RT by @StevensHelga: They think they can kill out spirit. They’re wrong. Our Ukrainian culture will flourish no matter what. We know who we are, and we will never abandon our traditions.

We are Ukrainians and we’ll always go on living, laughing, and celebrating who we are.

Слава Україні!

RT by @StevensHelga: Malfunctions are bad but it could be worse. Only in Russia.

A Russian prankster glued a massive portrait of Putin to the inside of a residential elevator in Russia. He then placed a camera in the elevator to record people’s reactions.

As you can see they all loved him especially the older women at the end.

RT by @StevensHelga: If Ukraine loses the war, Hungary will demand Transcarpathia, says the leader of the Hungarian far-right party Mi Hazank, Laszlo Toroczkai.

So you’re whining about minority rights in Transcarpathia but actually waiting for Ukraine to fall to take our land that was promised you by Putin?

(💭📕Checking the course notes on "Negotiations with International Partners" that I passed few days ago to assess whether expressing "Go to hell" would be considered undiplomatic.)

This is the Aftermath 👇
Consequences of today's fire in the Satire Theater building. The dome was partially burned, part of the building's roof was dismantled. The fire area grew to 350 square meters. 76 people and 21 pieces of equipment were on the spot. The cause of course is still unknown.

RT by @StevensHelga: While India keeps the massive inflow of Russian oil, it pivots away from Russian arms and to Western technology as well as to domestically manufactured arms.

"We are not likely to sign any major military deal with Russia," said Nandan Unnikrishnan, a Russia expert at New Delhi think tank the Observer Research Foundation.

This is the 2nd major bad news for Russia.

Another unresolved issue is the huge amounts of Indian Rupees, which Russia has accumulated from the oil and gas sales. India pays only with its own currency which is not freely convertible and is stored in Indian banks. India's restrictions over capital flows make it impossible to transmit the money back to Russia. In fact, 1 billion USD in Rupees come each month on top of the pile which are vastly useless for Moscow, while India makes a huge profit on the world market.

India offered that the money is invested in Indian infrastructure where Russian construction companies can participate, but that would contribute nothing to Russia's short term needs and even less to Russia's war industry. India has Moscow completely where it wants it to be. Hence, it is only understandable that India keeps that Russian oil inflow intact and pretends to have "good ties".

This instance shows vividly how dependent Russia has become. The Russian babbling of the "Global South" along its posturing is less enticing when the Potemkin covers have been kicked away. It is no different with China where Russia's dependency is increasing with even bigger paces.

Superior powers can cheaply buy Russian gas with their own currency and with strings attached to Russia. History has coined entities like Russia where this kind of one-sided "agreement" has been established with one term:

Vassal states

RT by @StevensHelga: The Kremlin butcher #PutinWarCriminal complained of ten deceptions in a row from the “damned” NATO:
“They just started creating such an enclave. Ten times in a row they deceived us about the non-expansion of NATO. But all this together simply left us no chance other than to start trying - and so we started a ‘special military operation’, but this is not the beginning of the war, they themselves started it.”

By the way, last year Putin complained about NATO’s deceptions at least seven times. 🤡

RT by @StevensHelga: The enemies of the West feel so emboldened that they increasingly target US forces. Tragically, this caused today three US soldiers to lose their lives. 25 more were wounded.

The White House already names “Iran-backed” groups in Syria and Iraq, but let’s cut the chase, it is the Iran which took over those countries and enabled that situation in the first place.

All roads relating to terrorism eventually lead to Tehran or Moscow. Always.

RT by @StevensHelga: Most of the money doesn't go to the Ukraine. It goes to US defense contractors to manufacture weapons that we then send to Ukraine.

Matt Gaetz's positions will result in the fall of Ukraine and an emboldened Putin who’ll then invade more of its neighbors, NATO countries in Europe, which means a large-scale war with American troops on the ground.

This does make Matt Gaetz pro-Putin.

RT by @StevensHelga: #UkraineFrontline Update 🪖
📢 Straight Talk: Ground Reality:

Here’s the deal on the frontline.

🌚 Kupyansk - Sin’kivka’s Clash:
In #Kupyansk, it’s hit-and-run tactics. We’re giving them a tough time in the woods. Tabaiivka is under their boot, but not for long. Our guys are itching to take it back.

🌲 Kreminna - Cossack Grit:
Near #Kreminna, our Cossacks turned their tanks into scrap. The enemy’s trying to feel us out. We’re holding our ground, ready to push back.

🛡 Bakhmut - Grinding On:
In #Bakhmut, it’s a tug-of-war near Bohdanivka. We’re pushing back hard. Khromove’s a tough spot, but we’re holding our own.

🌀 Avdiivka - Tough Battles:
#Avdiivka’s lines are no joke. We’re hitting back wherever they try to sneak in. The north is tough, but we’re tougher.

That’s the situation, plain and simple. We’re dug in and not going anywhere.

Slava 🔱

RT by @StevensHelga: In the coming week, we will have more international contacts to strengthen our country. They will enhance our positions in Europe, in relations with the EU, our EU neighbours, and international institutions—those tasked with protecting international law. We are also preparing new military aid packages for our warriors.

After this week is over, we will be able to say that Ukraine has strengthened. It is critical that we see more clear agreements in our bilateral relations each week, as well as increased resilience in our defense coalitions' supplies of weapons, ammunition, and vehicles.

I am grateful to everyone in the world who assists us in exactly this way—ensuring that coalitions work and that the resilience of our warriors is based on the resilience of our partners.

RT by @StevensHelga: Nicknamed "Grandfather" a 61-year-old soldier goes to some of the most difficult positions that other soldiers refuse to go. At times for as long as 6 months with enemy contact as close as 50 metres. He never complains & holds the defense with dignity.

A true Ukrainian hero 🙏

An 🇺🇸 boy (now young man) & this precious 🇺🇦 child have, years apart, suffered the loss of their own parent in war. The losses of our best & most valiant will continue for many more children & families in both our countries if we don’t stop Iran and russia NOW. #ArmUkraineToWin #StopIran #RussiaIsATerroristState

RT by @StevensHelga: Good morning my friends 🔥🔥🔥

I carry this flag with me everywhere.

I carry the ideals and principles that this flag stands for in my heart and in my soul. It stands for justice, it stands for freedom, fighting for the rights of others, freedom of speech, and helping those in need.

And I carry this flag because it gave a home to my family when Russia took it from them.

We cannot forget about Ukraine. We cannot forget about it’s fight for freedom and democracy. That fight is our fight. Call your representatives, tell them we must continue to arm Ukraine and give them all the weapons they need, share all the posts and fundraisers you can. Spread the word as far as you can. Everything we do makes a difference.

What are we doing for Ukraine today, my friends?
