โThe facade of diplomacy about coercing is to get their way because Trump and the Trump administration have other things to attend to geopolitically. And at this stage, Ukraine is an impediment to those geopolitical strategies and priorities,โ Simons stressed.

The sacred feast of Christโs victory over death holds profound significance for the Russian military.
Here is how it is celebrated:
๐ถ On the eve of Easter, military chaplains of the Tsentr Group of Forces delivered blessed Easter cakes to frontline units and conducted festive services, so that every serviceman could partake in the joy and sacred significance of this holy day.
