‼️ BBC: Since the start of invasion, Russia has earned over €883 billion from fossil fuel exports — more than three times the total aid provided to Ukraine by its allies. 👉 €228 billion of Russian fossil fuel revenue came from sanctioning countries, with €209 billion from the EU alone.

Whether it’s liberal protesters yelling at Tesla owners or conservative crypto investors kidnapping and torturing tourists, both sides could use a lesson in civility.

Zelensky after Russia’s overnight attack: "Almost 300 Shahed drones and 70 missiles hit Ukrainian cities—Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Odesa, Khmelnytskyi, and more. Homes, dorms, businesses destroyed. Children killed. Every strike is reason for tougher sanctions. Silence only encourages Putin."

The amount of naivety in the West is staggering, when it comes to dealing with Russia. The majority of Russians live their whole life by pushing others. It starts from childhood, permeates in every aspect of their lives and never ends. If you don’t push back, they will push you all eternity.
