When Remchukov writes in the NG that Putin is ready to stop the war on the current frontline, he speaks for himself. It’s not a signal from the Kremlin. He says many out-of-the-box things by the standards of systemic intellectual in today’s Russia. All the time. But that’s not

What status quo ante bellum, I am sorry? Ukraine lost swathes of territory and heaps of infrastructure, dozens of thousands killed, millions of citizens who fled and will never return, more who will flee as soon as the borders are open. Putin waged a punitive war, the whole

Going back to the exact status quo ante bellum that enabled Russia to invade Ukraine is not a serious approach to end the war in Ukraine — as everyone knows.

A very detailed thread on one of the most prominent international neo-nazi platforms originating in Russia and largely based in Ukraine with the backing of local security services.

Easter ceasefire shows that truce is possible, Zelensky said in his daily video address. Confirms what I wrote earlier today.

Not unexpectedly, Putin chose not to prolong the ceasefire which was at least partially implemented over the Easter weekend. Both sides reported a markedly lower intensity of hostilities and the absence of aerial attacks. With their advantage on the frontline, the Russians have

Zelensky will get 102% of all votes in elections, says his key former ally Dmytro Razumkov. How will he get it? He’ll place mobilisation officers next to every polling station and they will send all those who disagree to the frontline. Razumkov was the leader of Zelensky’s https://t.co/oPyAf8TQyI

Pope Francis was an example of decency and genuine humanism which global elites so acutely lack. So rare today, hard to identify any prominent equivalents at all.

Not that Putin’s envoy couldn’t have learned about Pope’s death without the US vice-president. But there is a relationship (and another echo chamber on this platform) to be built.

It’s Easter for both main ancient branches of Christianity, but for Azov-affiliated neo-nazis from the Russo-Ukrainian Wotanjugend platform, April 20 is the birthday of their own god. A post on the Wotanjugend channel has one word with an exclamation mark - “Hitler!”. https://t.co/qA0XXMMrO8

Johnson channels full-blown Zhirinovsky with random BS; says young people don’t party and drink like he did back in the days. Well, the link between his Covid parties and war in Ukraine is yet to be investigated. Strong wag the dog vibes there. https://t.co/PIW3dl2EbC

Interesting that after Arestovych mocked Zelensky’s initial knee-jerk reaction to Putin’s proposal, Zelensky did exactly as Arestovych suggested - offered a longer truce, thus returning the ball into Putin’s court. https://t.co/Cn1ULlPr0T
