#Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Andrii Melnyk:

Thirty-five million Russians have no toilet at home.

On the one hand, Russia demands recognition as a "great superpower," claiming the right to redraw state borders by force and impose a new sphere of influence⤵️

This is what the "liberation" by the Russian occupiers looks like. A 3-ton Russian aerial bomb struck Kostiantynivka. An entire block of apartment buildings was leveled to the foundation. Footage provided by aerial reconnaissance from the "Phoenix" border guard unit.

Serhii "Flash", advisor to Ukrainian Defense Minister, showed the rubble Russia turned his home into by its attack.

He wrote:
"Like that, in one moment, I was left without anything I accumulated for 20 years. No home, no cars, no things.

If taxes kill investment, why is the gas industry rushing to Norway to pay 78%? 🙄

1/ Ukraine's increasing dominance in drones is reportedly leading to individual Russian soldiers being attacked by 20 or 30 drones at once. Russian warbloggers say that Ukrainian drones are operating with impunity while their side faces a shortage. ⬇️

Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal Just read it. Spot On - An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’: “Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage. You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail. Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates. Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

Wow. Check out this Aussie telling it like it is.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again. And you're calling Greenland poorly run? Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no. "NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years. And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess. So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth.”

HUR strike drones have hit two high-value Russian ships in the bay of occupied Sevastopol. The video shows the large landing ships "Yamal" and "Nikolay Filchenkov", valued at $80 million and $70 million, respectively. Both ships have been disabled.

It's a big thing in Australia, seriously. Voting location is often chosen by the quality of the offerings...

Embrace the democracy sausage...

The Ukrainian Yak-52 crews who are clearing the skies of russian drones using nothing but shotguns are true heroes of our time.

My holiday in the sun has become permanent it seems!

🇺🇦🇩🇪Friedrich Merz, Chancellor of Germany: Russia should end this war as quickly as possible. It has no chance of winning it.

4 years ago today, the Russian flagship Moskva successfully intercepted two Neptune missiles and got promoted to a submarine!

Happy anniversary to all who celebrate!

this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.

⚡️ Viktor Orbán concedes defeat, ending his 16-year leadership.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán officially conceded power to opposition leader Péter Magyar on Sunday night after early election results showed the Tisza party on track for a parliamentary majority.

Vitalii, who has returned from Russian captivity today, reads a poem about Mariupol.

He wrote more than a hundred poems in captivity, but was not able to write any of them down. Vitalii just kept them in his head.

His poem is beautiful and sad.

First footage from the pre-Easter POW exchange. 182 Ukrainians are home including 25 officers Russia had refused to swap, most held since 2022, many from Mariupol and several National Guardsmen seized at Chornobyl.

It is sad when the vice-president of the United States sees his job as spreading Kremlin propaganda.

Paying someone billions they didn't previously earn so they let you stop attacking them is a chapter I missed in "Art of the Deal".

OTD in 2022 leading military analyst & children's rights campaigner Scott Ritter spoke to a geopolitical expert and explained why he foresaw the swift defeat of Ukraine.

As comrade @yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social wisely points out, Europe is to blame for this "crime against logic in relation to Russia". I argue this happens in 2 ways.

1. Being seen by Ukraine as a better option than Russia
2. Actually being a better option for Ukraine than Russia

Yesterday, the mayor of the Leningrad region announced that the Russians have resumed oil shipments to Ust-Luga.

Magyar this morning: hold my beer.

Again? Again😌

Russia has completely destroyed the cities and towns it has occupied in Ukraine. Scorched earth type of thing.

"🚨Another Cargo Ship full of Alumina is on its way from Aughinish Alumina to St Petersburg, Russia to deliver vital alumina to the Russian war effort.

Cargo ship KETHI is currently west of Donegal and is expected to arrive in Mordor on 10 April next.

This shames Ireland." (@realLangerDan)
