Putin's off limits, though.
This is not the way to get the West ever to take you seriously. Putin maybe, yes.
Your refusal to let a dying president to get medical help or even to attend his trial via video (because of a "video shortage") will be a stain you will not wash off.

Häid Jõule! Happy Christmas! Щасливого Різдва!
Especially to all Ukrainians, those far from home and those who spend this day under the terror of the invaders' missiles and drones.
We pray for you and admire your courage.

Yes, and even without having a US General having to write its constitution.

Seems like it's time for Ukraine to start leaving them bottles of vodka.
RT @wartranslated: This intercepted call presents evidence for the intensification of disciplinary measures among the Russian troops, namely shooting for being caught drunk or on drugs. The location and the military unit discussed in the call are not specified, except for "25th Brigade".

.@jana_puglierin nails it on CEE perceptions of Germany. I'd suggest, tho, a deeper dive into DE's treatment of the region ever since the Kohl-Gorby bromance. There's a long, long history that dithering reconfirms with every action not taken.@ulrichspeck

RT @igorsushko: 🚨 Osechkin's source from Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs:
Crime rate in #Russia is skyrocketing with a giant influx of weapons smuggled from the front. Half of the country's criminal investigators have been diverted to such cases and the clearance rate is essentially zero.

Guns, Gangs and Goons.
A different (Russian) perspective on the effects of the war on Russia itself:
Its descent into third world failed state gang and gun violence, where the primary prey will be the middle class that so far has supported this war.
A demotic criminal state.

Couple of words about Shoigu´s and Putin´s yesterday speeches. Putin promised armed forces all the needed resources. Considering weakening economy and declining energy income plus the costs of war, doesn´t look too good for the Russian people´s education, healthcare etc.

Wrong. if not Russicentric and imperialist way of framing, @ChathamHouse.

It's probably best for those engaged in corruption to face justice now, not after the war.
It will be extremely ugly for them when returning soldiers, having gone through hell, begin to ask, "For you I lost my limbs, my home, my comrades?"
Very ugly.

Zelenskyy's visit has really brought out all the stupid and crazy people in the U.S. Congress.
