The oil and gas market is in shambles. Prices are at record highs. The U.S. and Europe are now considering lifting sanctions on russia. All because of one madman.

A destroyed residential building in Kramatorsk. On the fence in front of it, someone has written: “russian peace plan”.

Ukraine wants to end this war and restore a just and lasting peace. But russia does not want this war to stop.

What do these women have in common?

They are all:
• Ukrainian
• Combat medics
• Risking their lives
• Too often killed by russians

The world is a better place because of women like them. We must do everything we can to protect them from russian evil

………………………….

Killed by russians.

9-year-old Gordij from Kharkiv was killed yesterday by a russian bomb. His mother died as well.

Russia is a terrorist state.

For the past two days, the Western press has been praising Ukrainian technologies for their efficiency and low cost. They are talking about how these technologies could save the U.S. and Israeli militaries both lives and money.

And this discussion is now appearing across nearly every news outlet and broadcast channel, including CNN, Fox, and the BBC.

P.S. Thank you Vasyl Taras for the references.

This is exactly how the press should be reporting this story: “Orbán’s government robbed a Ukrainian state bank — then a Fidesz tabloid ran AI fakes to justify it.”

So, what actually happened?

An armored convoy belonging to the Ukrainian state bank Oschadbank was stopped in Hungary. Seven Ukrainian citizens were detained and the cash was confiscated.

Oschadbank is a Ukrainian state bank that has a legal license to transport cash across borders. In this case, the cash was being moved from Austria to Ukraine. This is routine banking logistics.

Ukrainian banks must regularly import foreign cash (dollars and euros) because Ukrainians buy far more foreign currency than they sell each month. Before the war, this cash often arrived by plane. With Ukrainian airspace closed, it now travels by land.

Every step of such operations is documented and monitored — the source of the money, the route, the insurance, and the banks involved. These are tightly regulated international financial procedures. You simply cannot move “corruption money” through such a system.

But, of course, this became a perfect opportunity for Orbán and russian propaganda to push false narratives. A disinformation campaign quickly followed, using AI-generated fake images of Ukrainian cash-in-transit guards. The images were published by Ripost, a tabloid controlled and funded by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party.

And people, incapable of critical thinking, eagerly helped spread the fake images and propaganda narratives — including the claim that the cash was “money laundering by Zelenskyy.”

But in reality, all that happened was this: Orbán’s government seized the funds of a Ukrainian state bank — and then a Fidesz tabloid published AI fakes to justify it.

“I had a $700,000 salary in Seattle. But I still went to fight in Ukraine.”

Andrew Webber — a U.S. Army captain and veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — left his career as a corporate lawyer and joined Ukraine’s International Legion in 2023. He was killed in combat on July 27, 2023, Hromadske reports.

Webber graduated from West Point in 2005. The U.S. Army deployed him to Iraq in 2006, and later to Afghanistan in 2008 and 2012.

During his second mission, he commanded the 1191st cavalry reconnaissance and sniper unit. His call sign was Palwar — “fighter” in the Dari language.

In Afghanistan he received the Bronze Star for bravery. His mother, Carla Webber, says the family only learned about the award when an official document arrived by mail. Later, Andrew left the service with the rank of captain.

After the army, he built a career in Seattle. Webber earned a law degree, worked as a corporate lawyer at a major international firm, and earned about $700,000 a year.

Even before the full-scale invasion, he worked with NATO structures that trained Ukrainian soldiers. In the spring of 2023, he took a 10-week leave from his law firm and traveled to Ukraine.

In Ukraine, Webber joined the International Legion. In messages home, he wrote that the army lacked equipment, instructors, and people with combat experience.

He rarely told his family about the fighting. Instead, he sent photos of Ukrainian fields, farms, and stray cats, and told his parents that in Ukraine he had eaten “the best hot dog of my life.”

His mother, Carla Webber, knows almost nothing about his final battle. Only that her son was commanding the operation, and that it ended unsuccessfully.

Later, his comrades wrote to the family that Andrew changed the unit’s tactics and saved many lives. Webber spoke Arabic, Farsi, Dari, some Spanish, and had also begun learning Ukrainian.

Two days before July 27, the family last spoke with him while playing Wordle together — their daily online game.

More than 600 people attended his funeral in the United States — diplomats, veterans, and members of the Ukrainian diaspora. His family was presented with a Ukrainian flag in his honor.

His mother, Carla Webber:

“Andrew believed it was his duty to go to Ukraine and help. That’s what soldiers do — protect people and do the right thing.”
