On 22 November 2025, Ukraine observes Holodomor Commemoration Day, honoring the millions who perished during the 1932–33 famine deliberately created by the Stalin-led Soviet government. “Death solves all problems. No human, no problem,” said Joseph Stalin.

The Holodomor targeted Ukraine’s population and its national identity through state-imposed starvation, grain requisitions, and the criminalization of basic survival.

At the height of the famine, an estimated 28,000 people died every day—17 every minute, 1,000 every hour. Demographic studies place the overall death toll in Ukraine between 3 and 7 million, excluding Ukrainians outside the Ukrainian SSR who also starved, the hundreds of thousands deported during collectivization, and the many religious, cultural, and political leaders executed in the same period.

Despite holding substantial grain reserves and continuing to export agricultural products, the Soviet authorities denied the famine, rejected international aid, and enforced policies such as the “Law of Spikelets,” which punished starving people—including with execution—for gathering leftover grain in the fields.

For decades, the USSR suppressed all information about the Holodomor. The Russian Federation continues to deny or minimize this historical crime today.

Calm down Wilco, you'll do yourself a mishap.

Ukraine make their own, highly effective, long range drones and missiles; Long Neptune, Flamingo, Liutyi, Bars and several others.

The MSM is not perfect. That's why I watch YouTube channels such as; Jake Broe, Kay in Kyiv, Ukraine Matters, Professor Gerdes Explains, Denys Davydov, APT Geopolitics.

The problem the MSM as usual are not reporting the desperate shape of the Ruzzian economy.... etc, etc... yawn

Pütler sounded lukewarm... maybe it could be a starting point. He probably doesn't like the bit about "enter into a long-term economic cooperation agreement" with the US. Sounds like Donny wants to put the squeeze on Ruzzia for the long-term. The Oligarchs won't like the yanks hoovering up their profits. This deal may not be as lop sided as it first appears - he's gonna f both of them.

Pütler must have some serious kompromat on Orange Don, more than the pee pee tapes and the money laundering. Anyway, America is no longer the reliable partner we thought they were. When Pütler has taken the rest of Ukraine, give it a couple of years, he will have a go at Estonia and Latvia. China will invade Taiwan. Not looking good.

Key points from President Zelensky’s 16:40 address, Friday 21 November:

• Zelensky said Ukraine is at one of the most critical moments in its history, balancing national dignity with the risk of losing partner support as new 28 point proposals are discussed.

• He said Ukraine will actively engage with the United States and Europe to study the proposals and present its own alternatives, preventing Russia from claiming Ukraine rejects peace.

• He drew a firm line that no agreement can omit dignity or freedom, since these principles define Ukraine’s sovereignty.

• He rejected any temporary ceasefire or protocol deal that would let Russia regroup. The only acceptable outcome is a durable and honorable end to the war.

• He urged Ukraine’s politicians to stop internal fighting, warning that Russia is using political and information pressure to divide the country.

• He recalled refusing surrender demands in February 2022 and said he will not sign any form of capitulation now.

• He appealed to European leaders, reminding them that Ukraine is the shield protecting Europe from Putin’s ambitions.

• He acknowledged the exhaustion and losses Ukrainians face, saying they want peace, but only one that ensures survival and liberty.

He's postponing the second half for a couple of years, at best

That, right there, is what's known as - projection

So they were nowhere near Pokrovsk in 2023? that's embarrassing

If Ukraine has "no money, soldiers or weapons".... then why does it take the Orcs over a year to (almost) take a small town like Pokrovsk ???

They are making their own weapons. They're experts in drone warfare - NATO wants to learn from them. They now have a suite of home grown long range drones and missiles that are destroying Orc energy infrastructure and air defence with increasing frequency. Their Long Neptune cruise missile is particularly effective. Then there's the Flamingo, Liutyi, Bars, to name but a few.

Security guarantees? what? like the Budapest Memorandum ?

If Pütler stops the war now the Siloviki will kill him.

The main goal is all of Ukraine otherwise he's dead.

Putin has no intention of stopping his war

That's right, 1k Orcs are killed every day in Pütlers meatgrinder

Russia can carry on taking land... very, very slowly. Ukraine can carry on bombing their oil refineries.

What will break first? the Ukrainian army or the Ruzzian economy?

Yeah, well Trump has been known to change his mind - know what I mean?

Agree, the , so called, peace deal is a non-starter. It's a solo effort by the Steve Witkoff geezer, who is a real-estate, golf buddy, of Trump and completely out of his depth. It is just the same Russian maximalist garbage from the Alaska meet dressed up a 28 point framework ala the Gaza deal. He's trying to make himself relevant before getting the sack.

I googled this "how much oil export capacity has russia lost"

Russia has lost a significant portion of its oil export capacity, with estimates suggesting Ukraine's drone strikes have disabled approximately 38% of its refining capacity and caused a 13% month-on-month decline in oil product exports in September 2025. This disruption has been a major factor in reducing Russia's total seaborne oil export volumes and is expected to continue impacting exports due to ongoing attacks and the difficulty of replacing Western equipment for repairs.

Don't expect a peace deal soon ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60xPEHKtY8Y

Care to give us one of those Ukrainian sources?
