2/ Hundreds of thousands of russians make their living off the front — from factories to trenches.

Economists warn: without the defense sector, russia is already in a recession. Everything is collapsing — only the military-industrial complex is holding up.

3/ But the Kremlin’s biggest fear is the “heroes of the special military operation.” Tens of thousands of wounded, brutalized men, accustomed to easy money will return to impoverished regions with no jobs and no prospects.

4/ A surge in violence and crime is expected. Experts are already comparing this looming wave to the return of Afghan and Chechen war veterans in the 1990s.

5/ So Putin will fight as long as he can. He only pretends to want "peace" with Ukraine. Because peace means the end — not just of the regime, but of the lies it’s built on.

The King of Denmark visiting Greenland’s capital city, Nuuk.

People are actually happy to see him. In contrast, JD Vance and his wife wanted to visit Nuuk, but had to cancel the trip because no one wanted to meet them.

The scariest photo in my gallery…

It was taken a second after I saved a soldier’s life—and a second before we lost the entire evacuation team to a russian ambush.

A thread about war, loss, and the moment something inside me broke.

2/ That evening, we got word: a badly wounded man was still on the battlefield.

He’d been lying there for hours, motionless, while a russian drone hovered above—waiting to spot and destroy any rescue attempt.

3/ But our company commander took the risk.

He ran through open fire, reached the wounded man, and dragged him to shelter.

They made it.

Barely.

4/ I rushed there late at night. His body was cold. His veins had collapsed. Five, six attempts to insert an IV—nothing.

Finally, by some miracle, one last try worked.

His blood pressure rose. We exhaled. He was stable.

We had hope.

5/ The evac team arrived. We loaded him into the vehicle.

I told him: “That’s it, boy. Hold on. The doctors are waiting. Just a little longer, and everything will be fine.”

They drove away.

6/ I sat down.

My combat medic snapped a photo of me at that very moment—relieved, exhausted, thinking we had won one small battle.

A second later, we heard a massive explosion.

Then silence.

7/ Our evacuation team never made contact again.

The russians had waited. Then they killed them all.

Everyone in that vehicle—gone.

8/ When I joined the army, people asked: “Are you here to avenge your husband?”

I said no. I was here to save lives.

Even enemy lives. I treated prisoners. It was my duty.

8/ When I joined the army, people asked: “Are you here to avenge your husband?”

I said no. I was here to save lives.

Even enemy lives. I treated prisoners. It was my duty.

10/ I won’t treat your wounded. I don’t care about your Geneva Conventions, your “humanity.”

Damn you, russians.

You. Your children. Your grandchildren.

For every life, every grief, every scream you’ve brought to my land.
