Russia can't even defend an island against a country with no navy.

LOL! They don't need a navy with all those missiles. Russia decided they got what they wanted and no use sticking around to get shelled every day. However, one might surmise they hope the Ukes re-occupy so they can shell them every day. So far, no takers, nobody wants missile magnet island any more.

Diplomatic talks have been initiated between Russia and the US! I’m seeing it widely reported in Russian media but not so much in American media. Direct talks began between US and Russian Governments today, July 29, 2022.
this is a war between the US and Russia

Isn't that about just a prisoner swap?

It makes sense that it's the US and Russia talking, because this is a war between the US and Russia. Ukraine has no say in it.
Then I had a confrontation with an old man that looked like he just walked out of his 60th Comic-Con who believes Azov are heroes and that "they need jetplanes." It's one of the few times in my life I called someone "a stupid cunt" in public in my life. I should be ashamed but frankly when people are dying in fear needlessly in a warzone while others are living in luxury fighting for the continuation of the conflict instead of calling for peace, I get mad.
And that was my uninformative rant.
The Zelenskys’ Vogue publicity misfire
Is an Annie Leibovitz shoot the best way to appeal to Middle America’s sympathies? ...
Nowadays it’s all too common to see political leaders featured in the pages of magazines. (Leibovitz’s Vogue cover shoot for Beto O’Rourke, for example, proved fatal for his presidential prospects.) What is far more irregular is seeing a nation’s leader posing and chatting with an American fashion magazine as his country is in the middle of a full-fledged war. ...
In a piece ostensibly about a first lady in wartime, do we really need to learn about her “ecru silk blouse with a black velvet bow tied around the neck and a black mid-calf skirt, her ash-blond hair swept up in a loose bun”? Even Donadio acknowledged the bizarreness: “It is strange to talk about Ukrainian extermination and Ukrainian fashion in the same conversation...
When most Americans think of Vogue, they think of the celebrities dressing like clowns at the annual Met Gala, and thick magazines full of progressive thinkpieces, and ads for expensive face creams. Perhaps the unserious American will see that the president of Ukraine is posing in Vogue and deduce that things can’t be as dire as they were before if the first couple has time for fashion photoshoots.
Yes, if you can't "small business" w/o government handouts maybe you shouldn't be in that business.
Ukraine claims it needs $750 billion more to ‘Build Back Better’

Apparently Amnesty International is accusing Ukraine
kyiv, ukraine —
Amnesty International on Monday accused Russia of war crimes in Ukraine, saying attacks on Kharkiv, many using banned cluster bombs, had killed hundreds of civilians.
"The repeated bombardments of residential neighborhoods in Kharkiv are indiscriminate attacks which killed and injured hundreds of civilians, and as such constitute war crimes," the rights group said in a report on Ukraine's second-largest city.
"This is true both for the strikes carried out using cluster (munitions) as well as those conducted using other types of unguided rockets and unguided artillery shells," it said.
"The continued use of such inaccurate explosive weapons in populated civilian areas, in the knowledge that they are repeatedly causing large numbers of civilian casualties, may even amount to directing attacks against the civilian population."
Bombs and land mines
Amnesty said it had uncovered proof in Kharkiv of the repeated use by Russian forces of 9N210 and 9N235 cluster bombs and scatterable land mines, all of which are banned under international conventions.
Cluster bombs release dozens of bomblets or grenades in mid-air, scattering them indiscriminately over hundreds of square meters (yards).
Scatterable land mines combine "the worst possible attributes of cluster munitions and antipersonnel land mines," Amnesty said.
Unguided artillery shells have a margin of error of over 100 meters.
The report, entitled "Anyone Can Die At Any Time," details how Russian forces began targeting civilian areas of Kharkiv on the first day of the invasion on February 24.
The "relentless" shelling continued for two months, wreaking "wholesale destruction" on the city of 1.5 million.
"People have been killed in their homes and in the streets, in playgrounds and in cemeteries, while queueing for humanitarian aid, or shopping for food and medicine," said Donatella Rovera, Amnesty International's senior crisis response adviser.
"The repeated use of widely banned cluster munitions is shocking, and a further indication of utter disregard for civilian lives.
"The Russian forces responsible for these horrific attacks must be held accountable."
I'm sure you do, now that you've pulled news from the same government propaganda outlets
Actor Volodymyr Zelensky stormed to the Ukrainian presidency in 2019 on a wave of public anger against the country’s political class, including previous leaders who used secret companies to stash their wealth overseas.
Now, leaked documents prove that Zelensky and his inner circle have had their own network of offshore companies. Two belonging to the president’s partners were used to buy expensive property in London. ...
The documents also show that just before he was elected, he gifted his stake in a key offshore company, the British Virgin Islands-registered Maltex Multicapital Corp., to his business partner — soon to be his top presidential aide. And in spite of giving up his shares, the documents show that an arrangement was soon made that would allow the offshore to keep paying dividends to a company that now belongs to his wife.
Three Large American Multinationals Bought 17 Million Hectares of Ukrainian Agricultural Land
By LauraAboli
Three large American multinationals bought 17 million hectares of Ukrainian agricultural land.
These are Cargill, Dupont and Monsanto (which is officially German-Australian but with American capital). Five percent of Ukrainian agricultural land was subsequently purchased by the Chinese state. For comparison, the whole of Italy has 16.7 million hectares of agricultural land.
In short, three American companies bought more useful agricultural land in Ukraine than the whole of Italy.
Among the main shareholders of these three companies are Vanguard, Blackrock, Blackstone.
