According to the fake referendum, 90% of voters in occupied Oleshky voted for Russia. Yesterday, 73% chose evacuation to Ukraine.

🇫🇷🇺🇦 French volunteer Thibault Lambert has reportedly been killed while defending Ukraine against Russia's invasion.
He left the safety of his homeland to stand alongside Ukrainians fighting for their freedom.
His reported death is still awaiting independent confirmation.
If confirmed, France will have lost another brave son, and Ukraine another brother-in-arms.
Honor, respect, and eternal gratitude to those who risk everything for Ukraine.

Exactly six years ago. 2020. The 21st century. Minsk, #Belarus. A veritable safari against Belarusians in Kurapaty — the site of mass executions of Belarusians in the 1930s and 1940s.
Back then, I called on the EU🇪🇺 to impose tough sanctions in response to this barbarity. They did not.
Today, the number of victims of repression by the Lukashenka regime — Stalin’s ideological heir — runs into the hundreds of thousands.

3 autobus semivuoti arrivano in Russia da Oleshky. Qualcuno avrà i parenti in Russia, qualcuno sarà realmente convinto dalla propaganda russa. Una loro scelta. Niente bandiere e sorrisi d pianti, come in Ucraina
Il fatto che in nessuna delle manifestazioni in cui si inneggia ai popoli oppressi (?) compaia anche un solo brandello della bandiera ucraina, la dice lunghissima sull'idiozia ipocrita dei molti e sulla malafede dei pochi che li manovrano.

After several years under the boot of Russian brutality, survivors from Ukraine's Russian occupied city of Oleshky are greeted along the route after arriving in Free Ukraine.

JD Vance's cousin, Nate Vance: I came to Ukraine to do humanitarian work. Then I saw how the Russians behaved.
Bucha is what pushed me to join the Ukrainian army.
I was there after its liberation. I decided: if I found a unit, I would go and serve. 1/

17 busloads of ordinary people from the Ukrainian town of Oleshky, who had been on the brink of starvation under Russian occupation, chose to evacuate to Ukrainian-controlled territory.
Only 4 busloads chose to go to Russia.
That, pretty much, tells you everything you need to know about what Ukrainians want, even after all these years of this inhumane war.

Le forze russe hanno iniziato a trasferire civili da Oleshky occupata verso la Russia, apparentemente ignorando gli accordi precedentemente annunciati che regolano l'operazione.
Le operazioni sono condotte dall'esercito russo, senza la presenza di rappresentanti americani o dei mediatori di entrambe le parti. L'agenzia di stampa statale russa TASS sta candidamente filmando l'operazione.
Non vi è alcuna indicazione che ai civili sia stata offerta una scelta su dove desiderano recarsi. Non sono visibili autobus o altri veicoli designati per trasportare gli evacuati verso il territorio controllato dall'Ucraina.
L'operazione solleva gravi preoccupazioni sul fatto che la Russia stia ancora una volta sfruttando un'evacuazione umanitaria per deportare civili ucraini.
I paralleli con l'evacuazione dell'impianto siderurgico Azovstal di Mariupol sono inquietanti. Ancora una volta, Mosca viola accordi mentre controlla il destino dei civili ucraini.
Russian forces have begun taking civilians from occupied Oleshky to Russia, apparently disregarding previously announced agreements governing the operation.
The operations are being conducted by the Russian military, without American representatives or teams from either side’s ombudsman office present. Russia’s state news agency TASS is openly filming the operation.
There is no indication that civilians are being given a choice of where they wish to go. No buses or other vehicles designated to transport evacuees to Ukrainian-controlled territory are visible.
The operation raises serious concerns that Russia is once again exploiting a humanitarian evacuation to forcibly transfer Ukrainian civilians.
The parallels with the evacuation of Mariupol’s Azovstal steel plant are disturbing. Once again, Moscow appears to be disregarding agreed procedures while controlling the fate of Ukrainian civilians.

Tizio con la bandiera russa si chiede cosa ci faccia l’Italia in Bosnia.
L’Italia partecipa alla missione europea EUFOR Althea, che serve a mantenere la PACE e impedire un nuovo conflitto come quello degli anni ’90.
Chi sta minacciando questa stabilità?
Al momento, Milorad Dodik, alleato di Putin e leader storico della Republika Srpska, che vuole separare dalla Bosnia. Nel 2025 ha cercato di cacciare magistratura e polizia statale dal territorio. Quando hanno provato ad arrestarlo, i suoi agenti armati hanno minacciato di usare la forza. La Russia lo sostiene, e Dodik ha persino chiesto ai russi di bloccare la missione militare europea tramite l’ONU.
Quindi, mentre i nostri militari sono lì per evitare un’altra guerra, gli amici di Putin fanno di tutto per destabilizzare il Paese. E, guarda caso, quelli con la bandierina russa chiedono cosa ci facciamo in Bosnia.

At this point, the Ukrainians should just use the Shaggy-Rikrok strategy of saying to the US: 'It wasn't me'
A few weeks ago, the Spectre 33 Special Unit which belongs to Ukraine's HUR MO has published the so far best images of a Naval SOF unit I've seen so far. The soldiers are armed with HK416 assault rifles, of which Germany has officially delivered 4,750 as of April 2025.
However, my research — I published a detailed article in August — shows that Germany must have delivered several thousand additional HK416s to Ukraine since the German government stopped disclosing its military assistance.
