Redneck Bitcoin @Bitcoin_Redneck I’d like to thank Congress for using my Tax money to buy Zelensky’s wife a Bugatti. Zelensky's wife purchased the newest Bugatti Turbillon for 4.5 million euros. During the official visit of the Ukrainian delegation to Paris in early June, especially for the Zelensky couple, Bugatti Automobiles, together with the Paris dealership, organized a pre-premiere display of the new Bugatti Turbillon hypercar (the public premiere took place two weeks later, on June 20). According to a dealer representative, Zelenskaya was delighted with the new car and placed a pre-order, thus becoming the buyer of the first of...

Catturd ™ @catturd2 Macron and Zelenskyy 😬 From El Osman 8:18 AM · Jun 27, 2024

Volodymyr Zelensky has furiously described Nigel Farage as being infected with the "virus of Putinism", the Mail on Sunday reports. It writes that the Ukrainian president's "extraordinary intervention" comes after the Reform UK leader suggested the West was partially responsible for Russia's full-scale invasion. The Mail also reports that one of Farage's "most prominent supporters has repeatedly called for closer ties with the Kremlin".

Ex-US President Donald Trump promised to put an end to "never-ending" multi-billion payments to Ukraine in case he wins the presidential election in November. "I think [Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is maybe the greatest salesman of any politician that's ever lived," Trump said when speaking before his supporters in Detroit. "Every time he comes to our country, he walks away with $60 billion," TASS quoted him as saying. "And he gets home and he announces that he needs another $60 billion. It never ends. It never ends. I will have that settled," he added. Trump repeatedly stated earlier that he...

President Joe Biden and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a 10-year security agreement Thursday that they hailed as a milestone in relations between their countries, but that alone was not enough to stop Zelenskyy from wondering how much longer he could count on America's support. Zelenskyy also said his country “urgently” needed additional air defense systems to protect Ukrainians and the nation's infrastructure from Russia's continued bombardment. The leaders signed the agreement on the sidelines of the annual Group of Seven summit, held this year in Italy, and Biden said the goal "is to strengthen Ukraine's defense and deterrence capabilities.”...

There’s a statement in there, somewhere…..

Volodymyr Zelenesky's constitutionally-mandated term as Ukraine's president expired on May 21. The leader canceled elections planned for March or April last November, claiming it was "utterly irresponsible" to discuss such matters amid the ongoing conflict with Russia. President Zelensky's legitimacy has expired, and Russia will proceed from this fact, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said."Of course, we are aware that the legitimacy of the current head of state [of Ukraine] has ended," Putin said at a press conference in Minsk on Friday after talks with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Putin recommended anyone looking for answers regarding Zelensky's legal status to...

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said he “apologized” to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for failing to send the millions of tax dollars in aid to the country “fast enough.” During an appearance on “Face the Nation,” McConnell discussed approving the supplemental aid, which provides further funding to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.

The world has been fed a simple, black-and-white narrative of good vs. evil in the war between Ukraine and Russia...But while simple narratives are good at building support for new wars, they're not so great at telling the whole truth.What is the truth about Volodymyr Zelenskyy? We've spent over a year finding out.Episode 1 of "Zelenskyy Unmasked" starts now..(16 minute and 42 second video below)https://twitter.com/Truth_InMedia/status/1775893706631270487

On Easter Sunday, House Speaker Mike Johnson pledged to be an “ambassador of hope” by voting on military aid for Ukraine, despite opposition led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for approving a government funding package before the holiday recess. During an Easter Sunday interview with Fox News, Johnson confirmed his intention to urge Congress to provide further aid to Kyiv’s war against Russia. The New York Post reports, “If we could use the seized assets of Russian oligarchs to allow the Ukrainians to fight them, that’s just pure poetry,” the House speaker said on “Sunday Night in America with Trey...

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine "needs to think" about how to hold presidential elections, because at the moment they are prohibited by law during wartime. Source: Zelenskyy in an interview for British TV programme Channel 4 News Quote: "I haven’t postponed [the elections – ed.], it happens automatically. I’m just not able to hold them now, primarily because of the law which forbids me from doing it. It doesn’t just forbid me from holding elections, but all institutions in general. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine [the Ukrainian Parliament – ed.] has to vote and give a mandate for...

U.S. journalist Tucker Carlson said on Tuesday that his lawyers warned him that the United States could arrest him on sanctions violations for conducting an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow. “My lawyers, before I left … said you’re going to get arrested if you do this by the US government on sanctions violations,” Carlson said in an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman. Carlson said he was happy to face such a risk and rejected the premise of such charges. Carlson’s head lawyer reportedly said his freedom depended on the questions he asked Russian President Vladimir Putin. “If...

KanekoaTheGreat @KanekoaTheGreat 🚨BREAKING: Russian Counter-Terrorism Unit Thwarts Assassination Attempt on @TuckerCarlson . A Moscow man was arrested for allegedly accepting payment from Ukrainian intelligence to plant an explosive on Tucker Carlson's vehicle, targeting the American journalist during his interview with Putin.

"On January 31, I received a task from the curator to pick up an explosive device from a hiding place and use it to blow up a...

I just got back from Ukraine, where I was visiting some friends. Everything we have heard about what’s happening in Ukraine is a lie. The reality is darker, bleaker, and unequivocally hopeless. There is no such thing as Ukraine "winning" this war. - By their estimates, they have lost over one million of their sons, fathers and husbands; an entire generation is gone. - Even in the Southwest, where the anti-Russian sentiment is long-standing, citizens are reluctant or straight-up scared to publicly criticize Zelensky; they will go to jail. - In every village and town, the streets, shops, and restaurants...

One week ago on Monday, news broke that Russian dissident Alexei Navalny had died in prison in a Russian gulag north of the Arctic Circle. Navalny leaves behind his wife, Yulia Navalnaya, and their two children. Navalny organized anti-government demonstrations and ran for office to advocate reforms against corruption in Russia, and against President Vladimir Putin and his government. The media immediately blamed Putin for “his murder” in prison. Nikki Haley used Navalny’s death to attack her former boss, Donald Trump. Haley is at the point where she is using anything she can to damage President Trump. That’s why Democrats...

An Egyptian investigative journalist who exposed the acquisition of a luxury villa by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksyy’s mother-in-law in El-Gouna has been found dead, according to a report on Friday by El Mostaqbal. The independent journalist, Mohammed Al-Alawi, reported on the purchase of the villa for $4.85 million in August by Olga Kiyashko, leaking alleged documents as proof of his claims. The report raised questions of corruption and misappropriation of US financial aid to Ukraine by the Zelenskyy family. Al-Alawi’s body was discovered in the Red Sea city of Hurghada, with fractures and bruises found on the body. The cause...

Joe Biden on Tuesday held a joint presser with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after the two met in the Oval Office. Joe Biden announced another $200 million in additional military aid for Ukraine during Zelensky’s visit.

Raj Shah, the Deputy Chief of Communications for Speaker Johnson, has announced that Speaker Johnson is scheduled to meet with Volodymyr Zelensky at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. Zelenskyy’s visit coincides with a deadlock in Congress over an assistance package that is ‘supposed’ to combine funding for Ukraine with policy measures, including immigration and border security. In October, Joe Biden requested massive funding of over $100 billion earmarked for defense assistance to Israel and Ukraine, along with border security funding in the US, and aid to nations in the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he has lost count of assassination attempts he’s survived, comparing them to bouts of Covid. In an interview with the British tabloid The Sun, he said that he’s survived "no fewer" than five or six attempts on his life since Russia invaded Ukraine last year, but that each subsequent attempt makes it less intimidating. NBC News could not independently verify Zelenskyy’s claims about attempts on his life. “The first one is very interesting, when it is the first time, and after that it is just like Covid,” Zelenskyy said. “First of all, people don’t know...
