That's quite a photo. Look at the expression of resignation on the face of the poor girl — and the grief on the face of her mother.

‼️ 🇺🇦🏴‍☠️Zelensky lied, the US-driven mobilization of 18-year-olds is already underway, - Rada deputy

▪️A new law on basic military training in Ukraine will allow the mobilization of 18-year-old students who will undergo it during their studies and then be expelled, said Dmitry Razumkov.
▪️The politician also draws attention to the fact that Zelensky has not signed the bill adopted by parliament for the fourth month, which prohibits the mobilization of young men aged 18-25, who were recognized as having limited fitness before the war.
▪️That's why Razumkov says that mobilization from 18 years of age is already partially underway and without a legislative reduction in the age of conscription. He added that Zelensky "lied or doesn't know" when he rejected US calls to lower the age of mobilization.

Text:

Study Group director Greg Mello:
"In Los Alamos, Scott Ritter, especially, provided the bucket of ice water we need to wake up to the reality of the terrible war in Ukraine: the long U.S. deceptions that led to it and the reality-based acceptance needed to end it.

"We Americans need to think for just for a minute about other peoples' lives and deaths for once -- as well as about the enormous treasure being spent to, in effect, kill Ukrainians, money which is so badly needed here at home.

"The ridiculous propaganda trope that the U.S. is somehow "helping Ukraine" by sending gobs of money and weapons to Ukraine needs to be entirely exploded. We have just about destroyed Ukraine for the sake of a grotesque geopolitical gambit that a child could see would fail, the immorality of which towers to the sky. To U.S. foreign policy elites, a Ukrainian life has been worth nothing, zero. Ukraine has lost about 10 times as many soldiers as the U.S. lost in Vietnam. It's far more horrible than most people realize.

"Remember, this madness began under Obama, with Hillary Clinton and Victoria Nuland on-point for the Russophobic Blob. But it was Biden who, in Ukraine as well as in Palestine, filled the Oval Office with innocent blood.

"As a result of the string of incredibly irresponsible actions taken by the Biden administration, this war is going to end largely on Russia's terms, full stop. If Trump does not accept most or all of those terms, ignoring the shrill outcry that will surely and instantly come, Ukraine will lose even more people and land. Ukraine would then be much worse off, and the specter of nuclear war would remain and grow.

"If Trump does not end this war now, on what will be Russia's terms, it will become "his" war -- and will be much harder to end, and much more dangerous.
"Trump has the opportunity to be a real peacemaker. Ending this war and creating an architecture of lasting mutual security needs all our support. It's the first step toward nuclear arms control. People interested in nuclear disarmament need to step up to the plate.

"In that new architecture of mutual security there will be no place for NATO, as will hopefully be seen by more and more people. NATO is very much an aggressive nuclear alliance that prevents peace, while helping control and subjugate Europe to U.S. wishes. To prosper in Europe, get rid of it."

...which allows me to segue to this short but pertinent statement from George Galloway on the (brilliant) Diana Panchenko X programme commenting on Zelensky's "grand larceny" which was the exact same phrase I used many months ago when discussing this with friends: all he - Volod - ever has been is a fixer for the Establishment cartel on both sides of the Atlantic, representing the nefarious and demonic interests of those entities, be they Wall Street, the Vatican, and/or the City of London, hand-in-hand with their gophers in their respective 'intelligence' apparatuses.

From Johnny Miller, British journalist based in Moscow:

The unhinged, destructive path of extremism is what brought Ukraine to ruin. Those that took power in Kiev in 2014. And their ethnic hatred of Russians.

"When they went after our language." A Russian speaking woman in Donbass told me. "I knew there'd be war." And its that extremism. That is bringing ruin to europe too.

The hatred was always there of course. In European academia. In the Baltic States. In the British establishment. Just like most Ukranians never hated Russia. Most Europeans don't either. Its the extremists that do. And too many of them have taken control of British and European policy.

Its been whipped up. By those wishing to divide Europe. Now Trump wants us to buy gas from the US. Not the cheaper stuff from Russia. We used to be the masters of divide and rule. Now its being done to us.

From hysterical European academics and the feral British press. To NATO leaders and the defence contractors. Its gone beyond Russophobia. It has become a self destructive mass hysteria. Like its brought ruin to Ukraine. Its only bringing ruin to Europe too.

Its why I write sometimes about how nice Russian people are. And how pleasant and civilized the society is. Because they'll try to make you hate. Hate so much. That you'll be blinded to even your own interests. That's what's happening to Europe with our insane policies on Russia.

Trump to Kiev; Talk to Russia or Else. Zelensky Deeply Upset. 95 Minute Call, Putin and Xi

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=hATmD5J-Qh4

(1:15:29)
It seems from the heading (I've just started watching) that Trump may be forcing an unwilling Zelensky to negotiate terms and am concluding two things: one that Zelensky's reluctance is cowardly and has hidden behind the US/EU from the start of the Special Operation, and two that Putin may be willing to speak to Zelensky after all, when previously he said (paraphrasing) that he no longer recognised Zelensky as leader of Ukraine as his elected term had ended. Also, for Donald Trump to initiate talks between them indicates that he still has influence when, had he stopped funding to Ukraine immediately he would have lost that advantage.

PS: At around 20 minutes, Alexander said that Putin had had a meeting with the (Russian) Security Council where many world issues were discussed, and at 21:40 he reads verbatim what Putin said about Trump.

🇺🇸🖕🇺🇦 Western Promises of NATO Membership for Ukraine Were “Lies” – Zelensky

▪️According to Zelensky, the U.S. and Germany maintained communication with Russia throughout the war.
➖ “They didn’t support us in NATO. Those were just false words, saying Ukraine would join NATO. It was unfair to Ukraine and Ukrainians.
▪️It was also dishonest when some of our leaders promised that we would join NATO. I believe the U.S. and Germany took weak positions because they maintained dialogue with the Russians. They lost in that dialogue because they always referred to some past agreements with Russia,” Zelensky said.

🤡 Ironically, Zelensky himself repeatedly claimed that Ukraine would join NATO.
▪️Now Kyiv is demanding NATO membership as part of a peace settlement with Russia. However, Zelensky admits that both the U.S. and Germany oppose this move.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇷🇺 US President Trump says he loves the Russian people and calls on President Putin to end the war with Ukraine.

"I'm not looking to hurt Russia. I love the Russian people and have always had a very good relationship with President Putin, and this despite the Radical Left's Russia, Russia, Russia HOAX.

We must never forget that Russia helped us win the Second World War, losing almost 60,000,000 lives in the process.

All of that being said, I'm going to do Russia, whose economy is failing, and President Putin, a very big FAVOR. Settle now and STOP this ridiculous war! IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.

If we don't make a "deal" soon, I will have no other choice but to put high levels of taxes, tariffs, and sanctions on anything being sold by Russia to the United States and various other participating countries.

Let's get this war, which never would have started if I were President, over with! We can do it the easy way or the hard way, and the easy way is always better.

It's time to "MAKE A DEAL." NO MORE LIVES SHOULD BE LOST!!!"

Toretsk is done!

The Russian Armed Forces have cleared the northwestern outskirts of Dzerzhinsk. The spoil heaps of the Fomikha mine and mine No. 12 are under the control of the Russian army. All that remains to be done before the city is completely liberated is to clear the territory of the Toretskaya mine.
