This is the best show Putin could have hoped for: not a single straight answer. We have a Canadian brigade in Latvia. But what is the order for this brigade? Will they shoot if Russians cross the border? We know the answer: it would take ages to negotiate it.

Yesterday I spoke to hundred of American students at Ukraine House in Denmark in Copenhagen.

This video is almost exactly the same as the moment I was wounded: a mortar attack, guided by a drone, contusion and another 20 minutes underground (under a train car in the video) with shrapnel in my neck before the drone flew away.
Turn on the sound to hear what modern war sounds like.

Once a symbol of US power and freedom, Radio Liberty is now forced to reduce toilets on the floors of its head office in Prague to conserve water and electricity.
To be honest, even in captivity, where I found myself for writing articles for Radio Liberty, we didn't line up for the toilet.

This is what the house looks like now, where I once rented an apartment to rest after returning from combat.
The apartment was rented out at insane prices, and the owners didn't hide the fact that this was payment for the fact that it would one day no longer exist, as if AFU were to blame
