More than 200 Ukrainian POWs have been killed in russian captivity.
They survived the battlefield. They did not survive russian captivity.
Their deaths demand justice. russia must be held accountable.

It’s a remarkable coincidence that SpaceX discovered and closed a “loophole” in a way that severely harmed Ukraine in the very same week that the White House had a dispute with Ukraine. Just astonishing luck that SpaceX lawyers got to the issue at the very same time by chance!
Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.

The US is willing to betray its closest allies in Europe, a market of 450 million people and an economy worth nearly $20 trillion, just to cut shady, corrupt deals with Putin's Russia, an economy roughly the size of Italy's.
What an absolutely insane foreign policy.

A small campaign you can join and make a difference — helping to save lives at the front. And the patches are nice.

In extreemrechtse en pro-Kremlinmiddens keren steeds dezelfde argumenten terug:
* Zelensky is een drugsverslaafde clown. Verdachtmakingen zonder bewijs.
* Oekraïne is corrupt. Alsof corruptie een invasie rechtvaardigt.
* Maidan was een CIA-coup. Een volksopstand wordt verdraaid tot een westers complot.
* Oekraïne wordt bestuurd door nazi’s. Extreemrechts bestaat, maar bestuurt het land niet.
* De NAVO provoceerde Rusland. De soevereiniteit van buurlanden wordt gemakshalve genegeerd.
* Oekraïne bombardeerde acht jaar zijn eigen bevolking. Het leed in de Donbas wordt misbruikt en de Russische rol gebagatelliseerd.
* Zelensky werd door Boris Johnson gedwongen door te vechten. Een betwist verhaal wordt als bewezen feit verkocht.
* Poetin moest wel reageren. Alsof invasie en annexatie onvermijdelijk waren.
De rode draad? Oekraïense fouten worden uitvergroot, Russische agressie wordt goedgepraat en het slachtoffer krijgt de schuld van de dader. Dat is geen kritische analyse, maar propaganda die Poetins imperialisme een excuus probeert te geven.

The rewriting of 2016 needs challenging.
❌ The referendum ballot did NOT ask: “Should Britain end freedom of movement?”
It asked whether Britain should remain in or leave the EU.
Nothing about leaving the Single Market.
Nothing about the customs union.
Nothing about ending free movement.
And during the referendum prominent Brexit campaigners openly cited Norway and Switzerland as models for Britain outside the EU.
🇳🇴 Norway is in the Single Market and accepts free movement.
The Leave coalition contained several completely different versions of Brexit. The public was never asked to choose between them.
So it is simply not accurate to retrospectively turn 17.4 million Leave votes into 17.4 million votes specifically against free movement.
That interpretation came afterwards.
And if Britain is now deciding what relationship it wants with Europe, voters are perfectly entitled to decide again with the actual choices made explicit.
Replying to @Femi_sorry
7⃣ Nigel Farage passionately defended the idea that we could be like Norway, a Single Market country, in 2016.

This past week alone, Russia has launched around 1,600 guided aerial bombs, 48 missiles of various types, including ballistic missiles, and nearly 2,300 attack drones against Ukraine. Unfortunately, almost every day, these brutal strikes leave people killed and injured. In the evening, Russian strikes on the Dnipro region killed four people. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 22 people were injured, including an 11-year-old girl. In Vinnytsia, a Russian drone struck a high-rise apartment building. Six people were injured. In Kharkiv, the Russians first struck a home improvement hypermarket and then carried out a cynical double-tap strike on the emergency services that arrived at the scene. First responders were injured. There were also strikes overnight on a thermal power plant, substations, coal mines, grain storage facilities, shopping malls, and a postal logistics hub. Damage has been reported in nine regions.
This is how Russia responds to diplomacy and deisolation. And it is very important that support for those who protect lives not diminish alongside the negotiation process. We need to unblock the deliveries of Patriot interceptors already approved by European countries. We need to continue supporting Ukrainian combat aviation to defend against jet-powered “shaheds.” Every such defense package, especially ahead of winter, helps save lives. I thank all partners who provide this kind of support.

This is the biggest corruption scandal in American history. The Trump crime family is trying to sell the future natural gas rights of Alaska to the Russians in exchange for $25 billion in cash for themselves today.

In 1993 had ik een zaak in Litouwen. Ik sprak er met tal van mensen, bezocht musea en hoorde verhalen die me zijn bijgebleven. De Sovjet-Unie was net uiteengevallen en mensen durfden eindelijk weer vrijuit te spreken over wat hun was aangedaan.
Na de Sovjetannexatie volgden repressie, russificatie, censuur en massadeportaties. Boeken werden vernietigd. Intellectuelen, politieke tegenstanders en vermeende staatsvijanden werden naar Siberië gedeporteerd, vaak onder omstandigheden die hun overlevingskansen dramatisch verkleinden. Hele gezinnen werden ontworteld. Een volk moest niet alleen zijn vrijheid inleveren, maar zag ook zijn nationale identiteit en cultuur onder druk gezet.
En toch hoor je hier mensen doodleuk beweren dat Oekraïne zich maar moet overgeven. Op basis waarvan eigenlijk? Welke garantie bestaat er dat overgave duurzame vrede brengt, dat de bezetter de Oekraïense identiteit respecteert of dat de bevolking haar vrijheid behoudt?
Wie de geschiedenis van de Baltische staten kent, weet dat Russische overheersing geen abstract geopolitiek begrip is. Ze heeft concrete gevolgen gehad voor miljoenen mensen. Litouwers, Letten en Esten weten uit ervaring waarom onafhankelijkheid geen luxe is, maar een fundamenteel recht dat je niet zomaar opgeeft.
Wie Oekraïne tot overgave maant zonder die geschiedenis ernstig te nemen, doet geen realistisch vredesvoorstel. Diegene schuift de risico's en de mogelijke gevolgen van bezetting gewoon door naar de Oekraïners zelf. Het is gemakkelijk om andermans vrijheid op te offeren wanneer je zelf niet onder de bezetter hoeft te leven.
En laten we ook niet doen alsof de geschiedenis ophoudt bij de grens van Oekraïne. De Baltische staten hebben hun onafhankelijkheid niet herwonnen om ooit opnieuw onder Russische heerschappij te belanden. Hun historische ervaringen verklaren hun veiligheidszorgen. Die wegwuiven zonder de feiten te kennen, is geen realisme, maar historische blindheid.
Ik raad iedereen die zo gemakkelijk over Oekraïense overgave praat aan om zich eerst grondig in de geschiedenis te verdiepen. Lees de getuigenissen van overlevenden. Bestudeer de deportaties en de Sovjetrepressie. En stel jezelf vervolgens één ongemakkelijke vraag: zou je zelf bereid zijn je vrijheid, je taal en de toekomst van je kinderen op te geven omdat anderen dat de gemakkelijkste weg naar vrede vinden?
Een vrede die wordt afgedwongen door de vrijheid van het slachtoffer op te offeren, verdient kritische toetsing. Niet de Oekraïners moeten zich verantwoorden omdat ze hun land en vrijheid verdedigen. Wie hun overgave eist, moet uitleggen welke concrete garanties die overgave biedt en wie de prijs betaalt als die garanties niets waard blijken.

Lula victory speech:
"We had to overcome foreign interference through digital platforms, which we will have to regulate.
We cannot have monstrously huge corporations earning millions & billions, paying no taxes to this country & trying to steer this country's election results."

Just to be clear, as I don’t see a lot of folks pointing this out or acknowledging this: Bolsonaro also formally asked for polling stations to be kept open another two hours!
This is a former PM of the UK comparing our country to the USSR.
The USSR which killed an estimated 15 million of its own people, forced 6 million to migrate, and sent 18 million to Gulags, THAT USSR.
I call on .@andyburnham to strip traitor .@trussliz of her ex-PM stipend.

Finding Andrew: The Kiwi hero killed in Ukraine 🇺🇦🇳🇿
Dr Andrew Bagshaw, a New Zealander, travelled to Ukraine in 2022 to do something extraordinary: save people trapped in towns and cities under Russian attack.
He rescued more than 500 people before disappearing during another dangerous humanitarian mission. He put his own life on the line to save strangers — people he had never met, but whose lives mattered to him.
In Finding Andrew, award-winning investigative documentary maker Bryan Bruce retraces Andrew’s steps and uncovers a deeply troubling story.
The Ukrainian people will always be grateful to Andrew for choosing not to watch Russia’s war against Ukraine from the safety of Christchurch, 17,000 kilometres away, but to come to Ukraine and help those whose lives were at risk.
Andrew’s story is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments of war, there are people who choose courage, compassion and humanity over indifference.
🎥 Please watch and share Finding Andrew.

Russian mercenaries have turned African farmlands into rape sites, massacred villagers to seize gold, and tortured those who speak out. I’ve documented the crimes. They had me arrested and tortured for it. I won’t stop. Help me continue. Please donate

Reaction to the Vivek advert should be a warning to UK politicians as our politics heads increasingly into the mud. Likely given partisan identity/polarisation are lower in the UK, that British voters would react even worse and punish even more attacks/slurs that cross the line.
NEW: We convened a group of ten Ohio Trump voters.
Half were supportive of Vivek. Half were luke warm.
We played them the ad.
You will not wanna miss the results

🚨 This is getting seriously dangerous.
The @BBC is withdrawing educational material on climate change and migration following accusations of political bias.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT A POLITICAL OPINION.
It's established science.
MIGRATION IS A FACT OF HUMAN HISTORY.
Its economic, social and cultural contributions are documented, as are the challenges it can create. Immigration policy is open to debate, but children deserve to understand the evidence, not have political uncomfortable facts filtered out.
Political impartiality must never mean treating established evidence as ideology.
Education should teach children to examine reality critically, not sanitise it to avoid political controversy.

🚨 #BREAKING: Lula has won re-election as Brazil's president, in a stunning upset against conservative Flávio Bolsonaro, son of disgraced former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving 27 years in prison for a coup attempt. Liberals stacking wins in the US has bled abroad.
