się Polska to wyjście z UE, które spowoduje automatyczne uporządkowanie systemu prawnego i usunie z niego orzeczenia i interpretacje obcych organów sądowych, które są wykorzystywane do jego demolowania.
Wzywam do wycofania policji z udziału w akcjach politycznych i rozwiązania sporów kompetencyjnych w sposób zgodny z prawem.
Grzegorz Braun, Prezes Konfederacji Korony Polskiej @KoronyPolskiej🇵🇱

UWAGA
- Służby na polecenie Donalda Tuska szturmują budynek Trybunału Konstytucyjnego
- Ludzie zebrani pod Trybunałem próbują odeprzeć atak
- Karol Nawrocki, lecący z wizytą międzynarodową do Senegalu, zawraca, by przywrócić porządek w kraju
To jest całkowita abstrakcja.
To jest zamach stanu.

When units come under Azov control, they tend to replace the commanders with trusted Azovites.
For instance, when the Third Army Corps (Biletsky's Azov) took control of the 60th brigade in 2025, they promptly replaced the commander with Dmytro Rogozyuk. Before the war, Rogozyuk in the football ultras scene, which is why he had plenty of Azov friends and quickly joined them after 2022.
Just recently, Biletsky gave Rogozyuk command of the entire 3rd Corps, because Biletsky is now in charge of Army Group Centre, the most important frontline grouping

@EventsUkraine @souljagoyteller Not how that works — other brigades full of regular soldiers were folded into Azov’s corps, they didn’t magically spawn a hundred thousand Azovites.

The main difference is probably that Azov now has around 100,000 NATO-funded troops. Its 'White Fuhrer' Andriy Biletsky is a brigadier general in charge of managing the most important section of the frontline. Azov's 1st and 3rd corps are regularly described as the best units in the army. Biletsky is in the top-3 candidates for president.
None of this exists anywhere else on earth. Governments glorifying genocidal figures happens in most places.

Specific attention being given to Ukrainian Nazi apologia is so obviously selective. This shit is common throughout Eastern Europe. What makes Ukraine’s attempts at creating a non-communist national history via sympathizing with collaborators any different from Croatia and the Ustase, Serbia and the Chetniks, Hungary and Horthy, Romania and Antonescu, Slovakia and Tiso, or Belarus and Astrouski

Don't know why Astrouski was mentioned. The Belarusian government officially views him as a despicable Nazi traitor. The Slovak state also condemns Tiso.

Austria, Cyprus, Indonesia, Israel, Moldova, Spain, Monaco, Serbia.
Bodies keep on turning up on distant shores. Explosions, kidnappings, detached heads. And the same pattern shrouding each victim: involvement in Ukrainian scam call centres, closeness to Zelensky’s inner circle, m was preparing to talk with European law enforcement. Even more piquantly, some of the victims allege that Ukraine’s main western-funded journalists have been aiding the killers.
All rather ironic, given that is Russia’s passion for assassinations in the EU that is routinely decried as ‘state terrorism’ and used as justification for further economic sanctions. Ukraine, meanwhile, is quite free to kill, kidnap, or blow up whoever it likes across Europe. Perhaps this is linked to the repeated allegations by victims that EU-funded Ukrainian journalists assisted the covert assassins in their missions.
In short, Ukraine is shaping up to join the ranks of those states routinely assassinating political opponents abroad. Given their anti-Russian animus, no doubt they’d prefer to be compared to Israel or Rwanda.
Except that those killed aren’t always quite opponents, but allies who know too much and might say too much to the beloved European partners. More specifically, they know too much about the scam call centre industry patronized by Zelensky’s law enforcement structures and largely profiting off European victims.
One of the first cases of Ukraine’s international operations took place in 2021. Zelensky wanted the errant judge Mykola Chaus back in the country, probably so that he could give testimony against ex-president Petro Poroshenko, Zelensky’s great rival. So the president got Kyrylo Budanov, the new head of the GUR (Main Intelligence Directorate) to send a team to Moldova, where Chaus had been hiding from corruption allegations in Ukraine the past few years. The GUR kidnapped Chaus, shoving him into a Ukrainian embassy car and driving him across the border. His abduction was captured on camera. They made little effort at concealing the operation.
Even the highly pro-western Moldovan government of Maia-Sandu publicly protested against the hutzpah demonstrated by Ukrainian intelligence agencies.
Since then, the GUR has become much more ambitious on the international stage. Early in 2026, the son of a scam call centre oligarch was tortured and decapitated in Bali, with a GUR agent arrested in Kiev in mid-2026 for the crime.
In late June 2026, exiled Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolaev was targeted by an explosion in Monaco in late June. He escaped without life-threatening injuries, but his mistress’s legs were torn off. His younger son also suffered. Just a few months earlier, Yermolaev’s older son had been arrested by INTERPOL for organizing a massive scam call centre network with revenue of over 100 million euros. He was promptly released by Estonian law enforcement as part of a plea bargain. He’d clearly cooperated. In the underworld, rats can face collective punishment.
A few days later after the attack on Yermolaev, the Monaco bomber fled INTERPOL back to her native Ukraine. There, she was promptly assassinated by two men — one a GUR officer, the other from the SBU, Ukraine’s other big intelligence agency.
Anastasia Berezovskaya, the unfortunate bomber📷
In court, the killers said that the deceased had also been involved in operations against the dissident Ukrainian blogger Anatoly Shariy in Spain — he has complained of attempts on his life by the GUR/SBU for years. He is also sanctioned by the Ukrainian government and sentenced to 15 years imprisonment for ‘treason’, just as Yermolaev is sanctioned for supposed business dealings with Russia.
Similar death squads were likely involved in the 2025 assassination of Ukrainian deep political operator Andrey Portnov. Like many of today’s victims, Portnov was an important figure in the Zelensky elite who ended up attracting too much heat. He was particularly hated by western-funded journalist and anti-corruption networks.
On October 8, 2026, we saw a final story that quite neatly ties all today’s threads together. Zelensky’s disgraced General Prosecutor, having fled to Austria in September after allegations of profiting off scam call centres, was targeted by a group of GUR officers in Vienna. Austrian law enforcement arrested two journalists from Ukraine’s western-funded liberal nationalist press and two GUR officers.
And on October 28, the former Prosecutor General declared that the GUR had been trying to kidnap him. He also claimed that the same GUR general behind the operation was also responsible for the murder of a Cypriot organized crime figure in 2025. This general is Viktor Torkotyuk, alias ‘Titan’, a fascinating figure whose involvement in international drug smuggling I’ve covered several times before.
A whole web of intrigues. We’ll also get into how this relates to an assassination attempt in Tel Aviv and a mysterious meeting in Vienna between Torkotyuk and representatives of the Serbian mob.

Trump soon backed down after his attempt to pressure Kiev through Starlink restrictions. Now the US has returned full access to its crucial communications and intelligence.
Zelensky has bet on allying with the CIA, Congress, and the ghost of Lindsey Graham against Trump. This l for him.
Meanwhile, a number of prominent voices in Ukraine have declared over the past week that the country must make no compromises and fight until the destruction of Russia, 'just like Israel'. A natural comparison for these adepts of the cult of Lindsey Graham.

Beatings and mass casualties in the 225th assault regiment.
Soldier Oleg Seryk has been sharing these photos and videos the past 5 days on Instagram. He says that the commanders of the 225th forbid the 'hundreds of bodies' lying in the forests of Huliapole from being retrieved. missing in action, meaning that relatives receive no compensation payments for killed soldiers.

The musical initiations for soldiers in the 425th assault regiment.
This unit is famous for mass battlefield casualties in suicide missions and systematic beatings, torture, and killings of their own troops.
The troops are largely forcibly mobilized old men and drug addicts, y in their methadone replacement clinics. In the second video, you can see a 'happily dancing' old man start coughing out of exhaustion. There have been dozens of deaths from tuberculosis in this unit this year.
