Perhaps Germany has finally had enough.

For the first time a Russian shadow fleet tanker was barred entry to the Baltic Sea.
The crude oil tanker "Tavian" (1095337) was denied entry to German territorial waters and was forced to turn around. The tanker is now near the coast of Norway and heading for the White Sea.

Indeed.
An update on that Russian official who disappeared in Cyprus. His body was found in a gorge.
It seems the mystery grows.

‼️Russia: “The body of the former head of Uralkali was found at a British military base in Cyprus.”
Um…what?
“The identity of the deceased has not yet been established, but media reports indicate that he is the former head of Uralkali, Vladislav Baumgertner.”

How long before Russia bombs these heating stations?
Kharkiv is freezing too.

‼️400,000 people are without electricity and heating in Kharkiv after a Russian attack on the city. It's -12 degrees Celsius.
How many is 400,000 people?
That's the whole population of cities like Bilbao (Spain), Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Gdansk (Poland), Zurich (Switzerland).

This is what Russia has done to every town along the front.

Once a cozy, peaceful Kupiansk. Today, a town that russia has turned into ruins and utter desolation 😢
When Kupiansk was liberated by the Ukrainian army, it was intact. Our forces did not bomb it to drive the enemy away. But years of daily Russian attacks followed.

Yes, we took Kupiansk and then we marched all the way to Berlin.

Russian West Group commander Kuzovlev again claimed full Kupiansk control to Defense Minister Belousov, but Russian military bloggers suddenly got furious, calling it pure lies and accusing commanders of fabricating reports while failing to stop Ukrainian forces.

Another 1,390 Russians who were killed/maimed for the greater glory of Tsar Vlad. Plus 6 tanks.
Let’s check in on the Russian economy.
The revenge of Nicholas II.
If he loves Russia so much, let him stay there.
Blah, blah, blah. All talk, no action.

US Senator Roger Wicker rebutted Donald Trump’s claim that Ukraine is prolonging the war, arguing that the real responsibility lies with Vladimir Putin, who talks about peace while escalating his assault on Ukraine. Wicker called Putin the most dangerous threat facing the West today.

This guy needs to wake up and smell the karma.
The Russian army is nothing more than a thugocracy.
I did not embed the first post about this because it has a graphic bloody image attached to it. You can find it here if you like.
1/ Russian soldiers are being kept in cages, tortured with dildos, and threatened with murder to force them to hand over money to corrupt commanders, according to complaints from the men and their relatives: "Colonels and generals are involved—they're all connected."
….
3/ According to one soldier, men serving with the regiment are being subjected to systematic extortion, threats, and violence at the regiment's base in the village of Sergeevka in the Primorsky Krai region of southern Russia.
4/ He complains that commanders demanded money from him, threatening physical violence, sending him to the front lines, and "resetting" (murdering) him. Ultimately, he says, he was forced to hand over 300,000 rubles ($3,821).
5/ The man says that his commander "shoved a phallus [dildo] up my ass ... because I didn't give him money." He was beaten and lost an eye.
6/ A local activist says that "the lawlessness is extreme, that they're shoving dildos up the asses of young men, even combat veterans... This complete lawlessness exists. Colonels and generals are involved—everyone is tied up."
7/ According to complaints, since early December 2025, men from the unit – including disabled men with amputations – are being held in cages for prolonged periods and subjected to violence and abuse, including being wrapped in duct tape and beaten.
This sounds like a made-up charge. His real crime is probably something like not sharing enough graft or sleeping with the boss’ wife.

World Central Kitchen would be a much more worthy Nobel Peace Prize recipient than the most recent recipient.
In every war there are people who try to enrich themselves.
Poland steps up.
Italy steps up.

Italy has begun delivering high-capacity industrial boilers (550 to 3000 kW) worth €1.85 million to help Ukraine’s hardest-hit communities, confirms Foreign Minister Sybiiha. He emphasized that in response to Russia’s winter terror, Ukraine is operating in emergency mode to secure energy support.
