World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Answer the question yourself, if you care so much about ukraine land and are afraid about russia why don't you go on the front lines?
A stupid though process is to believe that something is good only because you are not getting your hands dirty and others are doing it for you. Ukrainians should be allowed to do what the fuck they want, if case you aren't aware people are being drafted by force and many haven't been able to left the country for years.

Recently men beetween 18-22 were allowed to leave the border (after two years of not being able to) and many left the country.
Because my donations are worth more than my body. Answer the question, why aren't you being paid to be a mouth piece for russian propaganda? Or seeing how you spell... guessing you're sitting in russia trying to convince me and others that we should abandon Ukrainians in their fight against the ruzzians.
Yea it's called a war for your survival, they're being drafted because it's needed. Again, the majority want the war to end but the majority don't want to ceded territory. This isn't rocket science.
Ok and? People don't like war, people don't like dying...why don't you ask the questions why ruzzia is attacking Ukraine and killing civs?
Ukraine army isn't only in need of weapons and money they need bodies too, go there enlist and they will give you a mansion according to what you can do.
I live in europe not in russia and personally i've never heard of any russian organization operating here, it's most likely that a western organization/government would pay me to work for them which is something i wouldn't do even for a million dollars (no government is up to any good, right now they are spreading war propaganda and boosting military spendings)
If there's anything i would like to convince you to understand is that rulers don't give a shit about people. The government will refuse to cede any land, even if this will cost the life of a million people.
Your help is needed to fight against the evil enemy, pack your bags and hurry to the front lines.
You call me a mouth piece for russian propaganda, i call you a disgusting human being for thinking that it's right to draft people and force them to fight in a war
Again please go join the russian army you keep simping for.
You seem to be doing a great job eating and regurgitating ruzzian propaganda...
That's the dumbest fucking take ever. You're suggesting that Ukraine cede land and it'll magically make the ruzzians stop killing them. You do realize putin and ruzzia wants Ukraine to no longer exist right? They want to cleanse them from the planet.
Move to russia you troll
A war in which people are being killed whole sale via ruzzians who are wanting Ukraine to no longer exist. You can cry foul all you want but you're just proving my point. You're nothing more than a russian bot, or a naive kid who thinks the world is going to just hold hands and get along.
I've never simped for the russian army, if you believe i did because i called out conscription it sound like you are a victim of propaganda.
You're straight up using russian propaganda. You literally are saying Ukraine shouldn't be fighting against russia and give up because it's drafting citizens. Guess what happens when a country is fighting for its survival. Shit gets rocky.
On top of all that. You haven't called out once that russia has been doing even worse shit to get soldiers....tell me again how much propaganda I'm a victim of.
Go read more russia today and believe it.
