1/10 Scam alert: russia is not the conservative christian paradise it claims to be Image
2/10 russia enjoys portraying itself as a christian conservative paradise with traditional values, but the actual reality is quite different. Image
3/10 While substantial strides have been achieved in curbing HIV on a global scale, russia's epidemic has persisted over the last three decades. Approximately 1.1 million russians, out of a total population of 144 million, are currently living with HIV. Image
4/10 russia's life expectancy ranks 96th globally, with men having a life expectancy of only 66 years, which is lower than that of North Korea, Syria, or Bangladesh. Image
5/10 russia's intentional homicide rate is among the highest in Europe, if not the highest, depending on the year and statistics being considered. Image
6/10 Despite its efforts to combat abortions, russia still reported approximately a million abortions in 2017 alone. This figure continues to decline as the number of births also decreases. Image
7/10 russia has a low average monthly nominal wage of 71,419 roubles ($756). The percentage of russians who report that their salary does not cover basic expenses has risen by 20 points over two years, reaching nearly half of the population. Image
8/10 russia has a Muslim population of approximately 20 million people. It's notable that russia, despite having a significant Muslim population, continues to propagate disinformation about Europe being invaded by Islam. Image
9/10 As always, russia is being dishonest. Additionally, the concerning reality for russia is the current increase in both crime and alcoholism rates, following years of improvement in these areas. Image

P.S. Numerous critical metrics highlighting issues within russia are absent. For instance, russia exhibits alarmingly high suicide rates, ranking among the highest globally. Additionally, the country experiences elevated levels of divorce. Image

1/7 Ukraine’s defense industry is not operating at full capacity. What are we waiting for to place enough orders to reach full capacity? Europe, wake up! Image
2/7 Europe loves making excuses. We claim we can’t send more aid because our stockpiles are low, yet we don’t place orders to replenish them. If we don’t want to send our own equipment, we can always order from Ukraine’s industry Image
3/7 Ukraine’s defense industry is formidable, producing weapons quickly and at a low cost. It’s the best bang for your buck, and Ukraine knows how to use them effectively. This also helps Ukraine become less dependent on its allies Image

1/4 russia is losing the unprovoked war it started and has been fighting for nothing for the last three years. The fact that Trump’s peace proposal is more favorable to Ukraine than the 2022 Istanbul draft proves this Image
2/4 russia is losing the war, now occupying about 19% of Ukraine compared to 30% in March 2022. The fact that the Istanbul draft was worse for Ukraine than Trump’s current proposal shows russia has fought for nothing all this time. What a waste! Pathetic! Image
3/4 The deal Trump is offering to Ukraine is better than one in Istanbul, but it is still unfair. The war is likely to continue, and Europe needs to make long-term commitments of aid to Ukraine to give it more leverage in the negotiations Image

1/17 Europe is already at war. It’s high time we stop ignoring this reality! Image
2/17 Most Europeans are divided between those who know how serious the situation is but prefer not to think about it too much, and those who don’t know what a war is. It’s time they learn, and high time we all admit to ourselves that we are at war with russia Image
3/17 Some have been criticized in Europe for saying that we are at war, but they were right. There are many forms of war, and russia is imposing several of them on Europe Image

1/7 Failure Unlimited: russia has suffered 900,000 total casualties, expanded NATO, militarized Ukraine, and ruined its own economy, while reducing its control from about 30% of Ukraine in March 2022 to roughly 19% now. Look at the maps and witness the catastrophe! Image
2/7 russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has marked its most significant failure during Putin’s reign. Not only has russia failed in its invasion, but it has also paid a huge price on many levels Image
3/7 In March 2022, russia occupied approximately 30% of Ukraine, but over three years later, it now occupies only 19%. This reduction has come at the expense of 900,000 russian casualties, ruined demographics, and a devastated economy. Pathetic! Image

1/6 Trump’s negotiation strategy on Ukraine is failing: Being soft on russia has never worked and never will. Putin keeps humiliating him, yet Trump keeps asking for more Image
2/6 Trump vowed to bring peace to Ukraine within 24 hours. However, after nearly 3 months in the White House, he has yet to secure even a partial ceasefire. It is important to hold him accountable for this unfulfilled promise because it comes at the cost of Ukrainian lives Image
3/6 Trump’s strategy has consistently been misguided. Despite Ukraine agreeing to an unconditional ceasefire, he continues to pressure and threaten them. Meanwhile, he exerts no pressure on russia and even makes excuses for their actions. He keeps projecting weakness Image

1/9 russia is actually losing the war it started in Ukraine. Here’s why: Image
2/9 russia is unable to reach its stratetic goals of demilitarization and ’denazification,’ which require a forced ’regime change’ in Ukraine. Ukraine is more sovereign and more militarized than before the war Image
3/9 russia occupied around 30% of Ukraine at the end of March 2022. Three years and approximately 900k total casualties later, it occupies 19% of Ukraine. russia has achieved nothing, but this nothing has come at a huge cost! Image
