Warscheinlich weil sich die Schlussfolgerung, dass die Reduzierung der Yandex Bot-Aktivität auf Social Media bots bezieht als Trugschluss erwiesen hat. Waren nur crawler. Aber ist schon richtig: wenn Russland verliert, sind die Bots und das Geld an Demokratiegegner weg. bsky.app/profile/anti...

Anyone who, for reasons of betrayal, stupidity or money, wants to weaken Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression is acting directly against their own nation, the security of their own country and its sovereignty.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Polish PM Donald Tusk: Anyone who tries to draw a false equivalence, anyone who suggests that Ukraine is responsible for the war, is giving an extraordinarily valuable gift to the aggressor, Putin. A few weeks ago, I traveled through Ukraine. I drove through small Ukrainian towns and villages.

More than half are connected to the production chain for ballistic missiles. We are making it significantly harder, slower and more expensive for Russia to produce the weapons it uses to kill Ukrainians.

EU Foreign Ministers just adopted nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex. This is the single largest expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started its war. Europe is again showing a united front.

No matter what you are going through, try to be kind to people, because you never know what their burdens are. Instead of saying "go fuck yourself" try "how can I help you to go fuck yourself?" Be kind. 🙏

No photos yet, but another 11 children have been returned from the occupied part of Kherson region. The 7 boys + 4 girls are aged 1-17. The older kids say they were forced to handle weapons + drones in military education lessons at school and forcibly registered by Russia's military.

A small, but very important vote in Ukraine's parliament today. MPs passed a proposed law on the "educational rights of national minorities." This takes away Hungary + Slovakia objections to allow negotiations on accession to the EU to proceed to the next stage.

This also would demonstrate the difference between the two sides in the argument (if a difference exists), that for one evidence precedes opinions, and for the other identity precedes opinions.

The correct response to this would be to make all the evidence used to draw the conclusion public, then challenge Farage to respond, otherwise people will just pick their opinions on the matter based purely on who they trust.

You no longer need journalists on the ground, editors fact-checking and editing, printing presses for distribution, to create and distribute information, you just need a phone. That dramatically changes the information environment, and that's what we need to adapt to.

What a surprise. Also how more blatantly obvious can you get about Russia‘s war aims: installing a puppet government, but preferably complete, unconditional surrender. Supported by Iran, North Korea, China and now USA.

‼️ Russia: “Ukrainian strikes could have disabled all three Yandex supercomputers.” 🍿 Oh dear… ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/10/11/u...
Ukrainian strikes could have disabled all three Yandex supercomputers.

All three Yandex supercomputers may have been disabled after Ukrainian drone attacks on three of the company's five data centers in the Ryazan, Kaluga, and Vladimir regions, according to T-Invariant . The last of these facilities was attacked on the night of October 11: the Vladimir data center was damaged, forcing the company to completely shut down its operations. Yandex's supercomputer, Galushkin, is located there.

The pressure President Zelenskyy is experiencing is otherworldly, and of top of that he has to endure Trump‘s regular attacks. Yet, he keeps cool. He knows that too much is at stake, than to give in to emotions. Stunning.
