TV Host Nataliia Lutsenko @Notjustpolitics24 and Boris Johnson, former British prime minister, discussed the latest news surrounding the war in Ukraine. Boris Johnson says Ukraine is already doing what sanctions alone cannot: imposing direct military costs inside Russia. The former British prime minister says the campaign against Russian refineries is now reaching ordinary Russians through fuel shortages, poorer-quality petrol, and even growing questions about the war on Russian television.
The YES Annual Meeting 2026

A bravura performance from Boris, aided and abetted by the delicious and vibrant Natalia.
Boris :
“This is evil.”
How many senior politicians in the world say this?
Almost none, which is utterly disgraceful.

Yes he’s serious about ending it; on terms that are agreeable to his controller putler and catastrophic to his hated enemy Ukraine.

Garry Kasparov :
Only Trump can save Putin.
One of my earliest WSJ columns on Putin’s mind and methods called him Don Putin and recommended reading Puzo’s The Godfather to understand him. Now Trump Jr.’s wedding has a Russian oligarch dispensing favors! Life imitates art!
Operator Starsky :
“We have to buy natural gas and oil where they are cheapest — and that is in Russia. And that is in our national interest.” — Alice Weidel, AfD, German Bundestag, 26 November 2025.
The AfD has also officially stated that détente with Russia is necessary for lasting peace in Europe and that integrating Russia into a security structure is in Germany’s interest, while also calling for expanded economic relations.
Exactly four months after Weidel’s brilliant speech, putin signed a “security cooperation” with Taliban. Apparently, German AfD sincerely believes that amazing North Koreans, friendly Iranian ayatollas, wise Talibs, and beautiful russian terrorists are a perfect company for Germany. “Security structure” of your dreams.
Phillips P. OBrien :
Now we have a plausible idea why Don did not attend Don Jr’s wedding, His Russian handlers might have said it would be too obvious…..
Roman Sheremeta :
In a blunt rejection of Trump’s demand to stop bombing russian oil refineries, Ukraine continues striking russian refineries.
Overnight Ukraine attacked the Rosneft’s Syzran Refinery. Multiple fire hotspots have been recorded, including in the area of tanks with petroleum products. The regional authorities reported over 40 Ukrainian drones.
A great reel from Marijn Markus:
🎙 I met Jason Jay Smart in Kyiv, defying air alerts, dєadlines and the teггог that russia regularly tries to inflict upon the population.
Jason is a Kyiv Post Special Correspondent, political adviser and longtime expert on the “post-Soviet world” (as westerners still call it)
Jason has lived and worked across Ukraine, Moldova, Central Asia and russia, and was actually banned for life from russia back in 2010 for his work supporting the democratic opposition.
Badge of honor, right? 🫡
So, naturally, he kept going, and I wanted to talk to this guy.
☕️ We first met for coffee in 2024. Since then his following has grown massively.
Now he has over 𝟑𝟎𝟎𝐤 followers on YouTube alone!
Jason, you’re giving me ideas! 👀
Right behind us stood a car fundraised by his channel, meant to help the defenders at the frontline.
☝️ The “always be hustling” startup mindset is nowhere more real than in Ukraine, where it’s simply:
“Always be fundraising.”
So let’s help Jason out!
