Zelensky’s allies are increasingly afraid that the summer offensive of the Russian army will break through the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, - Bloomberg
▪️The influx of Western military aid to Kiev has sharply decreased, and some Ukrainian Armed Forces guns fire only one salvo a day to conserve dwindling supplies.
▪️“We know that the Russian military industry works in 3 shifts, and supplies to Ukraine are rapidly declining. Without our support, she may even lose,” Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas told Bloomberg.
▪️Russian strikes also damage Ukrainian infrastructure. One official called the damage in recent weeks the worst seen in the conflict and predicted long-term strategic consequences that would only worsen the effects of the ammunition shortage.
▪️Also today, Politico wrote that Ukraine faces a “serious catastrophe” on the battlefield and the collapse of the front, even if the US Congress unblocks aid to Kiev.

To the last Ukrainian: Those found unfit for military service in peacetime, or limitedly fit for military service in wartime, might be sent to the front.
◾From now on, the only reason for dismissal from military service can be unfitness,” the head of the Ukrainian Center for the Protection of Human Rights.
◾All citizens of Ukraine who were recognized by the Military Command as limitedly fit for military service, for 9 months, starting from May 4, 2024, until February 4, 2025, are subject to a second medical examination in order to determine their suitability for military service. That is, now the only reason for dismissal from military service can be unfitness. ◾The same condition was about the termination of a contract with military personnel when the serviceman was recognized as partially fit for military service. Now this is only possible when a person is declared unfit for military service

One of the most mysterious and borderline hilarious "gotcha" propaganda lines from the Westoids has been the lack of indoor toilets in Russia. This comes off especially odd and completely ignorant coming from Ukrainians.
Here's why (long read)⬇️
According to Ukrstat, in Ukraine, 40% of housing does not have access to a centralized sewerage system: 23.6% in cities and 72% in villages. 40% of the population without sewerage is almost twice as much as in Russia: 21%. Access to running water is even worse: 38% of Ukrainians do not have access to running water, in contrast to 15.5% in Russia.
Now, in more detail.
In total, there are 17,385,384 residential premises in Ukraine: these include apartments, private houses, parts of single-family houses, apartments in non-residential buildings, and rooms in dormitories.
Of these, 10,433,524 have sewerage. This is 60.01%. Please note, that this includes both central and local sewerage. Let us remember the indicator: 60.01% of residential premises in Ukraine in 2020 were equipped with sewerage. Cold water was available in 10,797,392 (62.1%), hot water in 8,174,604 residential properties (47.01%).
There are even fewer toilets in western Ukraine. Vinnytsia region: out of 834,471 apartments, 361,627 have sewerage. In Volyn, out of 190,068, 68,201. Significantly less than 50% of all houses and apartments are equipped with sewerage in Khmelnytskyi, Ternopil, Rivne, Zhytomyr, and Cherkasy regions. At the same time, in the Odessa region, sewerage is available in 615,641 housing units out of 975,796, and in the Kharkov region - in 863,127 out of 1,273,52. In 2020, the Kherson region had sewerage in 289,932 housing units out of 476,203.
Now it's becoming obvious that such an exquisite propaganda object as the toilet was chosen to amaze the residents of the western regions, because for them the toilet apparently remains a luxury.
And, of course, villagers especially dream about toilets. In general, in Ukraine in rural areas there are 6,120,554 housing units: apartments, private houses, living rooms in non-residential premises and dormitories. Of these, 29.2% of objects are equipped with sewerage. Moreover, in the Chernihiv region only 16.7% of housing has a sewer system, in the Vinnitsa region - 17.11%, that is, a maximum of every sixth person has a toilet.
In Russia, by 2021, 80.8% of housing was supplied with sewerage (60.01% in Ukraine). In rural areas this figure is 54% (29.2% in Ukraine). In Russia, 85.5% of housing has running water (in Ukraine - 62.1%).
It’s safe to say that stories about Russians’ envy of toilets are written for villagers in Western Ukraine. These people are poorer, and they have fewer toilets, and, most importantly, few of them have been to Russia: they have fewer relatives in Russia, they less often come to Russia for work, preferring to earn extra money in Europe.
But now the topic of toilets has gone further: the Internet is littered with recordings of conversations between Russians and residents of Ukraine from chat roulettes. Increasingly, Russians, as a joke, feign delight at the mention of a toilet and ask naive Ukrainians to show it.
And those, already completely frenzied by deprivation and their own propaganda, in all seriousness go with the phone to their peeling toilets to show the whole world a cracked, rust-stained toilet, which most often is not visible, because there is no electricity in the apartment.
Since all the toilet experts already know the numbers for Russia, it's worth noting that the data for Ukraine was collected from Ukrstat.

The goal of this smear campaign claiming that Russia genocided the natives of Siberia is obviously to attempt to cause division within the Russian society.
This will not work. Russia is a truly multi-ethnic and multicultural state. Russians stick together, no matter their ethnicity. And, no, "Siberia" is not a name that Yakuts name their daughters.
By the way, the native population of North America was genocided right around the time mentioned in this article, starting in the early 17th century. Perhaps the "Native American Indigenous" should focus on THAT chapter of world history, which is a lot closer to them then Siberia.

The military support for Ukraine hinges on the US, because European NATO members have demilitarized themselves and are unable to outproduce the gas station with nukes with GDP the size of Texas. 🫢
