Every March for the past 5yrs reopens wounds that will never heal. These days, russians committed Mariupol genocide, massacred families in the northern regions who tried to flee and evacuate.
We must never forget. Every child shot by the invaders. Every innocent soul. We owe justice to them.
Guess who is, via an investment firm in Milan, one of several owners of this nice hotel in KitzbΓΌhel in Austria?
The Austrian newspaper @derstandard.at found out it is Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's religious leader - no less.

A phantom refinery: How Georgia helps Putin bypass oil sanctions
Georgia exported $56M of what it claimed to be its own petroleum products in January 2026. The surge may be due to a new Black Sea coast refinery that takes deliveries from βshadow fleetβ ships, owned by a family with ties to Russia.
As I have said since Feb 2025, Trump is in office to solve Putin's problems. How else are you going to ensure that Putin's failed state becomes prosperous? it is already having to be propped up by China.

Here we go⦠18 year old Russian boy captured or better say, liberated by a year older 19 year old Ukraine boy.
Do we call these men adults already? My goodness, this is all so sad.
Ukraine has become one of the smartest, most creative, and most nimble militaries in the world out of necessity.
The fact that theyβre helping the US stop drone attacks in the Gulf is a case in point. So much to learn here.
The UK & Europe must keep up its support!

The most imminent nuclear risk to Europe is not a nuclear strike.
It's an accident occurring in the largest nuclear power plant in Europe -
in Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.

Reports indicate russia used a new missile, βIzdeliye-30,β with a warhead of about 800 kg in the strike on Kharkiv.
One can almost imagine the thought process: "would that be enough to obliterate a five-story apartment building? Letβs find out."
