At the most patriotic Reditt the posters are feeling betrayed - and rightly so - he was a good actor though that made problems of it's own. The signing of such law is very bad to the Frontline. First of all, it reduces morale ('why do we have to fight and die when the president tries to usurp the power and not being responsible for his actions?') Second, it won't be left unanswered, and will likely end up with reducing the international assistance (because many international institutions that provide assistance are already fed up with the cycle 'institution provides assistance in exchange of reforms - Zelensky promises reforms - the parliament votes for some bat<deleted> proposal - institution said that's not okay - the parliament scrambles at the last moment and retracts the bat<deleted>, often with some tiny pieces of bat crap stuck in corners'). Ukraine already had failed several critical checkpoints in reforms because of that. And it's not okay. Compared to the tempo of 2022 when Ukraine often moved ahead of the plan and passed the checks long before the deadline. Looks like having russian troops in proximity to the precious parliament asses is deeply invigorating - maybe they should move to Zaporizhya or Kherson for regular sessions? You can read Yaroslav Zheleznyak's account for the second take.

I know I got bored by the pushback and went elsewhere and now there's a lot of informed talk about the front collapsing. We have entered the end game.

And the excellent Vlad Vexler who, sadly, is unwell but has been one of the most steadfast and thoughtful pro-Ukraine voices has weighed in, and it’s damning for Zelensky. He argues that Zelensky’s actions have played directly into Putin’s hands.

It turns out that Zelensky and his associates are mired in corruption something that’s not sitting well with a nation that has fought bravely. There's even talk now of another Maidan uprising. Some of us tried to raise the alarm earlier, but were met with accusations and dismissal. It’s a tragedy all around for Ukraine, for Russia, and for a West that was unnecessarily drawn into an internecine conflict between two Slavic nations. https://kyivindependent.com/editorial-dark-hour-for-ukrainian-democracy/

Best Glastonbury ever - been going for 20 years 12 as a volunteer in recycling and do after festival so we get to 'tat' the stuff that folks leave behind and a get a 'free' ticket to boot and get on site early. It truly is a land of smiles. Wanted to see Bob and Kneecap on West Holt's but everying knew they would be totally rammed so we left them to the kidz. Nadine Shah was a revelation on Sunday though.

REJOICE - War is nearly over !

But by supressing the gays Russia increases the amount of hetreosexuals so they get a straight boost in children to offset those lost in wars. It's swingers and roundabouts in Putinland.

It's entirely reasonable to ask for clear, easily verifiable proof. As Ronald Reagan famously said, "Trust, but verify." If he is indeed serving in Ukraine, I have genuine sympathy for his courage , however misdirected it might be—and would welcome his firsthand insights from the battlefield. If not, then, as any current or former servicemember will tell you, stolen valour is taken very seriously. Apparently, there are a significant number of so-called "Walts" (military impostors), and quite a few seem to be in Thailand for reasons unknown.

They took a leaf out of Ukraine's media war !

Aye 4 years ago the dialogue changed but some have reason to not trust that volte face and rightly so. But while intent can become clouded and often obscured, political agendas typically prevail – the Congressional ban was later lifted – Azov is currently an official member of the Ukraine National Guard. Global aid to Ukraine since 2022 has reached a staggering €400 billion committed as of December 2024, or about $430 billion, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. Shouldn’t we have asked better questions of Ukraine before the financial largess began? Or did we already know the answers and as is typical – allowed politics rather than principle to dictate? https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/does-ukraine-have-a-neo-nazi-problem/

The status of Crimea has changed several times over the past few centuries. Here's a brief overview: Timeline of Russian Control over Crimea: 1783–1954: Crimea was annexed by the Russian Empire in 1783 under Catherine the Great and remained part of Russia until 1954. ➤ Total: 171 years 1954–1991: Crimea was transferred to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (a part of the USSR) by Nikita Khrushchev. Although still under Soviet control, it was administratively part of Ukraine. 1991–2014: After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Crimea became part of independent Ukraine. Since 2014: Russia annexed Crimea in March 2014, a move not recognized by Ukraine or most of the international community. However, Russia considers it part of its territory. ➤ As of 2025, that's 11 years Total Time Under Russian Control: 1783–1954: 171 years (Imperial Russia + USSR) 2014–2025: 11 years (Modern Russia) Grand Total: 182 years, if you count both periods together under Russian control. Would you like a visual timeline of Crimea’s history?

Even Biden never seriously considered regime change as an option — and in any case, the five million-strong security apparatus, the Siloviki, would never allow it. What’s far more likely is that Ukraine, abandoned by most of its allies and largely unfunded, simply collapses. The country is already on life support — if the money stops flowing, salaries go unpaid, pensions dry up, and a whole range of other systems begin to fail. Add to that an armed and angry segment of the population, and you have the perfect storm. That's Putin's endpoint he is aiming for , a client state on his borders and Trump for the most part is happy with that. https://www.newsweek.com/who-are-siloviki-russias-elite-security-faction-1775796

The investment the Russians made in Trump over decades is probably the best return of investment ever in any context bar none. To own a US President to the Soviets would be off the scale of impossible. But here we are - on Russian state media he is regarded as a friend. Trump: Russia not taking over Ukraine is a concession - POLITICO https://thehill.com/policy/international/5265907-trump-russia-ukraine-peace/ Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office during a meeting with Norway’s prime minister, Trump was asked what concessions Russia has “offered up thus far to get to the point where you’re closer to peace.” “Stopping the war, stopping from taking the whole country, pretty big concession,” Trump responded.
