Nawrocki refuses to appoint the constitutional judges legitimately elected by the parliament! A far-right hooligan as president! The PiS is following the Kremlin’s lead!
Swedish Chef Fella🌹 🇸🇪🇪🇺🇺🇦 retweeted
Use this, our pro-opposition and pro-maga president began this. Tusk even tried to rebuild the law so the judges would be chosen in future by 3/5 of the Sejm instead of >50%, but they rejected to stay in charge.

Read this. No one should suggest that conscription is pleasant or problem-free - particularly in an oligarchic-dominated capitalist state. But the reality is a lot more nuanced and complex than Russian propaganda and its "left" echoes in the West suggest.
Mobilization in Ukraine is now mandatory for men of draft age, and that reality is one of Russia's favorite propaganda tools: Ukrainians are grabbed off the street and sent to die.
But we want to introduce you to a man who tried to leave the country, was stopped at the border, and ended up in the army. Here's how his life changed.

People telling you ab a "coup" in Poland are liars.
Like MAGA or Orban
PiS, right wing Polish MAGA party, captured the judiciary when they were in power before current govt & installed their own judges
Now a legit judge appointed by the Parliament suspended a couple of them

If Zelensky Is So Corrupt, Why Can’t Anyone Buy Him? 🇺🇦
I just realized something almost hilarious if it wasn’t very obvious and also real about the whole anti-Zelensky narrative.
For years we have been told that Zelensky is corrupt, illegitimate, a puppet, a billionaire thief, some CIA creation, whatever version happens to be useful that day. And yet somehow Putin, Trump, oligarchs, billionaires and the entire anti-Ukraine political machine still cannot control him.
Think about that contradiction.
Zelensky was elected in 2019 with about 73% of the runoff vote. Ukraine has not held another presidential election because elections are suspended under martial law during Russia’s invasion, something Zelensky has said could change if conditions allow a safe and legal vote. Meanwhile Trump, Elon and others are now openly calling for Ukraine to replace him after Zelensky refused demands to stop attacking Russian energy infrastructure and bend over to them.
And this is where their own propaganda stops making sense. If Zelensky were really as spectacularly corrupt as they claim, why wouldn’t somebody have bought him years ago?
Putin has all the money. Russian oligarchs have money. Western billionaires have money. Elon has more money than all of them. Trump has political power. There are people with enormous financial and geopolitical interests who would benefit from a Ukrainian president willing to make the right deal for them.
If Zelensky were really nothing but a corrupt opportunist, the easiest path imaginable would have been to take the money, make peace with Putin on Putin’s terms, protect himself, become insanely wealthy, powerful and live comfortably ruling the Ukraine and the area as a probably richest dictator on earth.
Instead, Russia invaded, Zelensky stayed, Ukraine kept fighting, and years later these people are still trying to pressure him, discredit him, replace him and convince everyone that he is somehow the problem.
Trump and Elon has now publicly called for Ukraine to get a new president after Zelensky resisted pressure over Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries. Their relationship has deteriorated sharply precisely because Zelensky has continued pursuing policies Washington told him to stop.
So maybe the reason so many powerful men seem absolutely fucking obsessed with Zelensky is much simpler than all the conspiracy theories.
Maybe they hate him because they cannot break him.
Maybe they hate him because they cannot buy him.
Maybe they are simply jealous of him and his amazing courage and integrity.?
And maybe nothing drives men obsessed with power more insane than another man they cannot control.

🧵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/🧵

I was born in Donbas, and I lived in Donetsk until 2014, when the Russian occupation began.
The Russians destroyed my home in Lyman.
And now someone wants to discuss handing over my land to Russia in exchange for peace???
ARE YOU SERIOUS???
Donbas is NOT Trump’s real estate.
NOT a gift to Putin.
And NOT an item up for sale at an international political auction.

With same logic, so does Komi, Tatarstan, Chechnya, Tibet, Xinjiang, etc.

.@JamesTalarico’s message to Gen Z: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you.
Your boss cares about politics. Your landlord cares about politics. Your insurance company cares about politics.
And until you care about politics, they're gonna keep using the political system to screw you over.”

- Donald Tusk - PM of Poland
"....We must help Ukraine survive today. We cannot repeat those mistakes.
Munich must not happen again. This horrifying, helpless, powerless policy of yielding to evil must not be repeated.
If today we say, "It’s only Ukraine," someone in a few months, a year, or two will say: "Again, it’s only Poland."

Thank you, Emmanuel, for your condolences. Unfortunately, the death toll from the Russian strike on a commuter train in Dnipro has already risen to 14. And just a few hours ago, the Russians struck a residential neighborhood in Chernihiv with a drone and killed two girls. They were only 15 years old. In Kremenchuk, a Russian “shahed” struck an apartment building. Tragically, three people were killed. My condolences to all those who lost their loved ones. In these three attacks alone, 56 people have been reported injured, including 10 children.
These are deliberate strikes against civilians, brazen in their cruelty, and the Russians are carrying them out right as the humanitarian operation in Oleshky is unfolding. Russia’s signals are clear – they want the war to continue, and everyone around the world must still work very hard to achieve major de-escalation through strong steps and appropriate pressure on the aggressor.
Peace is needed – and for that to happen, Russia must end its war and terror.
Je viens d'apprendre avec émotion qu'un drone à réaction russe vient de s'abattre sur la gare de Dnipro, avec un très lourd bilan.
J'adresse au Président @ZelenskyyUa et au peuple ukrainien mes condoléances et notre solidarité.
Nous devons, dans ce contexte, aspirer à bien plus qu'un cessez-le-feu localisé comme celui qui vient d'être négocié localement à Olechky. Il est intolérable que la Russie continue d'opposer son refus à toutes les propositions en ce sens, en continuant de miser sur l'escalade et en visant les civils.
Nous devons ensemble redoubler d'efforts pour une paix juste et durable et amener la Russie à la table des négociations.

At least 13 civilians dead in Dnipro after Russian drone attack.
There is nothing that even resembles military structures here. Just pure, unfiltered terrorism.
Russia is a terrorist state.

Good news the UK Labour government is strengthening support for Ukraine. It reflects continued strong public support for Ukraine, including in the trade union movement.
However there's more to demand - frozen Russian assets being a key case in point.

BUDANOV 🇺🇦 stated that negotiations between Ukraine and USA broke down, because “the American administration only thinks about making profits for themselves”.
Witkoff suggested #Ukraine to give up land - so USA could buy diesel from russia.
THIS IS NOT SERIOUS‼️

🇺🇦 🇺🇲 The confrontation inside Trump's Ukraine peace negotiations is now coming into focus.
Le Monde reports that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner spent nearly three hours pitching Ukraine's presidential chief of staff, Kyrylo Budanov, a postwar economic arrangement built around restoring Russian oil and gas flows to Europe through Ukrainian pipelines.
The meeting took place on October 9 at the Shell Bay golf club in Florida.
Witkoff presented the proposal as a regional prosperity plan: Ukraine would collect transit revenues, Europe would receive cheaper energy, and Russia would regain access to commercial routes disrupted by the war.
Budanov saw something fundamentally different. According to a witness cited by Le Monde, he objected that the arrangement would recreate Ukraine's dependence on Moscow.
“Our model is not Belarus, but Poland!” he reportedly replied.
The meeting was interrupted, and Budanov called Zelensky.
When talks resumed, news arrived that Trump had announced a separate agreement with Putin involving Russian diesel. Le Monde reports that an irritated Witkoff then demanded that the Ukrainians accept the arrangement and stop striking Russian oil refineries, arguing that the attacks endangered the wider world.
A source familiar with the Ukrainian delegation described its members as exceptionally distressed by the encounter.
The account adds a revealing dimension to the commercial negotiations we have been tracking. The proposed Lukoil asset sale, Novatek's involvement in an Alaska LNG venture, the broader US-Russia list of business opportunities reported by the Financial Times, and now the proposed restoration of Russian energy transit through Ukraine all point to the prominence of energy deals in Washington's diplomatic approach.
These are separate proposals, with different participants and legal circumstances. But Le Monde's reporting exposes the strategic disagreement underlying them.
For Witkoff, restoring commercial flows appears to be part of the mechanism for producing a peace settlement. For Budanov, according to the account, those same flows threaten to restore Moscow's economic leverage over Ukraine.
The reported exchange also raises a question about sequencing: why was Kyiv being pressed to stop attacking Russian refineries while Russia continued striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure?
Le Monde's reconstruction relies on accounts of a private meeting. The reported exchanges have not been independently confirmed by the participants.
