Today's "peace" rally at the centre of #Berlin. A large crowd listening to the demagogues of AfR, BSZ and ZPD. When a ZPD politician speaks the word #Ukraine the crowd starts to whistle, shout and boo.
Zero empathy and not a single UA flag in sight. Germany really is a horror show, converging towards full-on russophilia mode.
Wie zu erwarten war: Um als "Friedenskanzler" die Bundestagswahl 2025 zu gewinnen, muß #Ukraine über die Klinge springen, später auch Georgien und Moldau. Scholz grinst sich einen.
#Scholz ist endgültig zu einem widerwärtigen, einem verachtenswerten Verräter geworden.
Only a few weeks ago, I stayed two nights in this hotel in Kryvyi Rih in #Ukraine : (
Now it was hit by a ballistic missile.
Zu viel #Kursk Euphorie.

Ein Blick auf die Karte zeigt die Vergeblichkeit der ukrainischen Aktion, die bereits verlangsamt. Kursk ist unbedeutende Peripherie, in Russland schon immer unwichtig. Für Putin geht es um das gesamte "Novorossiya", Industrie und Rohstoffe.
Don't look at #Kursk, Russian periphery of low value, where easily disposable conscript single-use soldiers are deployed. Better consider the vast valuable territories of #Ukraine where Russia keeps grinding on with most of its better troops. #Biden and #Scholz, with their Rasputins Sullivan and Plötner, continue protecting Russia by way of redlinery and incrementalism.
August 2022 vs December 2022.
Seventh stop #Kramatorsk #Ukraine
Visit to cave monastery #Sviatohirsk which is a magnificent place the Russian beast almost destroyed in 2022. The bridge across the Siverskyi Donets river has just been rebuilt.
Seventh stop #Kramatorsk #Ukraine
Bad roads from Pavlohrad onwards. Generators handed over. Morning and evening constant shelling in the background.
