Remarkable reporting by @Shelby_Wilder on @NEWSMAX as the network covers the evacuation from Oleshky.
"Why would some Ukrainians choose to stay in Oleshky? Because they fear being put in the hands of the Russians.
Even with the Ukrainian delegation on the ground, this being a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, these Ukrainians that have been in a war-torn city are afraid.
What if they could be subjected to filtration? What if they could be detained by Russian authorities going through screenings? Ukrainian men of fighting age fear they could be forced into Russian military recruitment as they try to leave. We are also hearing reports that civilians have been pressured to stay in Russia.
And again, the evacuation process that's taking place is not straightforward. Residents cannot go from occupied Ukraine into Ukraine because there is a front line. So civilians will be going from Oleshky through occupied Ukraine into Russia, into Belarus, and then back to Ukraine.
Newsmax is traveling with this humanitarian convoy, so we'll continue to bring you the latest updates as we get them."

Oleshky: a return of some of the Ukrainians to Ukraine-controlled territory who survived the Russian occupation and the aftermath of Russia blowing up the Kakhovka Dam, a Russian crime that flooded their land and homes.
Russia has starved them, took away their food, provided no medicine, and did not allow them to leave. Many people died - were killed - during the Russian occupation and in the aftermath of the flooding. We cannot know the exact figures, as this territory remains under Russian control.
Now Russians are trying to portray this as an act of humanism on their part. But in reality, they were pressured into letting these people go - people whose land and homes they had seized, whom they had tormented and condemned to death by starvation.
People left behind their seized and destroyed homes and fled to avoid starving to death. Almost all chose to go to Ukraine.
And I thank everyone who took part in this extremely difficult humanitarian mission, everyone who contributed and helped save Ukrainian lives.
Newsmax journalist Shelby Wilder on the situation in Oleshky:
Russia is using this humanitarian operation as a propaganda opportunity.
Moscow wants to portray itself as the rescuer of civilians in a city that it occupies, one it has destroyed and plunged into this humanitarian crisis.
And we need to be clear, Russia controls what we are going to be allowed to see.
Moscow appears to have brought in numerous Russian media compared to just the one American news outlet.

In Russian captivity, Ukrainian border guard Pavlo Shatokhin lost 80 kg.
Guards beat him unconscious for refusing to sing Russia's anthem. After repeated blows to the head with a baton, he could not eat or walk on his own for almost two weeks and had to be carried, Suspilne. 1/

The Zhytomyr Highway, west of Kyiv. The Battle of Kyiv, 2022.
Yes, this is just one of the many, horrifyingly many, charred graveyards left behind by Russian military columns destroyed and burned by Ukrainian forces. Back then, those columns were literally surrounding Kyiv from multiple directions.
I remember how, at another location along the same highway, closer to the city, there were entire junkyards of destroyed Russian military vehicles and wreckage. It seemed like there was an overturned tank with its turret blown off every ten meters.
And now they're trying to sell you this catastrophic defeat of Russia's elite forces outside Kyiv as some kind of "Oh, the Russian tanks just took a wrong turn and got stuck in the mud. Otherwise, they would've taken Kyiv in a matter of hours."
Please, don't let anyone make morons of you.

No Maksym. Look at videos&comments of hundreds of ruzzians on social media absolutely every day rejoicing the killing of Ukrainian children and wishing for genocide. Look in the mirror- this is what kind of inbred sadistic cowards and warmongers ruzzians have been for centuries

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 In just ONE WEEK Trump has:
• Lifted sanctions on Russian diesel.
• Suspended the Lindsey Graham sanctions against Russia.
• Called for Zelenskyy to be replaced.
• Claimed Russia could have taken Kyiv quickly if its tanks hadn’t driven into mud.
• Said Zelenskyy is harder to deal with than Putin.
• Called Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries a “disgrace”.
• Starshield was throttled, reportedly with White House approval.
• Missing critical US missile warnings.
Meanwhile, Russia continues bombing Ukrainian cities and killing civilians.

Mister President @realDonaldTrump ,
Since the US did NOT deliver any THAAD, Tomahawk or JASSM-ER to Ukraine, how can you claim that it is Ukraine’s fault that the US stocks are depleted ?
xitter.gq/SiljaLynx/status/21110…
👉‼️WRONG, once more, @realDonaldTrump ,
You burned through hundreds of Tomahawks in your own war of choice against Iran, then turned around and blamed Ukraine for a shortage that Ukraine never caused. - 🧵

For the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague:
Russian propagandist Solovyev says that Russia’s goal is to kill all residents of Ukrainian cities:
"And to those Kyiv residents who are still there, I repeat for the hundredth time: leave the city. You are doomed. To the residents of Odesa and Mykolaiv: you’ve had your laugh. When people ask, 'Do we really have to think about them at all?' Yes. We are thinking about where to bury all of you."
Calls for the mass murder of civilians are classified under international law and national legislation as among the gravest international crimes and criminal offenses and may fall under several key categories:
• direct and public incitement to genocide;
• instigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity;
• war propaganda and incitement to hatred.

Tucker gets absolutely schooled on the Budapest Memorandum and the myth of “no NATO expansion.” He literally crumbles when faced with basic facts, as does every Russian propagandist. Glorious.

Обращение к Путину 14-летнего молодого человека посмотрели миллионы людей и получило тысячи положительных реакций
Российский подросток из города Челябинск обратился к Путину, призвал его не только закончить войну в Украине, а полностью сложить с себя полномочия президента и оставить всех в покое
В обращении юноша описывает как изменилась жизнь при путине: слышны взрывы, главы семейств гибнут, семьи распадаются, а молодое поколение боится будущего.
Россияне и до войны с Украиной вымирали в нищете рекордными темпами, а сейчас ещё и каждый месяц гибнут десятками тысяч в войне, которую Путин никогда не выиграет у украинского народа

I am American but my roots are Lithuanian. russia is my enemy.
I know this enemy. It took everything from my family, including their lives and homeland. But they fought back anyway despite being murdered by the russians, exiled to Siberia, forced to run, etc. They were Lithuanian partisan fighters, translators, doctors, and rescuers.
Part of my family managed to escape and lived in displaced persons camps for 5 years before being accepted by America as war refugees. The other part of my family that wasn't killed was exiled to Siberia.
My great grandparents died never seeing Lithuania become free again. It would become free a few years after their deaths.
It is a pain I wish on no one.
russia is an ememy to the free world. History shows it. It's unfathomable to me that anyone could think otherwise.

The gap between what Moscovia claims to hold and what it actually controls has now passed 5,000 km², an area equal to Brunei, two Luxembourgs, seven Singapores, sixteen Maltas, six Kyivs, or three Londons.
It is 0.8% of Ukraine’s territory that exists only inside Russian military bloggers’ heads.
Clement Molin compared Russian near-military channel maps with geolocated reality and found the fantasy line running ahead of the actual front in every major sector.
• Lyman direction: Russian media still show Svyatohirsk under their control. The real front is 30 km further east.
They also mark Lyman as taken, and most Russian Telegram channels have quietly adjusted their maps to match the fiction.
• Vovchansk direction: they draw a large encirclement and place themselves 20 km ahead of the real line. No fresh geolocation supports it.
The army is fully unencircled.
• Kupiansk direction: they still “hold” the city. Putin announced its capture a year ago.
It was false then and remains false now. They also ignore Ukrainian counterattacks near Dvorichna, where R.U.G. is taking tree line after tree line.
• Donbas: Russian maps show control over Kostiantynivka and Dobropillia, and place their forces west of Kramatorsk, 18 km ahead of the actual line.
• Zaporizhzhia direction: almost everywhere they are 16 km ahead of reality. They overlook Ukrainian counterattacks and claim encirclements and partial control of Orikhiv that are not real.
Cartographic vanity drives this. The Kremlin’s entire information strategy depends on manufacturing territorial momentum that its army cannot produce on the ground.
When the maps lie, the audience is not only Western observers. Russian commanders are being fed a frontline that differs from the one their soldiers are dying on.
We already saw Z-blogger Anatoliy Radov admit that the official line of contact used by the Vostok grouping differs from reality by up to 12 km, and that troops are being sent to objectives based on a line that is 4 km behind Ukrainian positions.
You get columns driving into kill zones they were told were safe.
The 5,000 km² gap is a measure of how much Moscovia has to invent to keep the war looking like a slow victory. It also measures how much Ukrainian counterpressure is being erased from the picture.
The real front is not where their maps say it is. And the gap keeps growing.

The entire Russian propaganda narrative has officially turned into a circus.
Top Z-blogger 'Razvedos' just systematically demolished every single myth used to justify this invasion.
First, he admitted that Europe is not at war with Russia, noting that active trade is still ongoing. Second, he confirmed that it is the Ukrainian soldier alone who is smashing the Russian army and destroying its warships, airfields, and refineries - not some mythical 'NATO mercenaries.'
But the biggest blow to the Kremlin is his final admission: neither America nor Europe can end this war because they are not directly involved. Only Russia can end it by withdrawing its troops, or Ukraine, if it accepts the terms.
This completely destroys Moscow’s favorite lie about a 'proxy war with the West' and proves that Russia is the sole aggressor who can stop the bloodshed at any moment. The matrix has completely collapsed.
