“Why is the situation with the explosion of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric station so beautiful? I explain. In this war, we will always have one main trump card that can be used against the Ukrainian (“khokhol” slur was used). And it's not even about nuclear weapons. This is the dam of the Kyiv reservoir. A small thin bridge that is held back by millions of tons of water that will instantly rush into Kyiv and wash these Augean stables down the drain. The dam is old, rotten, rusty. You don't need many missiles. Hundreds of thousands of Kyivans, especially those who live on the lower left bank, are likely to die instantly. Kyiv will never recover from this catastrophe. I'm sure this dam is a ticking time bomb whose timer has already started ticking. Thanks to the USSR for this trump card up its sleeve.”
and that’s on “not all russians”. they are bloodthirsty monsters who are ready to fully destroy something they can’t have.
Over the past year, we have identified evidence of a surge in systematic and coordinated genocidal tactics against Ukrainians. Our legal analysis found reasonable grounds to believe that Russia is responsible for the commission of genocide. This position is supported both by actions prohibited in the Genocide Convention and an underlying pattern of atrocities indicating that Russia aims to destroy the Ukrainian national group in part(..)
P.S. What USA and Germany say: Sending to Ukraine long-range missiles and jets to defend their people might escalate the war. What Russia hears: The US & Germany will let us escalate our genocide by hindering the supply of modern long-range weapons to Ukraine.
What Eastern Europeans are hearing and watching: The fact that the West is ready to conclude "peace and business deals with the Kremlin at the expense of Eastern Europeans!" Ukrainian experience shows that the West is too slow and lazy in security matters and still avoids by all possible means effective resistance to Russian aggression.
Yes, the West is helping Ukraine, but is it being done to a sufficient extent. Unfortunately, no! The Kremlin's economic and military sparing tactics chosen by the West allow the Kremlin to adapt and continue the escalation of the war. Strange as it may be, the Russian military industry receives components for the production of missiles and other armaments from the West, Russian "tourists" and businessmen still enter Europe and the United States, Russian business is still not completely isolated...Russian spies, agents of influence and cronies of the Kremlin are still operating unhindered in the West…
"BREAKING: Opponents of Cop City invade the construction site
On the 7th of September, the Atlanta community sent a "fuck you, Russian warship!" style message to the prosecutors behind the indictments of 61 heroes for opposing the project. They invaded the construction site and locked down to bulldozers while passing motorists honked at a support rally.
No more crap, no more lies, just payback and utterly committed direct action in the face of the most extreme personal risks: Fuck You, Fascist Prosecutor!"

Ukraine Displays Recovered Artifacts Stolen by Russians
Ukraine has recovered 14 archaeological items stolen by a Russian man who was stopped at a U.S. airport on suspicion of illegally importing artifacts, Ukrainian officials said Friday.
Ukraine’s acting Minister of Culture Rostyslav Karandieiev said the man stole the artifacts from Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory and then tried to transport them into the U.S. At a news conference in Kyiv Friday, Karandieiev showed some of the artifacts to journalists, along with the documentation that Ukraine received.
The recovered items include various types of weaponry, such as axes of different sizes, and date back to periods ranging from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages. One of the oldest is a polished Neolithic axe, dating from approximately 5,000-3,000 years BCE, said Karandieiev.
“It’s safe to say that Ukraine has received a new shipment of weaponry. The only catch is that this weaponry is incredibly ancient,” Karandieiev said with a smile during the public handover of artifacts at the historic Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a sacred Orthodox monastic complex.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine, now in its second year, is being accompanied by the destruction and pillaging of historical sites and treasures on an industrial scale, causing losses estimated in the hundreds of millions of euros (dollars), Ukrainian authorities say.
Most of the artifacts returned were handed over to Ukraine during the visit of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to the United States in September.
The accompanying document disclosed the identity of the individual responsible for the unlawful importation of artifacts, revealing that he hails from Krasnodar, Russia.
The acting director general of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, Maksym Ostapenko, estimated the value of the repatriated items to be around $20,000. But he emphasized that each artifact, given its age, is a significant cultural treasure.
Karandieiev also highlighted a case where 16,000 items were found to be missing from the art museum in Kherson after Ukrainian forces liberated the city following a nine-month Russian occupation.
“How long it will take to return our treasures, our artifacts, is hard to say,” he concluded.

P.S. It is interesting to observe how the Western, especially the politically correct American media carefully hides the true extent of the losses of the Russian army of war criminals, trying to spread the myth created by Russian propaganda that the Russian army is "invincible". The only "strength" of the Russian army is the amount of cheap cannon fodder...!
The average life expectancy of an infantry company in the Russian army in the direction of Avdeyevka is 1.5 hours, and the infantry company is gone to hell...
