Trumps “blood fuel” can’t seem to find a home🤔
🧵Three blacklisted supertankers holding 140,000 tons of Russian fuel are drifting in circles in the Atlantic because the White House begged US traders to buy Putin's diesel, and literally zero buyers answered the phone. 1/🧵

Ukraine has resumed its attacks on Russian oil refineries: the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in the Samara region—one of the largest in the area—has been targeted. A major fire is raging at the site, and thick black smoke is rising over the city.

Very true. 👇🏻 The Ukrainians have woken us up to the grim reality of our underinvestment in the military. With their blood, they've bought us time. Their fight is our fight. This 10 billion investment was the right call, we now need to get the military budget where it needs to be
Domestic reporting is missing the importance of this - the £10bn could have taken UK defence spending to 3%, instead we have given it to Ukraine, and made the calulation that their survival is more important in the short term. Its bold and courageous.

Was Musk’s humanitarian stance and reinforcement of contract terms in Ukraine just a cover for an old-fashioned shake-down by a monopoly?

I know things. Yes, a vague post. It's not good. It is in no way related to Ukraine or Russia. The world is about to change for the worse. We've warned about this for years. Hopefully, someone will take a stand. If you watch carefully, the signs are there.

If this guy has a mortgage we need to crowd fund its payoff.!!
Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Tesco are making £4bn a year in profit. About 50% of their staff are on Universal Credit. Why don't we crackdown on this unneeded benefit for billionaires?

This Irishman is proud of UK’s support of Ukraine @PaulNiland, and proud of the small part I have played in that support. 🇺🇦🤝🇬🇧 We are the main bastards 👊🇬🇧
I want to thank successive governments in the UK for standing with Ukraine and being such staunch supporters and partners. Thank you to the good people of the UK.

The barbarian in the Kremlin destroyed more innocents this morning The US calls him a humanitarian
A horrific Russian strike on the railway station in Dnipro. The Russians launched a drone attack on a platform where an ordinary commuter train and a scheduled passenger train were standing. Unfortunately, 13 people have been confirmed killed as of now. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Ten more people were injured. All necessary emergency services are working at the scene. Just how many terrorist strikes has Russia carried out against our people since sanctions were lifted on certain Russian oligarchs and the Russian energy sector, rather than de-escalating? This is precisely why Ukraine has always said that just and decisive action by America and Europe is needed in response to Russian escalation – sanctions against Moscow and its war machine must not be eased for as long as this Russian war continues. It is time for new, stronger sanctions steps by the EU, the United States, and the G7. I thank everyone who is ready to help in this way.

Watch developments closely. I find it odd that Russia even has a human rights commissioner frankly, I certainly didn’t see one while I was being electrocuted, beaten and sentenced to death. There’s an irony in portraying yourself as a humanitarian while standing amid the chaos and death your country helped orchestrate.
Humanitarian Mission in Oleshky: Delivering Humanitarian Aid to Everyone in Need ℹ️ We are currently in Armiansk, working alongside Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova and coordinating further steps within the framework of this mission. Journalists from three countries have also joined us to cover the mission. Everything has now been prepared to a high standard. We are delivering humanitarian aid to the residents of Oleshky. Our main task is to ensure that this assistance reaches every person in need. Particular attention is being paid to older people, persons with disabilities, and anyone who is unable to care for themselves due to their health condition or other circumstances. Twenty-five buses with a total capacity of 750 passengers have been prepared, along with ambulances for people with limited mobility. ❗️Another equally important priority is ensuring that civilians have the opportunity to leave the city. Everyone who wishes to leave Oleshky will be given the opportunity to do so safely. At the same time, those who decide to remain will be able to stay and will receive all the necessary humanitarian assistance. At this stage, it is equally important that both sides observe the ceasefire. I would also like to express my special gratitude to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We continue our work. I thank Russian Human Rights Commissioner Yana Lantratova for her cooperation in carrying out this mission. ☝️Special thanks to U.S. @FLOTUS for her mediation and coordination efforts. Our work is ongoing. I will keep you informed about further steps and results.

Try it. I fucking double dare you. Just give me a fucking excuse to not operate within the AFU framework and go full fucking rogue on russia.
‼️Putin: “We are ready for war with Europe in 2030, but we don’t want any war” Is the dictator announcing his plans?

Remember this name: #LANTRATOVA. She will undoubtedly end up on the list of those convicted by the International Criminal Court @ICC for the abduction of #Ukrainian children, their deportation, forced assimilation, genocide, ethnocide, and so on. Yet today, this Russian bitch—displaying the boundless brazenness so characteristic of Russians—poses as a respectable official, while @lubinetzs keeps saying how glad he is to see her.

So annoying because during a space in 2023 me and @DMBrookfield and @FuriousManiati and others were saying:- You can’t fire a SAM like Patriot at EVERYTHING . Guns and ECM. Guns and ECM. Guns and ECM.

Update: UK Civil Defence aid run #75 to Ukraine delayed by about one day after wheel bearing repair. Volunteers reorganised vehicles and reloaded medical supplies plus winter tyres from Polish volunteers for our ambulance and evacuation vehicles in Ukraine. With over 650 vehicles donated via Wheels of Victory and UK4UA in four years, we've loaded nearly 300 winter tyres from Polish groups. We will win together, as never again is now. #StandWithUkraine️ #NAFO #CivilDefence #UK

This is demonstrably true. Previously, each Vatnik Soup thread received between 300k and 5M impressions. Now, we're lucky if we get 100k. Our annual views have dropped from 700M to 280M. Posts about Ukraine shared by accounts with millions of followers barely get any traction, whereas our more generic posts about AI, for example, can get millions of views. Ukraine is still one of the hottest topics on this platform, yet voices supporting the country are being throttled, just like Starlink/Starshield was.
Elon Musk has done to x what he did to starlink. That’s why pro Ukraine posts get almost no coverage

Don’t get that pumped just yet, Serbia’s election-winning Student List intends to halt arms sales reaching Ukraine through Western intermediaries, while rejecting sanctions on Russia and remaining reliant on Russian gas. A change of government doesn’t necessarily mean a change of direction.
As Trump’s world starts to cave in, so does Putin’s. Make no mistake, he is under serious pressure.
