German intelligence confirms, Russia’s financial reserves for sustaining the war in Ukraine will be depleted within the next 18 months. This is precisely why Putin is pressuring Krasnov 🤡 to force an end to the very war he launched in hopes of carving up Ukrainian territory.

The mass deportation of undocumented people was one of Hitler’s largest coercive policies before the war. This set off a chain of events which can give us a useful perspective on where we are now.
