Slava Ukraini! #Ukraine

🇱🇻 Latvia's Prime Minister to Russia: There is no jokes with us. 14 NATO allies work and train together in Latvia right now, and it is a clear demonstration of strong transatlantic ties, allied unity and ironclad commitment to Article 5.

Some sobering statistics about how the people of Sumy, #Ukraine lived in May. 561 hours of air raid alerts. At least one alert every day. ~1960 instances of shelling. Russia is not waging war. It's terrorizing civilians, pure and simple. Full article (in Ukrainian): cukr.city/city/2026/ob...

This nuclear blackmail is very predictable and the right way to respond is to make it clear that such blackmail is unacceptable. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

💙💛 Russian dictator fears assassination attempt by drone from Russian elites According to "Vazhnyye Istorii," several sources confirm that Putin has grown increasingly anxious about the risk of a coup or internal conspiracy. rubryka.com/en/2026/05/0...

What does modern drone warfare actually look like on the ground? In this RealTalk, I speak with Ukrainian drone operators from the Onyx Team and Wildfield Battalion about real missions, enemy drones, AI interception, and the reality behind the headlines. RealTalk # 19 is live. 🇺🇦 Watch & share.

We need more investigations like these so people understand that the problem is not that sanctions fundamentally don't work but that, like any law, they require active enforcement to be effective. #Ukraine theins.press/en/news/291438

On the night of April 6, GUR fighters disabled Russia’s last railway ferry in Kerch, the "Slavyanin", using drone strikes. The ferry in the Kerch Strait played a vital role in supplying Russian forces in occupied Crimea with fuel, lubricants, weaponry, military equipment, and ammunition.

💙💛 On Sunday, April 5, Russian occupiers attacked Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk region, for the 2nd time in one day. The occupiers committed a war crime around 7:30 AM. They directed an FPV strike drone at a car moving along one of the city's busiest streets. #HumanSafari😡 unn.ua/en/news/russ...

🇺🇦 is our friend 🇷🇺 is our enemy. 🇺🇦 fights for freedom 🇷🇺 survives by inventing enemies and beating the war drum. The Kremlin turns 🇺🇸 into a monster so it can pose as a savior – practicing politics of grievance to justify repression at home & atrocities abroad www.realclearworld.com/articles/202...

Regardless of any benefits Russia derived from cooperating with Iran in the past, America's war with Iran is clearly good news for the Kremlin. open.substack.com/pub/ukrainei...

🇸🇪🇺🇦 Zelensky: Today, Sweden has announced its largest defense assistance package for Ukraine — nearly $1.4 billion. This will significantly strengthen our soldiers on the battlefield and help protect our skies from wicked Russian air attacks on critical infrastructure.

Russia's economy is struggling. The Kremlin can't sustain its war forever. www.reuters.com/business/rus...

This is Kyiv today, 12 years ago. It was February 18, 2014, first of 3 bloodiest days of Maidan. 17 protesters were killed by special force police that day alone. 14 more received fatal injuries, they died days later. We would win later that month, but the price would be high. It always is

Hillary Clinton: "To achieve a just, lasting settlement in Ukraine, we must better equip Ukraine with long-range missiles and adequate air defense systems. That’s the only language Putin understands. Strong support for Ukraine will force him to negotiate a better deal.

💙💛 Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainians will not accept a peace agreement that involves unilaterally ceding territory in the east of the country to Russia. rubryka.com/en/2026/02/1...

Russia's economy is weak. With the right pressure, the Kremlin cannot sustain its war in Ukraine for long without generating significant discontent in Russia, which Putin has gone out of his way to avoid doing.

🇪🇺 The EU could impose a complete ban on maritime services for Russian oil tankers even without the agreement of the G7 countries, including the US. Dombrovskis said that G7 support is desirable but "not an absolute prerequisite" for a decision. EU is ready to act independently.

Russia is a lawless kleptostate. The sooner Russia's regime falls, the better for everyone, including Russians.

💙💛 A view of monument to the Cossacks, the city's founders, with a Ukrainian flag near a destroyed building following the Russian airstrike #OTD Feb 17, 2024 on the city of Kupiansk, Kharkiv region, Ukraine. 2 people were killed and 5 were injured, 4 of them were rescued from the rubble.

These defense chiefs are absolutely right. "Rearmament is not warmongering; it is the responsible action of nations determined to protect their people and preserve peace"

Russia killed many more civilians in 2025 than before. The longer the world dithers in standing up to Russia, the more people will die. Russia is weak and CAN be defeated (which is why it's resorting to terrorism). www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Classic Zelenskyy: "We can also give ceasefire for Russians if they will do elections in Russia."😏🤌

Ensuring the defeat of Russia in #Ukraine will be good for Russians as well. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Zelenskyy on Russian shadow fleet: Putin still has financial stability guarantees—much of it right here in Europe. Russian oil tankers freely sail the Baltic, North & Mediterranean Seas. Russia uses over 1,000 in it's shadow fleet. Each of them is, in fact, a floating wallet for the Kremlin.

Europe CAN defend itself at reasonable cost even without the USA. It just needs better leadership. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
