“Ukraine – Russia”

At a fashionable Moscow address a few blocks from the Russian prime minister’s office stands a gated office complex.

It is on the north bank of the Moskva, just across the river from Stalin’s towering Hotel Ukraine and a few minutes from one of Moscow’s best known Ukrainian restaurants. Those aren’t the only Ukrainian connections in the area.

Inside the complex at 12 Krasnopresnenskaya is the headquarters, secret until now, of an international spy network that infiltrated the highest ranks of President Zelensky’s government.

Volodymyr Zelensky unleashed a foul-mouthed verbal assault on Tucker Carlson who recently accused the Ukrainian President of ruling Ukraine as a dictator.

Zelensky did not hold back while furiously dismissing the political commentator’s claims, which included allegations of silencing Russian-speaking citizens and going so far as murdering political opponents.

Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Zelensky called Carlson a mouthpiece for Russian President Vladimir Putin, with his frustration boiling over as he delivered an impassioned response, telling the controversial broadcaster to ‘stop working for Putin, stop licking his a**.’

'Regrettably this blogger… he works for Putin because he wants to lower me to the level of Putin.'

A dictator is someone who ignores elections and rules by violence. Zelensky meets that definition but Piers Morgan loves him anyway.

A Russian drone attack killed a British teenager on his first combat mission after joining the Ukrainian army.

James Wilton, who had recently turned 18 and was from Huddersfield, is the youngest Briton to have died defending Ukraine from Vladimir Putin’s invasion.

While walking across a field with a group of international fighters delivering supplies to the front line on July 23 last year, he was spotted and chased by three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

About 90 Patriot missiles from Israel are being sent to Ukraine in a transfer facilitated by the United States, according to a US defense official.

The missiles had been in storage in Israel, which operated Patriot air defense systems for more than 30 years before retiring them in April. Discussions about transferring the missiles from Israel to Ukraine have been ongoing since last summer, when Biden administration officials were hopeful the effort might allow the unused missiles to be sent to Kyiv to aid in its war with Russia.

Iuliia Slabinska sent her son to study in Canada in 2021, months before Russia launched a war against their homeland, Ukraine. He was just turning 16.

In August 2022 — six months after the Russian invasion — she, her husband and younger daughter arrived in Langley, B.C., under the Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel program. The CUAET program offered temporary refuge to almost 300,000 displaced Ukrainians with work and study permits, before it shut down last March.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization mounted its first coordinated response to the suspected sabotage campaign against critical infrastructure, after another underwater data cable was severed in the Baltic Sea.

NATO vessels raced to the site of a damaged fiber-optic cable in Swedish waters on Sunday morning, where a trio of ships carrying Russian cargo, including one recently sanctioned by the U.S., were nearby. All three vessels are now being investigated as part of a probe into suspected sabotage of the fiber optic cable, according to several European officials. One ship was detained Sunday.

Over the last decades, the representatives of left liberal movement, whether they are high-ranking officials, opposition, social activists or even ordinary citizens, are used to spreading and guiding everyone with “the only proper course” that serves faithfully to their own views and interests.

Any deviation from the imposed mainstream agenda results at least in a public shaming expressed by the internet army of liberals or even in full cancellation.

At the same time, the key leverages they use can vary.

Vladimir Putin today declared that the war in Ukraine could have been averted had Donald Trump not been ‘robbed of the election’ in 2020.

Describing his armed forces’ full-scale invasion of their neighbour in February 2022 as a ‘crisis’, Putin told state media the horrific bloodshed that has blighted eastern Europe for almost three years would not have happened under a Trump presidency.

‘I cannot but agree with him that if he had been president, if his victory had not been stolen from him in 2020, then perhaps there would not have been the crisis in Ukraine that arose in 2022,’ the Russian president said.

As soldiers fighting for Ukraine try to hold onto the hundreds of square kilometres they seized in Russia’s Kursk region in August, some describe facing relentless waves of determined North Korean troops, Russian units with improved tactics, and Ukraine’s own struggles with exhaustion and sinking morale.

“I honestly don’t think we’re going to be able to hold it for much longer,” said Chapi, a foreign fighter who spoke to CBC in the Sumy region in northeastern Ukraine, about 15 km from the Russian border.

Odd coming from the CBC.

At the World Economic Forum in Davos this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made what may be a final gambit as speculation around negotiations with Russia becomes unavoidable. Addressing European leaders, he provided a reminder that the war in Ukraine, now featuring thousands of North Korean troops, is happening on their doorstep.

A surrendering North Korean soldier risked his life by refusing to drop his sausage at gunpoint, according to the Ukrainian paratroopers who captured him.

A detailed video account, published by Ukrainian special forces, described how the soldier refused to lay down his food, while one of his compatriots tried to kill himself by running into a pillar.

They later asked to watch Korean romance films, the Ukrainians said.

This is absolutely insane.

A Russian soldier shared his "review" of a North Korean stew that he received from his North Korean comrades, unsure what kind of meat it was.

It was dog meat.

The label indicates "Yellow Dog Meat"—with *누렁이* referring to the Korean native… pic.twitter.com/KAWIuo4Fl4
