Notable message from President Zelensky. The USA is clearly putting pressure on Ukraine to hand over more of its land to dictatorial Russia. Good to see the Ukrainian pushback--but the USA should hang its head in shame.

Bakhmut was a thriving city in the east of Ukraine before Russia invaded and razed it to the ground.

Russia fired nearly 50 ballistic missiles, 1,300 drones, and 1,200 guided bombs at Ukraine in a single week, Zelenskyy says. Energy infrastructure remains the primary target as winter aerial attacks intensify across multiple regions. euromaidanpress.com/2026/02/15/r...

Well, this headline and framing rather buries the lede. It's not that two Latvians in the stands held up the flag of Greenland at a US vs Denmark match, in an arena full of US flags. It's that security told them to quit it for "safety reasons, because there could be American aggressive people."

Polish Deputy Prime Minister of Foreign Affairs Radek Sikorski: “Europe is now paying for this war. We are buying American weapons to deliver to Ukraine. US supplemental package ran out last year. We are paying, this is our security and therefore we deserve a seat at the negotiating table.”

🌹 Love is wanting someone to be safe. Today, I’m thinking of friends who fall asleep to sirens, who text “we’re okay” in the middle of the night, or call to say “we’re back” from the safe house. Holding 🇺🇦 close this Valentine’s Day. If you can, turn love into support. 🙏🏻 See link below 👇🏻🔗

Ukraine's Energy Ministry publishes this video, showing the state of its infrastructure It comes after President Zelenskyy told leaders at the #MSC2026 that every single power station in the land had been hit by Russia. Hitting power stations to affect civilians is a war crime

And my last clip of Ukraine's president is right on the money. He has to be thankful, and says so, for the supply of weapons. But Zelenskyy is absolutely right to criticise the ridiculous delays that always keep Ukraine fighting but no chance of a quick win.

Hello again on Saturday 14 February, but Valentine's Day is no different for Russia, still killing & injuring any Ukrainians they can. Day 1452 of the full invasion, with Ukraine trying make use of Russia's communication problems to push the enemy back. Let's start the daily🧵

Nearly 300,000 people in Ukrainian city of Odesa without power or water after Russian drone strikes - Europe live https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/feb/12/ukraine-russia-strikes-odesa-power-drone-strikes-zelenskyy-putin-portugal-floods-europe-live-news?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other

Zelensky: "We have made many compromises. Putin and his friends are not in prison (!). This is the biggest compromise that the world has already made."

The vigil tonight was quite moving, though obviously difficult. If you weren't watching, I'd encourage you to find video of it later.

Double standards...

2/2 In tonight's ice skating, Petr Gummenik was allowed to compete despite links with Russia's military. His most recent coach Ilya Averbukh has performed across occupied territories & staged performances for military families. And then there's this contradiction..

This evening, President Zelenskyy pointed out to Politico, some of the differences between himself and Putin. "I'm free... I'm younger... he doesn't have much time left!"

🇺🇦 Every flag is a life cut short. And someone dared to suggest that remembering them is a “violation.” Remembrance is not a violation. Erasure is. If you believe that too, join us & @69thsb.bsky.social to deliver the next #NAFO truck 🛻 to the defenders of the 67th. 🙏🏻 See below 🔗 👇🏻

Anyone who supports The Murderer - In - Chief Donald Trump after all this madness no matter how they are related to you is a fucking piece of shit as a person! And fucking stop with I have MAGA friends, but we don't talk politics! It is not politics! It is Good Vs Evil! I. Said. It.

"People are trying to politicize this. It's not about guns. It's not about transgenderism. It's about mental health. It's about a lack of resources. I truly believe that she did everything she could to try to help." - Maya's Mom speaking up for the shooter's mother. #Prayersfortumblerridge

It's Day 1451 of the attempt to wipe Ukraine off the map/ Russian athletes compete at the #WinterOlympics while a Ukrainian athlete is in court right now trying to overturn his ban. This is THE daily thread. Facts not fabrication. Proof not propaganda. Every single day.

Russia's fury at not being able to take any of the fortress belt towns in Donetsk region, knows no bounds. Look at this in Druzhkivka, a town near the frontline, hit with FIVE aerial bombs in a day. No care taken to avoid civilians - 3 more were injured #RussiaIsATerroristState

Zelensky told The Atlantic that Ukraine’s victory would benefit Donald Trump and Republicans. He said Kyiv won’t accept a bad deal, is ready to keep fighting for lasting peace, and that US security guarantees are still unresolved. #Ukraine

If Russian propagandists are fantasising about joining forces with America to fight Europe there is something fundamentally wrong with America.

Thursday 12 February 2026, a landmark day for various reasons. It's Day 1450 of Russia's war. The number of Russians killed or maimed chasing Putin's USSR dream goes over one and a quarter million and a day of shame for the International Olympic Committee. Here is THE daily🧵

Reuters: U.S. HOUSE BACKS RESOLUTION THAT WOULD END TRUMP'S CANADA TARIFFS BY 219 TO 211

I see McDonalds is the latest company to re-register its trademark in Russia. To be fair to them Burger King NEVER left Russia and kept making blood money and contributing to the Kremlin's war chest.

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen: "We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

My grandmother is one of those people who will not have heating this year. The system in her part of the city is too damaged. The temperature outside right now is 16°C. She relies on an electric heater as a temporary solution for her apartment www.dogshirtdaily.com/p/de-iceing-...

New discovery: During excavations in Cologne, archaeologists have unearthed a lararium, a household shrine, dating back to the 2nd century. This discovery is considered unique north of the Alps. Similar examples were found in Pompeii and Herculaneum. www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft... 🏺

An Irish man who has been in US immigration detention for five months has said he fears for his life and is confined in appalling conditions, as international scrutiny grows over the treatment of immigrants held by US authorities. https://cnn.it/4qxgFuf

EU foreign policy chief Kallas said she will propose a list of concessions Europe should demand from Russia as part of any settlement to end the war in Ukraine, Reuters reports. She said conditions must be placed on Russia, not Ukraine, and that no peace deal is possible without European agreement.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

BREAKING: Donald Trump’s name has been redacted from the Epstein files multiple times according to Jamie Raskin. Tomorrow Pam Bondi must be asked straight out why she redacted Trump‘s name from the Epstein files and why she has redacted so many other names from the Epstein files. What is she hiding?

An old favourite over #WestVancouver 🚁 #Vancouver

Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych was banned from using a helmet at the 2026 Olympics that depicted fallen Ukrainian athletes. At the same time, an Italian snowboarder competed wearing a helmet with the Russian flag - which is prohibited and "there was no reaction to this."

Day 1448 and the Daily Thread begins again. If you're not familiar with what it's all about, I bring all the important news of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, without the gory bits. It says a lot that more killings by Russia overnight + over 100 drones fired, yet it's fairly quiet.

Agencies in Ukraine are warning Russia is planning more mass child kidnappings. It seems to be a risk from the start of next month, when Russia states Ukrainian documents showing legal adoption or guardianship will have no legal bearing.

OK I've been on team "he's always ranted incoherently" (after all I posted the crazy Bananas dictator speech regularly during his first term) but this one seems a fair amount more so.

🇪🇺❗️ Putin's anti-rating in Europe A new Gallup International poll has shown that Vladimir Putin has almost no supporters in Europe. Only 37% of voters in Serbia are loyal to the Kremlin dictator.

Ukraine's Foreign Minister has urged the rest of Europe to follow Estonia's lead. Quite frankly, it's incredible choosing to take part in an illegal, not to mention genocidal, invasion of a peaceful country, does not bar you from entering the EU or elsewhere. #StopRussia

A very good Monday morning to you. This new week starts with Day 1447 of Russia's full invasion. Another night of missiles and drones flying across Ukraine has ended as we get nearer and nearer to the 4th anniversary. Every single one of those days I've compiled a daily🧵 , here's another...
