When russia first turned its terror against children
💬 “The real terrorists are those who burst into the homes of people peacefully sleeping, who intimidate people who tell the truth; those who have turned #Crimea into a military base" - Vadym Siruk.
We could add also those who so brutally end childhood

This is completely nuts:
Not being able to take Greenland, US Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent now thinks the US should go after the Canadian province of Alberta, 6.6 percent of Canada’s territory, which should belong to the US.
This US regime is an enemy of the democratic world.
This is straight out of #vladimirputin as of early 2014 - presumably the plan would be to infiltrate paramilitaries over the border into #alberta but claim that they were entirely local - as in #crimea and #donbas .
If Ukraine gives up land to get a peace deal, eventually reclaiming that land may require Russia's internal collapse. History shows voluntary returns of occupied territory are extremely rare. https://theconversation.com/ukraine-is-under-pressure-to-trade-land-for-peace-if-it-does-history-shows-it-might-not-ever-get-it-back-271609
@TheConversationUS #Ukrainians should not cede *any* land to #VladTheInvader. But if cowardly fools in #Europe and the #Russian puppet in the #WhiteHouse force them to, it will soon be returned, with interest. The Gods of #Comedy have foretold it!
The #SinoFinnishBorder that has been long-anticipated by dark humorists in #Russia will certainly not cross over the currently recognized territories of #Ukraine , which obviously include #Crimea.

"Acute water, fuel, and power shortages push Crimea back to Ukraine” [ ± 1-3 min]

Today, the biggest news comes from Crimea.
Here, a sustained campaign of strikes has set major fuel depots and key electricity nodes ablaze has pushed the peninsula into acute fuel and power shortages. With fuel shortages worsening, and the Russian state unable to deliver on promises of solution, ordinary residents are beginning to ask whether they want to continue to live as part of Russia or need another referendum.
First, Ukraine struck one of the biggest and most important oil terminals in Crimea with a precision drone attack, as that first hit ignited several tanks and produced a large, sustained blaze on the Feodosia oil terminal. After the fire partly subsided, follow-up strikes hit the terminal again and reignited burning zones, spreading damage to adjacent tanks along with port-side equipment. Open-source satellite and thermal imagery now show double-digit losses, as the imagery shows at least 11 tanks destroyed and multiple additional tanks badly damaged or in urgent need of repairs. The initial strike, re-ignition, follow-up strike, continued burning, turned a single incident into a week-long event that shredded Feodosia’s usable diesel, gasoline, and oil storage and left the depot smoking for days. With the terminal in ruins and visible flames in the background, pump prices across the whole southern Crimea spiked and queues lengthened as traders and residents reacted to the sudden collapse in available supply.
Terminals are built to resist rapid destruction, as tanks are spaced apart and fitted with firewalls, foam suppression, and isolation valves that prevent a chain reaction. Russians have now often added berms, cages or other external shielding around most tanks, which makes destroying them even harder. Rapid firefighting and cooling efforts further delay thermal escalation. Because of these layers of protection, a single strike rarely finishes a whole facility; repeated precision hits or prolonged thermal stress are needed to bring it down successfully. That is why a week-long campaign was necessary, but also so effective in damaging and destroying two dozen fuel tanks in a region already in crisis.
Feodosia was not the only target, as in recent nights Ukrainian strike waves ignited depot fires at Gardeskove and Karierne, struck rail-side storage clusters, and hit several major transmission substations, notably the Kafa 220-kilovolt substation near Feodosia and the 330-kilovolt Simferopol distribution hub, producing outages and thermal hotspots visible on Nasa Firms imagery. Russian-installed officials reported power disruptions across Simferopol, Feodosia, and neighboring districts as emergency teams worked to contain fires at multiple sites.
The civilian side is even worse, as local monitoring and activist channels report diesel and gasoline shortages in Zuya, Alushta, Perevalne, and parts of Simferopol, and occupation authorities have imposed rationing and a temporary price freeze to restrain panic buying. Two weeks ago, the Kremlin-appointed head of Crimea Sergei Aksyonov, promised quick fixes, saying 95 stocks would return in days and 92 in roughly two weeks. But those deadlines have long since passed as fires continued, and specialist repair crews were hard to mobilize. In short, damaged tanks and a ruined power grid resulted in leaving residents with longer queues, strict purchase limits, and unreliable supplies overall. Those conditions are bearable for a few weeks, but if rationing and blackouts stretch into a month to two months, the impact moves from inconvenience to economic and social harm. Small shops and taxis have already stopped operating reliably, heating and transport costs spike, and households exhaust savings set aside for emergencies.
Very rapidly this will turn private frustrations into public ones, as pro-Ukrainian slogans will increasingly resonate in the marketplaces and neighborhoods of Crimea. Persistent queues, repeated multi-day blackouts, measurable business closures in towns like Feodosia and Simferopol, are only the beginning. As Russian authorities in Crimea are unable to bring an end to the crisis, breaking promises along the way, genuine civil unrest will start to build.

A story of a #trans #activist's escape from #Crimea
#LiliyaKhvylka was under house arrest with an ankle bracelet. From Crimea she navigated her way through #Russia and #Belarus
The entire #LGBT community is an "extremist organization" in Russia and in the occupied areas you can be disappeared
She participated in the 2014 #Ukraine#Euromaidan protests
She is being tried in abstentia and faces 15 years in Russian prison
