"South Korea will recall additional staff from its embassy in Ukraine, as the Ukrainian side has not demonstrated a willingness to engage in a constructive dialogue regarding the issue of North Korean prisoners of war. This was announced on Tuesday by the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This decision comes several weeks after Seoul recalled its ambassador from Ukraine over the same issue."

Earlier, the President of South Korea sharply criticized the head of the Kiev regime for disclosing information, emphasizing that Kiev, for its own benefit, is putting other people's lives at risk. Seoul demanded an apology from Ukraine, but the apology was ultimately deemed "insufficient."

🇺🇦🇵🇱The border between Ukraine and Poland. The "Krakowiec" border crossing.

Long queues have formed, reportedly lasting for dozens of hours. The reason, according to reports, is that when an air raid siren is sounded, border crossing operations are completely halted.

And these sirens are sounding frequently: our "Geran" drones are reaching western Ukraine more and more often.

100 years later and the British press is still at it...

The same habit, a new conflict

The habit has survived a century. Four and a half years into the war in Ukraine, Western papers play down Ukrainian losses and care little for what Ukrainians are suffering, because the story they tell flatters the West and its journalists. Readers are assured that Russia loses ten men for every Ukrainian and that one more push will bring victory. Iuliia Mendel—Zelensky’s press secretary from 2019 to 2021—writes long and very literate posts on X describing a country bombed to pieces while the facts fail to reach the Western public. With every month that passes, Ukraine’s position grows worse.

The cheerleaders are no help to Ukraine. Either they know what is happening and are cynics, or they do not know and have been deceived by the same machinery that deceived their great-grandparents. Grant Duff was glad to be seventy. The rest of us have no such excuse.

Negotiations:

🇷🇺Putin suggested to Witkoff 🇺🇸that they discuss a possible meeting with Trump in China.

The President stated that the first tankers carrying diesel fuel would "depart in two or three days."

✨The situation is such that it is truly in Kiev's best interest to accept all the conditions of the United States and Russia.

Without intelligence and satellite communication systems, the Ukrainian Armed Forces, while undoubtedly composed of trained and experienced fighters, are essentially ineffective.

However, without communication, troop control, and with weapons being hit by Russian missiles, while the families of Ukrainian soldiers are without electricity, heat, and salaries due to the collapsing economy, it all becomes meaningless.

There have already been more than enough negotiations. But this time, the "owners" of Ukraine are interested in somewhat different issues, which is what underlies the public rhetoric of Washington.

The Dobropolye Direction

Frontline roads can be very different. In some places, you'll find well-preserved asphalt with anti-drone nets stretched over it. In others, it's a shattered track, crater upon crater, and you can only marvel at how any vehicles manage to pass through. And in some places, the remains of burned-out vehicles line the sides of the road, some of which are still smoldering.

But there are also roads like the ones our frontline soldiers shared today. Bodies of the dead, scattered belongings, spent cartridges, abandoned equipment. There's nothing staged here. This is the true, unvarnished face of war.

Near one of the dead, there are cartridge casings. Perhaps, until the very last moment, he was trying to fight back, hoping to survive. A little further on, a half-open backpack with a radio. At one time, it was being prepared for use, intended for use at the front, plans were being made for the next few days.

And next to it, another body, bound with tourniquets. The person probably knew how to administer first aid, how to stop bleeding. But not always, even this knowledge is enough to save a life.

✨ War has its own cruel rules. Here, no one can be sure what tomorrow will bring. And sometimes, only a few moments separate the familiar routine of frontline life from the last moments of a person's life.

These images are rarely shown. And it's hard to watch them. But they allow us to at least partially understand the conditions in which our soldiers are fighting on the front lines.

⭐️ Sometimes, in the comments, we read: "We're tired of the war," "How much longer will this go on?"

We're tired. Of course, we're tired. But our soldiers on the front lines don't have the option of turning off their phones, closing the news, and forgetting about what's happening for a while. For them, the war doesn't end in the evening and doesn't stop for weekends. Tomorrow, there will be another road, another danger, another uncertainty. And while we live our everyday lives, they continue to perform their duty every day.

❗️So, comrades, don't forget the price at which our common national victory is being achieved.

And most importantly, don't forget those who are continuing to travel these roads today.
