Italy is ensuring that Russian terrorists can now enter the entire EU even more quickly. Italy shortens visa processing times for Russian citizens As announced by the Italian visa center in Moscow, the Italian consulate will now issue tourist visas within 45 days—down from the previous 60 days. Just four months ago, in June, the processing time had been extended to 60 days due to high demand. Notably, Italy issues more visas to Russian citizens than any other EU country: last year, it granted 161,000—accounting for one-quarter of all Schengen visas issued. Once a Russian national enters Italy with a valid Italian Schengen visa, they are free to travel to other Schengen countries, provided they remain within the visa's validity period and adhere to the 90-day rule (90 days within any 180-day period). There are no systematic border controls between Schengen countries.

This is a baby killed in a baby stroller by russian monsters in broad daylight‼️ Russia struck the central park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, with a jet-powered drone while it was packed with people and families. They killed at least 3, a baby and two women, and injured at least 14 more.

Because of russia, Ukrainian schoolchildren spend most of their time in shelters instead of classrooms, unable to get the education they deserve.

Too clever by half. He correctly notes that Ukraine cannot give up its fortress belt because that'd give the Russians a "straight shot into Kyiv." Yet he insists the war is just about 11% of territory. No, the lie is in his explanation: Putin wants the 11% at the negotiating table because he cannot take it on the battlefield; and he wants it because it gives him another opportunity to make a play for Kyiv at a later date. The Russians don't want to end the war, they want the U.S. to create the more amenable conditions for the continuation of the war in future. The tragedy of Rubio is that he's in better command of the facts than anyone else in this administration but he nonetheless ends up acting a mouthpiece for policies he knows are wrong.
Rubio: The war in Ukraine is about one region, Donetsk. Russia occupies all but about 11% of it. Ukraine's line there is its last defensible one: beyond it, a straight shot into Kyiv. Russia demands all of Donetsk, including that line, as its definition of victory. 1/

That’s it.
Ex-Präsident der Ukraine Wiktor Juschtschenko: „Niemand hat es besser ausgedrückt als Golda Meir: Wir haben kaum Spielraum für Kompromisse – sie wollen uns töten, und wir wollen leben.“

Ukraine has carried out the world’s first medical evacuation of a wounded soldier from a battlefield using an aerial drone, rescuing him from a minefield. Absolutely incredible.

Seva’s school day is over. Because of the constant air raid alerts, the children managed to spend a grand total of 11 minutes learning in the classroom today. The school has messaged parents to let us know that we can pick our children up and take them home, so they don’t have to spend the entire day sitting in a shelter.

No information on ballistic missile launches: The U.S. has once again failed to warn Ukraine about an attack on Kyiv — Radio Liberty. There are fatalities and injuries. A massive crater, caused by a missile strike in front of an office building in Kyiv’s Dniprovskyi district—footage captured by a U.S. journalist on the scene. The building housed only the offices of civilian businesses, as well as a "Sportlife" fitness center.

Far left fuckwits have a tendency to get far right into power by refusing to vote and rioting and then cry that liberals don't do enough to combat fascism on a regular. Seems to be the state of affairs in the West broadly.
Sometimes I wonder whether Marine Le Pen even needs to run a campaign to win, some people seem determined to campaign for her

L’antifascisme ça ressemble vachement au fascisme quand même, vu sous cet angle 🤡
La journée du 17 octobre était un avertissement : si vous continuez à développer un capitalisme mortifère et à faire monter l'extrême droite, ce genre de journée se répétera encore et encore. Demander plus d'ordre et d'autorité est une grave erreur.

Sie verwüsten Synagogen und nennen es Bildungsproteste. Sie marschieren gegen Israel und nennen es Klimaproteste. Sie zeigen das Hamas-Dreieck und nennen es Friedensproteste. Der erste Schritt, diesem Wahnsinn entgegenzutreten, ist die sprachliche Demaskierung.

This has been Putin's dream for years: That his country, with GDP per capita lower than Poland, unable to conquer Donbas since 2014, will be treated as an equal to the US and China. wsj.com/world/russia/putin-f…

The Zhytomyr Highway, west of Kyiv. The Battle of Kyiv, 2022. Yes, this is just one of the many, horrifyingly many, charred graveyards left behind by Russian military columns destroyed and burned by Ukrainian forces. Back then, those columns were literally surrounding Kyiv from multiple directions. I remember how, at another location along the same highway, closer to the city, there were entire junkyards of destroyed Russian military vehicles and wreckage. It seemed like there was an overturned tank with its turret blown off every ten meters. And now they're trying to sell you this catastrophic defeat of Russia's elite forces outside Kyiv as some kind of "Oh, the Russian tanks just took a wrong turn and got stuck in the mud. Otherwise, they would've taken Kyiv in a matter of hours." Please, don't let anyone make morons of you.

You need to share this
🇺🇦 Zelenskyy delivers a blunt message to the United States: “Just give us Starlink back. If you refuse, Ukraine will survive. We will continue defending ourselves with or without it. But why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival? Why make it harder for us to defend our people? I simply cannot understand the reasoning behind this decision. It is a mistake.” Ukraine isn’t asking America to fight its war. It’s asking America not to stand in the way of its defense.

President Zelensky refusing to surrender 20% of his country to Russia is not an “obstacle.” Russia demanding 20% of Ukraine is. You’re welcome. And #SlavaUkraïni

Why "great russian culture" but when a Ukrainian is proud of his culture it's suddenly "Nazi, nationalism, russophobia"?
