Sounds good to me.
Maybe Russia should sue Ukraine in the International Courts for defamation of Russia's reputation and character? I bet Russians think they could win $1 trillion in damages. Maybe $2 trillion. Come to think of it, Trump counter-sues people who accuse him of being a criminal. The same tactic should work just as well for Russia as it works for Trump.

Does it mean Polish Russian Collaborator Signym with stop posting about past atrocities? Does it mean she’ll stop suggesting these past barbarisms somehow justify Putins’ behavior now? Does she really believe by her doing so, she removes the name butcher, from Putins’ legacy?
I predict no.

He said a former colleague had gone to fight on the Russian side. “Would I shoot him? Without any doubt! Do I keep my options to go fight for Ukraine open? Absolutely! This is the only way for me. And if I were to go to this war, I would only fight for Ukraine.”
A few days later, the Russian Ministry of Justice classified the actor as a foreign agent.
Alexander Bastrykin, the head of Russia’s Investigative Committee, also ordered that a criminal case be opened against Smolyaninov.
Smolyaninov has been highly critical of the campaign in Ukraine.

Not all Russians are worthless, just the ones who support Putin's schemes. Similarly, not all Americans are worthless, just the ones who excuse Trump's shenanigans.

Quote:CIA Director Bill Burns met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on a secret trip to Kyiv ahead of the Russian invasion last year to share news that appeared to surprise the Ukrainian leader: the Russians were plotting to assassinate him.

At that time, in January 2022, Zelenskyy had been dismissing the idea that Russians would carry out an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and was suggesting America's public warnings were creating a "panic," noted Chris Whipple in his forthcoming book, "The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden's White House."
It was unusual for the US to publicly disclose intelligence like this, suggesting Washington was confident in its assessment of Russia's intentions. But just weeks before Russia invaded, Zelenskyy expressed concerns that such warnings would have a negative impact on the Ukrainian economy — and emphasized that Kyiv was used to facing threats from Russia.
"Burns had come to give him a reality check" and the CIA director shared that Russian Special Forces were coming for Zelenskyy, writes Whipple, adding that President Joe Biden told Burns "to share precise details of the Russian plots."
"This immediately got Zelensky's attention; he was taken aback, sobered by this news," Whipple wrote in the book, set for release on January 17.
Russia invaded Ukraine the next month, launching the largest military conflict in Europe since World War II. Since that time, Ukrainian officials have spoken about Zelenskyy surviving more than a dozen Russian assassination attempts. But Whipple, who interviewed Burns, gives readers a glimpse of how the stakes were laid out to Zelenskyy as he tried to push back on US warnings about an impending invasion.
"The intelligence was so detailed that it would help Zelensky's security forces thwart two separate Russian attempts on his life," he wrote.
As previously reported, Burns also shared a "blueprint of Putin's invasion plan" during that visit in Zelenskyy's office to help him prepare. Whipple wrote. He previewed Russian plans to attack Antonov Airport north of Kyiv and to use it as a staging area for an assault on Kyiv.

Russia Can't Take Key Ukrainian Region 'Quickly,' Occupation Leader Admits
The head of Russia's puppet administration in the partially occupied southern Ukrainian region of Zaporizhzhia has admitted that Moscow's forces will not be able to seize control of the rest of the region "quickly," blaming expected local resistance and Western activity.
Yevgeny Balitsky, a Ukrainian politician who became the acting governor of the Russian-occupied part of Zaporizhzhia in October 2022, told the pro-Kremlin Crimean television channel Krym-24 on Monday that Russian forces face a difficult task in seizing the rest of the Zaporizhzhia region.
"There is no way of taking Zaporizhzhia quickly," Balitsky said, as quoted by Russia's state-run Tass news agency. "Sweeping measures will have to be used. In the work for safe streets, we will have to clear vast areas of mines."
"We also see the methods the U.S. and the European coalitions have been employing to brainwash the people, who take up arms or who are simply mobilized."
"They have no understanding of either history or culture," Balitsky said of the Ukrainians who reject and are resisting the Russian narrative that has underpinned Moscow's aggression against Ukraine since 2014.

In a moment of reading serendipity, I listened to a recording of Zelensky’s interview just as I was reading the Scottish historian James Crawford’s beguiling new travelogue/history/meditation The Edge of the Plain: How Borders Make and Break Our World. Crawford’s reporting and research took place almost entirely before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and he refers to it only in passing, but it’s hard not to think of the war, and the notion that life and territory could be inseparable, when you encounter a statement like “what is a border, if not a story? It is never simply a line, a marker, a wall, an edge. First, it is an idea […] It can only ever be made. It can only ever be told.”
The war in Ukraine is a war over territory that is also a war between stories. Russian President Vladimir Putin, having apparently emerged from a COVID-isolation deep dive into the Kremlin archives, puts forth a narrative that Ukraine and Russia share a common “historical and spiritual space” that renders modern, internationally recognized nation-state borders irrelevant.
The notion that Ukraine is an “artificial” country was already historically dubious, and ironically, Putin’s violation of Ukraine’s borders appears to have done more to solidify Ukraine’s national identity — its story, that is — than generations of Ukrainian nationalists have managed.
. . . It would be too simple to suggest the book merely condemns or dismisses borders. Those who imagine a world without borders may be pacifists in the John Lennon mold, but they’re just as likely to be imperialists.
Crawford quotes from Virgil’s Aeneid, in which Rome is designated by the god Jupiter himself as “an empire without limit” in either “space or time.” That borders are “artificial” is a concept that can be used by progressives to advocate for the rights of migrants, but also — as Putin has shown — by atavistic dictators to justify invading their neighbors.
