"Putin is afraid to admit how many [Russian] people have died. Because if the moment comes when he needs to mobilize, his society will be afraid," Zelensky said.
Ukrainian authorities have confirmed that at least 20 of the bodies Russia returned as Ukrainian were actually Russian soldiers.
"Sometimes these bodies even have Russian passports," Zelensky said.
He also cited the case of a deceased Israeli citizen fighting on Russia's side, whom Moscow had passed off as a Ukrainian soldier.

Funny how anti-regulation #MAGA types love the Bald Eagle.
It nearly went extinct—saved by banning DDT, the Endangered Species Act, and habitat protection. All government action.
By 1963, only 417 nesting pairs were left. By 2007, over 10,000. Nixon signed those protections. Even he cared more than today's GOP. So when a MAGA fan flaunts an eagle, remind them: “Woke” liberals and federal regs saved that bird. Not them.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.
For a truce, #Russia demanded 4 Ukrainian regions, which would force Ukraine to give up territory, industry and abandon millions.
We collected stories from these areas that show what the true depth of this loss would be.
@Minski At least he showed the world the futility of dealing with fascists, the Nazis just wanted more after each concession.
We shouldn't repeat that mistake again.

Yesterday, BEFORE Elon blew shit up again, Mark Kelly asked Whiskey Pete Hegseth whether he gutted the Pentagon's testing office so they couldn't tell him that Golden Dome, which is expected to pay Elon billions, wouldn't work.
