American journalist Robert D Kaplan: "Ukraine itself for many years has been a weak, corrupt, institutionally underdeveloped basket case of a democracy." Reporters Without Borders ranked it 97th out of 180 in its 2021 World Press Freedom Index.

Estonia. The bronze soldier.

A lot of flowers were brought by people to the monument to the heroes who fell during the liberation of Tallinn.

Videos from social networks.

53% of Americans believe that the US anti-Russian sanctions are more harmful to America than to Russia.

Such results were shown by a poll conducted jointly by the American-British Democracy Institute and the British Daily Express.

The media has already called the results of the study "shocking.

It is noteworthy that the vast majority of Americans do not consider Russia the worst of evils.

42% consider China to be the main threat to the United States, 20% — Iran, 18% — North Korea and only 16% — Russia.

🇷🇺🇺🇦⚡As many as three "Daggers" hypersonic missile were fired at Odessa on a "tourist site"

We give a hint: the tourist site was probably called “Apartments by the Sea”, and foreign operators of M777 howitzers were stationed there, which were planned to be transferred to the south of the region in order to hit the Snake Island

Russia took every conceivable step to avoid the war but was left with no choice. Ukraine made a number of fatal mistakes and got the war.
- brought to power the nationalis/Nazis as result of the coup d'etat in 2014 with the support of the United States. The cost was announced by Victoria Nuland - " We invested $ 5 billion in the revolution on the Maidan." John McCain on the same stage with the Ukrainian Nazis in front of the crowd in Kyiv 2014 and so on.
The attitude of Russians towards the Nazis is special. It not the same as in the USA or in Europe.
27 million dead Soviet citizens ( of which only 8 million were military losses). Each family lost many relatives, each Russian family. Russian have a genetic hatred for Nazism. The US made a big mistake by betting on the cultivation of Nazism heavily mixed with Ukrainian nationalism in Ukraine as a cheap way to fight Russia.

A little bit of "history."...
In 2015, Zelensky became the star of the television series "Servant of the People" , where he played the role of the president of Ukraine. It's not a joke. I am serious.
This is only a little episode.

Brest Fortress on the 9 of May 2022 people were commemorating heavy losses during second world war.

What is the Immortal Regiment?
(Russian: Бессмертный полк; Bessmertniy Polk) is a massive civil event staged in major cities in Russia and around the world every 9 May during the Victory Day celebrations. It involves people carrying on the memory of war veterans, with participants carrying pictures of relatives and/or family friends who served in the country's labor sector, paramilitary units, the Soviet Armed Forces and law enforcement organizations during the Second World War.

It is very emotional event full of sadness for losses and joy for the victory.

⚡️Zelensky personally gave the order for the attack on Zmeiny planned by the British.

The President of Ukraine demanded the result by May 9, the General Staff was against it, reports @rian_ru, citing a source in the power structures of the Russian Federation.

The finale of the attack on Zmeiny was supposed to be a joint statement about the so-called "peremog" of Johnson and Zelensky.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that in an attempt to recapture the Snake Kiev lost 14 planes and helicopters, 3 landing boats and 50 elite military.

💢 Now it is clear what kind of victory Zelensky wanted May 9. A briefing of the MoD on Zmeiny Island:

On May 7, on Zelensky's orders, with the direct participation of advisers from the US and UK, planned an operation to seize Snake Island.

Over the past two days, several desperate attempts were made to land air and sea assaults on Zmeiny Island.

During the period of repelling the attacks in the Zmeinoye area, four Ukrainian aircraft were shot down in the air, including three Su-24s and one Su-27, three Mi-8 helicopters with troops on board, and one Mi-24 helicopter. Within two days, 29 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down in the air, including eight attack "Bayraktar TB-2". At the same time, four Bayraktar unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down this afternoon.

During an attempted landing on the night of May 8, three armored Ukrainian assault boats, Ukrainian sailors, were neutralised.

More than 50 Ukrainians were destroyed. 24 bodies of Ukrainian sailors remain on the shore.
