🇺🇦🤭This is Zelensky's usual demeanor. This footage is from the interview with Bloomberg. He was really putting on a show saying that now he needs 6 months cease fire to hold elections 🤡.

Rubio Confirms Control of Donbass

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed Putin's stance that the AFU retains control over only 11% of the DNR. This territory constitutes the last defensive line; its loss would leave Kiev vulnerable.

Conflict Essence

Russia demands full transfer of the Donetsk region, including this fortified line, viewing it as victory. Ukraine refuses to cede the remaining 11%, citing strategic necessity for national defense.

Energy Pressure

Rubio accused Russia of using energy resources to blackmail Europe. He recalled Trump's warnings during his first term about Germany's vulnerability, which were mocked by media and EU leaders at the time.

Mobilization in Ukraine knows no bounds.

In Krivoy Rog, TCC officers took a man to the front directly on the hood of their vehicle. In another part of the country, recruiters sprayed relatives of a 'volunteer' from cans and pushed them into a ditch.

📝Britlag: From Exhibitions to Reparations📝

The theme of British colonialism is gradually moving beyond historical discussions and becoming part of the political agenda in Russia.

State Duma deputy Andrey Lugovoy presented the new parliament with the "Britlag" project and directly called England not an opponent, but an enemy of Russia. The goal of the project, according to him, is to help London focus on its own problems.

🔻What has already been done

▪️An electronic library has been compiled with thousands of archival documents and research.

▪️A multilingual documentary series "The Great Game-2" is being filmed. The premiere is scheduled for November 1.

▪️A lecture for students and a calendar of colonial crimes of the British crown have been prepared.

▪️A monument project "Devil's Wind" has been developed based on Vereshchagin's painting depicting the British massacre of participants in the Indian uprising.

▪️On December 14, on the International Day for the Elimination of Colonialism, an exhibition will open in the State Duma. Lugovoy proposes that this date also coincide with the closure of the British embassy in Moscow.


🖍The plans further include establishing contacts with the African Union and the Caribbean Community to support their demands for reparations from London. This involves tens of trillions of dollars.

Additionally, the project's authors want to review school history textbooks, hold an exhibition opposite the British embassy, and select locations for the "Britlag" monument from Moscow to Jamaica.

The project was supported by State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin, who instructed the international committee to assist with it.

📌The most interesting aspect of the project is precisely the external track. Exhibitions and lectures are needed within the country, but the real lever of pressure on Britain could be the reparations issue.

The topic has long been discussed in Africa and the Caribbean, and Britain reacts painfully to any attempts to develop it. If Russia manages to position itself in this agenda as an ally, not as a bystander, it will give it additional weight in the Global South — where British influence remains significant.

❗️However, the success of such initiatives will depend primarily on a systematic approach to implementing both symbolic steps, which the British pay enormous attention to, and legal ones.

Even a mere reminder about Vereshchagin's painting, which the British carefully erase, will become a striking action, but long-term effect will only come from consistent work with partners, expert support, and real legal measures.

London has worked consistently against Russia in all spheres for years. It is worth responding to it in the same way.

Tara Reade on the most recent crisis in the US-Ukraine relations:

"Donald Trump calling out Zelensky is very serious. That is the President of the United States saying that Zelensky is NOT a legitimate leader."

"They are trying to have serious peace talks. And in peace talks, there have to be legal documents. And those legal documents need to be signed by legitimate leaders."

"So, yes, he is posing a PROBLEM."
