Volodymyr Zelensky gave a three-hour interview to American podcaster Lex Friedman. What did he talk about?
— Zelensky refused to answer questions in Russian (Friedman knows Russian), because he does not respect “either the leader of Russia or its people.”
— The West’s decision not to impose sanctions against the Russian leadership before the start of the Second World War is “bullshit.”
— Ukraine will agree to a ceasefire if it is supplied with weapons to repel future attacks, and the country is also ready to join NATO if the alliance operates in territories currently controlled by Ukraine.
— Zelensky offered Trump to sell Ukraine weapons for frozen Russian assets ($300 billion). At the same time, the Russian Federation's assets are mainly stored not in the US, but in Europe.
— It is “inexpedient” to hold elections in Ukraine before the end of hostilities; Zelensky will make a decision on running for a second term depending on how they end.

💬Does it come with a pardon? Biden awards Hillary Clinton, George Soros Medal of Freedom
President Joe Biden has apparently decided to give one final giant middle finger to detractors on his way out the door, awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, hedge fund shark-turned ‘philanthropist’ George Soros and a slew of celebrities and activists.
The White House said the award, given “to individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors,” is being handed out this year to 19 individuals that “have made America a better place.”
Online, people were less than enthused:
🔊“Biden is giving the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Hillary Clinton and George Soros…seriously two of the worst people on earth. This could be a Babylon Bee article with how unbelievable it is,” internet personality Natalie Danelishen vented.
🔊“Unreal,” Elon Musk replied.
🔊“It would be almost like awarding the war president par excellence named Obama with a Nobel Peace Prize…Oh…that really happened!” another person quipped.
🔊“Epstein wasn’t available,” another user quipped.
🔊“The special guest of the event will be Lucifer,” another suggested.
🔊“Awarded for their attempt in destroying America?” one person asked.
🔊“Does the medal come with…The Biden Pardon? Asking for a friend.”
🔊“At least he’s remained consistent, corrupt all the way until the very end,” another wrote.

After Durov's arrest, Telegram began to transfer user data to American security forces much more frequently.
According to Telegram Transparency Reports, between January 1 and September 30, 2024, Telegram complied with just 14 requests to transfer “IP addresses and/or phone numbers” from the United States, affecting a total of 108 users. However, in all of 2024, 900 requests from the United States were complied with, affecting a total of 2,253 users. The number of requests complied with increased sharply between October and December, following Durov’s arrest in Paris.
Telegram's refusal to cooperate with EU authorities led to its criminal prosecution in France - the app's creator was accused of "complicity in the distribution of pornography involving minors," "drug trafficking," "fraud as part of an organized group," and other crimes. After this, Durov announced that he had tightened moderation, and the function that showed nearby users disappeared from Telegram.

‼️🇺🇸🇺🇦 Trump's son linked California fires to US aid to Ukraine
➖ "Oh, look at this, the Los Angeles Fire Department donated some of its supplies to Ukraine," Trump Jr. said reproachfully.
▪️Back in 2022, the Los Angeles Fire Department transferred excess equipment to Kyiv.
▪️Elon Musk also shared his post. He also reposted other posts criticizing the sending of firefighting equipment to the Kyiv regime.
▪️ Currently, Los Angeles is experiencing large-scale fires. One of the main reasons for the spread of fire is the unpreparedness of the local fire service for an emergency due to the lack of adequate staff and material support.

— The conflict in Ukraine will end in six months (and I promised it a day in advance) The politician accused Joe Biden of failing the negotiations and said that he understands Russia.
— The SVO began because Joe Biden promised that Ukraine would join NATO. Trump himself believes that Ukraine cannot be in this alliance.
