A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"Guided by humanitarian considerations, today from 18:00 00:00 from Sunday to Monday, the Russian side declares an Easter truce. I order that all military actions be stopped for this period."
Fuck this guy and his 'humanitarian considerations' 3 years after invading his neighour, killing its people and stealing its childen - he finally deigns to give a whole 2 days reprieve (likely to be broken) because he's finally felt a teeney bit of pressure from t'old Donald.
He used "humanitarian truces" to trick and kill Ukrainians before.
The only reason why he does it is because he sees it as an occasion to gain an advantage somehow.
No-one can ever trust Putin ever again.
translation: "don't shoot! we need to resupply"
Translation: “we’re dangerously low on supplies in a bunch of areas and we need to rush some logistics in without Ukraine blowing them up”
I genuinely do hope Zelenskyy completely ignores this unilaterally-declared truce
I’m sure they have ammo, it’s just an attempt to look humane. Posturing. Breaks are a good thing though, and as long as they don’t use that opportunity to resupply or gain territory as you have suggested, which I agree would be the likely outcome if accepted.
Narrator: "They didn't stop the hostilities. In fact, they started a major offensive."
How many hours until Russia blame Ukraine for breaking the truce without providing any proof?
Reportedly they are already attacking Kherson and elsewhere.
Yup, that was quick. Could've guessed it was a sham.
Guess we’re skipping Easter this year. Fuck that guy.
lmao april 1st was a few days ago now putin
Pascha is next weekend though...
Hopefully this is some progress towards peace talks.
