I understand your annoyance. Sorry if I was too blunt. Somehow I can freely read those articles - perhaps because I rarely read The Daily Beast.

I won't stop it. The Daily Beast is readable for most people. If you have a problem with it, you can just block me. I'll be only glad if you do so.

It's Russian Christmas, which is later in the year. Most Orthodox Christian countries, including Ukraine, celebrate it earlier, on the same day as the US.

Well, Ukraine is becoming noticeably more united, self-aware and competent. And this is so much better than the previous Russian genocide, when many millions of Ukrainians starved to death and almost no one abroad even knew about it.

The puppetry is mostly a Russian template: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppet_state So that's what the Russians often say in their projections.

The U.S. relationship with its various allies is much more nuanced, and it takes some knowledge of modern international relations to understand it. Suffice it to say that, based on its model of relations, the US is not interested in simplistic political patronage. It's interested in markets and free world trade.

Thank you for your compassion. The sanctions are working, even if less than expected. I am writing this in safety thanks to Western support. Now it's Pootin's allies in the West who are circumventing the sanctions and strangling the support.

Yes, "to put paid to (something)" is a rather rare British English idiom, and I also had to look it up. Basically, it means "to stop something from happening or spoil plans for something".

There are many cats kept in the Ukrainian dugouts. However, it seems that mice have incredibly proliferated by feeding on the Ruscist corpses left out in the open. Cats are physically unable to consume them all at once.

I guess these mice feed on Ruscist corpses.

It depends. Many civilians are buried in graves with proper names. There's a lot of evidence of this - including the graves that have been dug in the courtyards of city buildings.

It's not that the Ruscists take care about them - it's fellow civilians burying their compatriots.

These are mostly graves of Ukrainian civilians - often buried together in mass graves without specifying names. So when this area will be liberated, people would need to be properly identified, so that their relatives will be able to honor their memory.
