🇷🇺🤝🇺🇸 CIA confirms: Russia helped Trump win the election The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency has officially confirmed in a detailed review that the Kremlin actively interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections to support Donald Trump’s victory — and that Vladimir Putin personally ordered the operation. This isn’t just a theory — it’s intelligence fact, validated in the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), now publicly available via the CIA’s official archive. 📄 According to the declassified report, Russian efforts included: ➤ Coordinated cyberattacks on the Democratic National Committee ➤ Disinformation campaigns on U.S. social media ➤ Targeted leaks of internal political communications ➤ And overt propaganda through state media like RT and Sputnik — all with the explicit aim of undermining Hillary Clinton and boosting Trump. Putin’s goal was crystal clear: install a president in Washington who would weaken NATO, divide the West, and be reluctant to oppose Russian aggression. The CIA, FBI, and NSA were unanimous in their conclusion — and yet, years later, it becomes even more evident why Trump consistently acts in line with Russian interests. ⚠️ Under Trump’s influence (and his allies like Elbridge Colby), the U.S. is now: – Halting air defense systems for Ukraine – Delaying funding while Ukrainians die under missile fire – Threatening to withdraw from NATO altogether And why? Because the same man whose campaign directly benefited from Russian cyberattacks now leads a political movement that doesn’t see Russia as the enemy. Let’s be clear: 🇺🇸 The U.S. promised Ukraine security assurances in 1994 (Budapest Memorandum) in exchange for nuclear disarmament. Today, those promises are broken. Not because of public will — but because Russia’s candidate became America’s president, and his agenda still echoes through U.S. foreign policy. 🤯 The most ironic twist? While Trump presents himself as a nationalist, his actions consistently serve Moscow — not the American people, not U.S. allies, and certainly not the cause of democracy. This is what foreign influence in elections looks like when it succeeds. And we are all paying the price.

Ukrainian world champion in karate among youth Maria Gnes refused to take a photo with Russian women on the podium This happened at the stage of the Youth League in Venice (Italy), where Maria was supported by another Ukrainian athlete, Anna Vaschyshyn, who took third place. By the way, Maria's father is a current serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Respect to such athletes! And shame on those who allow terrorists to compete!

🖕"Stop tapping your finger and talk like an equal" — Zelensky tells US Treasury Secretary President Zelensky revealed how he shut down Scott Bessent, the new US Treasury Secretary, after he tried to pressure Ukraine into signing a rare-earth metals deal before Zelensky’s White House visit. 💬 “He said: ‘You need to sign this now.’ I said: ‘Stop tapping your finger and let’s talk seriously.’ He probably expected a different kind of conversation. But I don’t see Ukraine as some third-rate country. We should talk as equals.” That’s the only right answer. Because we’re not some colony. We’re a nation bleeding daily to stop World War III.

How Lviv dressed for Independence Day

🤡 Orban: “Hungary Doesn’t Want to Be in NATO or the EU if Ukraine Joins” At the EU summit in Copenhagen, Viktor Orban openly declared that Hungary does not want to belong to any alliance — not NATO, not the EU — if Ukraine becomes a member. In plain words: Hungary refuses to share a table with Ukrainians, even inside the very structures that guarantee its own security and prosperity. So maybe the solution is simple: if Orban doesn’t want to be in the EU or NATO with Ukraine, then perhaps Europe should ask whether it wants to be in an alliance with him. His statements have crossed from mere obstructionism into full-blown Ukrainophobia — rhetoric that now mirrors Moscow’s, not Brussels’. And history is speaking here. Hungary once aligned itself with Hitler’s Reich, betraying its neighbors and its own future. Today Orban seems intent on repeating that path, standing with Putin instead of Europe, isolating his country while pretending it is “neutral.” Ukraine, meanwhile, is bleeding and fighting for the very values NATO and the EU were founded to protect. For Orban to suggest that Hungarians “don’t want” to stand alongside Ukrainians is not only cowardice — it’s treason to the idea of a united Europe. The real question now is no longer whether Ukraine belongs in NATO and the EU. It does. The question is whether Hungary under Orban still belongs there.

Ukraine. Wild horse meets domestic horse 🥰

Interesting graffiti has appeared in Lviv. It is suggested that this may be a new work by Banksy.

A Georgian man at a Katy Perry concert said into the microphone that Russia occupied 20% of his country and now Russia has seized power in his country. Katy Perry not only let him say it, but asked him to repeat it, and then expressed her support for Georgia.

It's funny to me that the Russians still haven't realized that our mentality is different. Yes, when we say #PutinKhuylo it offends you because you are slaves and we speak ill of your master. But when you say something bad about Zelensky, we don't care, because Zelensky is one of the 40 million Ukrainians whom we chose to temporarily represent Ukraine on the international stage. We ourselves can say something bad about Zelensky if we don't like it. And you can't tell about your king - you just don't dare. And if someone does tell, he will spend the rest of his life in prison, drink poisoned tea or fall out of a window. In Ukraine, we raised a revolution against the dictator Kuchma, who very much resembled Lukashenka in his style of government. We drove out Yanukovych, who resembled a mixture of Putin and Medvedev. Why do we stand under the bullets of snipers with wooden shields. And you were running away from one policeman in a crowd. There is a big difference between us... That's why none of your propaganda has had an effect on adequate people. Only on idiots, and only on slaves who live in dictatorial countries, like you.

16-year-old world champion Onofriychuk did not take a joint photo with the Russian and Belarusian women. Respect!

Despite the fact that both President Zelensky and President Tokayev of Kazakhstan know Russian, during the meeting in New York they spoke to each other in English. Tokayev also once again supported the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. Kazakhstan, by the way, is one of Russia's main allies, and Russia has also declared its intention to invade Kazakhstan.

This girl lived in Donetsk. She was forced to move to Avdiivka when Russia invaded, but then Russia brought war there too. After that, she moved to Pokrovsk, but Russia came there as well. At that point, she decided not to run anymore but to start fighting against the Russian occupiers. Now her call sign is Fors, and she defends Ukraine from the rashists in the “Khartia” battalion.

🇷🇺 The true face of the Russian regime A group of schoolchildren told their teacher they were against the war. She reported them to the police. The kids were sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison — for nothing more than opposing the war. This is not a dystopian novel. This is Russia — today. Shame on people like this teacher. And shame on every Russian who stays silent, supports this system, or plays along as an accomplice. #Russia #Russian #RussiaIsATerroristState @POTUS

🇷🇺 Russia changes tactics: last night, Tu-95MS strategic bombers launched missiles from the Ukrainka airbase for the first time Yes, you read that right — Ukrainka (literally "Ukrainian woman") is the name of a Russian airbase… located almost on the Japanese border. That’s how far Moscow is now forced to send its aircraft — nearly 6000 km across Russia — just to launch missiles at Ukraine. According to defense monitors, these bombers took off from the "Ukrainka" base in the Far East, flew all the way to Saratov region to reach missile launch positions, and were refueled mid-air by an Il-78M tanker from the Dyagilevo base. So let’s break this down. Russia: – hides its strategic bombers in Asia; – uses a base named after a Ukrainian woman to strike at Ukrainians; – and now launches attacks from distances suggesting they’re more afraid of Ukrainian retaliation than ever before. This is not power — this is fear in action. When your "superpower" has to launch missiles from the edge of Japan to feel safe from Ukraine, you're not winning. You're running.

The Soviet coat of arms has already been replaced with a Ukrainian coat of arms on the Batkivshchyna-Maty monument in Kyiv.

Scholz surprises again... The German government will not tolerate any "freezing of the conflict" in Ukraine, as this will only legitimize the Russian "aggression raid", - Scholz Also, according to him, the leadership of the Russian Federation still has plans to "absorb" Ukraine. There are similar plans for Belarus.

Reaction to the "Fuck You Putin" T-shirt in Poland 😜

🪓 “We are witnessing Russia’s final years” — ex-president Yushchenko on Putin’s fatal miscalculation In a powerful statement, Ukraine’s third president Viktor Yushchenko declared that Russia under Putin is approaching its own collapse — and that history is already in motion. 💬 “Putin is leading Russia to its disintegration — and a rapid one. We are witnessing the final years of Russia’s existence in its current form.” Yushchenko added that Putin has misjudged both Ukraine and Russia, and those errors will have irreversible consequences. 📌 Why does this matter? Because while Putin imagines himself restoring an empire, he’s actually doing what empires always do in their final act: • Waging unwinnable wars • Crushing dissent • Devouring resources • And betting everything on lies that fewer and fewer people believe The Soviet Union also looked “stable” — right before it wasn’t. And this time, it won’t take decades. It’s already unraveling. You don’t need to believe in Ukraine’s strength. Just watch Russia fall apart under the weight of its own delusions.

We are Ukrianians!

🛫🇮🇱 Netanyahu just flew to Greece — in case Iran strikes. 🇺🇦 Zelensky stays in Kyiv — while Russia strikes every single night. Iran is weaker than Russia. Israel has air defense. Ukraine has neither — and still, its president stays.

🇭🇺⚡️ “If elected in 2026, I will end Hungary’s international isolation caused by Orbán,” — declared Péter Magyar, leader of Hungary’s opposition party TISZA, addressing a massive crowd in Budapest. “Hungary will once again be a proud and reliable ally,” he promised — drawing a clear line between the pro-Russian stance of Viktor Orbán and a potential return to European solidarity. 📊 According to recent polls, TISZA is currently leading ahead of Orbán’s ruling Fidesz party, signaling a political shift that could reshape Hungary’s foreign policy. ❤️ Notably, a poll conducted by Magyar’s team shows that 58.18% of over 1.1 million respondents support Ukraine’s accession to the European Union — a sharp contrast to the Kremlin-friendly rhetoric we’ve seen from Hungary’s current leadership. If Orbán is Putin’s man in the EU, Magyar may soon become the one who slams that door shut.

🇩🇪 Pistorius couldn’t stay silent. He scrapped his pre-written speech on the spot because he couldn’t ignore what Vance had said. And the response? A 30-second standing ovation—a stark contrast to the reaction to the U.S. Vice President's speech. 💬 Pistorius made it clear: democracy in Europe is not up for debate, and no one—not even Washington—has the right to question it. His message was strong: Europe needs a leader, and Germany can step up. If anyone thinks the EU will blindly follow U.S. directives at the expense of its own interests, they are gravely mistaken. 📌 And here’s the real question: Is Germany ready to take on this responsibility? With Scholz struggling to establish leadership, Pistorius has a real chance to replace him—and perhaps that would be for the best. Unlike Scholz, Pistorius has already shown he can lead.

When living in stressful situations, it is vital to have fun.

🇩🇪 Germany is no longer blocking Ukraine’s NATO membership. Now there's only one major country left that opposes Ukraine in NATO — the United States. Today, the coalition agreement of Germany’s incoming government was made public. Here are the key points regarding Ukraine : 🔹 Ukraine’s sovereignty and democratic future is defined as “central to Germany’s security.” 🔹 Berlin will significantly increase and prolong its military, humanitarian and political support. 🔹 Germany pledges to support Ukraine “as long as it takes.” 🔹 The government aims to ensure a “just and lasting peace,” with Ukraine negotiating from a position of strength. 🔹 Germany will participate in rebuilding Ukraine. 🔹 It will explore ways to use frozen Russian assets to fund Ukrainian defense and reconstruction. 🔹 ❗️Germany supports Ukraine’s path to NATO membership. 🔹 EU membership for Ukraine is officially supported as a strategic interest for both Ukraine and Germany. 🔹 Germany backs the creation of a special tribunal to prosecute Russia’s crime of aggression. 🧩 The NATO point is crucial. For years, Berlin and Washington were the two main obstacles on Ukraine’s path to NATO. Now, it’s just Washington. So let’s be clear: with the current U.S. administration, NATO membership remains only a theoretical possibility. But this shift in Berlin is historic — and a warning shot. America is the last one holding the door shut. They have already betrayed the security guarantees given to Ukraine once, and this time they don't even want to give security guarantees and, in fact, are opening the door to World War III. The Biden administration did this, the Trump administration is doing this. #Ukraine #NATO @NATO

🧠 “They have no idea” — The West is blind to war 🇩🇪 “I met with several U.S. senators… They clearly have no idea what's going on with Russia’s rearmament,” said Friedrich Merz after his visit to Capitol Hill. According to Reuters, Russia has been running its military factories 24/7 since 2022, signing weapons deals with North Korea and Iran — and yet top U.S. lawmakers are blissfully unaware. ❗️This isn’t just negligence. This is strategic blindness. While the Kremlin prepares for a long war, the West prepares Trump for photo ops. While Russia shifts to wartime economy, American senators can't even grasp the scale of the threat. Merz is now the third European leader to personally plead with Trump not to abandon Ukraine. That’s not diplomacy — it’s desperation. The world should not be begging America to stay loyal to democracy. 📌 Ukraine is holding the line not just for itself. But we can’t stop a war machine while your politicians are living in fantasy land.

🇰🇵➡️🇷🇺 North Korea saved Putin from losing the war. A Reuters investigation has revealed that for nearly 20 months, millions of North Korean artillery shells were funneled into the Russian frontlines in Ukraine. In many areas, the majority of shells fired by Russian forces in the past year were made in the DPRK. And it wasn’t just shells. By the end of 2023, Russia began launching North Korean ballistic missiles at Ukrainian cities. One such strike, on central Kharkiv on January 2, 2024, left devastation so extreme that a Reuters reporter described it as unlike anything he had seen before. According to Hugh Griffiths, former UN coordinator monitoring sanctions on North Korea: “North Korean artillery shells are a strategic imperative. Without them, Putin would have lost his war in Ukraine. Russia simply doesn’t have the industrial capacity to produce the ammunition it needs. It depends on North Korea.” 🧨 While the West debates “not escalating,” North Korea arms a nuclear-armed terrorist state. 🛑 This isn’t about “Ukraine vs. Russia” anymore — it’s a global alliance of tyranny versus democracy.

🕯️ “We cannot give away our territories. They belong to the Ukrainian people.” – President Zelensky, speaking from the site of Russia’s latest deadly strike in Kyiv Standing among the rubble, Zelensky made one thing clear: “Ukraine will never recognize the temporarily occupied territories as part of Russia.” 🛑 No matter what deal is on the table. 🛑 No matter how much pressure comes from the West. 🛑 No matter how many bombs fall from the sky. Zelensky added: “We don’t currently have enough weapons to retake Crimea. But we’re open to diplomacy — only after a full ceasefire.” And when it comes to security guarantees, Ukraine is not asking for vague promises: “Security guarantees must mean actual forces and a format like NATO’s Article 5.” Not empty words. Not future handshakes. But real, ironclad protection. 📢 Let the world hear this: Ukraine is not refusing peace. It’s refusing to let terror rewrite borders. Because giving land to Russia doesn't end the war. It simply makes the next one easier to start.

🇮🇹🧠 Italy’s Secret Weapon: Giorgia Meloni’s Italian Leaves Trump Speechless Who knew that in a room full of men who think they're the smartest — a woman speaking fluent Italian would be the actual power move? During a recent exchange, Italian PM Giorgia Meloni firmly blamed Putin and Russia for the war in Ukraine — a direct contradiction to Trump’s earlier implication that Zelensky and Biden were to blame for provoking the invasion. Trump’s reaction? “That was so beautiful! What the hell did you just say?” Yes, the self-proclaimed dealmaker was utterly disarmed — not by arguments, but by Italian charm. Meanwhile, Trump’s VP, J.D. Vance, also melted under Meloni’s Mediterranean magnetism. On a visit to Rome, he called the talks “fantastic” and joked: “She could’ve called me a moron and I wouldn’t know — it sounded so beautiful.” This, from a man who just last week wanted Ukraine to surrender territory to Russia. While Trump cold-shouldered leaders like Ursula von der Leyen and lectured Zelensky in the Oval Office, he couldn’t stop gushing over Meloni: “Everybody loves her and respects her. She’s taken Europe by storm.” So here we are — world diplomacy reduced to: flirt with the dictator, bow to the beauty, bomb the truth.

🇺🇸 “No Weapons for Ukraine Because of the Ban on the Moscow Patriarchate,” — says Republican Anna Paulina Luna. I’m genuinely shocked. People like this really exist? Let’s get something straight: the Moscow Patriarchate is not a religious organization — it’s a project of the FSB. They don’t pray to God — they preach sermons glorifying Putin, calling on people to fund the Russian military and submit to Russia. In Ukraine, they banned the Ukrainian language, inspected believers at church entrances, and yes — they paint icons of Putin and Stalin, bless missiles named "Satan", and justify genocides as “holy acts.” 📌 The Moscow Patriarchate was created by Stalin's USSR during a time of violent repression of real Christianity. It was never about God. It was — and still is — about control, propaganda, and espionage. Ask any country where it operates. Denying weapons to Ukraine because we’re shutting down a Kremlin-controlled spy network disguised as a church? That’s not “protecting religious freedom” — that’s aiding Russia’s war effort. And just for the record: religious freedom does not mean letting foreign intelligence agencies operate under the cover of faith. I think that this thesis is already grounds for opening a criminal case, because in fact she recognized herself as an FSB agent and said that Trump is also an FSB agent.

And they noticed the raffle only when the blogger pulled out a cup with a Ukrainian flag 😀

Ukraine is protected by very talented people

Nataliya Boyko, a Lviv woman, died at the front Natalia voluntarily joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on July 28, 2023 as part of the A1619 military unit. Served in the 59th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade named after Yakov Handziuk. All the time she served in the Pokrovsky direction. She actively volunteered since 2022 and continued to announce meetings for the military even after her mobilization.

🕊️🇺🇦 A stork landed on a car in Lviv — and while that might sound like a random moment, in Ukraine, it’s anything but. The stork is more than just a bird for us. It’s a national symbol — of loyalty, happiness, prosperity, and even the soul of the homeland. Ukrainians deeply revere these birds. If a stork chooses to nest on your house, it’s believed to bring blessing and protection. So when one touched down in the heart of Lviv today, it felt like a quiet sign: Ukraine is still alive. Still sacred. Still watched over.

🤡 Lavrov is outraged that signs in Uzbekistan are not in Russian. Yes, really. Russia’s foreign minister is offended that an independent country isn’t putting colonial language plaques on its own monuments. 🇺🇿 Uzbekistan clapped back: “When a country with a history of colonialism makes such demands, it’s not about language — it’s a veiled threat of occupation and a sign of deep disrespect.” “Every country has the right to choose its own official languages. Foreign ministers don’t get to dictate that.” But of course — Russia responded by accusing Uzbekistan of: ⚠️ “Attacking the Russian language” ⚠️ “Discriminating against Russian speakers” ⚠️ Being “hostile” for teaching kids English and German instead of Russian So to be clear: 📢 Russia isn’t worried about language. It’s worried about losing control. Because every new sign in Uzbek, every lesson in English, is a funeral bell for Moscow’s imperial fantasy. #Russia #RussiaIsANaziState #Uzbekistan

Maryana Chechelyuk, a policewoman from Mariupol, was released from captivity. The Russians held it for more than two years On March 25, 2022, Maryana and her sister escaped in the Azovstal warehouses during another shelling, while their parents did not make it and stayed on the other side of the plant - near the bread factory. There was no communication since the beginning of March, so they could not call Maryana and Alina. When the evacuation of civilians from Azovstal began, representatives of the UN and the Red Cross promised to take Maryana and Alina to Zaporizhzhia, but instead they were taken to the village of Bezimenne for filtering. The family managed to free the youngest daughter. Maryana was promised to be returned in two days, then in a week, and later the Russians began to deny the fact that they were holding her. According to her mother, Maryana experienced a lot of torture in captivity - she was starved, beaten, and abused in other ways. Due to the conditions of captivity, the girl's health worsened: respiratory tract diseases and tonsillitis turned into chronic bronchitis. "Maryana lost a lot of weight, her immunity weakened, her hair began to fall out, her periods disappeared," her mother said about the girl's condition.

This is how Ukrainians greet fallen heroes. Keep in mind that we don't have such a rule. Our people themselves started doing this back in 2014. P.S. By the way, right now (9 a.m. Ukrainian time) all of Ukraine is stopping for 1 minute to honor all the victims of Russian aggression.

It is surprising that the world has shown reluctance to put Putin in his place after three years of full-scale war, – Zelensky. I am also deeply troubled by how deceitful and hypocritical the world is. Proclaiming certain values, yet blatantly ignoring them. Saying "Never again," while allowing a new communist-Nazi regime to commit the same atrocities. Promising security guarantees, yet doing absolutely nothing. And now, the world wants to forgive this new Hitler, overlook all his crimes, and even reward him with occupied territories! This is outrageous!

He’s not a politician. Not a general. Not a prime minister. But he found the time, the courage, and the heart to come where others are too scared. Prince Harry showed more manhood than some of those suited-up "peacemakers". Thank you for your humanity.

🧠 "Even if Putin dies — nothing will change in Russia," – Budanov The head of Ukraine’s Intelligence Directorate, Kyrylo Budanov, stated that Russia is a resilient authoritarian system capable of functioning even after Putin’s death. The power structure is not dependent on a single man, but on a well-built ideological and institutional machine. “They’ve built the system in such a way that the next successor will at least remain within the same paradigm. That’s the bare minimum,” – Budanov said. And this is precisely the problem. Putin is not the disease — he’s just a symptom. The real virus is a nation that cheers when children are killed, towns are bombed, and war crimes are livestreamed. People still imagine that removing Putin would magically ‘fix’ Russia. But let's be honest: who tortures Ukrainian POWs? Who launches drones at maternity hospitals? Who films the executions and shares them proudly? Not Putin — it’s ordinary Russians. If anything, Putin is one of the more "rational" representatives of his nation. That should terrify you.

Ukrainian military before the last battle. They know that they are surrounded, they know that there are very few of them, but they are still preparing to give the last fight... English subtitles.

Kharkiv sings a patriotic song about Ukraine, which, incidentally, was the anthem of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army

🇵🇱 “Ukraine must join NATO — it’s a matter of Poland’s security, not political sympathy,” says Prime Minister Donald Tusk. In a pointed statement, Tusk accused the PiS party of a stunning overnight shift: 🗣 “Just yesterday, they supported Ukraine’s NATO bid. Today, they back a candidate who opposes it outright.” He’s referring to Karol Nawrocki, the presidential hopeful backed by PiS, who has pledged support for a declaration by Sławomir Mentzen — leader of the far-right Confederation party — that includes blocking Ukraine’s accession to NATO. This isn’t just a campaign talking point. It’s a geopolitical gamble. Poland’s own freedom is tied to Ukraine’s defense. If Ukraine falls, Russia doesn’t stop at the Dnipro. History makes that clear — ask the Baltics, ask Finland, ask Poland in 1939. Supporting Ukraine in NATO isn’t charity. It’s self-preservation. Anything less is siding with the next invasion.

🕯️ “I Thought They’d Never Dig Me Out” — A Survivor Speaks from the Rubble of Dnipro “I couldn’t understand how much concrete was above me,” said Yaroslava, a young woman who survived a Russian strike on Dnipro. “I thought they’d never dig me out. I was running with my phone… and then the phone was gone. I couldn’t move.” Her father and brother were also inside when the missile hit. Both were injured. Their apartment — gone. Nothing left but air, dust, and silence. Imagine: you brew coffee in the morning, your children laugh on swings in the yard. And then — a whistle. An explosion. And silence. Not in a movie. In reality. Every day. For Ukrainians — even in the rear, like Dnipro or even NATO-bordering Lviv, Lutsk, Ivano-Frankivsk. Russians strike residential buildings, civilians, schools. Children who are simply playing. They want us to surrender. For fear to break us like concrete. But who will we become if we surrender to terrorists? Shadows? Slaves who never chose their fate, like our northern and eastern neighbors? No. Better to die fighting for freedom than to live on our knees. Because freedom is a constant choice, it is a continual possibility to live as we want. We cannot now and therefore we suffer, we want the war to end — but the loss of freedom is even worse than war. That is why we fight. Foreigners, do you hear? Your peace is our dream. Value what you have! Do not turn everyday little inconveniences — which have no value in the long term — into problems or suffering. We must defeat Russia not at the negotiating table, but on the battlefield. Otherwise tomorrow the sirens will sound for you too. Help us win this war. Because Ukraine’s victory is the world’s victory over terror.

We must save the world!

The true size of Ukraine compared to other countries

📰 Zelensky’s attempt to win over Trump has failed — Wall Street Journal Despite offering Trump what he wanted — a temporary ceasefire, a U.S.-friendly mining deal, and a high-stakes peace visit to Turkey — President Zelensky has reportedly received nothing in return.

If Ukraine can respond symmetrically - what will happen to the Russian Federation? That's why they are so terrified...
