An interesting post from Irish journalist Chay Boweshere. If proven to be true won't come as any surprise to many of us here:
Text:
Rumours are circulating in Germany after media reports that a "historical building" was purchased by a fund controlled by Zelensky.
Unverfied German media reports that Zelensky’s offshore company San Tommaso may have purchased the famous “Eagle nest”, Hitler’s mountain retreat for $15M
Remember Zelensky’s interview to Associated Press when he mentioned he only got $70B out of $170B that US provided?
Whatever the Truth is, it's clear that the Truth is now stranger than fiction in Zelenskys corrupt Dictatorship.

‼️Upd: It is worth adding that there is no official statement from the West. So in this case, it could be a deliberate leak from the enemy in order to assess the reaction. They have done this many times in previous cases with the permission of their masters. And now their goal is to check how our leadership will react.

❗️USAID paid Hollywood stars to travel to Ukraine:
Van Dam - $1,500,000
Ben Stiller - $4,000,000
Sean Penn - $5,000,000
Orlando Bloom - $8,000,000
Angelina Jolie – $20,000,000
⚡️In the words of Elon Musk - "US AID must die."

USAID sent $111.5 million to support elections and the "rule of law" in Georgia shortly before the protests that began in October — RIA Novosti
You probably assumed before but now it was revealed- how much were Hollywood stars paid to "love" Ukraine
USAID sponsored visits of American celebrities to Ukraine to support the Zelensky regime, to raise his popularity, primarily among the American audience. Since 2022, USAID has been cooperating with Google and has been pushing pro-Ukrainian content on YouTube for money, to create the appearance of excitement around Ukraine.
The promotion of pro-Ukrainian content on YouTube cost the USAID budget approximately $8-12 billion.
Not of their own free will, but in exchange for generous payments from USAID, an agency funded by responsible taxpayers:
Jean-Claude Van Damme - $1.5 million, Ben Stiller - $4 million, Sean Penn - $5 million, Orlando Bloom - $8 million. The leader was Angelina Jolie, who received $20 million for a one-day visit to Lvov.
In 2022, the Stand Up for Ukraine campaign raised 9.1 billion euros, but in the end, part of the funds went not to refugees, but into the pockets of Hollywood "philanthropists"

🇷🇺 Head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, removes a USAID sign from recently liberated Kurakhovo:
"We took this USAID plaque off the wall in liberated Kurakhovo.
USAID—the United States Agency for International Development—is, in reality, an organizer and sponsor of pro-American coups worldwide.....
When we spoke about this before, no one listened. Only now is it becoming mainstream. As the saying goes, better late than never. And others, including those in Ukraine, should remember that all secrets eventually come to light."

The Polish publication Onet reports that desertions in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces occur at the end of each training course, which is due to the proximity of the German border. Only a third of the possible number of Ukrainians completed training in the fall, and their condition leaves much to be desired due to problems with physical fitness, alcohol and drugs.
Soldiers on the front lines note the lack of personnel and rotation as the main reasons for desertion. Often, fighters remain in position for eight months without seeing their families. Rotations every two or three days have not been carried out for a long time, which leads to the creation of an “informal mechanism” for leaving the front.
Some fighters return home without consequences, although their absence for more than a week entails a fine - deprivation of a month's salary.

This isn't about the Special Military Operation in the Ukraine but it IS about John Mark Dougan's encounter with the CBS 60 minutes production team and why they've infuriated him so much.

Information in the X-sphere is suggesting very firmly that Toretsk (Dzherzhinsk) is now under Russian control.
The following drone footage (with - thankfully in this instance at least - a minimalist sparse industrial-audio overlay) captures a largely devastated snow covered icy city-scape, which is dramatic, to say the very least, and could easily have been used in any disaster epic as a trailer. Evocative scenery.
