"We should (have) some sympathy for the poor Russian conscripts too. Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes." For anyone watching and understanding Ukraine's years-long struggle for survival, the words of SpaceX founder Elon Musk ring with deep moral bankruptcy.

“The border with Russia should look like this: a moat, acid, barbed wire, a fence, a minefield, and absolutely no border crossings.” — Ukrainian journalist and serviceman Kyrylo Sazonov Sazonov praised Finland for taking the right approach to its border with Russia. 📹 youtube.com/@Donetskiecom

The "poor Russian conscripts" are actually, in the overwhelming majority, not conscripts at all, but people who go to war to murder Ukrainians for money. ​"They have no choice" - what bullshit. Going to jail instead of bombing a playground full of children is a choice. Emigration is a choice.

Omsk is on fire! 🔥 ​A Russian city 3,000 kilometers away from Ukraine is under attack again. Something that was unthinkable only a year ago is a repeating reality now. ​The Omsk Caoutchouc (Synthetic Rubber) plant is on fire. The local Ozon warehouse is reportedly too.

❗️In Lithuania, the jet-powered interceptor drone X-12 was unveiled for destroying high-speed aerial targets, including Russian Geran-5 drones. The aircraft, equipped with a turbojet engine, can reach up to 700 km/h (cruise speed about 350 km/h),

🇺🇦 Zelensky: I don't play games with Trump. This is my difference between me and Putin. I don't play any games with him. I'm direct, honest. That's it. I'm a normal person. I'm just human. Maybe not such a big humanitarian as Putin. But in any way, I try my best, really.

🇺🇦 Ours are home! 🇺🇦

Seven documents have been signed, the total volume of today's agreements is 300 million euros.   We agreed that we will use more Finnish satellite capabilities. This is important for our defense, for the stability of Ukraine. We agreed on this with Nokia and ICEYE.

I’m sitting and working, and Solomiya is playing with her dolls beside me. Then suddenly, an explosion. I panic and shout, “Quick, run to the hallway.” She immediately starts running. I’m terrified. She’s terrified. My hands are shaking, and Solomiya is breathing heavily. We’re both so frightened.

⚡️️️️ EU responds to Trump diesel deal with new Russia energy sanctions. A key focus of the latest proposed sanctions listings is Russia's oil processing, refining, and exporting capacity, with 31 listings spanning the breadth of Russia, from St. Petersburg to Sakhalin.

🇺🇦🇺🇦BREAKING: Ukrainian Armed Forces have reportedly liberated 31 km² of territory in just one week!

Reports indicate that Witkoff will deliver to the Kremlin a document with several security guarantee options for Ukraine, to see what their response is. Spoiler alert: their response will be "no" along with some BS about "achieving the goals of the special military operation."

And quite frankly, when Trump is repeating every Kremlin talking point there is, it's a bit difficult to take US security guarantees seriously. We don't need another Budapest Memorandum or Minsk Agreement. We've seen where those went. RELIABLE security guarantees are essential.

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

Insteaf of a thousand words. A woman trapped under the rubble after a Russian strike is showing rescuers how old her daughter is. The little girl was killed by Russia.

“NATO DOES NOT GET IT” Caoran Robertson was interviewing a Ukrainian commander on the front lines near Kramatorsk. He asked a senior commander what did he think NATO understood about modern war? “They don’t know anything. They pretend they do, they think they do, but they haven’t got a clue. They

❗️President Zelenskyy stated that relations between Ukraine and Poland have improved, which concerns Russia. He thanked the Polish people, the prime minister, and the teams of both countries for their support of Ukraine and their work on the relationship,

🇷🇺 With visible disappointment, Trump declares that Russia would’ve won the war in one day if only all 180,000 Russian soldiers hadn’t taken a wrong turn onto a dirt road instead of a highway. The level of idiocy in this statement is off the charts. 😂

Italy’s Defense Minister Guido Crosetto says it is a “complete mistake” for the US to restrict satellite and intelligence support used by Ukraine. He warned that weakening Ukraine would convince Putin he can win and prolong the war. “I think that is completely wrong.” #Ukraine

I can keep doing this every day for years… Who's with me ? I would like every single one of you to post a photo of President Zelenskyy and hashtag it #ZelenskyyWarHero #NAFO #Smokefleet

Sweden will send Gripen fighters to Ukraine "in the near future," Zelensky said after meeting PM Ulf Kristersson. They join the F-16s with one job in mind: hunting Russia's jet-powered Shaheds. That's the right way to use a fighter.

"I envied those who had died." What Ukrainians go through in Russian captivity is horrifying. Both men and women are subjected to torture. 34-year-old Olesia Melnychenko, an Azov paramedic, shared what she endured during eight and a half months in Russian captivity in Olenivka
