It was just weeks before Olha Khmarnaâs 106th birthday when a Russian bomb exploded in her
neighbourhood in Izyum, a town in Ukraineâs Kharkiv region, as she was doing her morning exercises.
âThe whole house trembled and the ceiling collapsed,â she said

I remember when my Twitter feed wasnât just a flood of fringe âUkraine must surrenderâ types. Or is it just me?

The names and faces of those behind the Kremlin's misinformation network 'DoppelgÀnger' have been revealed.
These facts must be investigated and those responsible brought to justice, as individuals who create and promote Russian propaganda commit a series of grave crimes against the national security of the targeted nations, peace, human security, and international law and order.
Putinâs âDoppelgĂ€ngersâ: The Insider gets inside the operations of the Kremlin's foreign disinformation network
Internal documents demonstrate the cynisism of the Kremlin's information warriors â who describe their own work as generating "fakes."

Witkoff isnât blowing smoke up Putinâs ass.
The Trump & Putin governments both think that cruelty is good when it âprotectsâ their own supporters from the outside.
Any act can be humanitarian or heroic if it âsavesâ the nation from alleged depravity.

"The facts were unclear, but it didn't matter. We simply wrote that Ukrainian soldiers killed children." Propaganda war is a key pillar of russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and it is waged globally.

Yeah, might as well send us off to the gas chambers, youâre suggesting? Luxembourg is even smaller, as are Malta and Cyprus. Whereâs the threshold? Denmark? Finland?
It is a strange world.
Because 5.7 million people live in three small Baltic countries (whose total size is less than a Chinese Tier II city). and whose half of the population lives in Europe, and another third are Russians who cannot get citizenship, and because they have traumas and bad memories of the Soviet rule, the entire world of 8 billion people should go into a nuclear apocalypse and die.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Baltic countries lie entirely in Europe. Non-citizens comprise ~9% of Latvia's population, ~4-5% of Estonia's and near zero in Lithuaniaânot one thirdâwhile ethnic Russians total ~14% overall (most with citizenship).

The UK population can barely get out of bed and put its pants on in the morning, I donât think they can be âonly and aggressivelyâ pushed to war

âRussian borders donât end anywhereâ is a quote from no-one else but Putin. Which is why giving him Donbas, or Kyiv for that matter, will not be the end of a war but the beginning of a new one â with Russia in a much stronger position and Ukrainians its cannon fodder.
Donald Trump says the Russian sanctions waiver is to help negotiate peace. But one Russian paper today writes: âWe will make a deal with Ukraine entirely on our terms.â Another paper: âRussiaâs borders, as we know, do not end anywhere.â #ReadingRussia

The Embassy lowered its flag to half-mast today to honour the four Canadian soldiers who were killed and dozens injured in a tragic incident at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright on Saturday October 17th, 2026, one of the worst tragedies for the Forces on Canadian soil in peacetime.

Russiaâs bombing of Mariupolâs theatre in March 2022 killed at least 600 civilians, including children.
However, a new Russian film claims Ukrainian forces were responsible, despite investigations pointing to a Russian airstrike.
