We are re-publishing our best episodes and series from the archives. Here’s our “Spirit of 2014” series covering, in detail, the effects the Euromaidan had on the Russian parts of the Ukraine, the events in Crimea, the “Russian Spring” and the War in the Donbass, including its immediate aftermath. It’s freely available to everyone. Few remember those events in detail; they are covered in a thick veil of propaganda and mythology (from all sides). We scoured long-forgotten blogs, defunct news websites, talked to participants and checked out many other archival sources, all with one goal: reconstructing the history of those events — the Spirit of 2014! One of our finest projects. Now available to everyone (no paywall!) on our 'stack ⬇️

At least they are not speaking Russian 🙏
64,000 immigrants in 1 year. That's 3.5% of Latvia's entire population in a country of just 1.8 million. This is equivalent to: ~12 million immigrants for US ~2.4 million immigrants for UK In 1 year! ONE FUCKIN YEAR, MATE! The ancient Latvian nation is on the verge of extinction! Not even Canada has seen an immigration level of 3.5% a year! Largest numbers come from Muslim countries and India. Madness! We Europeans have to look out for one another. Help us out! Spread the word!

Probably not great to live next to the “Vizar” missile plant after it was hit

The local militia in question, hehe.
In the meantime, largely unnoticed, there has been renewed combat in the Central African Republic. A week ago, rebels, mostly consisting of Sudanese and Chadian mercenaries, attacked the northern border town of Am Dafok. Today, the town has been fully recaptured by the CAR Armed Forces and local pro-government militias, with help from Russian military specialists.

The Russian Ministry of Defence reports that the Ukrainian side has officially declined the Russian ceasefire offer and won't pick up their dead.
The Russian Ministry of Defence has offered to hand over the bodies of fallen Ukrainian soldiers in Konstantinovka; to this end, the AFU should stop shelling the city for six hours on July 6th (12pm-6pm). They have until noon tomorrow to decide if they agree.

If Ukrainian reports are to be believed, there's not a single intact gas station left on the highway between the 2nd and 4th largest "Ukrainian" cities (Kharkov & Dnepropetrovsk), and none inside the city of Sumy, either.

Zelensky's pet media is running a campaign against a popular Russian cartoon, arguing that it's “dangerous Russian propaganda” because the little girl protagonist is loud and disobedient sometimes.

No impacts. All successfully shot down.
BREAKING: Ukraine launches major Flamingo attack against Russia. At least 10 of Ukraine’s huge FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles have been launched. They are the size of a school bus and carry warheads on 1150 kg. This one was filmed flying over Chuvasia, 1000 km from Ukraine
