Try oat milk, at least in coffee. Even people who otherwise have nothing against cow milk tend to say that oat milk is better in coffee than cow milk is. I've met only some who think cow milk suits coffee better. In my opinion oat milk is also better in cereals and porridge, but that's something people often disagree upon :)

That's obvious, but there's not much the Crimeans could do to influence Putin. How would they have done that?

There is a log in button that is very difficult to notice on the opening page of Voyager. It's easy to accidentally press "Create a new account" on that screen instead of the login button everybody is looking for.

Try again and you'll be able to sign in. You just have not been noticing the button for that :)

There is a workaround used by Element and Telegram FOSS. They have notifications without using Android's standard notification system.

True! Then the company that no longer sells fuel to USA will make less profit when selling fuel to USA! What a punishment!

the Russia has been steadily and slowly gaining territory over the last year with a speed of 0.7 % of Ukraine's territory per year. Which is not strategically relevant. Strategically seen, the Russia has not advanced.

I don't really see China starting to actively cover the Russian budget. That would jeopardize China's trade with Europe.

The Russia's strategy has been to outlast Ukraine's supporters will to support Ukraine. That will never happen, unless the voices making the fake claims about time being on the Russia's side are given too much space. Helping Ukraine is so much cheaper than the costs that incur if the Russia takes over Ukraine that there is no logical reason for the EU to end Ukraine's support ever. Even if some countries were to withdraw their support, enough will retain it to keep Ukraine's head over water.

The Russian economy will collapse, sooner or later.

Absolutely!

But of course the US leadership understood that this is a consequence of asking EU to refrain from doing that kind of stuff. Would still have been better for USA if Europe would have done much more, so the demands make sense. And I agree that more should have been done!

Marco Rubio is in Trump's administration. Nothing that comes from there should be assumed true.

They are not running out of Ukrainians. They will have enough of them for another 1300 years with this pace of losses. Also the Russia isn't running out of Russians for several centuries at this pace.

What is happening, however, is that the Russia is losing soldiers faster than it can recruit new ones.

From Ukraine reclaiming their territory starting probably around summer 2026 or late winter 2026. The Russia won't be able to stop that if they don't have troops.

Regarding how the Ukrainian army is doing... That's a broad question. But, put shortly: they have managed to mostly hold back a Russian invasion for 11 years now. Especially the last 3 years it has been faring far over expectations. If you haven't heard of it, here's a wikipedia article about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russo-Ukrainian_War . It's high time you get acquainted with this theme now in 2025!

They were indeed about to launch a counter offensive and indeed did. In 2023. They did not get almost any of the equipment the west had promised to supply for bringing the offence plans to reality, so the counter offensive got botched. In 2024 there was no talk of a counter offensive. Remember that the last two quarters of 2024 Ukraine got zero military help from USA.

You're mixing up the years.

Also, the several different claims about different cancers were guessed by different people.

No national stereotypes apply to every single individual from that nation. They are rather about statistical likelihoods. In the Russia people are much more likely to be lazy and socially reckless and say "I am not political" as if it was something to be proud of. And also, it shows a lot that they even feel safe to say so. In Finland people typically have mindset, where saying "I stay away from political conversations" would be very shameful. People would not feel socially safe saying that here. In the Russia it is not shameful. And that feature is one of the things that make "a Russian mindset" a useful concept for use in conversations. There are other features typical to people living in the Russia and atypical for others, not only this one thing.

Ukraine's losses as dead are lower in proportion to population than those of the Russia. As dead+wounded they are higher, but that's relevant for the army, not so much for the nation. The severely wounded typically need a prosthesis, but will stay in the lives of their children.

Add to this that Ukraine is the defending party in the war, so they would be able to incur even higher losses without breaking than the aggressor has to bear with.

If you mean civilian casualties... Most of those are in the occupied territories. The terror attacks do kill people, but that is statistically insignificant. The Russia has been able to kill only a fraction of a percent of Ukraine's civilian population. That is not something that has any effect on the war's outcome. The terror attacks against civilians might have some strategic function in Putin's head, and it does have an effect by reducing western countries' willingness to support Ukraine, but in Ukraine itself it has no real effect and seems to be happening "just for fun" (as macabre as that sounds).

The Russia's army is in much deeper trouble with manpower than that of Ukraine, and civilian population is statistically not in any immediate danger in either country.

(And I do believe I understand quite okay how the Russian mind works because when I lived in Ukraine, I learned both Russian and Ukrainian languages reasonably well, and can therefore follow their sources in original language)
