Well said by the King! Pretty sure the spineless clowns in attendance will revert to the orange Führer's whims though.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!

Ukrainian outlet Babel have published a long read on the man, the legend, Lt. Gen. Kyrylo Budanov. The profile opens with details that sound invented: moss tea, an icon over his head, a chessboard, and a bright red notebook labelled as his 2026 list of bastards — and then a life spent at war. 🧵👇

The New York Times waking up to something most of realised a long time ago. Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the leader of the free world. And I'm more than fine with that.

"heated rhetoric" 🤡 Meanwhile, Trump's out there threatening the end of civilisation.

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

This is a huge mistake. I don't want the King to be debased by the orange turd. I am sick of the attacks on my country and my country's allies.

I get that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is a long-running event. But watching media figures do black-tie normality while the Trump administration attacks the press feels badly out of touch.

The central allegation in this investigation is that 🇺🇦 civilians under occupation were encouraged to take visible risks — photos with Ukrainian symbols, public acts of defiance, and in some cases more dangerous tasks — without adequate safety systems around them. kyivindependent.com/investigatio...

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

russia massacring people in Ukraine is apparently fine but when their internet freedoms are threatened, that's a step too far apparently. russians are not the victims.

We are living in the dumbest of times. Every day I wake up, and when I check the news it's the same old insane stuff.

Canadian PM @mark-carney.bsky.social: "Many of our former strengths, based on our close ties to America, have become our weaknesses, weaknesses that we must correct." A stunning example of how dramatically the world has changed due to Trump, given how close Canada and the US were before.

⚡️ President Zelenskyy says Ukrainian strikes caused over $2.3 billion in damage to the Russian oil industry this March.

WCK teams met Fiona when we delivered 12 more tons of flour to Hell’s Kitchen, a volunteer-led bakery in Kharkiv that provides meals and freshly baked bread to families impacted by the war. She has been volunteering here for nearly two years, baking bread and delivering meals to hospitals. (1/2)

Good thread on how the likes of Mendel shamelessly parrot nonsense for $. (The fact she has so many paying subscribers is *interesting* in and of itself. It doesn't feel organic.)

Wow. What a photo! 😍 President Zelenskyy with Ukrainian long-range missiles. [Source: President Zelenskyy's Twitter/X]

Happy "russian warship, go fuck yourself" day!

Congratulations to the people of Hungary on ousting Viktor Orbán!

All eyes on Hungary today!

❤️‍🩹 After being freed from Russian captivity and returning home, a Ukrainian defender called his family with the good news and finally heard the voices of his loved ones.

FT - Zelenskyy confirmed for first time that Ukrainian electronic warfare systems and interceptors were used to take down Iranian Shahed drones in “several” Gulf countries hosting US military infrastructure. “Did we destroy them? Yes, we did,” he said to the FT. www.ft.com/content/d0db...

3/3. No matter what else is going on, the one predictable thing about any Trump policy is that he will find a way to prop up Putin and his fascist regime.

Oil, supplies and spare parts for russia's armed forces are believed to have been taken through the English Channel on Wednesday by sanctioned Russian tankers, escorted by a Kremlin warship, the Admiral Grigorovich, a frigate armed with cruise and surface-to-air missiles. inews.co.uk/news/secret-...

This isn't a robbery. Still, hand over the money.😁

Since the US is in the business of killing off NATO, the solution would be to create a better organisation which isn't full of Putin's trojan horses - and one which must include Ukraine, since Ukrainians have been protecting Europe for the last 4 years!

Imagine thinking this is a gotcha when the first thing you see when clicking the link is the author ADMITTING THEY DIDN'T WATCH THE SPEECH. A mere 10-second Google search finds Zelenskyy's actual speech to the Knesset in March 2022.

This is total nonsense. Netanyahu is aligned with Putin. Zelenskyy last met him at the UN General Assembly in 2023. In June 2024, Zelenskyy called for an end to Israel's war in Gaza, urged Israel to respect international law, and Ukraine sent 1,000 tons of wheat flour to the Palestinian territories.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy might be president of Ukraine, but first he is a son, father and husband! About phone calls with his mum: “If I am not answering, by the way, I have a problem! I have 10, 20 phone calls from her. So that is why it is better to answer first [time]” inews.co.uk/opinion/trum...

The lawsuit challenging Grammarly's product which allows users to edit text “in the style” of identifiable journalists and scholars illustrates not need for new laws but the underappreciated breadth and aplicability of current law to generative AI, writes @profrothman.bsky.social.

Here‘s the thing about Elbridge Colby telling the Vatican that America is powerful enough to do whatever it wants anywhere in the world: Iran is currently showing everyone that this is extremely untrue.

Iran has released an official map of required shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz. It shows vessels must travel closer to Iran’s coast, and confirms for the first time that usual routes are now considered dangerous due to the risk of naval mines.

NEW: Lebanon is Gaza 2.0. That’s what Israeli ministers are saying in their own words. Believe them. 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/lebanon-wa...

On 9 April 1989, Soviet forces murdered Georgian independence protesters in Tbilisi. Two years later, the USSR collapsed. Today, as for the last 18 months, protesters in Tbilisi are again standing up against authoritarian repression and against domination by Moscow.

Of great interest

🪖 This is a stark reminder for #Europe: Russia’s invasion will not begin with troops and tanks massed at the border, as it did in Ukraine. Russia has already been waging a hybrid war against Europe for years, and its hot phase will start with hundreds of drones striking civilian infrastructure.

The 426th Unmanned Systems Regiment of the 30th Marine Corps used Bulava-type drones to strike Russian rear positions on the left bank of Kherson Oblast. A Russian Kamaz truck was destroyed over 70 km from the front line. #Ukraine

I'm all for taking action against the russians, but I am pretty sure we have not, in fact, "exploded" a russian submarine in the North Atlantic lol

Any of my followers fans of The Rest is Politics podcast? They've recorded an interview with President Zelenskyy which is being released at 6pm BST today. In the meantime, here's Alistair Campbell writing about his experience interviewing Zelenskyy for the podcast. inews.co.uk/opinion/trum...
