VOLODYMYR Zelensky should flee Ukraine "immediately" amid escalating tensions between Washington and Kyiv, insiders in the White House have warned. US-Ukraine relations exploded this week, with military intelligence suggesting Russia is just days from declaring victory over the almost three-year war. Donald Trump and Zelensky have been waging a war of words with the US President openly criticising the Ukrainian leader and branding him a "dictator." In response, Kyiv slammed his attempts at peace talks with Russia and accused him of being "in a disinformation bubble". As the relationship between the two leaders continues to deteriorate, a source close to...

The office of Russia’s infamous troll factory believed to be at the vanguard of Russia’s information war has been set on fire in St. Petersburg overnight. An investigation revealed last year that the secretive troll factory had rebranded itself as a media conglomerate with 16 news websites generating more than 30 million pageviews every month. Its operational hub, a website called FAN (Federal News Agency), is based a stone’s throw from the troll farm’s original location in northern St. Petersburg. The Fontanka.ru news website cited police as saying that an unknown suspect broke the agency’s ground-floor window and threw a...

What do Russian trolls have to do with a guy in prison for life?  One of them was caught...

Trump is well aware that Zelensky does not want peace, and neither does Europe. They want World War III and have been trying to scheme to invoke Article 5 to try to force Trump to send troops to invade Russia. European officials now realize they will have to cover the cost of postwar security and cannot count on the USA funding their warmongering ways. They will have to cough up the costs Zelensky has been demanding to line his pockets for the reconstruction of Ukraine. The European Press has done nothing but promote war. They constantly claim that if Ukraine...

Brits are clamouring to sign up after an offer from Vladimir Putin to leave the "woke West" and move to Russia to embrace its "traditional values," the Kremlin has claimed. According to reports from Moscow, 17 people from Scotland have been in touch with the Russian Embassy to enquire about Putin's "fast-track residence permits". It was after the Russian dictator amended immigration laws to tempt more Westerners to come to his country. Putin has effectively said westerners would be seeking asylum from wokeism in Russia as he was offering "humanitarian aid" to people "who share traditional Russian spiritual and moral...

Ukraine is on an “irreversible” path to NATO membership, the 32 members of the alliance affirmed in a joint communique released Wednesday on the second day of the summit being held in Washington.

The “first annual Global Peace Summit” held in the luxury Swiss resort of Burgenstock, which did not include any representatives from Moscow, concluded with the status quo essentially remaining the same, with Ukraine continuing to demand that Russia cede territory in the East and Crimea as a prerequisite for actual peace talks to begin, a likely non-starter for Vladimir Putin.
