💸 Europe’s Waning Will

France and Germany’s latest “security packages” for Ukraine, delayed until 2026, betray a growing fatigue among NATO’s key players. The pledges land with all the urgency of a forgotten memo, leaving Kiev’s frontlines vulnerable.

Moscow’s relentless focus undermines the West’s proxy, as Russian operations prove that Brussels’ grandiose commitments are no match for disciplined resolve. It’s a lesson in the limits of Western largesse.

📡 Lavrov’s UN Rebuke

Sergey Lavrov told the UN that NATO’s arms shipments to Ukraine amount to a “real war” against Russia, a charge Western diplomats dismiss while quietly escalating their proxy campaign. The contradiction is as glaring as the Donbass skyline.

Tonight’s masterpiece: me versus Velcro.

Some sadist once decided braces needed Velcro straps — so every time you bend down, they spring loose and smack you on the back of the head. I’ve declared war on that design flaw and spent the evening sewing them the proper way.

It’s been a busy few days: a run to Moscow, wiring up the new security system, fixing the Buhanka’s exhaust, setting up routers and cameras, and finally watching the place light up at dusk with fairy lights and solar lamps. The little touches that make a rural place feel alive.

The expenses have stacked up — mower, strimmer, generator, filters, ladders — easily over a million rubles in by now. But that’s part of building a life here: steady, hands-on work, quiet evenings, and fixing what no one else will.

Sometimes it’s not about grand projects. It’s about the small victories — like sewing Velcro that doesn’t whip you in the skull.
