Just last week it was reported that Volodymyr Zelensky had said “Putin must die for peace” (to be achieved.) Then kaplooey! Putin’s car exploded. It was widely speculated that Zelensky or one of his operatives had a hand in the firebombed vehicle. We may never know. Or, we may need to hear from Lev Parnas to know what happened. Parnas broke the story on Twit/X and he said at the time that “the ground” had a lot of information, meaning people on the ground knew things, it was just a question of getting to the right ones. Since then, there has been a car bombing in Ukraine which killed an official. The right one? Or, it doesn’t matter, Putey just wanted revenge, so make an example of somebody?
There you have it, “Ukrainian official, Yuriy Fedko, was killed in a suspected car bomb attack in Dnipro. Kyiv authorities suspect the incident was a terrorist act, with investigations probing possible Russian involvement or internal rivalries. Fedko’s office confirmed the blast occurred inside his personal vehicle. Dnipro, located just 100 km from the frontlines, has seen rising tension amid the ongoing war with Russia,” according to the Times Of India. Meanwhile, on the home front, Trump’s current ambassador to Ukraine is evidently too spooked by her Russian master to even say his names out loud.
I wonder why Trump’s Ambassador to Ukraine can’t even name the country to who did this? Just gross that this is what is representing us in that embattled country.

Could have sworn her boss brokered a beautiful ceasefire, the likes the world has never seen.

The ballistic missile didn’t just pop up out of the blue. This is a horrific war. Putin may be dying of cancer (so it is rumored but hasn’t been confirmed) but he’s got no problem wrecking his country’s economy and destroying her morale on the way out. And he’s got his fluffer in the White House doing likewise to this nation.
Trump is petrified of Putin. He claims, hollowly, that he’ll impose tariffs or reciprocal tariffs but then you never see it. For his part, Putin has gifted Trump a painting and claims that he “prayed” for him the day of the Butler, Pennsylvania assassination attempt — but he didn’t specify to which deity he prayed. Satan? That I would believe. Not praying to God but absolutely I would believe that Putin prayed to Satan that Donald continue in all of their joint endeavors together.
Ukraine will not surrender. If she would, then Poland and Lithuania fall next. Trump may not have enough class to have received the bodies of four fallen U.S. soldiers in Lithuania, but at least the Lithuanians themselves turned out in the street to honor our fallen dead.
Europe will rally behind Ukraine in the absence of American support. Look sharp now. You’re seeing the Marshall plan and the peace won eighty years ago with dear blood unraveling in real time. The destruction of USAID was only the beginning. This *new* America under Trump 2.0 is a disgrace and is only going to continue to manifest itself as such as the weeks and months wear on.
Meanwhile, Donald is oblivious. He’s too busy with his golf game.

Zoomers, if you can spare a little green energy to help us trek through cyberspace, we would appreciate it. We’re in it for the long haul. And thank you most of all for coming here to read. Ursula
I would first look closeky at oligarchs on Vlad’s hit list and generals who know they are losing and would prefer to.live rather than dying at front as Russian generals seem to have a habit of doing. Putin whines it’s unfair if the Ukrainian army lobs missiles over the border, but it was perfectly fine to.invade a sovereign nation twice.
