Now, if you donate 20$ to this fundraiser, you get a chance to win not only a Mala Tokmachka patch, but also the regiment flag which was provided by the soldiers. There will be not one, but two winners then.
I’ll see what other prizes I can give ;)
We are stuck at 50% for this fundraiser on a car for combat medics, any help is appreciated

This fundraising is asked for by a soldier I know personally - a medic from 434th unmanned systems regiment.
Any donation counts!
P.S. For US donors: donations from U.S. taxpayers to @freedombirds4ua are eligible for tax deductions

Putin needs war and has no intention of stopping. All of Russia’s contradictory and spurious statements to different audiences are distractions and should be ignored. Watch what he does, not what he says.
Появляется всё больше подробностей об интриге Путина, с расчётом на реализацию которой он согласился возобновить переговоры между США, Украиной и РФ. В Кремле начали говорить, что Европа должна быть включена в этот процесс и, более того, её участие будет иметь «решающее значение для достижения соглашения».
Источники издания The Telegraph говорят, что истинная цель Москвы — использовать следующий раунд переговоров для получения уступок по вопросу расширения НАТО. «Вероятно, Путин потребует сократить военное присутствие НАТО в Европе до уровня 1997 года — то есть до того, как бывшие страны Восточного блока начали вступать в альянс», — говорится в публикации.
По сути, это возвращение к тому самому печально известному «ультиматуму Лаврова», который Москва выдвинула накануне большой войны против Украины. Именно тогда Кремль потребовал «собирать манатки» и уходить из Восточной Европы. Это очередное подтверждение того, о чём я уже неоднократно писал. Путин хочет продолжать войну, а переговоры он будет торпедировать хождением по кругу, постоянно возвращаясь к своим безумным требованиям образца 2021–2022 годов.
Западу он будет рассказывать о недопустимости расширения НАТО, украинцам — морочить голову «денацификацией и демилитаризацией», выдвигая всё новые территориальные и политические требования. Читать безграмотные лекции о половцах и печенегах и бесконечно лгать.

Zelenskyy is now officially accusing the U.S. under Trump of helping Russia in the war against Ukraine—This betrayal will never be forgotten.
I stand with Ukraine.

But I do care about providing STING interceptors to Ukrainian defenders so they can defend the innocent.
So if you see this.

A new nuclear power station in England has been branded a "terrible deal" for taxpayers. Sizewell C was supposed to cost £20bn. It's now expected to cost between £40.5bn and £47.7bn, with construction finishing between 2039 and 2043.
Ferries anyone?

I AM SO ANGRY!!! WHO MADE A PICTURE OF OUR LAST MEETING??? WE HAD A DECISION NOT TO MAKE FOTOS IN THE BASEMENT AT [redacted].
Slava Ukraini
💔 Heartbreaking news from Kherson.
Today, October 27, Volodymyr Obertas, press officer of Ukraine’s 34th Marine Brigade, was killed by an explosive device in Kherson while accompanying medical personnel.
Volodymyr was the talented man behind the wonderful videos we’ve received from the 34th Marine Brigade.
He was originally from Oleshky, the Russian-occupied town across the Dnipro River. He dreamed of returning home.
And here is the heartbreaking irony.
Volodymyr created the video that spread across social media, drawing attention to the desperate situation in Oleshky and helping build momentum for the evacuation of its residents.
Today, on the very first day of the announced ceasefire intended to allow that evacuation, he was killed. Just a few kilometres from his hometown, without ever seeing the outcome of the mission that meant so much to him.
A man who used his camera to show the world what was happening in Ukraine has become another victim of Russia’s war.
Rest in peace, Volodymyr. 🕯️🇺🇦
My deepest condolences to his family, friends and fellow Marines.
Герої не вмирають. 💔

People from Oleshky who wish to return to Ukrainian-controlled territory will first be taken to Crimea or Russia, according to FT sources‼️
At this point, we can only brace ourselves for a massive Russian propaganda campaign, legitimized on the international stage by Newsmax's presence.
Everyone must understand what kind of interviews people will give to the media under occupation, being within the grasp of the same regime that invaded their home, held them hostage and almost starved to death. And how this wave of people going to russia is going to be presented.
It is sad, very sad, but people must be saved.

A huge thank you to @antoninaodesssa and @tatyanaodesssa for everything to do for our soldiers.
I’m sorry it took me so long to make this video.
If you aren’t supporting these ladies, please do.
There is so much they are doing for our heroes that you will never hear about but it matters more than you could ever know.

To all the fucking idiots flooding my comments with that same stupid “Bomb Donbas” bullshit:
For fuck’s sake, learn some basic history and geography!
Russia is a multinational state, home to more than 190 ethnic groups.
Russian citizenship and Russian ethnicity are NOT the same fucking thing.
Tatars, Bashkirs, Chechens, Buryats, Sakha, and many other peoples live within the Russian Federation.
Many of these peoples have their own histories, languages, cultures, and national identities. Their territories were incorporated into the Russian state through centuries of conquest, colonization, and imperial expansion.
The Russian Federation is not the same thing as the ethnic Russian nation.
And let’s talk about Crimea.
Crimea is Ukrainian territory under Russian occupation.
It is the historical homeland of the Crimean Tatars, an Indigenous people who have faced deportation, persecution, and repression under Russian and Soviet rule.
Ukrainians and Crimean Tatars live in Crimea. Russia’s occupation does not erase their identities or Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders.
And stop pretending that Donbas is somehow Russian territory just because the Kremlin says so.
Donbas is Ukraine. Crimea is Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine.
Learn the difference between ethnicity, citizenship, nationality, imperial conquest, and internationally recognized borders before lecturing a Ukrainian about her own country.
Now fuck off with your ignorant bullshit.

Today I was denied entry into the West Bank, alongside other parliamentary colleagues from across Europe as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
We were held for 8 hours, interrogated and ultimately prevented from crossing the border.
I came to stand alongside Palestinians being attacked for harvesting olives on their own land. Instead, we were turned away, with no reason given.
More than ever, Palestinians are being subject to terror and violence by the IDF and illegal settlers. Increased blockades, demolitions and unthinkable violence have become the norm for Palestinians in the West Bank.
It is more important now than ever that we bear witness and show our solidarity.
But we were prevented from doing so.
I will continue to do everything I can to apply pressure on the Netanyahu government, and those responsible for the persecution and genocide of the Palestinian people.

Russian ballistic missiles struck the grounds of a university in Kyiv and the area around it – effectively the campus, Kyoto Park, the area near a metro station, and residential buildings. The exact number of casualties is not yet known. But tragically, there are victims. There are people injured. Rescue operations are underway. There is extensive damage, and there are also reports that people may be trapped under the rubble. All emergency services are at the scene and doing their work – saving lives. The missiles hit very crowded areas, and there is not a single military facility nearby. This was a strike directly on the city, on its infrastructure. Unfortunately, there may be more strikes coming. The attack with “shaheds” is also continuing – against Kyiv and our other cities and communities.
And it is precisely under such circumstances, when the threat is constant, when strikes can come at any moment and target cities and villages directly, that artificial delays in providing air defense to Ukraine help terror. It is important that political agreements be implemented promptly at the team level. It is important that our partners understand that Ukraine needs the proper tools to destroy Russian ballistic missile launchers. This would be the most effective way to save lives. It is important that the world sees that Russia is showing nothing but a desire to kill and continue waging war. Ukraine must not be left to face this alone, and it is solely Russia’s fault that the war is still going on and people are still dying. Please take care of yourselves. All partners should stand with Ukraine – with the protection of lives.
