Telling the truth about my beautiful country Ukraine. Subjective, emotional but honest.

🚨🇺🇸 According to The New York Times, a $25 billion Alaska gas project discussed in U.S.-Russia talks had alleged secret Russian financing and involved people connected to Trump’s circle. But if you look at the behavior of the White House from this perspective, the questions become even bigger.

🔥🇺🇦 For the second month in a row, Russia is losing ground while Ukraine keeps regaining its territory. Recent battlefield assessments show Ukrainian forces recovering territory as Russia’s advances slow dramatically. #StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsCollapsing #MakeRussiaSmallAgain #Ukraine

🔥🇺🇦 Ukrainian drones and Ukrainian-made missiles hit chemical plants, an optoelectronics factory, logistics hubs and data centers, while flights were cancelled in Moscow and blackouts reached Russian regions. And this is the important change: Ukraine can answer now.

🚨 Please understand: there is no real peace deal here. There is a business deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin – and Ukraine is being pressured to surrender so those deals can happen.

🔥 For almost five years, Putin has tried to break Ukraine. Now it feels like betrayal is coming from Washington too. But they still don’t understand us. They judge everything by money and power – and forget about love, dignity, loyalty, and the simple human instinct to stand against injustice.

🚨🇺🇸 Putin has just publicly humiliated Trump after the American president spent the week trying to satisfy the Kremlin. He clearly hoped Putin would respond with at least an imitation of progress toward peace. Instead, after meeting Witkoff, Moscow offered no meaningful compromise.

🚨🇺🇦 Why is Donald Trump helping Putin so openly? Maybe he is compromised. Maybe he was bribed. But I have another explanation: both Trump and Putin are losing — and they are desperately trying to save each other.

🚨In less than a week, Trump moved to ease pressure on Russia, intelligence warnings to Ukraine were disrupted, and Starshield – which Ukraine paid for – was slowed for defensive operations. And when journalists ask who made these decisions, Trump, Rubio and Musk keep pointing elsewhere.

🔥 Putin promised to make Russia safer. Almost five years into his failed “three-day operation,” his hometown is on fire. 🇺🇦 Ukraine hit an oil export terminal, a data center, an electrical substation, an Ozon logistics hub – and a bridge in St. Petersburg.

✈️🔥 22 major Russian airports closed. Almost 1,000 flights cancelled and thousands more delayed – in just one day. And a lot of angry, frustrated Russians are now feeling this war much more directly on their own territory.

✈️🔥 Minus six Russian Su-34 bombers in one day. That means fewer aircraft available to drop guided bombs on Ukrainian cities — and potentially many innocent lives saved. 🇺🇦 And the best part? Ukraine did it with our own Neptune missiles.

🌐 The Kremlin spent years building its idea of a “sovereign internet,” centralizing services and tightening control. Now, one by one, Russia’s data centers are being hit – and when such a centralized system loses key infrastructure, there are very few alternatives ready to replace it.

🤖🔥 Something strange happened after Ukrainian strikes hit major Yandex data centers in Russia. People in different countries started saying the same thing: bots that had terrorized their comment sections for years suddenly disappeared. Automated traffic originating from Yandex’s network fell 94%.

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy called sanctions relief for Russia a gift to Putin, while several U.S. lawmakers – Democrats and Republicans – have also criticized the agreement. The initial volumes will not “save” the American diesel market. But politically and strategically, the concession matters enormously.

And then I saw a brutally dark meme on X: An American at the gas station: “Why is this diesel slightly red?” “Never mind. There’s just a little Ukrainian blood in it.” 🇺🇸 Let your representatives know what you think. 🫂 Drop some virtual hugs for Ukraine below.

✈️🇺🇦 For hours, aircraft from Putin’s delegation could not land normally in Moscow as Ukrainian drone threats shut the Russian capital’s airspace. One plane reportedly carrying Putin from Turkmenistan was diverted to St. Petersburg before continuing to Moscow. (RBC-Ukraine)

💻 The Kremlin keeps switching off the internet for Russians. This time, Ukraine helped with the job. The strike forced the Yandex facility to suspend operations and disrupted a number of Russian online services.

🔥🇺🇦 Russia’s largest oil transportation hub is burning for the second time in a week. Ukrainian drones reportedly struck the Transneft facility in Samara again – some fireworks for Putin’s 74th birthday. 💥 Ukraine long-range strikes have disabled more than 51% of Russia’s oil-refining capacity.

🚁 According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, 9,994 drones flew toward Moscow and the Moscow region between September 1 and October 5. ⛽ Last night, drones reportedly struck the Volodarskaya fuel storage and distribution hub, the largest facility of its kind in the Moscow region.

🔥🇷🇺 Protests are getting more interesting across Russia. In Moscow, around 60 people were detained after demonstrators shouted “Down with the Tsar!”. Reports say rallies for fair elections were held in Syktyvkar, Tyumen and Tobolsk.

🚨 Never in my life did I imagine Russian communists would sound like freedom protesters. But in Moscow, around 60 people were detained after a Communist Party rally where they chanted “Down with the Tsar,” “Fair elections,” “Freedom for political prisoners,” and “Down with Roskomnadzor.”
