Just in case anybody had any doubt this would happen, it is clear that a "ceasefire" means as much to Russia as it does to Israel.

This is the note from Brooke, community manager at the Kyiv Independent:

"The news cycle this week has again moved rapidly, particularly regarding a potential ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia.

But the reality is even less clear than the headlines: Tuesday night, after Putin and Trump's phone call discussing ceasefire, Russia attacked Ukraine with 150 drones. Even though Putin had agreed to stop attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, drone strikes reportedly led to power outages in Slovyansk, a town in Donetsk Oblast.

We can't yet hear signs of a ceasefire in Kyiv over the sound of continued Russian drone attacks. And meanwhile, to the south and east, the front line continues to move."

"Exposing the Truth: Bucha & Irpin Are Not Propaganda" [7:45 min]

Quote by KP:
"Mar 14, 2025
Bucha and Irpin—two names that shook the world. But now, US Vice President J.D. Vance dismisses them as part of a "propaganda tour."
We traveled to Bucha and Irpin to show the undeniable truth—the scars of war, the stories of survivors, and the destruction left behind after Russia’s brutal occupation. This is not propaganda. This is reality.
In this video, we uncover:
* What really happened in March 2022
* Eyewitness accounts from survivors and residents
* The devastation of Irpin and its strategic role in the war
* How Russian disinformation fuels denial of war crimes
* Why global recognition of these crimes is critical"

Russian state TV says that they will only agree to a ceasefire if Ukraine "disarms", in other words surrenders to Russian forces, and expects to Poland to welcome Russian inspectors at each airfield.

In case you were wondering how detached from reality Trump's week-long talks with Putin really are.

Good news about our #pluginpv project in #Ukraine: “Yesterday we completed the installation of the panel: my husband fixed all the elements and ran the cables to the balcony.”

Our project partners from #EcoClubRivne are checking out how to install #solar on the #balcony. How to set ups such a system with a small battery, because there are lots of #blackouts in Ukraine, due to the destruction of the #powergrid by Russia.

Of course we also try to explore what landlords and gridoperators think and if they try to block small #pv.

For a treat, I ordered food for delivery. The driver's name was listed as Oleksil, which seemed as though it could be Scandanavian. As soon as he spoke, though, I knew better. "Are you Ukrainian?" I rudely asked. Yes, yes he was. I wanted to hug him, but I refrained (wish I hadn't), and said "Welcome, slava Ukraini". He put his hand to his chest and said "Thank you, that means so much to me."

It costs nothing to be kind.

Make no mistake about it. The United States has inserted itself to wage not one but TWO genocidal wars against TWO sovereign nations to strip them of their sovereignty, and in so doing has stripped its own citizens of their Constitutional rights and freedoms while violating International human rights. This will not end well.

Timothy Snyder:
„People keep writing to ask what they can do to help Ukraine. The country's soldiers face renewed attacks from Russia. There is a simple way to make sure that more Ukrainian soldiers survive, and to send a message that we support them: by funding armored evacuation vehicles. I am announcing a campaign to do that right now.“
