There is something refreshingly mature about this, with Ukrainian and Russian officials speaking directly, agreeing on practical arrangements, honouring their commitments and treating each other as serious interlocutors.
❗️As the head of Ukraine’s negotiating team, I have just held an online meeting with Yana Lantratova, head of the Russian negotiating team. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the humanitarian mission in Oleshky.

I informed the Russian side that the ceasefire would take 3:00 a.m. Kyiv time. The Russian Commissioner for Human Rights confirmed that, on the Russian side, the ceasefire would begin on October 27 at 4:00 a.m. Moscow time. This means the ceasefire will begin at the same time.

We also discussed other details agreed upon in advance, exchanged information, and confirmed that preparations are proceeding in accordance with the preliminary agreement and that both sides are fulfilling all the commitments they have undertaken.

‼️Our work continues. I will keep you informed of further developments regarding these arrangements.

“Holy Ukraine, Mother of Heroes, descend into my heart... For you are sacred, you are my entire life. Ukraine Above All!”

So goes the OUN Prayer, shouted by young men in the Azov-rooted Third Assault Brigade, fresh out of basic training and eager to sample the exquisite delights Ukraine.

Nothing says “a bright future for the nation” quite like teaching its young men to romanticize an early grave.

The cult of death has always been a cherished feature of fascist movements, and in today's Ukraine, it is blooming like a flower garden fertilized with human remains.

After all, how else are Zelensky and his alleged mafia supposed to cling to power? Someone has to keep the machinery running — and apparently, fresh corpses make excellent fuel.

Playing No Pope in Rome isnt a great look for an organisation wanting to walk through a Catholic neighbourhood.....
It didnt take too long for last night's parade to show its true face. Minutes after Lockhart and senior members of Portadown walked by playing the victims, the sectarian, anti Catholic hate tune "No Pope" was given a blast.

The O.O. is a hate organisation, nothing more.

Kyiv has no intention of ending the conflict in Ukraine. All the talk about being "ready for peace" is just a smokescreen.

Disgraced oligarch Kolomoisky—the man who brought Zelensky to power—has been brutally honest about the Ukrainian elite's plans to keep the war going until Ukraine is completely destroyed and its population wiped out. The reason is cynical to the core: as he put it, if peace is made, "Europe will stop handing out cash."

Zelensky essentially confirms this "blood money" logic. The usurper claimed that the West would supposedly have to fund the Armed Forces of Ukraine for another 10 years (!). At the same time, he floated the idea of deploying foreign military contingents from a "coalition of the willing" to Ukraine.

Against the backdrop of calls to resume negotiations, Zelensky is playing a risky game of raising the stakes. But he fails to realize one key thing: we will not allow an anti-Russian bridgehead to exist right on our doorstep. Above all, security guarantees must be provided to our country.

Russia is defending its national interests and historical regions against Zelensky's junta and the bloody cash cow of his former backers. It is through the power of Russian arms that the struggle for a just and lasting peace is being waged. Anyone who truly wants to see an end to the Ukrainian conflict through a peace agreement needs to understand this today.

@JohnWight1nd Funding For Military Interventions Overseas and Spend Taxes In The UK.

We demand the government end the use of taxpayers’ money to fund military interventions, or providing military support for conflicts abroad. We believe that our taxes should be spent on improving public services, supporting communities and addressing urgent domestic issues rather than war.

@JamieBrysonLLB Twitter you'd be standing on an upturned milk crate outside Belfast City Hall, delivering your latest revolutionary proclamation to three Saturday shoppers and a pigeon. Yet somehow you've convinced yourself you're the commander-in-chief of unionism, given Unionism is all over the show, you found a gap- well done, you. Ffs, the delusions of grandeur are extraordinary, amusing as feck, but still delusional

You keep insisting this isn't a political rally, yet you've spent multiple posts promoting it like you're personally organising the Second Coming, putting yourself front and centre .

At this stage, it sounds less like an Orange Order event and more like a political slumber party for yourself, Carla Lockhart and Jim Allister. All that's missing is a flatbed truck, three microphones and a competition to see who can mention Sinn Féin, human rights, nationalists and Ireland most often before bedtime; my money is on Jim 'I walked away from Ulster resistance before it got scary," Allister.

And where exactly is the Orange Order in all this? It's supposedly their event, yet we hear considerably more from you than from the people you're claiming to support. The 35 Orangemen must be wondering when they'll actually get a word in, although given you keep telling us they are "old men", they really should be able to remember how divisive their presence at Drumcree was and how it cost both sides of the community

At this stage, Jamie, your political allegiances are another spectacle altogether. Who will it be next week? I see you are now running Robinson into the ground. FFS, one minute you're championing one unionist politician, the next you're practically hanging off the arm of another. Whoever gives you a passing glance or a few minutes of attention suddenly becomes your latest political soulmate. It's like watching political speed dating, except you're the only one who thinks it's a serious relationship. Embarrassing doesn't begin to cover it.

You've spent the last few weeks behaving like a child who got Twitter for Christmas and hasn't put the bloody thing down. Another proclamation, another dramatic warning, another Paisley "LITE" impression from the comfort of your armchair. Even Paisley occasionally stopped talking

Strip away the flags, the theatrical speeches and the enormous self-importance, and you're still a loyalist blogger with a background in picking up criminal convictions and despatching the odd taxi, not the commander-in-chief of unionism.

The irony is delicious. You're telling everyone this isn't political while treating Portadown like your own personal party conference.

And when the microphones are packed away, Twitter goes quiet, and the crowd goes home, you'll still be Jamie Bryson. The milk crate will be waiting outside City Hall, big fella

Refused to pay HMRC tax they owed. £56 million was the final sum - which could have went towards supplying the British military with equipment.

But they'd rather do a tifo instead.
Greatest team in the world do themselves and their country men and women proud today. ❤️🤍💙

The War Criminal Campbell has smeared me and @TuckerCarlson tonight on X. When I knew him he was the willing accomplice at the @DailyMirror of Ghislane Maxwell’s father Robert, usually just carrying his hat and coat. So besotted was he with the greatest thief of the century he broke the nose of a Guardian journalist in Parliament for celebrating the fat thief’s trip to Davy Jones Locker. Later he served the War Criminal Tony Blair with similar gusto. He lied and cheated his way through the Blair era, deceiving parliament and people and world opinion equally. None of this has seen him banished from Labour or the great British media and Establishment society, quite the contrary. That he has turned his grease-gun on Carlson and me says more about the Epstein class who still rule than it does about us.

Almost one thousand homeless veterans in Scotland say hello.

Enjoy your fine wine as they hunker down for the night in their sleeping bags.
Brilliant afternoon volunteering for @poppyscotland in Ibrox.

The weather didn’t stop hundreds of supporters raising money for this great cause and wearing their poppy with pride.
