The irony of Russia seeking compensation from Ukraine from destroying Nordstream makes me chuckle

[@The_ZeroLine]

And as all the backsliding on buying Russian energy shows, they were right to. France, Spain and Belgium could give two 💩s about Ukraine as is clear from their pathetic support and huge recent Russia energy purchases.

[@MC-el2us]

Literally me rn

[@richardwilson57]

since ukraine is essentially fully funded by the USA..... they are spot on :)) PS. its no coincidence that US LPG suppliers are in record profits now that the Russian gas supply line has been cut.

[@sammenter1]

Makes me feel disgusted

If I wanted to disable a pipe that I own and operate, I'd probably just turn off the tap rather than blowing it up.

[@leannastoufer6333]

I do appreciate "the mind of Dom," and your thoughts on getting more detail into the statements of support. The caring, courage, wisdom and clarity of the Maidan still resonate today. I stand with Ukraine. 💛💙

`The caring, courage, wisdom and clarity of the Maidan still resonate today` lol just lol what an idiotic statement 🤣

It is so true that the science establishment is part of what makes a country and so much can be lost. Also that so many lessons can be learned.

[@kevinoliver788]

Well if he survives as many attempts that the USA did on Castro then he will be fine

[@SaMiDauSiEuCuParerea-cf4zm]

The story of Maidan reminds me of the Romanian Revolution in 1989 and 1990 and the student protests against the "neo" communists in 1990 (the Golaniad and the Mineriad).

Interesting to hear about the scientific aspect of life in aUkraine. I'd be interested to know also about what the situation currently is with institutional and scientific collaboration with Russian researchers. Is there a general ban from Western institutions? Can the Russians still get visas?

Is the Ukraine really likely to ever join the EU, or is it just talk talk talk?

[@burritosls]

it's just talk talk talk

[@Rutyos]

Yes, if it is beneficial for the EU. Money to be made in rebuilding a country, it has good soil and minerals and oil.

[@DominicFlynn]

@@Rutyos but the minerals and oil, and the most fertile land, is in the Russian part of the Ukraine

[@georgine321]

This would be a good time to read “The Ukrainian Night” by Marci Shore. A beautiful written recollection by many voices of the Maidan.

[@MC-el2us]

Ahahaha they want compensation 😂😂😂

[@johnm7267]

More to the point who are the assassins?

[@The_ZeroLine]

Hilariously, Ukraine destroyed that TOS-1 across the Dnipro with the Baba Yaga drone. It ended up on its side.

[@mackmphahlele9511]

Viva President Zelensky VIIIIIVAAAA!!!!!!!

[@anthonyhulse1248]

Ukraine needs to win for the sake of the benighted Russian people.

[@georgine321]

They could look after that themselves...if they weren’t in such deep denial. It would only take a significant percentage of people, 3% or so, who are fed up with the hype and hot-lies, the propaganda and preachiness glorifying what should never be glorified and change would start. They must stand firm. It will be ugly but necessary.

[@sammenter1]

Absolutely

My thanks to Aliona Hlivco for reminding us of one of the greatest Americans to have served and sacrificed for the United States over the past sixty years. John McCain's courage and honesty are extremely rare, not only in the entire US political landscape, but certainly are infinitesimally rare things to find in the Republican Party of today, which has devolved into a rabid pack of self-serving scoundrels. One can only hope that Senator McCain's understanding of the importance of Ukraine's freedom fight will find greater traction with the leadership of the United States. Slava Ukraini!

Russia holds 25% of Ukraine territory. Ukraine holds 0% of Russian territory. So who exactly is winning??,.

Ukrain has 75% Ukrain. Ukrain is not loosing. It might be loosing faith in the Western countrys.

[@sballantine8127]

So much of the information on here is so heartbreaking and depressing, that I just can't finish listening to it. Bravo for the honest reporting, however, the more I listen the more I get the feeling that Russia has destroyed so much that I don't know how Ukraine is going to be able to survive it.

Does Zelensky realize that youth is running away from Ukraine to other countries by illegal means. If those people end up in army then we all know what will happen!!! He should only take people who wants to fight. Those who want to leave let them go

[@k1rin511]

Уже никто не хочет воевать за украину. Все добровольцы уже сдохли. Теперь только украинский скот ловят по улицам и под дулом автомата отправляют на убой в заведомо проигрышный бой. Дальше только смерть и разрушение.

[@rustykilt]

All the news is the Ukraine is losing the conflict. American support is swinging behind issues in the Middle East as the Ukranian counterattack stalls. Basically, the Ukranian conflict has fallen from the front page as interest in the conflict wanes in Western public eyes. The Palestinian conflict now gets all the media attention and the conflict in Northern Ireland gains front page news. Westerners have lost interest in the Ukraine as it now seems Russia will succeed and the US has more urgent demands on its MILITARY Budget.

[@FrankdeGroot-qc2do]

Because of the miscalculations in Ukraine, Russia is losing the grip on the Siberian republics

[@PeterHanson-nz6wu]

Just wishful thinking, the anti Russian neocns and the woke globalists dream about the break up of Russia. Its not going to happen.

[@tad27612]

If the Ukrainian government had supported Palestine instead of Israel, Zelensky could have a chance. He did not realize that Russia has a huge Muslim populations. About the Maidan Protests: who shot into the crowd?

[@timeanagy8495]

Zelensky should have been removed long before. He killed 100k's of young Ukrainians, deported 10-15 million people to other countries. For no sense. They achaived nothing. Any Ukrainian soldiers should try to remove the chosen one pianist at all costs.

Why Ukraine supporters keep comments about black sea does it make Ukraine gains any ground ?

It keeps the trade routes open and prevents Russia from being able to strike at will agents Ukrainian city's. Besides all those Russian ships make for a nice place for the fish to live 🤣

for a country with no Navy , they sure have sunk/damaged alot of ships.

"Foreign Affairs" has a great article about "redefining success in Ukraine". It's time to negotiate with Putin and give up land for peace.

[@anthonyhulse1248]

TASS, RT and PRAVDA all write that RuZZia is ready to cede land to Ukraine, and to give Siberia to China.

[@jj4791]

Foreign Affairs has little credibility, as they have sympathized with communist dictators and obscene violent oppressors of freedom, democracy, human and private property rights consistently since 1945.

[@sballantine8127]

​@@ronalds.5815 Hell, I don't believe Ukrsine would even consider it.

[@alasdaircat]

Why? Like Hitler, Putin has repudiated previous commitments to international rules. Any agreement rewards war-mongering and gives him time to rebuild his army to try again. Ukraine needs to kick Russia out now or it will never ha e piece and the international community needs to provide the means to do this.
