12-year-old Artem Koval died in hospital today from injuries he got when a Russian drone struck a park in Nova Vodolaha. His 8-year-old sister, Arina, was killed that day, too. Their mom, Liliia, was also injured. Deepest condolences...

Repeat after me: Russia has no legitimate security concerns; only its neighbours do. Russia has been the only one invading others.

⚡️️What Russia's doing to Ukraine is 'fine,' Trump says. "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much," Trump said, hours after a Russian drone strike in a public park killed six people, including two children.

It is, today, 115 years since navy surgeon and Antarctic explorer George Murray Levick saw his first Adélie penguin, after which he wrote several pages of notes about their sexual habits, concluded “there seems to be no crime too low for these penguins”, and saw his findings suppressed for 97 years

The other girl killed was 11 years old. My condolences to her family and friends. Another 14 people were injured, including six children. We cannot think about money with Russia while it continues its stupid war. We ask NOT to lift sanctions on Russia until the killings stop.

18 km across exposed terrain on an electric scooter — that’s how CODE 9.2 defender ‘Paramon’ reached safety after a severe injury. With enemy drones blocking evacuation, fellow soldiers delivered the scooter by UAV. He survived and plans to return to service.

How Meta is allowed to still operate abroad after all its scandels is beyond me. Cambridge Analytica. Genocide in Myanmar. Election interference in Nigeria, Phillippines, Brazil. Like X, it needs to be fined and stomped into the ground by regulators all around the world.

New — Mike Huckabee's family company is offering $5800+ trips to Israel, so tourists can meet "top Israeli officials," even while he is the Ambassador to Israel. Plus: he promised his Huck PAC would go "dormant" if he became ambassador. That didn't happen. Over the past 2 years, it's raised $4.5M.

This type of regulation should be enforced worldwide. These platforms are too powerful and owner-biased to be allowed to put their thumbs on the scale. They are all run by trump simps: Zuckerberg, Musk, Ellison

OTD in 2016 Gorbachev stated quite categorically that he never received a promise by NATO not to admit new members to the alliance. He said the idea that Russia was betrayed is a myth. Which triggers my trolls.

Russia has been at war with Britain for years and the EU referendum was an open goal which they exploited. That doesn't mean that "Putin made Brexit happen" but his troll farms and media operations certainly played a part Brexiters may hate to hear it but to deny it is to deny a dangerous reality.

Speaking at a campaign event in Syracuse, Trump throws a tantrum lasting more than 10 minutes focused on the Nobel Prize in which he lavishes praise on himself and attacks the highly qualified and respected recipient of the award. He ends the tantrum with a wave of threats targeting Norway.

🤨 Russian soldiers show off what their command issued them for sleeping. Technically, it is a bag. Just not quite the kind they were expecting.

I still can't think of the russian horrific war crime in the Hroza village without tears. 3yrs ago today. The monsters shelled a memorial lunch for the Ukrainian serviceman, killing one third of the village, incl children, in one attack. Never again? And again. And again.

The moment a drone or missile whistles nearby, 🇺🇦 women instantly become a shield for their children—covering them with their bodies, holding them tightly, covering their eyes and ears, comforting them. Every Ukrainian mother, sister, & grandmother is always ready to become a shelter. Thread 1/5🧵
