🚨 NEW REPORT: 17 of the 20 top profit taxpayers in Russia are companies from G7 and EU countries, undermining their own govs’ efforts to curb the Kremlin’s revenues and support Ukraine. Int'l firms paid $60B in taxes to Russia since 2022 — half of Russia's military budget for 2025. bit.ly/4fVdY1H

💸❗️Foreign companies paid at least $20 billion in taxes to the Russian budget in 2024, according to the KSE Institute and B4Ukraine, — Newsweek. These funds would be enough to pay the salaries of 1 million Russian soldiers.

🤬 Russians committed another war crime against civilians in the Kharkiv region: on the road to the village of Kotlyarivka near Kupiansk, Russian soldiers opened fire on a civilian woman with small arms and a mortar, wounding her, and then killed her with an FPV drone.

There is no nation willing to help Ukraine militarily fight off Russia in an ongoing war. Any "security guarantees" for Ukraine on paper will be worthless. If the country is unwilling to help defend Ukraine now, why would it be willing to do so in the future? Send the troops now.

🛠️Japanese authorities have conducted an investigation into the supply of high-precision equipment to the Russian defense industry and found large-scale violations of sanctions. 🔗Read details: militarnyi.com/en/news/japa...

Just heartbreaking: across the frontlines, homes are being emptied. Not by choice, but because they have to be. I know this because we lost ours. Our family home, where birthdays were celebrated, meals shared — gone. Russians moved in. I can’t go back. It’s stolen.

And at this rate, it will come for you too. Unexpected and surrially cruel. And you’ll know you could have prevented it by supporting us when it mattered. 3/3

👀 Russia is supplied with machine tools from the Czech Republic, which are used, among other things, for the military industry’s needs. The journalists of the Insider counted 12 Czech manufacturers whose equipment has been delivered to Russia since 2024. militarnyi.com/en/news/mach...

The system of international law is broken. There are no more rules anymore. The question is how to survive now. A new functioning system is needed. And we need to actually survive until it appears. For Europe, this is not the time for observation. It's the time for quick actions and unity.

Russia can launch attacks from Belarus—no escalation. It can rain down Iranian drones, fire North Korean shells and missiles, even troops and workers. still no escalation. But the moment Ukraine dares ask for long-range missiles or a serious number of planes to defend itself?

An Odessa family who traveled to Israel for their critically ill child's treatment was killed during an Iranian missile attack. On the night of June 14, one of Iran's ballistic missiles struck a residential building in Bat Yam, near Tel Aviv.

For 11 years I have spent a lot of time arguing that the western world must oppose Russian terror and aggression. What amazes me is that opposing Russia is still something that is debated, not universally agreed on. How could we become such miserable cowards?

This war poisons our land on every level.

Russia still seeks to erase Ukraine. Ukraine still fights to exist. Whatever spectacle unfolds tomorrow in Istanbul, it will amount to nothing—there is no middle ground. It’s a performance for Trump to observe, assessing Ukraine’s readiness for peace, while Russia continues to kill us.

In captivity, russians tortured combat medic Halyna for refusing to speak russian. After release, her boyfriend Mykola immediately proposed to her. Both defended Mariupol as marines. Both were captured, but while he was released in autumn 2022, she spent nearly two more years in captivity 📸: Sho_Tam

Putin's parade in faces: who visited the dictator and war criminal in Moscow today. I've made a slideshow for you.

Servicemen from 13 countries will march across Red Square alongside an army of murderers. This was announced by Yuri Ushakov, an aide to the Russian dictator. Here are the countries that are effectively endorsing the war crimes of the Russian army.

The Russian government plans to use a seized US-owned canned food company to feed its soldiers attacking Ukraine, according to a document reviewed by Reuters. This is the Kremlin's message to Western businesses: We’ll steal your assets—and make you accomplices in our war crimes. bit.ly/3YdJYGK

The state-owned German company SEFE — once a Gazprom subsidiary — is ramping up LNG imports from Russia, injecting hundreds of millions into Putin’s war chest, per @spiegel.de and Urgewald. Despite EU sanctions, SEFE’s shipments were escorted by a sanctioned Russian company, Atomflot. bit.ly/4jnWYlM

The all-out war in Ukraine, now in its fourth year, has caused the worst destruction to the cities since World War II. There has been no response from the "international community" – the UN acts as if nothing has happened, and the US is solely concerned with "profitable business."

Putin has signed a law ratifying the treaty on comprehensive strategic partnership between Russia and Iran.

“Ceasefire”, putin style: “you cease, I fire”

Here’s your Easter Bunny from Kharkiv, Mr. Trump.

Sumy. Children burying children. Andriy Dubchak and @frontliner_ua captured a photo series. And it’s terrifying to realize what they meant to show. This is russia.Not Dostoevsky, Turgenev, or the “great ballet.” This. Children in coffins. And children standing over them.

Czechia is bankrolling #Putin - €8.2B+ since 2022 on Russian oil & gas. In 2024, gas imports quadrupled. Viable alternatives exist. Stop funding the war. Unless Czechia cuts Russian energy now, they will keep fueling the Kremlin’s war machine. Read the full commentary in @reuters.com 👇

🚨 New Report: $23.7B in Western Firms’ Goods Reaching Russia via China during Sanctions EU firms are increasingly exporting to Russia via China, which we see in connection with the gradual closure of EU trade routes. Asia is the next battleground for curbing EU supplies to Russia. bit.ly/3EcumMO

I can’t begin to convey how emotionally draining, alienating, and soul-crushing it feels to endure bombings for the fourth year. To watch your city being destroyed, to see your people burning in their beds, while the world keeps turning—indifferent enough to let it happen. Or worse,

We strongly condemn Italy's #Ariston for returning to Russia after agreeing to the Kremlin’s terms for revoking its decree on seizing the company’s assets. This move demonstrates a сonscious willingness to fund a state that systematically violates int'l law and commits war crimes. bit.ly/4hUr8LM

🇨🇭 Swiss defense companies have lost ground amid European rearmament due to export restrictions and a ban on reselling Swiss weapons to Ukraine. Representatives of the Swiss arms industry reported this to Reuters.

💔 A sign with the following message was put up in a meat shop of Kharkiv: “On March 8, 2025, our company was directly hit. The last sausage from our plant is on sale in the store.” Russians attacked a meat processing plant in Bohodukhiv, Kharkiv region, with 5 kamikaze drones, killing 3 people.

Since 2022, foreign companies in Russia have suffered over $170B in direct losses — KSE. 📉 $57B+ in seized assets ⚠️ 30+ firms fell victim to Kremlin takeovers 🌎 Hardest hit by country: US ($46B), Germany ($44.5B), UK ($35B) Russia is a high-risk, toxic market. It's time to pull out. bit.ly/41OTaDv

All military aid from the U.S. to Ukraine from 2014-2024 has cost the U.S. tax payer $19.94 per person per year. In return they got to destroy Russia’s entire Soviet equipment inheritance and still complain it is a bad deal

Tonight Ukraine will continue to prove it does not want peace by being bombed.
