This really p*sees me off about BBC News app. The daily russian war crimes are ignored or rarely mentioned (unless large missile attacks) but these kinds of stories from the occupied territories are on the front page and massively amplified. Perverse bothsidesism.

Epic fireworks display

Ukraine slams St Petersburg as Crimea spirals into fuel catastrophe. youtu.be/qpZFEGHOr9E

Putin's thoughts about the Russian economy vs Ukrainian sanctions on the Russian economy.

Ukrainian drones are flying circles over Saint Petersburg, Russia, showing almost absolute freedom in Russia‘s skies.

💥 Russia: The backdrop for this year's St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is the Port of St. Petersburg on fire, where the Oil Terminal has been struck by Ukrainian drones.

Opinion: "Trump claimed to have destroyed Iran’s missile and drone capacity. Instead, he substantially depleted US arms stockpiles while leaving most of Iran’s arsenal intact", writes Kenneth Roth at @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I wonder where all the stolen food went..

NATO Article 0: When Russia attacks a NATO member and injures civilians, NATO pretends it was an accident and kindly asks Russia to aim better so only Ukrainians get murdered.

FYI this is the test Trump is bragging about “acing” 4 times It’s a fucking embarrassment that his handlers are still letting him gloat about this like it’s some extreme act of intellect

OTD in 1990 at the Washington Summit G H Bush told Gorbachev that the USA would *not* make any promise regarding new members joining NATO. He said USA wanted a "Europe whole and free" and cannot accept agreements limiting nations' rights to choose alliances". That's why Gorby said he didn't get one

US influencers, including Candace, are headed to Russia to see the “beautiful Christian cathedrals”. Per invitation. As Russia murders Ukrainians and injures Romanians, US influencers will record content mesmerized by Russian churches that bless the missiles killing Ukrainians. Don’t overlook that

🇬🇧🇱🇻🇺🇦 The drone coalition, which is jointly led by the UK and Latvia, has transferred to Ukraine more than 215 thousand drones of various types - FPV drones, interceptors and reconnaissance UAVs, — UK Ministry of Defense

Expect a NATO response in the form of a strongly worded statement

The amount of destroyed Russian trucks and other vehicles along the main supply routes in Ukraine's South is mind-boggling. We are talking about more than 100 destroyed vehicles in a matter of around 2 weeks, and this is only what has been published. The number is certainly far higher.

Nebenzya: "So, this is the difference between - I mean, I'm not saying that the war is a good thing, I'm not enjoying it - but I mean, in this kind of hostilities, yes, there are civilian victims, but the difference is that we never go after civilians deliberately."

This is why you should NEVER be reliant on russia for anything. A mafia terrorist racket.

Ukraine's MFA responds to new Russian threats.

The intensity and speed of the reaction suggest the strike may have inflicted far more damage than initially believed.

Oko Gora analysts mapped around 50 geolocated drone strikes on logistics along highways M14 and H20 over the past two months.

There is no such thing as Russian ‘retaliatory strikes’, remember, they’re just regular strikes

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry is updating the Russian Oil Refinery Advent Calendar daily.

The US is not “abandoning” its efforts for “peace” in the Ukraine-Russia war. They were never trying for peace. The Trump administration was trying to get a great deal for Putin, and the Ukrainians refused. Now the Ukrainians have no need of this charade. The war will end when Russia is defeated.

🔥 Ukraine has struck 24 / 33 refineries! At this moment, only two (!) Russian refineries remain outside UAVs range - Omsky and Angarsky.

❗️Destroyed 🇷🇺Russian logistical vehicles are starting to accumulate along the roads approaching the temporarily occupied Mariupol.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Today I'm ashamed to be British

Southampton fans outside Wembley on Saturday

The next time somebody says Putin came to “save Russian speakers,” this was my Mariupol just 7 years ago. It was Ukrainian, mainly Russian-speaking, and already safe. They just wanted our homes🙏🇺🇦

🔥 SBU clarified the results of the attacks on Moscow and Crimea In the Moscow region, the following were hit: ▪️ Angstrem plant, semiconductors; ▪️ Moscow Refinery; ▪️ Sonechnogorsk oil pumping station; ▪️ Volodarskoye oil pumping station.

Last night saw Ukraine's largest ever attack on moscow. "Welcome to the party, pal"

Remember how *hysterical* Republicans got when Obama bowed to the Emperor of Japan in 2009? Well, here is Trump bowing before the President of China—and not a peep from the MAGA outrage machine.

There is no “free speech” in America, independent journalists, war reporters and frontline voices are constantly throttled, restricted with little explanation and even less transparency. “Appeal the decision.” Appeal what exactly? Nobody even tells you what rule was supposedly broken. 🤷‍♂️

👀 Meanwhile, Kerch Bridge has been closed for ~13 hours and the queue of cars in front of it is growing.

First he abandoned Ukraine and now he is abandoning Taiwan. Sucks to be a democratic friend of the USA these days.

A nice moshing start to the weekend

Russia openly posted a video of a russian drone attack on clearly marked UN vehicles in Ukraine’s Kherson region, bragging with their attack which has nearly killed the UN local director. Some people ask: why do russians post such videos? Here is my THREAD with explanation: 1/x

🇺🇦‼️ For all the barbarity that Russia has committed in recent days, there will be due retribution, — Budanov.

🔥✈️ 🚁🚢 Unmanned System Forces drone units carried out 55 strikes against 23 Russian military targets overnight on May 15 across, Crimea, Taganrog, and Yeysk. Among the targets:

Ryazan In Black

Ryazan Oil Refinery bellows out smoke, as carcinogenic splats (oil rain) now drops on the city after Ukrainian strikes throughout the night.

21:40 | 13/05 Approximate flight routes of our UAVs: 🔴 Red arrow – directions of movement of strike UAVs; According to Russian sources, around 260 drones were reportedly launched; however, these figures and the indicated routes are highly approximate.

#UkrainianView Mala Tokmachka is a tiny Ukrainian village in the Zaporizhzhia region. Before the full-scale invasion, its population was only around 200 people. And yet, the “mighty” Russian army has spent some 1,500 days assaulting the village — without any success yet.

⚡️Russian forces ordered to behead, display bodies of 2 fallen Ukrainian soldiers, General Staff reports. "By desecrating the bodies of fallen soldiers, the occupiers have once again demonstrated their sadistic nature and excessive, ostentatious cruelty."

F*cking russian terrorists.

Beautiful moscow nightscape

The Trump administration is now openly stealing from Europe. They are taking in funds through PURL, supposedly to provide arms for Ukraine, but refusing to deliver the weapons. www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/202...

The least surprising news of the day..

"Heroes" of the so-called "SMO" are going to fight NATO.
