Ambassador Beth van Schaack on russia's systematic war crimes in #Ukraine and genocide against #Ukrainians.

“Attacks happen in Ukrainian towns and villages where there are no discernible military objectives. The attack seems to be calculated to make as much destruction as possible and to terrorize the civilian population.” Putin's terrorist russian forces have kidnapped hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian children.

Sanctions busting Kremlin shadow fleet tankers increasingly carry military officers in official Russian navy uniforms. The russian kurwas intimidate, obfuscate documents and are generally uncooperative according to the Danish pilots who have an unique insight into these ships.

#Danish pilots keep reporting sightings of little green men aboard civilian vessels coming from the mafia state. Unfortunately the authorities don’t want to discuss these sightings. But a veteran pilot with decades of experience is willing to talk.

Found this route among this year best-bikepacking-route nominees: The Hydra Trail. It goes through the Baltic states: Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, somewhat near where I lived. It definitely goes into my bucket list. Maybe next year?

Zelenskyy’s grim choice: Take Trump’s peace deal or rely on flaky European friends 

Despite celebrating “good progress” in talks in Geneva, European countries are still too weak or too timid to save Ukraine, even with a loan from frozen Russian assets.

🎞️ Time for some 35mm film photography! Soviet-era mosaics and murals, photographed in abandoned buildings across Latvia and Lithuania 🇱🇻 🇱🇹

Shot on a roll of #KodakEktar during my #Baltics 2023 trip. With so many vibrant murals, I wanted a colourful film that would do them justice.

I loaded up my trusty Zenit-E, paired with a Mir-1b 37mm lens, to capture these images inside #AbandonedPlaces and #Ruins.

The suggestion of total amnesty for Russia's war crimes and genocidal actions against Ukrainians, contained in Trump's 28-point plan, is an unconscionable obscenity. There are FOUR MILLION Ukrainians held captive by the Kremlin regime right now! Americans, Europeans, and the #Baltics speak out in support of #Ukraine.

Bernard-Henri Lévy: "Right now is one of the hardest moments in our history. Right now, #Ukraine is under some of the heaviest pressure yet. An address of absolute dignity from President Zelenskyy to the nation — pure Churchillian resolve in stormy weather, a great and noble bearing even as he evokes the specter of an imposed capitulation. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava."

Pedo-piggy and Russian officials have drafted a 28-point surrender to the war criminal invaders of #Ukraine.

The United States should not be discussing the future of US-Russian relations while war criminal russians' missiles and drones continue to wreak havoc on Ukraine, killing thousands of innocent civilians and trying to freeze and force the population into submission with winter coming.

The 28-point surrender should be dropped and replaced with a simple one-point plan: Russia, get out of Ukraine!

July 28: Trump fake threat to putin: August 8th ceasefire deadline or "sanctions!" What actually happened: Trump invited Putin to America.

Threats never materialize. Trump says: “very dangerous territory" but never action against russia, all theatrics.

Stopped Military Aid & Intelligence Sharing Mar 4: White House officials declared the Ukraine conflict “not our war,” temporarily halting U.S. intelligence & weapons flows to Ukraine.

Mar 12: Under fire from Congress & allies, the administration quietly restored most of that aid—but the week-long interruption undercut frontline planning, played into russian propaganda

Feb 26: The US voted against (or abstained on) a UN resolution condemning russia’s invasion, demanding russian troop withdrawal handing putin a diplomatic win and fracturing the Western consensus

Each of these high-drama announcements generated headlines but NONE translated into pressure on putin or meaningful relief for #Ukraine

President Zelenskyy officially REJECTS Trump’s Surrender Demand, largely written by Putin “I did not betray #Ukraine in Feb 2022 and we won’t betray my country now. My answer is my oath of office”

President Zelenskyy is the leader of the free world. This is what a hero looks like.

Analysis of the language used in Trump’s Ukraine “peace plan” shows it was drafted in Russian and translated into English.

Evidence that the Trump/Witkoff surrender plan for #Ukraine came straight from the Russians - it uses Russian syntax.

Remember, traitorous Trump rolled out the red carpet for a war criminal, shattered his isolation, and handed him the propaganda coup of a lifetime. And for what? He got played. Came back with nothing.

Trump didn't just fail; he emboldened a butcher. More Russians will enlist. More Ukrainians will be murdered.
