This would be the fifth Russian Blitz missile attack on Ukraine/Kyiv since mid-October (when Ukraine likely expended the last of its Patriot system ballistic missile interceptors.

Kyiv again under attack by Russian ballistic missiles. Several loud explosions. A strike just hit the Holosiiv and Chabany districts. The missiles were only detected as they were falling on their targets, Telegram monitors say. Around 10 missiles fired.

Amid the brouhaha over allegations of limits on intelligence sharing and the proved throttling of Ukraine's Starshield, a 3rd way Trump is aiding Putin hasn't had much press - the blocking of supplies of paid-for Patriot interceptors. This delay is costing Ukrainian lives.

I signed on for a Blue Tick with Xitter as an experiment to see if it would boost my visibility and engagement rate. It has actually notably reduced. In particular, engagement really started to be choked off mid-June. #UkraineSilenced

Now that the US is no longer a reliable partner, it's essential that the Freya ant-ballistic missile system enters service as quickly as possible. Ukraine, even in wartime, has delivered its part of the work. Can Kyiv's partner nations keep up though?

Shocker! A disingenuous Republican….

Looking back, from the high vantage point of the future, we might see that Musk's most significant achievement was to destroy the lingusitic association between "rocket scientist" and "intelligent."

From someone who has lived in Ukraine over 30 years (me), this is bullshit. Hundreds of billions didn't flow to Ukraine - Ukraine's oligarchs made their (relatively modest) fortunes by ripping off Ukrainians, not foreigners. Ukrainians are fighting to stop this happening again.

Trump U-turns and starts to blame Iran for driving up the cost of diesel, after his plot to blame Ukraine and simultaneously force Kyiv to capitulate to fascist Russia crashes, rolls, burns and explodes.

US and Ukrainian officials say Trump phoned Musk to ask him to life the restrictions. Trump trying to take credit for fixing problem he likely created himself. Congressional inquiry urgently needed to get to the bottom of who really created this clusterfuck.

Red air alert in Kyiv and much of Ukraine, meaning there is a threat of Russian ballistic missile launches. Rumors are running across the various Telegram military monitoring channels that fascist Russia plans to attack Kyiv's Pivdeniy (Southern) bridge with Iskander-M missiles.

More of fascist Russia’s ballistic missiles and drones attacking Kyiv. Did Steve Fuckwitkoff remember to thank Putin for them?

I said that this was a Russian trope at the time in testimony to Congress and am glad to see this excellent documentation of Russia’s use of Vance’s vocal chords.

0333 - great big bang in western Kyiv. Earlier, around 3-4 big bangs at around 0305. Russian ballistic missile attack, they say on Telegram…

Every elected representative of the United States who has voted with Trump should be prepared to appear to before Congress and testify under oath.

Please consider signing and sharing this new petition to the ICC urging them to investigate Trump, Elon Musk, Hegseth for enabling war crimes against Ukrainian civilians. www.change.org/p/tell-the-i...

The US has demonstrated that it will cut off vital military aid to Ukraine at will. Thereby, it no longer exerts meaningful leverage on Ukraine. Kyiv should assert that if Russia continues to attack Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Ukraine will attack Russia's oil refineries.

Vance agrees it's right to call the murderous Russian dictator, child stealer, and hostage taker a "humanitarian."

This refers to Mariupol. The word "appear" is superfluous. But we did it anti imperialisticly.

Authoritarians, when seeking to overthrow democracy: Claim past elections were corrupt, cast doubt on integrity of future ones; Claim opinion polls to be false or inaccurate; Try to suppress voter turnout, invalidate votes cast; Reject election result, incite chaos and disorder.

Plausible scenario? Musk comes to Trump with Starlink/shield hobbling plan. Trump approves with nod and wink - no paper trail. Musk's SpaceX carries out order. State and DoD left out of loop. Shit ensues. Clueless Rubio wheeled out to deflect blame from Trump fully onto Musk.

White House scapegoats Musk.

21 October 1938 | A Dutch Jewish girl, Roza Elisabeth, van Coevorden was born in Rotterdam. In August 1942 she was deported to Auschwitz with her mother Mathilda. They were both murdered in a gas chamber after the selection. - Gas chambers and crematoria at Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/-A05i25j9Ck

💥 The occupied Donetsk region is under massive attack by strike drones.

💥 Strike on energy facilities in occupied Donetsk region

More Kremlin propaganda from Tavarish Trump: Russia may have lost more ground than it gained this year due to Operation Vivaldi and other Ukrainian advances, and fascist Russia had to bring in North Korean troops it help it retake its own territory in Kursk Oblast.

🤯🇺🇸 Trump to a reporter: Quiet! QUIET! What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person? I actually think there's something wrong with you.

Rubio either clueless or lying.

It took Trump just two years to wreck America's image. It will take decades to restore it.

Despite intense efforts by both the Trump administration and years of Russian influence operations, the Canadian province of Alberta has voted not to secede from Canada.

The road my mum takes to work daily, I'm glad that she left earlier today - otherwise she'd been there around the time of attack.

Some people in the West can see the forest - a new very real threat of an imperialist world partition attempt🚨 - behind the trees like the cost of living "crisis", climate "emergency" and other petty stuff.

Trump will be too sucked into an internal political war Congress to be much use to any of America's allies or adversaries

"What is happening in Brussels is no longer simple protest! It is plain and simple violence, organised and repeated, aimed at destabilising our society,” Belgian interior minister Bernard Quintin."

🇺🇦Zelensky: A terrible Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. Park near an ordinary cafe. 6 people died, including children. A girl was killed in a wheelchair. Her name was Angelina, she was a little over a year old, she was born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna, she died in the hospital…

Fascist Russia killed a child in a stroller today, after the US hobbled Ukraine’s jet drone interceptors by throttling back the speed of Starlink. Meanwhile, Trump says…

Another lunatic Trump post, but note how he also seeds an election-undermining narrative. The last time Trump lost a big vote, his followers stormed Congress, attempting an insurrection. There's a >0 chance something similar might be tried should the GOP lose the midterms badly.

Smashing the army of fascist Russia, an enemy of the US? Nothing? Supplying invaluable HUMINT on Russia to the US? Nothing? Sharing drone tech and battle expertise? Nothing? Defending the free world from aggressive fascist Russian imperialism? Nothing?

The strange landscape of the Kakhovka reservoir, now a battlefield. Thick patches of sapling forest, grasses and reeds, broken by stretches of sand. All of it was underwater until June 6, 2023, when the Russians blew up the Kakhovka dam, causing a huge flood disaster downstream.

📣🇺🇦 Occupant surrendered to drone with loudspeaker Border guards of the 4th detachment in the Kharkiv region discovered a small infantry group of the occupiers and engaged them. One of the Russians decided to stop resisting and surrender.

Most Ukrainians ready to endure fascist Russia's war "as long as necessary."

The single most effective factor working against vote rigging is high voter turnout.
