Rules:

No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like ThreadReaderApp.com or Nitter, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.
Don't just complain about paywalls. If you encounter one, be a sport and link to an archived version instead. Use Firefox + Cookie AutoDelete + uBlock Origin with the annoyances filters enabled and https://filterlists.com/lists/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter to avoid encountering many in the first place.

Ukraine struck the Yaroslavl refinery bringing their total to five refineries struck in the last seven days. An OZON warehouse in Adygea was also targeted by drones. Republicans got wiped out in the American midterm elections. MAGA is dead and Trump's power to help Russia has been severely reduced.

There is no doubt that if USA wanted, they could double the EU aid Ukraine is receiving, and with that the war would be over much sooner. But with Trump as president, it is very unlikely that much aid will go to Ukraine.
How long it takes for Russia to finally collapse is hard to say, and Ukraine is definitely hurting too. But the advantage for Ukraine is that their economy is actually OK, because of the aid received from the coalition of the willing.

I have no hopes Trump will be removed, judging from how the Democrats behaved last time Trump was president. Wringing their hands on even investigating the accusations against Trump. Democrats are better than the Republicans, but that doesn't mean they are much good. Being better than the Republicans is a very low bar.
