Pugacheva Praises Dudayev – Sparks Outrage Alla Pugacheva (born 1949) is Russia’s legendary pop singer, famous for her powerful voice and emotional performances. Her words carry enormous influence, and recently she left Russia after criticizing the war in Ukraine. She called Dzhokhar Dudayev “decent and handsome” in an interview. Apti Alaudinov, who lost 20 relatives fighting Dudayev’s forces, shot back: “He was a terrorist. I know these events firsthand.” Maria Zakharova supported him: “It is inappropriate to praise a man responsible for terror and bloodshed in Chechnya.”

A journalist from India Today said that even Russian-speaking Ukrainians in eastern Ukraine were shocked by the actions of the Russians, to which Putin said that he "gave them the opportunity to express their will in a referendum," and those who didn’t want to, he claimed, "were free to leave." (So it's their own fault that Russia is destroying them, according to war criminal Putin?)

It is a war of attrition, but there is a fundamental difference between what is happening in Ukraine and what is happening in Russia. Ukrainian blogger Grigory German explains this difference in simple terms. Every Russian should pay attention to what he says!

Rep. Jim Himes, who recently met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv, said that the Ukrainians have an edge in their war with Russia. He told Margaret Brennan “the Ukrainians are inflicting a mind-boggling number of deaths on the Russians.” “The Russian casualties are like 30,000 a month. It's just staggering. I mean, it's like a Vietnam every two months for the Russians there,” Himes (D-CT) said. “So, make no mistake, the Ukrainians are winning this war.”

A Russian asks a Ukrainian historian how it is possible that an entire country, an entire people, could be brainwashed the way they did with the Ukrainians? The historian asks to tell us how they brainwashed us? The Russian explains that Russia is an enemy for Ukrainians. He wonders when Russia became an occupier for Ukrainians?

"Kyiv is the historical Russian capital" – a history lesson from NATO commander, French Admiral Vandier. "The war in Ukraine is an existential war for Russians. It's existential for Ukrainians, but it's also existential for Russians. Kyiv is the historical Russian capital. Kyiv was the center of Slavic Orthodoxy. And so today we can say that the war in Ukraine is a civil war between Slavs, and it's a war of identity. In a sense, it's almost a religious war, similar to those Europe has experienced in its history. Russia has become a true military-industrial power. It produces more military equipment than it loses. Moreover, it produces significantly more than it did at the beginning of the war."

“The goals of Putin’s war are related to the restoration of the geopolitical influence of the Russian Federation on Europe. Together with China, it will squeeze the United States out of Europe and Asia. I have never understood what a peace agreement that expects Ukraine to give up some regions has to do with that.” - Vitaly Portnikov, Ukrainian author and journalist

A Ukrainian historian explains to a Russian that World War II was started by two countries: the USSR and the Third Reich. The only difference between them is that the USSR invented excuses about "liberation", while the Nazis honestly declared occupation.

Putin and Russian state media: Ukrainians on occupied by Russia territories are happy to become part of Russia! Russian war volunteers who visit these areas: - more than 70% of Ukrainians leaking information about Russian forces to Ukraine; - even old people ready to help Ukraine to hit Russian forces; - Russians afraid to stay in night among civilians on occupied territories; - Ukrainians hate Russian soldiers and volunteers and not give them fuel services; - Ukrainians don't need "Russian world" in Ukraine; - most of Ukrainians on occupied territories is Ukrainian people who speaks Ukrainian language... So for what "liberation" Russia killed hundred thousands of Ukrainians and destroy entire Ukrainian cities in the Donbas???

TRUMP: And there's actually very little difference between the people. I mean, you know, it's like the Russians and Ukrainian people. And they can get along. ————————————————— “We had a month…35,000 (KIA) two months ago. And I would say more Russians. But it's just, they're people. They're people. And there's actually very little difference between the people. I mean, you know, it's like the Russians and Ukrainian people. And they can get along. But, but it's a nasty war” - American President on Wed, Jul 8, 2026 in Ankara, Turkey, during the NATO Summit. P.S. Nothing triggers the average Ukrainian more than comparing them to russians.

🇺🇦🚨‼️ Poor people need to die for the state, not the elite, said famous Ukrainian journalist Vitaly Portnikov. “Now we hear from people that deputies should fight, and then they will go. No, people, this is a democratic state. In a democratic state, ordinary people die for the country. If we want aristocrats to die for the state, we must live in a feudal country, as it was before the Great French Revolution,” Portnikov said.

"Let's break up, Vladimir Vladimirovich! I've had enough": Alla Pugacheva, one of the most famous russian pop singers, in her first major interview since her move. The prima donna spoke openly about censorship in the russian Federation, her anti-war stance, and her former sympathies for the Kremlin leadership. Within seven hours, the interview with Ekaterina Gordeeva reached nearly 800,000 views. Pugacheva admitted to once voting for and admiring putin, but now describes his policies as a shock. The singer compared modern russia to a "communal apartment" where everyone is forced to live together without the right to their own space. The artist's husband, Maxim Galkin, condemned the all-out war against Ukraine in February 2022, after which the family was subjected to harassment in the russian Federation.

A Ukrainian historian teaches a Russian that Kyivan Rus is not Russia. I am shocked but Russians think it is the same state. The Russian also thinks that Lviv is an Austrian city, so the historian explains to him that it is a Ukrainian city that was later occupied by the Polish-Lithuanian and Austro-Hungarian states.

Russian ambassador to the UN Nebenzya said he is Ukrainian himself, and Russians and Ukrainians are one nation. Mariana Betsa, Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister, gave a firm reply to his lies, calling them for what they are: manipulation, disinformation and propaganda. "We're never one nation with Russia. I will never be one nation with Russia. Ukraine is a democratic, free European country, while Russia is an aggressive state which wages aggression, terrorism, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, and also genocide," Mariana Betsa said.
