She appears to be doing charity work?

As for profiting off the war, how many Rubles do you firehouses make a week?

So Russian patriots have to be bought off to carry out Putin’s war?

Trump Says Russian Strike on Ukraine ‘a Horrible Thing’

The Sumy strike came two days after US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff travelled to Russia to meet President Vladimir Putin and push Trump’s efforts to end the war.

by AFP | April 14, 2025, 8:28 am

US President Donald Trump on Sunday said a Russian strike on the Ukrainian city of Sumy that killed at least 34 people was “a horrible thing.”

“I think it was terrible. And I was told they made a mistake. But I think it’s a horrible thing. I think the whole war is a horrible thing,” Trump told reporters on board Air Force One while headed back to Washington.

Asked to clarify what he meant by a “mistake,” Trump said that “they made a mistake... you’re gonna ask them” -- without specifying who or what he meant.

The American leader’s National Security Council (NSC) had earlier Sunday called the Russian strike “a clear and stark reminder of why President Donald Trump’s efforts to try and end this terrible war comes at a crucial time.”

Neither Trump nor the White House named Moscow as the perpetrator of the attack, though Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier offered condolences to the “victims of today’s horrifying Russian missile attack on Sumy.”

Russia needs lots of recruits the rate off losses in 2022 was 5 soldiers per every vehicle (tank, truck or whatever), and now are 20 to every vehicle with tanks and IFV's a rare site at the front. Russia needs a meat wave army.



They are still running off their conscripts and volunteers. I'll start paying attention to Russian recruiting numbers when they have to pull people into vans off the street and the subway.

Gifted musician and teacher Olena Kohut killed in Russian missile strike on Sumy

Anna Kovalenko — Sunday, 13 April 2025, 17:40

Olena Kohut, a musician from Sumy, was killed in the Russian missile strike on 13 April. She was a solo organist at the regional philharmonic, a member of the orchestra at the local theatre and a lecturer at a professional arts college.


Source: UP.Life citing Kohut's colleagues from Sumy National Theatre named after Mykhailo Shchepkin and the Sumy Oblast Philharmonic

Details: "On 13 April 2025, as a result of a missile strike by Russia, our theatre family experienced a pain that cannot be expressed in words.

Olena was an incredibly bright person, a true professional, a caring colleague and a loyal friend. Her music, her smile, her kindness – will remain in our memory forever," the theatre wrote.

Colleagues from the Bortnianskyi Sumy Professional College of Arts and Culture described her as a talented pianist, "full of energy and creative plans".

They said she was a true mentor and pillar of support for her students, helping them unlock their potential and believe in themselves.

They added that during her lessons, Kohut not only passed on her knowledge but also taught humanity, kindness, and optimism.

"Her mastery, deep understanding of music and impeccable performance captivated everyone lucky enough to hear her," the college wrote.

In addition to her teaching and professional musical work, Olena performed abroad, playing the Ukrainian national anthem in historic European churches as a way to promote Ukrainian culture.

Olena Kohut is survived by her mother, husband and sons.

Such a tower of fear and weakness. Unprepared, uncaring, a worthless piece of shite. He was hell on those 14-year old girls at Epstein's place and women trying on clothing in department store dressing rooms, but he is not nor ever will be anything but an abject coward.

Trump has fully turned on Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."

Blaming the victims with a false narrative, a lie. Classic cowardice.

That is crazy talk.

Russia invaded Ukraine way before Zekensky came along. Russia started this and Russia keeps dragging Trump through the mud by giving him lip service. Trump appears to be losing it.

It is common knowledge Z had an out, he could have surrendered but he didn’t.

"A realistic out" would have been a better way to phrase it

I've actually been to the medical school that they studied at in Kiev and it's the only time in my life that I've vomited in disgust.

The bathroom had holes in the floor and it was the most foul thing I've ever seen or smelled in my life. It was like we were in India .

Disgusting. And this was in 2016.
