Massive protests in Belgrade, Serbia against a Kremlin puppet Aleksandar Vucic. Tens of thousands of protesters have gathered in Belgrade calling for the Vucic to resign over corruption and nepotism accusations that lead to death of 15 people. It is the largest protest in a decade, since Vucic’s party took control of Serbia in 2012.

This is a Christmas table in Lviv with empty chairs and military uniforms.
It is reminder of all the evil russians have committed against Ukrainians. And all the brave Ukrainians who gave their lives to defend their country against this evil.
We remember!

Zelensky has appointed a new ambassador of Ukraine to Hungary: professor Fedir Shandor.
Shandor had joined the army in February last year and gave lectures to his students directly from the trenches during breaks between battles.
This is how bravery looks like!

Volodymyr Klitschko made a brilliant post: “There are a lot of rumors these days about a possible comeback. At the moment, I’m not concerned with my return to boxing, but with the return of russians to their country, outside Ukraine.”
Go Klitschko! Go Usyk! Slava Ukraini!

For my English-speaking friends:
Maybe just coincidental, but Oleksandr Usyk’s heavyweight boxing multi-title victory last night was just filled with symbolism:
1) Usyk’s opponent Tyson Fury was a full 25kg heavier and almost a head taller – seemingly a no contest bout with the winner predetermined. The Ukrainian won anyway.
2) The bookmakers favored Fury over Usyk. The Ukrainian won anyway.
3) before the match Usyk was forbidden from kissing the cross he wears around his neck (his opponent accused him of using the cross to inhale stimulants), whereas Fury was allowed to enter the ring sporting a beard (a violation of WBC rules). The Ukrainian won anyway.
4) Fury was ahead on two scorecards after eight rounds, but Usyk outlasted Fury in the last four rounds. It’s never a good idea to try to predict the result of a 12 round fight after only eight. In the end, the Ukrainian won with all three judges scoring 116-112 (unanimous decision).
5) After the fight, Usyk raised the famous of Hetman Ivan Mazepa, a historic figure who fought for Ukraine’s independence against russia 300 years ago. Ukrainian Cossacks have defeated russians in the past, and Ukrainians will defeat russians today.
Facing a bigger opponent, against the odds, with rules stacked against them, and despite early losses, Ukrainians win!
Heroyam Slava!

After the victory, Usyk raised the famous saber of Hetman Ivan Mazepa, a historic figure who fought for Ukraine’s independence against russia 300 years ago. First of all, it is a reminder of the three centuries long russian aggression against Ukraine. This is for those brainwashed idiots who still blame the US, NATO, or even Ukraine for the russian aggression. Second, it is a symbol of Ukrainian resilience. Ukrainian Cossacks have defeated russians in the past, so Ukrainians can also defeat russians today.

Thousands flock streets of Belgrade for massive anti-government protest
Tens of thousands of people streamed into a central square in Serbia’s capital on Sunday for a huge rally against populist President Aleksandar Vucic and his government (Dec. 22)
Will Serbia abandon its putlerism?
Hope so.
Congratulations to Mr Usyk. He is a real Ukrainian.
Unlike Tyson Fury, who is not remotely English. He is from an Irish “traveler” family. He is an avowed Jew-hater, disrespecter of women and idiot. He says he will retire. No loss to sport or anything else.
