Ukrainian defender Pavlo Shatokhyn, callsign Shakh, defended Mariupol and was captured at the Azovstal. In the russian captivity he was tortured, beaten, starved — he lost 80kg. Terrifying. But "russia has been fine on Ukraine." Photos Suspilne

Serbians reminded us: democracy doesn't defend itself. People do. Passionate people who refuse to tolerate corruption and abuse of power. Many Western countries have important elections coming up in the weeks & months ahead. Folks. This may be your final boarding call to defend your democracy too.

16 more air defense towers have been built around putin's residence in Valdai, acc to Radio Liberty. There are now over 50 air defense positions protecting that residence — roughly half as many as have been built around Moscow and its region since 2022. "But russia is winning".

I had a personal encounter with a russian "humanitarian intentions" last year in the form of a lost car, blown out windows in half of my apartment, and shattered interior doors. I was lucky we were ok, the rest was fixable. This kind of "humanitarianism" deserves a good trial that is long overdue

The American security guarantees: Sorry, guys. Budapest Memorandum was never voted in Congress, Clinton's gone, it's on him. But trust us, when you give up Donbas to russia under similarly vague assurances, we'll always be there for you. Seriously, why go they think everyone is an idiot?

I will never ever forget that Trump said russia was doing just fine on Ukraine on the same day russians murdered a 1yo girl and five other people in a public park. Cannibals

Listening to ballistics now, I recalled one of the scariest photos I've ever seen. It showed fire and smoke rising next to a still-intact residential building. The caption read: "One minute before." A minute later, the next russian missiles would eliminate half of that building. Ternopil. 38 dead.

This administration has a lot on its plate. There’s Russian diesel to buy, Russian sanctions to waive, Russian demands to consider and Russian officials to reassure. Domestic policy will have to wait.

Back to the news after being out all day again. I just don't get it. Is catering to russia 24/7 really what Americans need most right now? Is the Trump administration doing anything else these days?

russian occupation is not peace.

The second child murdered by terrorussia in the public park yesterday was 11yo Arina Koval. Her mom Lilia and brother Artem were wounded and are fighting for their lives now. Rest in peace, small angel. Source: їх убила росія.

A russian drone burned people alive in a car as they were driving down the road, despite others desperately trying to rescue them. For Trump, his admin, AfD, and other moral bankrupts, this is just fine. For everyone who hasn't sold their soul for blood-soaked rubles, this is horrifying terrorism.

Spent the entire day at the meetings without reading Trump's bs. Feeling so much better even though russia heavily bombs Kyiv with jet-powered drones today. Trump is a weapon of russian warfare against Ukraine.

WEST RUSSIA 🇺🇲 RUSSIA 2.0 THE DEFINITION OF "FINE" IN LANGUAGE OF RUSSIA #RussiaIsATerroristState #TrumpRussianPuppet #RussianWarCrimes #PutinWarCriminal & this is just recent couple of days...

Baby Anhelina and her mom Inna — for cannibal Trump, this "isn't much". Rest in peace, innocent souls.

One of the Republican staffers on the Hill told us back in early 2025 that with Trump, it would be “a bumpy road to peace.” So far, all I've seen is a highway to hell.

"I prayed to God, please, let all of them be identified so they aren't missing anymore. Now they are buried separately," says pani Nelia about the funeral of her four grandchildren and a great grandson in Radushne, where a russian ballistic missile erased the entire family of Voronovi on July 30.

One of them is asking the other to help him seize the Donetsk region, which russia failed to conquer for 13yrs. The other has started a war against Iran with no idea how to get out of it, sending global oil prices soaring. And here we are, old idiots dividing up the world in the Yalta 2.0.

In Mar 2022, russian soldiers shot this 2yo boy and his entire family with a heavy machine gun. Their "crime" was an attempt to flee occupation of the Kyiv region. russian occupation is hell. It's not peace. “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” — 2 Corinthians 11:14

with millions of us tortured and killed. But it would have happened in silence. Apologies for surviving, defending, and screaming the truth about the russian genocide. /2

Those who preach peace through capitulation won't tell you what russian occupation means. russians occupied Izyum for less than 6m. After liberation, we found mass graves of 447 ppl, most of whom were civilians, incl 215 women and 5 children. Bodies had multiple signs of torture.

While russia attempts to destroy Starlink equipment in Europe, the US continues to restrict Starshield speeds for Ukraine with no explanation. Honestly, this is a brilliant American-russian synergy in undermining a leading American company.

Those kind peacedealers from MAGA and AfD voters who want Ukraine to give away our lands to russia are very welcome to show us by their own example, pack, and move into russian torture chambers. Collaborators aren't well regarded by russians, btw. Who respects traitors.

Trump's efforts aren't really abt solving the problem of high diesel prices. A deal w/ russia won't fix that. To make a real difference, he'd have to do sth abt Iran, which he can't. He needs a scapegoat. If only this political cannibalism weren't costing us so many human lives.

Trump signs an order exempting russia from the Graham sanctions legislation. He is in a full 'defend russia' mode. As if Americans don't have other issues for their president to care of before the elections.

The scariest part is how they just make things up. $350B in free aid to Ukraine. Ukraine depleted US Tomahawks stocks. Ukraine killed a million russian children. russia wants peace. And so on. And millions of Americans believe this. I have to finish all my posts with 'welcome to 1984'.

The russians have committed an act of war by striking at least one Vessel inside Romanian territorial waters! "The two ships hit overnight were both anchored in the Black Sea near the mouth of the Sulina canal leading into the Danube River[...]One was in Romanian waters, the ⁠other just outside."

What better way to secure long-term multi-billion contracts for the American defence industry than to demonstrate to every potential customer that dependence on US weapons can and will be weaponized against them whenever Washington sees fit?

Make russia great servants.

My first train evacuation. In the middle of nowhere. Just a few min btw the announcement & the train stop. The conductors gave clear instructions: no panic, take essentials, move away from the train. The whole thing lasted ~10min. Thank God, no drones appeared. Still, a pretty shitty experience.
