So, Zakarpattia is in the news after it was revealed that Hungary had an intelligence operation there. Let’s talk about the region, its history, and its realities. I am a resident of Zakarpattia, know locals who speak Hungarian, and have researched the region extensively. (Long)

The IMF hate this man. Reduce your debt with one simple trick.
The Ukrainians must surrender to Putin, because that is what we do every day. by J. D. Vance
Couple killed holding hands as Russia rained missiles and drones on Kyiv overnight.
We wanted to know how everyday Judean people felt about the crucifixion of Jesus. So we talked to three Roman soldiers at a taberna in Gadara.
Historians say that the Romans killed Jesus. But some say that the real cause of his death was economic anxiety.
This is connected to an IRL friends brothers unit. Recently, the 109th Brigade of the Donetsk Regional Defense Command, lost vehicles in one mission. They need new equipment and are raising money for a Grand Cherokee. Donate below: 🎯 The fundraising goal is 330,000 UAH.
The kitten that was rescued from under the debris in Kharkiv was named Phoenix. He weighs just 330 grams, is about three weeks old and is being cared for by doctors and volunteers. 113 people were injured by just that Russian attack on Kharkiv, including nine children.
Rescuers pulled this tiny kitten out of the rubble after the Russian strike on Kharkiv. Its will to live is incredible. 📹: State Emergency Service of Ukraine/Instagram

The strange thing in uzhhorod, on the Slovakian border, is that you can see planes and it's simply normal flights going over Slovakia/Hungary. An invisible line dividing lands at peace and one at war.
Today in uzhhorod there is a street fair with raffles to fund the local defenders, local foods like cheeses, honey, and wine. Shashlik and trout. People help make netting for soldiers. The sun is out. Drunk cherry has a stall. Soldiers are enjoying time off among families.
A neighbourhood cat in Uzhhorod, he was a bit sick when we left for south America but he survived the winter and actually looks better!
