Ban them, ban them all. No visas for ORCs in any liberal democracy. They need to be isolated until they decide to have a society that doesn’t constantly threaten their neighbours. They say they’re self sufficient and superior, so let them be.
Dublin-based singer Steve Soul was performing a Ukrainian song on the street when a Russian man interrupted him and said the singer would soon be singing the Russian anthem. Steve pushed him away, but the man kept threatening him for some time.

WAR CRIME. Can anybody advise on the appropriate channel to submit this as evidence? I have the entire attack on a power station on video, just by chance. For obvious security reasons, restrictions prevent me from publishing it. The footage shows what appears to be a multilayered attack on an energy facility, and I believe it could be important evidence. DM me👍
Several explosions as Russia obliterate the power station in Dnipro on the left bank. Ongoing, Secondary Explosions and now jet drones.

Russia attacks a hospice Of course it does
Russia launches missile strike on hospice in Dnipro “I want as many people as possible to see these photos right now, especially politicians and diplomats, particularly those abroad. This is a hospice in Dnipro. These are elderly, terminally ill people. And this is a Russian missile. The whole world needs to see this,” Dnipro Mayor Borys Filatov wrote on social media on Tuesday, sharing images showing the aftermath of the attack. According to Oleksandr Hanzha, head of the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Administration, there were about 100 people receiving care at the facility; none of them were injured. Filatov noted that approximately 50 terminally ill patients had to be relocated to other medical institutions, the oldest among them is 90 years old. Hanzha added that at least 17 people were injured in the attack on Dnipro.

If you ask Chay commie Bowes these people were beaten to within an inch of their lives and had "eyes gouge out" literally what he said. Idiots online love to sensationalise bullshit.
Replying to @francisjfarrell
The story of the "tortured guys" that the mob kept demanding to be brought out took on a life of its own, and when they finally came out, they honestly looked fine, confused more than anything. Note the same fake medic already dropping her mask and livestreaming.

This is why I love the UK; we all agree when HM Government decided to jump over a cliff and commit suicide. The UK has, with Airbus UK in Stevenage all it takes to keep a key capability in the UK, ITAR-free, and also in EUROPE. Even if it does cost more now, it will pay in the future. UK has large medium satellites with Airbus and Surrey Space Technologies and micro satellites with Clyde Space in Glasgow. Alongside them, a plethora of companies are working on different subsystems. Write to your MP and stamp your feet; this is the time to do it. Made in the UK.
Despite a direction from me when Defence Secretary that the Skynet 6A , £2bn contract was too important to the UK space industry to offshore to Lockheed Martin it looks as if Wes is preparing to place the contract overseas. The damage it would do to Stevenage and the UK satellite industry would be irreversible and it was always assessed it could mean the end of the sector. Lockheed’s promises of factories in Newcastle were skin deep. The differences between types on offer were marginal. No.10 could, and should stop this. @AirbusDefence @wesstreeting @larisamlbrown @kevinbonavia @haynesdeborah

One of Germany’s largest automotive suppliers is axing 3,500 jobs and will close four German sites as the crisis engulfing the country’s flagship industry deepens.  Germany’s automotive industry was one of the backbones of European manufacturing but now is in decline. This was caused by multiple factors including a shift to electric vehicles, high labour costs, aggressive new competitors from China and lacklustre demand for new cars across the continent.

Сьогодні наші цвинтарі світяться тисячами вогників. Напередодні Дня всіх святих люди приходять до могил рідних і близьких, запалюють лампадки та згадують тих, кого вже немає поруч. Це давня традиція. Кожен вогник – знак любові та пам’яті, яка не згасає. Особливо щемливо сьогодні дивитися на ці вогники біля могил наших Захисників і Захисниць. Світла пам’ять усім, кого більше немає з нами🕯️ Фото: Роман Балук

Trumps “blood fuel” can’t seem to find a home🤔
🧵Three blacklisted supertankers holding 140,000 tons of Russian fuel are drifting in circles in the Atlantic because the White House begged US traders to buy Putin's diesel, and literally zero buyers answered the phone. 1/🧵

Ukraine has resumed its attacks on Russian oil refineries: the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in the Samara region—one of the largest in the area—has been targeted. A major fire is raging at the site, and thick black smoke is rising over the city.

Very true. 👇🏻 The Ukrainians have woken us up to the grim reality of our underinvestment in the military. With their blood, they've bought us time. Their fight is our fight. This 10 billion investment was the right call, we now need to get the military budget where it needs to be
Domestic reporting is missing the importance of this - the £10bn could have taken UK defence spending to 3%, instead we have given it to Ukraine, and made the calulation that their survival is more important in the short term. Its bold and courageous.

Was Musk’s humanitarian stance and reinforcement of contract terms in Ukraine just a cover for an old-fashioned shake-down by a monopoly?

I know things. Yes, a vague post. It's not good. It is in no way related to Ukraine or Russia. The world is about to change for the worse. We've warned about this for years. Hopefully, someone will take a stand. If you watch carefully, the signs are there.

Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Tesco are making £4bn a year in profit. About 50% of their staff are on Universal Credit. Why don't we crackdown on this unneeded benefit for billionaires?

This Irishman is proud of UK’s support of Ukraine @PaulNiland, and proud of the small part I have played in that support. 🇺🇦🤝🇬🇧 We are the main bastards 👊🇬🇧
I want to thank successive governments in the UK for standing with Ukraine and being such staunch supporters and partners. Thank you to the good people of the UK.

The barbarian in the Kremlin destroyed more innocents this morning The US calls him a humanitarian
A horrific Russian strike on the railway station in Dnipro. The Russians launched a drone attack on a platform where an ordinary commuter train and a scheduled passenger train were standing. Unfortunately, 13 people have been confirmed killed as of now. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Ten more people were injured. All necessary emergency services are working at the scene. Just how many terrorist strikes has Russia carried out against our people since sanctions were lifted on certain Russian oligarchs and the Russian energy sector, rather than de-escalating? This is precisely why Ukraine has always said that just and decisive action by America and Europe is needed in response to Russian escalation – sanctions against Moscow and its war machine must not be eased for as long as this Russian war continues. It is time for new, stronger sanctions steps by the EU, the United States, and the G7. I thank everyone who is ready to help in this way.

Watch developments closely. I find it odd that Russia even has a human rights commissioner frankly, I certainly didn’t see one while I was being electrocuted, beaten and sentenced to death. There’s an irony in portraying yourself as a humanitarian while standing amid the chaos and death your country helped orchestrate.
Humanitarian Mission in Oleshky: Delivering Humanitarian Aid to Everyone in Need ℹ️ We are currently in Armiansk, working alongside Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova and coordinating further steps within the framework of this mission. Journalists from three countries have also joined us to cover the mission. Everything has now been prepared to a high standard. We are delivering humanitarian aid to the residents of Oleshky. Our main task is to ensure that this assistance reaches every person in need. Particular attention is being paid to older people, persons with disabilities, and anyone who is unable to care for themselves due to their health condition or other circumstances. Twenty-five buses with a total capacity of 750 passengers have been prepared, along with ambulances for people with limited mobility. ❗️Another equally important priority is ensuring that civilians have the opportunity to leave the city. Everyone who wishes to leave Oleshky will be given the opportunity to do so safely. At the same time, those who decide to remain will be able to stay and will receive all the necessary humanitarian assistance. At this stage, it is equally important that both sides observe the ceasefire. I would also like to express my special gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We continue our work. I thank Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova for her cooperation in carrying out this mission. ☝️Special thanks to U.S. @FLOTUS for her mediation and coordination efforts. Our work is ongoing. I will keep you informed about further steps and results.
