Good!
Three Russian shadow fleet tanker loaded with Russian diesel have altered course and won't be shipping to the US coast. The "Agioi Fenandes" (IMO: 9798375) and "Talisman" (IMO: 9292060) switched their destination to "For Orders", meaning that they are actively looking for buyers. The "Leruo" (MO: 9385831) has set course for Brazil, while also looking for buyers. Source is "Marinetraffic". It looks like that the Trump-Putin scheme has fallen apart the moment the midterms were lost for Trump. What a surprise..

Victoria Spartz, the first Ukrainian-born member of the U.S. Congress, lost her reelection bid today. Born in Ukraine’s Chernihiv region, which continues to face relentless russian attacks, Spartz became a MAGA Republican and voted against a major aid package for Ukraine in 2024. It takes a special kind of person to betray two countries at once.

⚡️ Ukraine’s Security Service has charged Yulia Mendel, President Zelenskyy’s former press secretary, in absentia with high treason. Mendel, who served from 2019 to 2021, is accused of spreading Kremlin propaganda and justifying Russian aggression.

A really important mobilisation and demonstration in support of independent public media in Czechia. I truly believe this has a chance of success against the government. Please share and amplify!
Musicians from the Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra (SOČR) play as Czech Radio / @CRozhlas staff and supporters set off em masse for Wenceslas Square for this afternoon’s demonstration in support of independence for the country’s public broadcasters.

I spent much of the weekend reading about #Serbia, its students, their courage and mobilisation. And I kept thinking about #Belarus in 2020. Someone recently asked me why we didn't win. I am writing about it here: hannaliubakova.substack.com/…

Imagine taking on russian and German armies at the same time, driving them both out, and today leading the world’s security council. This is Latvia 🇱🇻🫡
Latvia has just assumed the Presidency of the United Nations Security Council for the first time. On this day in 1919, Latvian Colonel Krišjānis Berķis signed the order to launch a counteroffensive against German-Russian forces. After liberating Riga, Latvian forces went on to achieve full victory in the Latvian War of Independence, securing the sovereignty of their young republic in international law. 107 years later, this now enables Latvia to take a world leading role in standing up for the sovereign rights of all nations to exist in peace and security under international law.

“When Americans see what’s really happening on the ground in Ukraine, the Kremlin’s lies fall apart.” Shelby Wilder combats russian lies every day on conservative media. She knows that truth matters. And she’s not afraid to fight for it. That’s why I sat down with her Kyiv.

Proud and grateful that Ukraine has a friend like you, José. Thank you to you and the entire World Central Kitchen team for the warmth of your dishes and hearts.
As the great people of Oleshky arrived to Ukraine after a long trip @WCKitchen lead by Yuliya is ready with borscht, and many other Ukranian dishes! The route was long: from Oleshky through Crimea to Anapa in Russia, then a flight to Belarus and onward by road into Chernihiv region. After a journey like that, warm, good food matters a great deal. #ChefsForUkraine Proud that the teams were first in Irpin and Bucha, in Kherson….so many special powerful moments! now here…Ukrainians are the best of us!
