The missile which came down on January 2 in Kharkiv, Ukraine, has been identified as a North Korean “Hwasong-11” derivate. It proves that Russia violated UNSC resolution, confirming once more the absolute uselessness of the UN body.

That would also mean that according to…

Oh, yes, one more thing Putin’s most successful project (Ivanishvili) said is that he won’t be sharing the fate of Yanukovych. The GD’s rhetoric has long been portraying the Maidan as a Western coup, fully in line with Russian propaganda. Now it couldn’t be more official.

Very encouraging comments from US Secretary of Defense Austin. Has the Biden Administration finally accepted that Ukraine cannot defend itself without striking targets inside Russia?

Cuffs off. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Ukraine targeting ATACMS at Russia: 'So it up to them on how and when to use it, and our hopes are that they'll create some pretty good effects.' c-span.org/video/?c511539… via @CSPAN

'Of all the timeless maxims guiding ethical conduct, 'Don’t be like Hitler' has got to be near the top. It is one by which Russia is failing miserably to abide at the moment.'
Excellent article by Neil Abrams on the genocidal ideology of today's Russia.

💯 'If this were a conventional war, one could conceivably point to NATO as a cause. But this is not a conventional war; it is a genocidal war. How would the prospect of Ukr in NATO account for the deportation to Ru of hundreds of thousands of Ukr children for “reeducation?”

A ridiculously high number of Westerners seem to believe it's okay to require that Ukraine run its history books, language laws, street names by Ru for approval in the name of, you know, 'peace'.

The growth of Russia’s arms industry has been made possible by new international suppliers.

Piecing together the supply chain is tricky, but a new study suggests that many of the imports lead back to one country econ.st/3Qs9sw7 👇

In their wildest dreams russia couldn't take a city the size of Kharkiv. They'll keep trying to destroy it, make it uninhabitable, bombard the population with propaganda, plunge it into darkness. And they will.

But they will never capture this city.

The debate continues. Probably even Putin does not know whether or when he might use nuclear weapons. It is reasonably safe to assume that he will not do so while he is seen as winning / gaining ground in Ukraine, or in case of a stalemate.

The question becomes less clear when…

Some 604 Ukrainian civilians were killed and injured in March, a 20% increase over the previous month, the British Defense Ministry reported in its April 29 intelligence update, citing the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission.
