PSA for those who don't know "1776" is an American Far Right dog whistle.
There's several of these blogs popping up in the Ukraine tag all the time posting insane conspiracy bullshit, which is how I found out. I recommend blocking these on sight.
On December 30, russia launched at least 6 strikes on Kharkiv. Buildings in the central part of the city are seriously damaged, a fire broke out on the spot.
Currently, at least 16 people are reported injured. This is happening the next day after a massive russian missile barrage in Ukraine.
This is a daily reminder that russia continues to target peaceful Ukrainian cities, trying to destroy them day by day. From the very start of the full-scale invasion Kharkiv continues to suffer from russian strikes, which are directed at residential buildings or historically important places.
UPD: Kharkiv Regional Military Administration reports about 21 injured due to the russian strikes.
Russia is “ethnically cleansing” (= genociding) non-white and non-Christian ethnic minorities both in their own country (through forced mobilisation) AND in the occupied territories of Ukraine. The Crimean Tatars have been subject to Russian terror more than once in the 20th and 21st century. Russian propaganda, their justifications for the war, their attempts to discredit the Jewish president of Ukraine are very often VERY antisemitic. Until they reached an agreement about grain exports, Russia blocked shipments of grain to put pressure on Ukraine and their allies by causing a food crisis which would affect predominantly people of colour in the global south. And there is no guarantee that Russia won’t break their end of the deal whenever they see fit because they are not a reliable partner.
But the Oscars don’t want to give Ukraine a stage because “everyone affected by the conflict is white”. Ummm.... okay?!
anyway, Pope Francis is dumb as hell, he praises Russia's anti-Catholic, barbaric history.
russians: persecute catholics and destroy their country (e.g. after they invaded poland, they closed many roman catholic churches and turned them into orthodox churches, they did not allow people to build catholic churches, they persecuted priests, they hanged many priests who were against russian occupation, Tsarina Catherine personally forbade any contact with Rome, Nicholas I closed many monasteries, churches in poland (1832), he stole their property (1842), he sent many priests to forced labour, e.g. they sent many to Siberia for hard labor, + they especially hated and persecuted greek catholics/byzantine rite catholics)
