Most of those burgers will get mouldy and go off , if they're all rammed in the fridge like that .

Sure.
But they are selling fast.


Capitalism is big in Russia.

The letter z is going to be banned after all this. We will have to remove it from all words. It’s a new swastika. Well done Russia.

A newspaper Reporter in Zaporizhzhia (just live on GBNewsHD itv)
said Aid Trucks (Food /Water /Meds) were blocked by Russian troops
so people in the south,
Mariupol are now fighting
each other for the last food.

Lions rescued in Kyiv arrive at Dutch NGO’s shelter in Spain

Young lions and an African wild dog rescued from a wildlife shelter in Kyiv last week arrived safely at a Stichting AAP shelter in Spain, the Dutch foundation announced on Thursday. The animals are safe and sound and seem to be doing well, the foundation said on Facebook.

"Here, we can continue to work on their recovery and provide these animals a beautiful and especially safe life," the foundation said on Facebook. "They are now in quarantine, where we can examine their condition better. After that, we expect to give them access to a beautiful outdoor habitat where they can enjoy the warm Spanish sun."

The lions and wild dog were rescued from the Wild Animal Rescue shelter near Kyiv by employees of the shelter, who risked their lives to make sure the animals were safe. They managed to sneak the animals across the border to Poland last Thursday, reportedly under fire from Russian soldiers. The animals spent a few days in Poland to recover from the journey and then continued on to the Stichting AAP shelter in Spain. The trip took about 25 hours, with regular stops to feed and water the animals.

Stichting AAP said it received many heartwarming messages from people concerned about the animals. "Thank you so much for this!" The foundation asked for donations for the lions' and wild dog's care. According to the foundation, caring for a lion costs 75 euros a day and 35 euros per day for a wild dog.

Last night on Russian Live TV
a person Criticised this War.

As a result, they are going to stop Live Debate shows.

most of those who voted for Putin in each election then exposed


imagine being pro-corruption, pro-dictatorship, pro-soviet-union in 2022

There is a view amongst Russians that they're only losing the worst part of their society with the sanctions i.e. that which has been corrupted by the West. Nationalism is very strong there with the idea that they are the protector of Eastern culture and that they are correcting a historic wrong. Mother Russia is more important than McDonalds

Quite possibly because they don't know the hardships of the USSR and 90s Russia, their teaching of their nations history is probably quite rose tinted

[Livia]

So much for Glasnost.

[Nicky91]

yes Putin and Lavrov's propaganda to brainwash youths into supporting their regime


either you support it, or you face consequences (jail sentences in siberia, poisoning, shot)



and most of these probably live further away from ukrainian border either, so they do not know what circumstances are like there

[MTVN]

No government survives by repression alone is my main point really, even dictatorships need a certain level of either popular support or popular compliance

[MTVN]

It's not spontaneous but it's still noteworthy I think

Lots of Russians putting the Z on their clothes, cars, media accounts as well. That Russian gymnast is probably not that big an outlier in his support for the war

They'll stop when they realise it really stands for Zelenskyy.
