The Editor-in-Chief of Euromaidan Press, Alya Shandra, speaks with Danish military analyst Anders Puck Nielsen, who discusses Ukraine's struggle against Russian imperialism. He warns that Russian control over Ukrainian territories would allow further aggression and weaken European defence. Nielsen advocates for a European-centred security framework for Ukraine, urging reliance on Europe for defence and industry, rather than depending on unpredictable U.S. support.
As always, Zelensky shows that he has class, and no, you don't need to have a suit for that. He didn't fall for the interviewer's traps, like when he was asked if he thought the ambush on him at the White House was pre-planned.
And as for Lindsey Graham... He may support Ukraine, but he sucks more than an industrial vacuum cleaner.
No problem. The interviewer was quite respectful for a Fox News "journalist". But there were a couple of questions designed to get Zelensky to say something that would upset the MAGA base. One was whether he thought Trump had become Putin's lapdog (as one Democrat had stated). Zelensky skilfully answered the questions without really giving the interviewer the result he was trying to get.
He's been doing one of the toughest jobs on the planet for three years and he still has the energy and motivation to stand tall and motivate his country to keep fighting, against a power that on paper should be able to take over his country in a matter of months (thank goodness for Russian corruption and incompetence, which saved Ukraine from an even worse situation). He has my utmost admiration.

In the latest episode of Silicon Curtain, Jonathan Fink examines Igor Girkin (Strelkov), a key figure behind Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Imprisoned for criticizing the military and leadership, Girkin's letters predict Russia’s collapse, failure to achieve its goals, and internal unrest. Despite North Korean support, Girkin doubts Russia's victory, forecasting a bleak 2025 with no resolution.
I'm still curious as to how many of the men and women in the military will honour the oath they took to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The domestic enemy is pretty clear, but they and their sycophants are in control.
In this new video, Perun discusses Ukraine's remarkable success in the Black Sea, focusing on its use of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and drones to counter Russia's naval superiority. Despite limited resources, Ukraine's USVs and Neptune missiles have weakened Russia's Black Sea Fleet. These attacks have forced Russia into a defensive posture, allowing Ukraine to secure vital shipping lanes and maintain grain exports, reshaping regional naval power.
This walk-through of Putin's palace (yes, it's 7+ months old) reveals its true purpose as a private residence, not the "apartment hotel" initially claimed. The opulent complex, costing over 100 billion rubles, includes a theatre, gym, private chapel, underground hockey rink, and luxurious apartments for Putin and Alina Kabaeva. Funded by state-owned companies, it raises concerns of corruption, secrecy, and inequality. It would be tragic if GUR destroyed it.

Many nations don't take the protection of their civilians seriously. But the leaders, well... They need a bunker so they can lead what's left of the population. Case in point...
That's when he severed his spine and broke his watch. But at least he's like his watch... Sometimes he's right.
In this case, he's trying to help Ukraine by pandering to Trump's ego of making great deals. Like you, I hate to see Trump and his sycophants take over power in the USA, but we have to use this approach to get Trump to make some somewhat sensible decisions. Cater to his ego with something that sounds like he's a great leader if he makes the right decisions.
