Watch to the end!

Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings.

This happened in Alaska. Polar Train LNG's CEO, Joel Riddle, stepped that the Russian "Novatek" company, which is under US sanctions, has been involved in a $25 billion energy project in Alaska. The CEO thought that he was working with Gentry Beach, a close friend of Donald Trump Junior.

Reportedly, that project was also discussed between Witkoff and Jared Kushner when they were with Putin. The White House admitted that the project was talked about "briefly".

We are witnessing the greatest corruption scandal the USA has ever witnessed. It all leads to Trump, his family and the Russians, and apparently they were even ready to sell riches of Alaska to the Russians.

The people in Alaska just need to look over to Russia, where the richest regions in terms of minerals and hydrocarbon resources have been stripped-mined, transferring all the wealth to Moscow and Saint Petersburg and leaving a scarred landscape in extreme poverty. That is the result of rampant corruption.

We are starting to see more details why Trump and his friends are trying so strongly to bully Ukraine into surrender. This is most certainly only the tip of the iceberg.

Another painful loss for Ukrainian sport 🕯️

A Russian drone strike in the settlement of Chabany in the Kyiv region killed 19-year-old Vitalii Marchenko.

Russia attacked the settlement in broad daylight.
The young man ended up at the site of the attack while he was on his way to friend…

From childhood, Vitalii loved football very much and was in Shakhtar’s training camp. He played at the regional level for the team SC “Renet.”

In 2023, Vitalii moved with his mother to the Czech Republic, but later returned to Ukraine.
After returning to Ukraine, he began training in mixed martial arts.

“He knew how to make sure no one cried. On the contrary — everyone would laugh. He brought joy with him — that’s the kind of person he was,” recalls his cousin Vlad.

Condolences to his family and loved ones…
Eternal memory…

This morning in Kherson, Russians killed a dog with a drone, added a pop music soundtrack and posted it to their channels.

Video probably can't be shown on this platform, but to fully understand Russian culture, the nation now allied with and aided by the White House and the Tesla car company and X, the vid is up on Exilenova Telegram.

UK crime was four times higher when Oasis first played Knebworth than at last year’s reunion gigs.

The collapse of crime and safer streets is one of the biggest stories of our time.

But one almost never told - or believed.

My take on today’s figures: comment.press/lawless

That’s one of many things “the Humanitarian” caused: thousands of people who not just get killed but also didn’t get a grave with a name.

You die - and you just get bulldozed with your home. Or dogs eat your body. Or you’re marked as “unknown babushka”.

Damned ruzzia…

The first photo shows New York after 9/11. The second photo shows Bakhmut after russia’s invasion.

In the first photo, terrorists were at work. In the second, humanitarians.

Don’t get them mixed up.

As Ukrainian Forces continue to liberate territory, residents return back to their homes to find all the hallmarks of Russian culture, looting, drunkenness and death.

The town of Sudenok.

"I had never wanted to kill a single human being. I had never felt anything like that. Pure revenge."

Asked about his hardest day of the last four years, President Zelenskyy says it was Bucha. He says he had never seen people's bodies scattered on the street in his entire life, erything changed completely.

He also recalls an elderly man in Bucha who had survived the town's occupation during World War II: "He said the fascists never treated people like that."

@ZelenskyyUa

russia must answer for every life it has stolen.

Bucha. It was a genocide, recognized by everyone. They buried hundreds of people. They tortured people. We found the grave. There were, I believe, around 500 people. When we liberated those towns near Kyiv, there emerged this, you know, this kind of hatred for the Russians, right at that moment. Not even at the moment when they started the full-scale war. Back then nobody understood what it really was yet. People understood what this war was and what Putin did personally when we found those mass graves of tortured adults, children. I mean they didn't just kill them, they tortured and killed them.

When we liberated Bucha, I said, bring every journalist here. Don't touch anything, just bring the journalists. The whole world simply has to see this. Imagine finding a mass grave in the U.S. or in Britain, God forbid, with 500 tortured people, adults, kids, dogs, animals shot dead. I mean, they held hunting sprees there from military vehicles. People were running, they were shooting, just hunting, playing games. They literally just played with people, like slavery. So how, after this, can you listen to Putin? And how, after this, can you forgive?

#Banksy #Musk...

“What is it mein Fuhrer?”
“It’s from Steve Witkoff. He’s nominated me for the Nobel Peace Prize.”

Calling Putin a humanitarian is like calling Epstein a protector of children.

Three waves of ballistic missiles have been launched at Kyiv by Russian “humanitarians” since yesterday evening. They used 21 missiles. Unfortunately, numerous sites across the city have been hit and damaged: ordinary residential buildings, energy facilities, infrastructure at ions and the metro, shopping malls, and businesses. Even a monastery is among the damaged sites. Our emergency services are working at all the affected locations. Twelve of our regions came under Russian attack overnight. In Kyiv and across the regions, 34 people were injured, including five children. As of now, two people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones.

Almost immediately after another round of talks, Russia launched a pointed attack. This means there has been no real change in its attitude toward everything that is happening. It is important to keep trying to find the right solutions to end this war. But when Russia responds to negotiations with ballistic missiles, real pressure on Russia is needed to bring about different steps – steps toward ending the killing. Stronger air defenses and the rapid delivery of missiles, the ability to destroy ballistic missile launchers, sanctions over the war – all of this must be in place. I am grateful to everyone who sees the situation for what it is and acknowledges the reality. The aggressor deserves to be treated accordingly. Ukraine deserves support. People's lives deserve protection. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

A year old Angelina that was killed by russia drone in Nova Vodolaga, her mother and two other victims had their funerals today.

I have a one year old child myself together with other two daughters, it's heartbreaking to watch.

In Donbas war, the civilian suffering started on April 17, 2014, with the first civilian victim, a local politician Volodymyr Rybak (42), killed by Russians for trying to hoist a Ukrainian flag in his town.

Russian forces detained him, tortured, slit his stomach and pushed into asha (14) saw the picture of his tormented body online. I will not describe what it did to a 14-year-old child. Twelve years later, Masha’s mom is still putting together her broken soul.

On July 23, 2014, Styopa Chubenko (16), a talented sportsman and poet, was arrested in Donbas for wearing a blue-and-yellow ribbon. He was beaten mercilessly. His body was found months later, with his arms bound behind his back. All teeth in his skull were missing, from daylong beating.

Just recently, a Russian soldier and author Daniil Tulenkov described how his army comrades entered a house in Ukraine’s South and then raped the owner and his wife, forcing their minor children to watch.

Multiply this by hundreds, and you will see what Ukrainian children must endure. The Rybak family, Styopa Chubenko, the horrifying Tulenkov testimony – these cases were fact-checked and corroborated, including by Russians, one way or another. And there are many more….

WSJ: Musk personally restricted Ukraine’s Starlink access without coordinating with Trump.

Another account says Musk spoke with Trump and senior administration officials before the slowdown. Trump said he doesn’t know who ordered the restriction. 1/

“I saw hacksaws, chainsaws, axes, and machetes there. Everything was covered in blood.”

Ukrainian military medic Yuriy Armash describes the terror inside Russian torture chambers.

Ukrainian military medic Yuriy Armash spent more than a year in Russian captivity. Among other one of the most notorious torture facilities in the Kherson region, established by Russian occupiers inside a seized police station in Nova Kakhovka.

There, he learned the stories of many people and witnessed how the Russians’ system of terror against local civilians operated.

How Russians torture prisoners

“The interrogations began on the very first day. They were conducted by the same FSB officers. During interrogations, they covered my face and handcuffed my hands behind my back.

They asked where the weapons were, how many people were in our reconnaissance group, where our positions were, where we had come from, and what our mission was.

They used an awl. They would pull the skin on my neck, pierce it, and leave the awl hanging there so I could feel it.

Because I wasn’t telling them what they wanted to hear, since I couldn’t tell them something that didn’t exist, they started using a knife. They stabbed me in the leg. They would take a knife and press it into my upper leg until they felt the blade reach the bone.

When the Russians realized they weren’t going to get an answer, they used a ‘Tapik,’ a military field telephone. They attached its wires to my ears and kept turning the crank, sending electric shocks through my body until I started screaming.”

How Russian occupiers abused civilians

“Starting April 20, they began taking me out to provide medical assistance to civilians who had been severely beaten by the Russians.

I remember treating a woman who was about 40 years old in one of the two punishment cells in the basement. I bandaged her head because she had been beaten with a rubber baton.

There were all kinds of injuries. They broke people’s legs. Men under the age of 35–40 were treated particularly brutally.”

A room filled with blood-covered torture instruments

“I never expected the level of brutality I witnessed after February 24. Although I had seen many things before that, I was honestly shocked.

At the Nova Kakhovka police station, I entered rooms where I saw things that absolutely terrified me.

I saw hacksaws, chainsaws, axes, and machetes. Everything was covered in blood.

The room with the blood-covered torture instruments was on the second floor of the police station, in the left wing. It was just an ordinary office.

But there were also more secret rooms in the building where they never even took me.

At the police station, the occupiers also forcibly removed tattoos they didn’t like from the bodies of detained civilians.

Some had their tattoos cut out with knives. Others had them burned off with potassium permanganate.

Russian occupiers raped even children

“When Buryats and Kalmyks were stationed at the police department, they frequently entered the cells of young women under the age of 25–30.

They even sorted the women by age and placed them in separate cells.

From time to time, women were taken out of their cells and brought to another wing. The young women were taken there at night and raped.

When the Russians’ rotation was coming to an end, they sometimes entered the cells and raped the women right there.

My cell was nearby. I could hear everything clearly…

The worst case involved a 14-year-old girl whom the Russians were holding captive.

She tried very hard to hide the fact that she had been raped.

One day, when we were taken outside for a walk, I noticed that she was bleeding.

I asked her what had happened. She didn’t want to answer.

I asked, ‘Did Russian soldiers do this to you?’

She silently lowered her head.

I assured her that no one except me would ever know about it.

After that, she answered:

‘Yes.’”
