🇺🇦 Ukraine's asking for $20 billion to, in their own words, make "Russia burn even more" Air defense, drones, ammunition, long-range strikes. Zelensky's team is asking for the money to turn a Russian military that's bleeding out into one that collapses. And they're asking for it now, before winter closes the window they've been talking about for weeks. "Everyone sees that Russia is burning, and we want it to burn even more" $20 billion to end a war is cheap compared to another winter of it. Source: Politico / Writer: Oliver
🇺🇦🇷🇺 Ukraine's Air Force is warning of an Oreshnik launch within the next 24 hours. This is the missile nobody can shoot down. Nuclear-capable. Russia has used it twice already, Dnipro, then Lviv. Air raid sirens went off across Ukraine last night from a test launch. Source: Ukrainian Air Force Telegram / Writer: Oliver

- Garry Kasparov: "Putin is part of "Dictators International." He's not the boss of bosses....Xi Jinping is behind him. But Putin is at the spearhead of the attack against the free world, his success in Ukraine could untie Xi Jinping's hands for his aggressive agenda."

Parece que anda a circular pela Rússia uma anedota que conta mais ou menos isto: Um dia, o Putin visita uma escola e dá uma palestra sobre como o governo russo é excelente e como a Rússia é o melhor país do mundo. No fim da intervenção, convida o público a fazer perguntas. Um aluno levanta-se e diz: “Olá, o meu nome é Sasha e tenho duas perguntas”. O Putin responde: “Ok, podes perguntar”, e o Sasha diz: “Porque é que a Rússia invadiu a Ucrânia? E porque é que ainda não ganhámos a guerra?”. Nesse preciso momento, toca a campainha e toda a gente vai almoçar. Depois do almoço, a sessão de perguntas e respostas continua e outro aluno levanta-se. “Olá, o meu nome é Boris e tenho quatro perguntas”. “Sim?”, diz o Putin. “Porque é que a Rússia invadiu a Ucrânia? Porque é que ainda não ganhámos? Porque é que a campainha do almoço tocou 20 minutos mais cedo? E onde está o Sasha?”

I was pleased to share the story of Ukraine’s digital ID app, Diia, for the special Defending Australia edition across News Corp regional newspapers. Launched by the Ukrainian Government in early 2020, Diia has become an important pillar of Ukraine’s resilience during Russia’s aggression. It has enabled the government to continue delivering public services to millions of displaced Ukrainians across Europe, while also providing critical services and features for citizens remaining in Ukraine during wartime. Ukraine’s digital transformation program was spearheaded by Deputy Prime Minister @FedorovMykhailo , whose leadership has helped position Ukraine as one of the world’s leading digital governments. Ukraine’s experience demonstrates how technology, innovation and digital governance can strengthen national resilience in times of crisis.

The Churches & the Deportation & Persecution of Jews in Slovakia share.google/wcYKvQdKavhQ7sV… #Slovakia still lives under this disgraceful shadow. They still gloss over the fact they had murdered their fellow country folk in the thousands. Not acknowledging shames to them all

A moment of profound silence in the capital: President Zelenskyy lays flowers at the site where 24 civilians, including three children, were lost to a senseless missile strike. A heartbreaking reminder of the price paid by the innocent in this war of terror. 🕊️🌷

Today is Europe Day. And Ukraine is marking it not formally or through sloganeering, but fully aware that we are already an inseparable part of the European family. We are defending Ukraine, our independence, our future – and in doing so, we in Ukraine are defending our Europe. A Europe of which Ukraine has been and will remain a part. From the first days of the full-scale war until today, Europe has stood with Ukraine. And this is not charity – it is a choice made by Europeans: to stand on the same side as the brave and the strong – the Ukrainians who are fighting today for peace and true protection against tyranny, not only for themselves, but for the entire continent. And we will inevitably defend our state, our people, and our right to freely choose our future – a future in Europe. Glory to Ukraine!
