Remembrance of the Holodomor banned, but not crushed, in Russian-occupied Ukraine

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain.

Nobody with any sense or decency should be there.

No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there.

It appears increasingly likely the US will lift sanctions against Russian-backed Bosnian Serb secessionist Milorad Dodik in the coming days. It will be Dodik's crowning achievement after a decade of lobbying in the US, and a categorical reversal of Obama, Trump I, and Biden era policies.
