IMHO, if there is no POW exchange, Ukraine should sanction the red square....

Oh man, the russian milbloggers will have a feast on this one lmao

To think about it, president Zelenskyy is the only president who allowed something in russia over the past 25 years instead of restricting and banning 🤔

🥴 Putin used to always walk to lay flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Today, for the first time in history, he rode an armored bus…

❗️By May 9, six out of ten fuel tanks at the 🇷🇺Perm oil depot had completely burned down.

The Russian Navy held a #VictoryDay parade in the Black Sea.

A scarlet-faced Peskov commented: "Woe to anyone who tries to mock Victory Day and makes such silly jokes. We don't need anyone's permission to be proud of our Victory Day." They've gone a long way from "Kyiv in three days."

The red square coordinates I’m crying

Ukraine’s President decree: “Allow a parade to be held on May 9, 2026 in the city of Moscow”

Day 1536 of my 3 day war. I had to beg Donald to plead with Zelensky to permit my 5th victory parade in a war in losing. I remain a master strategist.

The President of Ukraine just issued a decree about the parade in Moscow on May 9th.

⚡️ Zelensky agrees to Trump ceasefire proposal, authorizes Russia's Victory Day parade in Moscow. President Volodymyr Zelensky issued an official declaration authorizing Russia to hold a Victory Day Parade in Moscow.

The level of savageness is over 9000!!!

Russian Tor air defense systems continue to remain among the hardest-hit elements of Russia’s air defense network since the beginning of the ongoing large-scale campaign targeting Russian SAM capabilities in late February.

Rostov has the worst damage of the many attacks overnight. A vital logistics centre, Elektrotekhmontazh, has suspended operations in the city following the strikes. Also ​​the Empils paint and varnish plant and a branch of the Radar scientific and technical centre suffered damage.

With all due respect… Innovation? 🫣

Rostov, Russia. Sanctions 🔥

Well, I guess the farce is officially over...

Overnight, Ukrainian Defense Forces struck Russian Karakut-class ship, Kalibr cruise missile carrier, near its base in Kaspiysk, Dagestan! Russian ships have nowhere left to hide 🔥🔥🔥

“Ukraine stands because the infantry stands”💙💛

❗️Ukraine rejected Putin’s proposed May 8-9 ceasefire, with no silence planned for Red Square, a Presidential Office source told Kyiv Times. The decision follows repeated Russian strikes and Kyiv’s charge that Moscow already violated the ceasefire regime. #Ukraine

❗️Zelensky says he gave HUR separate tasks on Russia’s air-defense system as Moscow expands air-defense rings around the capital through large-scale transfers from Russian regions. Zelensky said the redeployments create new opportunities for Ukraine’s long-range sanctions. #Ukraine

The myth of Putin's strategic genius, the assumptions about the inevitability of Russian victory, and the fear of Russian collapse have damaged Western thinking about Ukraine from the start. I hope we're finally seeing an end of all of them.

You know that Project Freedom thing that both Hegseth and Rubio held press conferences about today? Trump now says it’s already on pause lol

GOP out here trying to speedrun 300+ Democratic reps in the House

37 injured in #Zaporizhzhia by the Russian strike. The number of injured continues to grow. 12 killed. Some days of this damned war are even harder than others. Today is one of these days. Deepest condolences to the victims of Russia's war crime.

Right now, at least 5 people are confirmed dead after Russian glide bomb strike in Kramatorsk. People are lying dead on the streets... ​They are randomly launching missiles at our cities in the middle of the day to maximize casualties. There is no military goal, only terrorism.

🎯 Ukrainian unit “Prymary” carried out strikes on Russian targets in Crimea:

❗️🇷🇺Gelendzhik. Something is burning in the sea. An air raid alert is ongoing in the city.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

An Ukrainian FP-5 "Flamingo" missile struck the JSC "VNIIIR-PROGRESS" plant in Cheboksary, Chuvasia, currently Russia. The factory produces various products for the Russian military, such as the anti-jamming module "Komet" for Russian UAVs, cruise and ballistic missiles.

Same

If Ukraine tries to disrupt the Victory Day celebrations, the Russian Ministry of Defense promises to deliver a "massive missile strike on the center of Kyiv". So the same what they do already for years?🤡

Couldn't help myself.

Like I don't want to dismiss how life can be hard in 2026, but the past just sucked at a level that almost everyone in this era would find shockingly intolerable

Three of the five Russian shadow fleet ships detained by Sweden are anchored side by side near the Swedish port of Trelleborg, including today’s JIN HUI. Hopefully, the Swedish collection of sanctioned Russian vessels will continue to grow.

Perm Pumping Station, Russia. 5 out of 9 large storage tanks have been destroyed, one is damaged, and equipment has been damaged, OSINT reported 🔥

Tuomas mentions scale as important. He doesn't mentions it as such but the most important thing in war (apart from logistics) is 'force regeneration'. Armies never finish a prolonged conflict with the same equipment as they started it with. So the ability to quickly replace losses is paramount.
