Those saying russia cannot collapse, remember this picture. First the russian empire 1917, then the Soviet Union in 1991, and soon it will be russia. All empires fall.

There are still those who admire the so-called “great russian culture.” They cling to the illusion that Putin somehow deviated from the “true” russian heritage and became an accidental tyrant. Nothing could be further from the truth. Putin is not an exception – he is a symptom.

This is why russians are terrorizing Ukrainian civilians. Not out strength but out of weakness. The russian front near Lyman is collapsing. Ukrainian forces have pushed russian troops back by 9 km, liberated Dibrova and Piskunivka, and are advancing toward Torske.

Trump: “You know what I want Zelenskyy to do? Make a deal. I want him to settle with Putin.” Can someone pass this photo to Trump. It is very easy to stop the war. Trump just needs to tell his boss Putin to get out of Ukraine.

“We’re launching the Army of Robots.” Former Minister of Defense of Ukraine had just posted this video. Today, drones account for over 95% of battlefield strikes in Ukraine. The future of warfare is being determined in Ukraine.

Trump proposed for Zelenskyy to meet with Putin in Moscow. Trump raised this issue during his meeting with Zelenskyy in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Putin has also called on Zelenskyy to come to Moscow for negotiations.

Russian war against Ukraine is plain terrorism. Just read this headline from Ukraine: “Russia attacked the Titka Klara bakery in Kyiv:the menu is temporarily being shortened.” Their objective is to kill people by direct hits, freezing them to death, or starvation.

Today, russians destroyed another church in Kramatorsk. Russia is a satanic country. It is the antithesis of Jesus and His teachings. Instead of life, russia brings death. Instead of peace, russia brings war.

Zelenskyy explained Putin’s dilemma: He’s not winning. That’s the problem for him. He has to perform for his own society. He doesn’t respect Ukrainians. He doesn’t respect Americans. He doesn’t respect anyone else. He fears his own nation. The empire has no cards. Only fear.
