🇺🇦 After the Chornobyl catastrophe, Prof. Leonid Kindzelski, chief radiologist of the Ukrainian SSR, defied the authorities & official protocols to save his gravely irradiated patients & succeeded. In 2021, he was posthumously named Hero of Ukraine His story @en.rfi.fr 👇 www.rfi.fr/en/internati...

🔴 More missiles launched on Kyiv. Several powerful explosions already.

🔴 Emergency services: "In the Desnyanskiy district, Russians struck university buildings, dormitories, and nearby residential buildings. There was also a strike near one of the metro stations, hitting a car. At least 10 people were injured (..)". One person was killed in Dniprovskiy district.

Foreign cameras do not automatically mean independent reporting.   Estonian intelligence documented how Russia has organised controlled press tours of occupied Ukrainian territory, sometimes paying participants and using their accounts to amplify Kremlin narratives.

‼️ Zelenskyy confirms Starlink and Starshield are back up and running: Now we have the speed we need

The child killed in her stroller was Angelina. She was 1 year and 2 months old. Her mother, Inna Mariukhna, 28, died later in the hospital. Inna was a primary school teacher and event host. Both were buried on Oct 21.

2/ The Kremlin is fundamentally only interested in buying time to resolve the war on the battlefield while Russia simultaneously reaps the benefits of economic cooperation with the United States.

According to Exilenova+ OSINT and geolocation, a Ukrainian strike in Voronezh appears to have targeted the former Voronezh Military Aviation Engineering University and a nearby military aircraft parking area. Damage and possible aircraft losses remain unknown. #Russia

Donc l'AFP considère elle aussi que les bavardages Poutine/Witkoff au cours desquels ce dernier qualifie Poutine "d'humanitaire" sont des "pourparlers" pour mettre fin au conflit. Ok...

“Humanitarian.” I don’t have the words. The utter violence of hearing it while Moscow’s drones & missiles kill Ukrainian civilians every day. While people are dying of hunger, while people under occupation are tortured and thousands of children are being deported. What a morally bankrupt world.

Murdered by Russians in Kyiv two days ago, Maryana Tokarchuk, 21 years old. As one of Ukraine's partners increasingly joins Russia in their war on global democracy, the people of Ukraine face massacres at the highest level of the war, and Russians don't intend to stop at Ukraine.

The Russians spell it out over and over again that they seek Ukrainian capitulation and stupid Westerners still screech about why Ukraine can’t agree to give up a bit of territory to supposedly end the war.

📽️Watch the extraordinary interview of Kostyantin Vlasenko. Not only did he survive 491 days on position, ending up alone & wounded, but he also had to amputate his two feet, survived and became the first man to be evacuated from the frontline to the rear by drone 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLC0...

‼️ Russia recruits around 1,800 foreign nationals every month

The claim that Ukraine doesn’t want peace, like most claims coming from the Kremlin, is a lie. Last year, the Kremlin rejected seven peace proposals, including a Christmas truce. Peace requires Russia to end its aggression, not Ukraine to surrender.

Ob beim Verrat an der Ukraine oder bei den Ursachen für die Proteste und die Eskalation in Frankreich. Zu viele Journalist:innen folgen dem Weg: die rechte MAGA-Blase auf X sagt dazu folgendes, was sagen Sie dazu? Das schadet nicht nur der Ukraine, sondern dem demokratischen Diskurs in Deutschland.

Ukrainian volunteers with 12 Vartovykh have saved more than 28,000 animals from front-line communities under Russian fire since the full-scale invasion.

⚡️ Russia strikes 28 critical energy facilities across Ukraine in latest wave of attacks, Zelensky says. At least 550,000 households lost power overnight, Zelensky said, following a coordination meeting on the situation in Ukraine's regions.

🚨 BREAKING: A baby in a stroller and two women were killed after a Russian attack targeted a park in Kharkiv region. Fourteen people were injured, seven of them children.

🇫🇷🇺🇦 “In addition, we are actively working to help Ukraine strengthen its ability to withstand aggression through satellite imagery [and] early warning systems, which are critically important, and Europe has solutions in this area.” — Emmanuel Macron

Ukraine used #Starlink to control drones, bombers and ground robots during Operation Vivaldi, Bloomberg reports. Starshield also enabled kamikaze vehicles converted from Soviet BTR-60s. US adviser John Roberts says there's no equally simple alternative.

For Jean-Luc Mélenchon, it’s always about submission: the French must submit to him, Russians to Putin, Ukraine to Russia, Taiwan to China, Syria to Assad and Venezuela to Maduro. @vatniksoup.bsky.social say it all in here 👇 desk-russie.info/2026/10/17/t...

⚡Russian troops executed Ukrainian POWs in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, military says. Russian forces are accused of executing Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) on the Huliaipole front in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, a Ukrainian military spokesperson told Ukrainska Pravda on Oct. 17.

Russia sentences four Ukrainians to 25 years or life for partisan resistance after ‘torture so bad you’d confess to anything’ khpg.org/en/1608816139

😢 Russian attacks killed 328 civilians and injured 2,105 in Ukraine in September, an 85% increase from last year. The UN says the first two weeks of October were among the deadliest for civilians in recent years.

⚡️ Using frozen Russian assets would nearly double aid to Ukraine since 2022 and serve as a "game-changer," Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard stated. The push comes as EU allies move to unblock the funds for Kyiv.

Reuters reports that the order to restrict Ukraine’s Starshield satellite system came from inside the White House. Ukrainian officials say the restrictions slowed interceptor drones used against Russian attacks. To me, that means the White House now has Ukrainian blood on its hands.

⚡️G7 countries pledge 260 million euros to repair Chornobyl safety infrastructure damaged in Russian attack. The confinement structure, located about 130 kilometers (80 miles) north of Kyiv, was severely damaged in February 2025 after being struck by a Russian drone.

Me, living in Ukraine under russian bombs (ballistic threat at this very moment, yes), being French and having worked as a political correspondent in Germany, when I'm finally being asked on air to explain why the european far right parties are against supporting Ukraine...👇 Hint: follow the money 💰

⚡️Russian attacks kill at least 17, injure 67 across Ukraine, as drone waves wreak havoc in central, western oblasts. President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia used a total of 850 Shahed-type drones since 09:00 a.m. on Oct. 14.

Editorial cartoonist Mike Luckovich believes Americans are already watching a public execution.

💡Electricity returned some time in the night at my place - and so did water pressure & hot water. I stayed up to charge all my devices/powerbanks and slept through the night air alert due to sheer exhaustion from previous nights. As I write, new attacks occur in Kyiv, we hear air defense working.

Fedorov says Starlink’s in-motion speed limit has been restored to 160 km/h, and he is working to remove the restriction entirely. It was “restored” because the limit had dropped to 70-80 km/h during the day.

Zelensky told Piers Morgan that Ukraine feels betrayed and fears it is losing the US as a strong partner. “We are not selling our country. This is not business for us. This is our life, our country, our home, our children,” he said, adding that Ukraine cannot afford to be weak. #Ukraine

🤸‍♀️ The Netherlands denied visas to three Russian gymnasts, including Olympic champion Angelina Melnikova. They will miss the World Championships in Rotterdam and the chance to compete for early Olympic quota places for 2028 📸: Wikimedia

I still don't have electricity and have now lit up candles. Russia is intent on making our lives impossible. Earlier I was outside, asking Ukrainians what they thought about Trump. I was amazed at how dignified and measured they remained (publicly), even when facing such a betrayal.

I've had no electricity since early in the morning - the powercut schedule is no longer valid as emergency powercuts are underway. Energy workers are working around the clock to save what can be, but so far we in Kyiv better rely on generators or invincibility point. Thank God it's not freezing yet.

Service note: I don't have time to monitor each sharing of my posts but if I do spot anti-Ukrainian and other dehumanizing BS, I will immediately detach the quote and block. I have no brain space or energy to spare for more attacks.
