Zelensky is asked if Trump is scapegoating him because the USA is in such deep shit back home due to the disastrous Iran War. Watch Ze's response.

Hard to see how this doesn't lead to even more "hybrid war" events in Europe. Increasingly bad times ahead, it seems. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

The Washington Post reports that U.S. officials threatened to halt *all intelligence sharing* if Ukraine keeps striking Russian energy sites. Ukrainian forces report sudden military Starlink restrictions, but Kyiv is still assessing the cause. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/1...

Latvia has officially expelled journalist and pundit Leonid Ragozin. We never got a public presentation from the state of any evidence against him, just vague claims about "information received from competent state institutions" and refusals to elaborate.

Zelensky says Ukraine's partners again gave no advance warning of tonight's Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv. He says the attack hit a major power plant and damaged a residential building, sparking a fire. t.me/V_Zelenskiy_...

Did you wake up today and sniff "less hate, less division, and fewer provocations"? Sounds pretty silly to me, but, more importantly, it seems wildly dangerous to present Ukraine's data-center strikes as (1) the result of Western pleas and (2) part of a strategy to cleanse Western domestic politics.

The Kremlin has confirmed the diesel deal with Trump in an official statement from Putin himself.

Presumably, this is what's behind the "new ideas" reportedly animating Kushner/Witkoff's latest efforts. On the one hand, the possibility that Russia would entertain any truce for something short of Kyiv's capitulation is remarkable, though the reality here is probably—unfortunately—something else.

uh, "bruh," as the kids say, if the consequences are that we don't have to fork over like $100, then yes we realize the consequences

very sad to see AP News failing for this Russian propaganda, ignoring the real threat in Irkutsk

Around 90% of the 84 shelters approved for use in the Moscow region’s Dmitrov district have no toilets, seating, or compliant sewage systems. Sixty-four also lack fire-suppression systems. All 84 are nevertheless listed as "meeting requirements." t.me/ostorozhno_m...

The Guardian found that fuel from South Korean ports is reaching Russia aboard Western-sanctioned tankers, raising questions about Seoul’s backing for Ukraine amid public fallout over the POW scandal. A rather key detail buried in the report: the shipments don't "appear" to violate South Korean law.
