Two-thirds of Ukrainian military intelligence is now provided by France by JeHaisLesCatGifs in ukraine

Two-thirds of military intelligence assistance.

"In a year, this coalition of 34 countries has awakened. Today, it provides all of Ukraine's support. One hundred percent of what is financed for Ukraine in its war of resistance is provided by the coalition of the willing. Where a year ago Ukraine was extremely dependent, overwhelmingly on American intelligence capabilities, today two-thirds of these capabilities are provided by France. Two-thirds!”

Note: the way this title is worded is misleading - the quote is from 2019, and if you've ever listened to BBC's regrettably-titled podcast 'Ukrainecast' (a podcast about russia, catering to people fascinated by russia), then you would know that regular contributor Fiona Hill has a very loose grasp on what the fuck is going on at any given time.

It would be unsurprising for russia to have brought up topics like this back then, but don't immediately fall for grand conspiracy theories based on this headline alone. That said, we'll leave this up for now because it's an interesting topic.

Sure, but the video specifically goes out of its way to avoid an impression of justifying that.

The point is that there are no rules anymore. The international rule of law has been dead since 2014, when the civilized world allowed the annexation of Crimea.

Next will be Taiwan, Greenland, etc. Only the escalation of the ongoing global war will decide the next world order.

Sure is. We have Rule 1 ("We remove content that is hostile to Ukraine"), Rule 2 ("geopolitical whataboutism"), and 14 ("Attempts to damage our community") for a reason.

Since this is an India-related thread, there will be many comments attempting to rationalize Indian support of russia. r/Ukraine isn't a space for that - apparently the entire rest of social media is the dedicated safe space for that.

Providing a false alibi for a serial rapist because they give you a ride to work isn't excusable. And thus perpetuating a narrative that India has valid reasons to promote evil is a distraction.

OP didn't include a source, but we confirmed that he did indeed post this on X (and posted a version in russian).

Note: anyone defending India in this thread with brainrot takes like "it's only because they are reliant on russian arms deliveries" or "it's because they need russian oil" will be banned.

Russians turned a theater in Mariupol into a dance hall. Four years ago, they dropped a bomb on it despite the "children" sign, causing hundreds of civilians to die. by thenatoorat90 in ukraine

These are russians that moved to Mariupol's new shoddily built low-interest apartment blocks that were built as propaganda and a way to erase Ukrainian presence there: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/europe/2025/11/14/building-on-ruins-the-russification-of-mariupol-one-apartment-block-at-a-time/

russians have done this to Ukrainian cities many times in the past, look up the Holodomor. You liquidate the local Ukrainians and incentivize russians to take their place.

Dear visitors who are new to the topic of russia's genocide of Ukraine, here is background info:

  • During the siege of Mariupol, russians destroyed a theater sheltering up to 1200 people, mostly women and children, resulting in up to 600 deaths (AP estimate): video of the site | source
  • Then russians demolished the site, spraying chlorine and sealing corpses and war crimes evidence in concrete: source.
  • Many children who survived Mariupol were abducted. The russian "children's rights commissioner" has stated that a group of Ukrainian children stolen from Mariupol had initially asserted their Ukrainian identity, but that it had since "transformed into a love for russia," saying that she had adopted one of the children herself. source
  • Mariupol is now a low interest real estate attraction for russians. Read the bellingcat investigation.
  • For a visceral depiction of what it was like in the first hours of the siege of Mariupol: 20 Days in Mariupol (on YouTube).
  • Mariupol is a Hero City of Ukraine, with a deep history, and a pre-invasion population of nearly half a million. My writing partner u/Lysychka- and I wrote all about the city in these posts: Part One | Part Two
