Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.

  4. Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

An old one. But this never fails to make my day whenever it pops up on my news feed. Russian officials deride Zelensky for being a comedian. But so many of them act like children in front of cameras. Tsk tsk.

100% instigated by that old Russian chucklefuck who ripped the Ukrainian flag down behind a Ukrainian dude in the middle of a picture being taken. Genuinely unsure what the Russian guy thought how that was gonna play out, because this was a pretty obvious outcome.

He didn’t just rip the flag down, he tore it out of the Ukrainians hands.
