There are four points which must be at the forefront of any discussion of the end of war in Ukraine.
First, absent moral clarity there will never be a resolution. In fact, any “resolution” based on moral equivocation will be prelude to more significant war.
Second, the only meaningful definition of peace is “just peace.” If that is not the goal, then peace efforts are worse than useless.
Third, based on history, track record and the testimony of Russia itself, true and lasting peace can only be obtained if Russia is soundly defeated.
Fourth, Russia can be defeated. The idea of invincible Russia is a myth that has been tested and proven illusory.
The correct steps toward defeating Russia are the follows: (1) Moral clarity as to the criminality of the regime, the criminality of the invasion, the criminality of the subsequent warcrimes committed, and the necessity of accountability. (2) Comprehensive economic sanctions, and (3) Arming Ukraine to the hilt.

Ukraine Story
…………
This is precisely why there can be no negotiations with russia.
In 2008, Putin publicly affirmed that russia recognized Ukraine as a sovereign nation — including Crimea. Just six years later, russia invaded and annexed Crimea, and Putin began calling it “historically russian.”
Notice that in that video, there was no mention of “NATO expansion,” no concern for the “russian-speaking population,” no talk of “biolabs” or “Nazis.”
And yet, despite all the lies, many still believe russia can be trusted.
The truth is simple: you cannot trust the words of a liar — and you cannot negotiate with one.

A new Ramstein-format meeting was held in Brussels. Here are the key outcomes:
🇬🇧 United Kingdom will allocate a record £350 million for drones. In 2025, Ukraine is set to receive 100,000 UAVs.
🇩🇪 Germany approved a new military aid package worth €5 billion. Berlin will fund long-range weapons to be produced in Ukraine and will also deliver air defense systems, ammunition, and other weaponry.
🇳🇱 The Netherlands will provide a €400 million aid package, which includes a mine countermeasure vessel, boats, and naval drones.
🇧🇪 Belgium will provide Ukraine with €1 billion annually until 2029. It will also transfer a mine countermeasure vessel.
🇳🇴 Norway is allocating $700 million for drones to support Ukraine’s defense industry, along with $50 million for the NSATU Trust Fund.
🇨🇦 Canada will contribute $45 million for drones, electronic warfare equipment, and armored vehicles including the Coyote and Bison.
🇸🇪 Sweden will provide €440 million for international programs to procure artillery shells, drones, and other arms for Ukraine.
Overall, in 2025, Ukraine’s security assistance is projected to exceed the levels of all previous years of the full-scale war.

African Troll Factories: What’s Really Going On?
The most common trolls under my posts are African accounts. I’m not alone in noticing this — many others, especially those writing about Ukraine, geopolitics, or criticizing russia, report the same trend.
This issue deserves clarity. Here are the most evidence-based explanations:
- Cost of Labor
Is it mainly because employing African trolls is cheaper for russia?
Yes — that’s one of the main reasons.
Russian-linked troll operations often outsource to low-cost regions. Countries like Ghana, Nigeria, and South Africa are attractive because:
- Labor is inexpensive
- English fluency is widespread
- Local IP addresses help evade detection on Western platforms
In 2020, Facebook and Twitter dismantled a troll network run out of Ghana, linked to russian disinformation. Investigative reports confirmed the operation’s connection to the Kremlin.
- Propaganda Targeting
Are Africans more susceptible to propaganda?
Not inherently — and suggesting so would be wrong.
However, russian outlets like RT and Sputnik intentionally target African audiences with narratives that blend:
- Anti-Western sentiment
- Post-colonial grievances
- Pan-African solidarity
Where there’s existing distrust in Western governments, such messaging can find fertile ground.
- Anti-Western Sentiment and Ideological Appeal
Are some African users angry at the West due to colonization?
Yes — and understandably so.
Many African nations carry historical wounds from Western exploitation, colonialism, and ongoing economic inequality. Russia exploits this by portraying itself as a “non-colonial partner,” despite its own imperial actions — especially in Ukraine. This strategic rhetoric can resonate.
- Fake Identities and Racial Shielding
Not all “African” troll accounts are real.
Many are bots or russian operatives using African names and photos to appear authentic and global. This tactic:
- Lowers suspicion from platforms
- Creates the illusion of grassroots support
- Shields the operation from criticism by leveraging racial dynamics
Conclusion
The prevalence of African accounts among troll replies is not about intelligence or character — it reflects how russian propaganda exploits economic inequality, historical grievances, and identity politics.
Blame the propagandists — not the exploited.

Military losses in the war in Ukraine have reached 1.4 million people, according to estimates by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
CSIS reports that nearly one million russian troops have been killed or wounded in the war against Ukraine. Ukrainian military losses are estimated at approximately 400,000. The CSIS report relies on estimates from the U.S. and U.K. governments and other sources.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, the russian army has lost nearly 250,000 soldiers killed in action. At the same time, CSIS estimates the number of Ukrainian soldiers killed to be between 60,000 and 100,000.
………..
Russia launched a drone attack on Chernihiv. Five people are confirmed dead, including a one-year-old child. Many more are injured.
How many more lives must be lost before the U.S. administration understands that russia has no intention of ceasefire or peace?
The only way to stop russian war crimes is to give Ukraine the means to defend itself — fully and decisively.
Appeasement won’t bring peace. Only justice will.

The author didn’t mention the other cesspool full of pro russian trash, India. You only need to look at the Times of India youtube channel to see the filth they spew towards Ukraine, to know they are russian lovers.
Yes they really are evil motherfuckers. They have been trolling Ukraine since 2014.
They love mass rape and torture just like putler and their own dwarf dictator is a putler-rimming war profiteer.
Yes the African troll phenomenon is real.
A lot of them are paid to troll for putler no doubt.
But most of them are just evil cunts who love putler and hate western democracy.
Many want reparations for slavery. Yet it was the Africans themselves who were and remain slavers. In imperial times it was Africans who kidnapped their own and sold them on to Arab slave-traders, who sold them on to Europe and the American continent.
Slavery continues today throughout Africa, Asia and of course putlerstan, which like China, is a slave state.
What was the first country to criminalize slavery? That would be Britain. The Abolition of Slavery Act of 1833, introduced by a Conservative MP : William Wilberforce.
