Russian “Feminism” 101. 😂
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social)
Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellas and Fellarinas, Behold one of the most ridiculous statements to ever come from a Russian government official. Irina Yarovaya should do stand-up comedy! Seriously! Enjoy!

Do Russians just feel compelled to kill anything alive no matter what species? Tonight Russian drones killed three horses at the equestrian club in the Kyiv region.

You can't make this 💩 up! Patriarch Kirill awarded Margarita Simonyan with the Russian Church order for her “contribution to the preservation of traditional values in society” and because today is her birthday! 😂

If your husband comes back from the ‘SMO’ and beats you - don't call the police… but if you do nothing is going to happen to him because there are no laws in Russia against domestic violence.

“There are a lot of us and we can achieve what we want. Everyone present here is not satisfied with what is happening now.” Turns out Russians are actually capable of coming out to protest something they believe in! It's not what you probably think, by the way.

Shh! Nobody tell Trump that according to his buddy Putin, it was China and not the US that defeated Japan in WWII. 😂😂😂
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social)
2 contradicting statements made by Putin: “I agree with those who believe that each country has the right to choose its own security system. This applies to all countries, including Ukraine.” “We have always been against Ukraine being a member of the North Atlantic bloc.”

“By the way, Donald asked me to hold such a meeting if it's possible. I said, “Yes, it’s possible”. In the end, if Zelensky is ready, let him come to Moscow and such a meeting will take place.” - Putin Donald? Moscow? What? 🙄
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social)
I told [Trump]: “I'm very glad to see you dear neighbor… ALIVE and well!” Watch Putin’s face after he says the above describing his meeting with Trump in Alaska. What exactly is mumbling Putin trying to insinuate? 🤔
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social)
We all know that the best confirmation that something is true is when Russia denies it. Why is Putin’s right-hand man Ushakov so nervous? 🤔 “I want to say that no one organized any conspiracy plots [against the US]. Moreover, no one even had such thoughts. None of these three leaders had them.”

Margarita Simonyan tells Russians to stop whining because it's a sin. 😂 ‼️Simonyan knows her audience lacks deductive reasoning skills and reminds them that, for the first time in Russian history, their country has no allies and is up against the whole civilized Western world.

Hard to believe that after 3.5 years of full-scale war Russian propaganda is back to “It would’ve been hundreds of thousands of victims [if we didn't start the SMO]” 🙄🙄🙄

I’m not sure what’s funnier: Solovyov agreeing with Trump that those who wage wars don't always win or the voice they used to dub Trump. Sound on! 😂

🤪 Ramzan Kadyrov posted an AI-generated video of Trump in traditional Chechen attire with the caption: “Did you know that Donald Trump is Chechen? Here, he confirmed it himself. He promises not to forget his roots.”

Don't look away! Watch the whole video if you can stomach it. This is the capital of the largest country in Europe under attack from barbarians who respect nothing and value nothing apart from money. There is a report that a small child’s body was found under the rubble
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social)
Ukrainian rescuers pulled the body of a small child out of the rubble in Kyiv. This poor child didn't work at a drone factory or military base. Russia struck yet another apartment building during the night when it can kill the largest number of people which is always its preferred target.
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social) reply parent
That's 100% true
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social)
This is yet another apartment building in Kyiv destroyed by Trump’s friend Putin.

It's morning, but the air raid siren still sounds in almost every city in my country. Hundreds of russian drones all night, dozens of missiles in the early morning. Again destroyed residential buildings, there are dead, wounded... Kyiv suffered the most, photo.
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social)
Please pray that the Ukrainian civilians currently trapped under the rubble (because Russia allegedly only targets military sites 🙄😡) get rescued in time. 🙏 loop
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social)
Tomorrow Russian Ministry of Defense will claim that this apartment building in Kyiv was a military target. Just a few days ago I was talking to my uncle and he was saying that Russians were claiming that a shop storage they hit near where he lives was a drone factory.

It has a lot to do with the situation at hand. Most people in the Russian government still have the Soviet mindset. Lavrov showed up to Alaska wearing a shirt that said ‘USSR’.

Except for the UPA (the Ukrainian Insurgent Army). They fought against both the Nazis and the Soviets during WWII. They continued to fight against the Soviets even after the war.

Watching Trump’s interview with Sean Hannity. So Putin (’smart guy’ according to Trump) told Trump that he lost in 2020 because of the mail-in voting. That's rich coming from a dictator who stays in power only because every election in his country is rigged. 🤪

25 years ago, on August 12, 2000, the nuclear submarine "Kursk" sank in the Barents Sea, resulting in the loss of 118 lives. Putin couldn't care less for those aboard. Watch Putin's expression in an interview with Larry King, where he discusses what happened to the "Kursk." 🔽🔽🔽
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social)
Do you know why Russian propaganda is loving Karoline Leavitt’s comments about President Zelensky not being invited to the meeting in Alaska? It's because it makes Russians see Trump as Putin’s lapdog: Putin requested a meeting on his terms, and Trump obliged.
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social)
“Kyiv in 4 hours” is just a Russian myth repeated by Trump. The reality is different. It's confirmed by Pavel Gubarev who witnessed the events: “They were waiting for us there, and with small forces, they put up such a fierce resistance that we washed ourselves with blood there.”
Natalka (@natalkakyiv.bsky.social)
Interesting poll from Russia. Out of 58,812 responders, 68% believe that their country must repair its relations with the US. The same evil US that they were taught to hate their whole lives. 👀 Only 9% said that all ties should be severed forever.
