Warmongering Newspeak: "Russia's invasion becomes a 'war in Ukraine.' Moscow's neo-imperial bid for a sphere of influence, where neighbors are to be murdered until they give up sovereignty, becomes "security interests." Ukraine's refusal to be massacred morphs into an obstacle to peace,"

"Russia's invasion becomes a 'war in Ukraine.' Moscow's neo-imperial bid for a sphere of influence, where neighbors are to be murdered until they give up sovereignty, becomes "security interests." Ukraine's refusal to be massacred morphs into an obstacle to peace," writes Andrew Chakhoyan.

Lavrov and the former superpower Russia wants desperately to negotiate a "deal" on UA with the US, w/o involving UA. Why? Well, to regain superpower US-parity status + to stop a costly & meaningless war for RU How would it be in Rubio's and US' interest to help the RU "chief diplomat" with that?

⚡️Russia's Lavrov says he'll meet Rubio in Manila on July 23, discuss Ukraine. Russia's chief diplomat said he believes Washington has not yet rejected proposals made at last year's summit in Anchorage between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his U.S. counterpart, Donald Trump.

Det officielle Russiske narrativ er, at man kæmper for befrielse og annektering af Donbas området. Enten har Kreml en helt særlig destruktiv forståelse af hvad "befrielse" betyder, eller man har opgivet narrativet og planlægger en "brændt jord" + tilbagetrækning. Hvordan kan det her give mening?

The Russians have published footage showing them destroying the town of Orikhiv in the Zaporizhzhia region with a 3-ton aerial bomb. Another example of "how Russia doesn’t want war".

How it changed USA 1990 -today: We did not & cannot promise Russia 1990 -We did not get a promise Putin 1990 -2007 We did not get a promise & Ukraine is allowed to join Putin - 2007 -2014 - Ukraine can join but we have to allow it cos anti imperialism Putin 2014 - we have decided we got a promise

For every dollar Denmark spends on Ukraine, France sends 7 cents, Italy 7 cents, the US zero. Denmark has given 3.25% of GDP—the highest in the world. On election day, Ukraine barely comes up. Not because Danes don't care—70% agree on keeping the support going.

In Putin's Russia, anti-war expression is considered an act of terrorism. "Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it." – George Orwell, 1984

Founded shortly after the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, the group is made up of prominent opposition figures living in exile.

Putin is making Russia small again: ”Our model suggests that Russian casualties are now between 1.1m and 1.4m, of whom 230,000-430,000 are dead. That would mean one in 25 Russian men between the ages of 18 and 49 may have been killed or severely wounded since the start of the full-scale war.”

Four years ago, Russia launched its brutal and unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine—a grave assault on sovereignty and international law. What was intended to subjugate a nation has exposed moral bankruptcy at the highest levels of Russian leadership. 1/2
