Ondanks dat Rusland het Oekraïense energiesysteem blijft bestoken en Kyiv klaagt over een tekort aan Patriot-raketten, blijft de 🇺🇦 bevolking "standvastig en bereid om de tegenslagen te doorstaan".

“Russia has been attacking its neighbours for over 100 years. To stop the war, there should be concessions on the Russian side," EU foreign affairs chief @kajakallas.bsky.social Kaja Kallas said 📹: euronews/EuropeToday

In @trouw.nl: interview door Cees van der Laan met de historicus uit #Lviv, Yaroslav Hrytsak. "Kozakken hadden een sterke vrijheidsdrang en een intrinsieke hekel aan bestuurders en overheden. Die kozakkencultuur zie je terug in de Oekraïense vrijheidsdrang.” www.trouw.nl/ts-b9b869ff/

Door Russische aanvallen op ⚡ onderstations is de hoeveelheid elektriciteit die door Oekraïense kerncentrales wordt opgewekt gehalveerd. De 🇺🇦 militaire inlichtingendienst waarschuwde eerder dat Rusland probeert kerncentrales van het elektriciteitsnet af te sluiten door onderstations te vernietigen.

This diagram is in Polish, but fairly easy to understand. The upper section is U.S. assistance for Ukraine during the Biden and Trump admin The lower is russian drone and missile attacks during the same time frame Tell me more about how Trump's negotiations are working.

‼️ More than 1,400 Kyiv apartment blocks remain without heating, Zelenskyy says

De Oekraïense minister van Buitenlandse Zaken Andriy Sybiha roept de Europese Unie op de toegang te ontzeggen aan Russen die tegen Oekraïne hebben gevochten. Hij noemt Estland, dat al begonnen is met zo'n zwarte lijst, als bewijs dat zo'n mechanisme werkt.

Ex-collega @marijntriovrt.bsky.social maakte een indringende documentaire over het leven na het front, vanavond op VRT Canvas om 21u20 / 120.000 veteranen in Oekraïne leven met amputaties: "Als het vandaag vrede wordt, moeten we nog 10 jaar prothesen maken" vrtnws.be/p.JNnXv4kYo

🤬 At the Konotop station, the enemy used a drone to hit a locomotive that was supposed to join a passenger train. The track was damaged in the Sumy region. The drone also hit a service car in which railway workers were heading to repair a section of the track: one worker was injured.

Ukraine’s General Staff says Defense Forces struck a Russian airborne command post near Sudzha in Kursk region and hit an ammunition depot near Novooleksiivka in occupied Kherson region. It also confirmed destruction of an FPV drone warehouse near Rostov-on-Don, with about 6,000 drones destroyed.

Frankrijk bereidt zich voor op de overdracht van meer Mirage 2000 gevechtsvliegtuigen aan Oekraïne en heeft een intentieverklaring getekend voor de start van gezamenlijke wapenproductie in beide landen. Ook krijgt het Oekraïense leger een "recordaantal" AASM Hammer precisiegeleide luchtbommen.

Last night, russia struck Bohodukhiv in the Kharkiv region, with drones. One of the strikes hit a private household, which was completely destroyed. Rescuers recovered the bodies of 2 victims from the rubble: a woman and a 10‑year‑old boy‼️ 3 more people were injured.

💔 1 man has already been confirmed killed in russias brutal attack on Odesa during the night, at least 2 more people are badly injured. A 24-story residential building, a fitness center, were hit & several surrounding buildings have been damaged, including massive amounts of windows blown out.

Ouderen in Oekraïne: "In plaats van het rustige pensioen dat ze verdienen, krijgen ze Russische bombardementen." Thread 🧵👇

❄️ While the Kremlin attacks Ukraine’s energy in the cold, here’s what you won’t hear elsewhere: Their missiles now come straight off the production line—January 2026 stock. The Soviet and North Korean supplies are gone. Russia is out of missiles, money, and time.

📡 Starlink is sinds 2022 van vitaal belang voor de verdediging van Oekraïne. Tegelijkertijd kwam de technologie ook in Russische handen, en groeide eigenaar Elon Musk onder Oekraïeners uit tot een controversieel figuur, legt de @kyivindependent.com uit:

Ukrainian POWs were forced to exhume civilians killed by Russia in Mariupol. Marine Serhii Hrytsiv: “Over four weeks, we dug up around 800 civilian bodies.” Russia made prisoners clean up the crime scene — then blamed them for it, Slidstvo.Info reports. 1/

This is an important step forward. Ukraine’s defense industry has significant untapped export capacity, and many companies have been calling for this decision for some time. Opening exports will help Ukrainian defense firms attract additional capital, scale production, and become more competitive.

"Twee massale aanvallen, met slechts enkele dagen ertussen, die extreem veel schade hebben toegebracht aan het burgerleven in Oekraïne; mede dankzij de president van de VS." - @phillipspobrien.bsky.social

OTD in 2022 I gave Emmanuel Macron my personal assurances that I would not invade Ukraine. So you can trust any promise we make now.

Oh, here comes another wave of insanity. Ukraine is now supposed to surrender in a war it has not lost and willingly ensure its own destruction by Russia because Trump needs to avert a midterm disaster.

Really impressive video of a Shahed being shot down by an F-16 fighter jet from the 107th Aviation Wing of the Ukrainian Air Force. The interception was carried out using the aircraft’s M61A1 Vulcan onboard rotary cannon.

Kyiv. Sunday evening. russia is attacking us with ballistic missiles for the second time today. I just wonder if there’s anything left in our energy infrastructure that hasn’t been destroyed yet.

In plaats van een vakantie komende zomer in Oekraïne, zoals normale mensen zouden doen, plannen Russen nieuwe offensieven in het zuiden en oosten van hun buurland. "Analisten merken echter op dat het 🇷🇺 leger waarschijnlijk niet over voldoende reserves beschikt om de doelstellingen te bereiken."

Ukraine's Energy Ministry released images of energy facilities damaged in Russian strikes.

Half of Russia's entire budget goes towards military spending: German Intelligence The Kremlin spends much more on the military than they say, which is why deficits are soaring and the economy is collapsing as the war continues. It's also why Russia is returning to the 1990s.📉

russia has attacked DTEK thermal power plants over 220 times. Energy workers continue doing everything in their power to keep the lights on in Ukrainian homes. Help counter russian attacks on energy infrastructure: u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

Oekraïne opent deze maand in Duitsland een productielijn voor 🇺🇦 drones, zegt Zelensky. "Ik zal de eerste drone in ontvangst nemen." Oekraïne begint vandaag met de export van drones. Dit jaar zullen er tien exportcentra zijn in de Baltische staten en Noord-Europa, kondigt Zelensky aan. 1/2

25 years after its launch, Wikipedia remains hugely influential. Its open editing model now faces coordinated "edit wars", where Kremlin-aligned actors rewrite history and cement distorted narratives on one of the world’s most trusted reference platforms. Read more: euvsdisinfo.eu/the-wikipedi...

Wars are fought not just with tanks, but with stories too. Putin’s story is that Russia’s victory is inevitable, while Europe is weak. Democracies can challenge this tale. Read on in my FT essay (gift link if fast) 👉🏼 as.ft.com/r/06908caf-b... #informationwar #ukraine #russia

Ukrainian prisoners of war are the people who most deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, President Sandu said. "Today I watched Ukrainians who returned home from Russia, and these are the people who deserve the Peace Prize," she said

According to the Ministry of Culture, Russia has destroyed or damaged more than 850 libraries in Ukraine since the outbreak of the full-scale invasion: chytomo.com/en/russian-d...

Een bezoek aan Charkiv - met fotoverslag - door @benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org. "Het aantal [luchtalarm] waarschuwingen is zo overweldigend dat je ofwel je leven in een schuilkelder doorbrengt, ofwel de meeste al snel negeert."

Today’s energy schedule for my part of Kyiv 3.5 hours of power out of 24. This is the worst it has been since the start of the full scale invasion. Putin has used Trump’s “peace process” as cover to increase his attacks. Civilian deaths and energy attacks notably up under Trump.

Russia attacked Odesa tonight A fire broke out at an industrial facility. Fortunately, there were no casualties. The fire has been extinguished.

De combinatie van Russische aanvallen en een strenge winter brengt veel Oekraïense ondernemers op de rand van de afgrond. "Het is nu vrijwel ondenkbaar dat een Oekraïens bedrijf zonder generator kan functioneren," zegt de 28-jarige Olha Hrynchuk, mede-eigenaar van een bakkerij.

Russia struck Kramatorsk at 5 a.m. The airstrike killed one person and injured two in a residential neighborhood, damaging at least seven apartment buildings and setting ablaze the third floor of a nine-story building. 📷 Oleksandr Honcharenko/FB, Jose Colon/Anadolu Agency

Russia unleashed another day of terror on Zaporizhzhia Oblast. One woman was killed. Eight civilians injured, including a 7-year-old boy. Guided bombs on villages. Shahed drones on homes. Artillery without pause.

In week 206 van de aanval op Oekraïne bombardeerde Rusland energiecentrales, logistieke infrastructuur en woongebouwen met in totaal meer dan 2000 aanvalsdrones, 1200 geleide luchtbommen en 116 raketten. Zelensky: "En dit gebeurt zelfs terwijl er diplomatieke inspanningen voor vrede gaande zijn." 🧵

1/2 Six people have been injured after massive indiscriminate shelling in Kherson. Or maybe it was deliberate shelling by Russia of central, residential areas, with multiple rounds of MLRS shattering homes, building and lives. #RussiaIsATerroristState

2/2 Russia destroyed houses, shops and cafes in its horrendous rocket attack on Kherson. The last photo here also shows one of the few medical facilities still working in the city, where the roof, doors and windows were all ruined.

"Poetins steeds verdergaande inzet van de winter als wapen spiegelt Stalins gebruik van hongersnood tegen de Oekraïners bijna een eeuw eerder. Beide wreedheden vinden hun oorsprong in een huiveringwekkende, genocidale logica (...)"

“Russia’s strategic situation, because of its aggression against Ukraine, has not improved but worsened,” said Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, speaking in Chicago.

🇷🇺 Oorlogsmisdaden. De 'Coalition of the Willing' staat erbij en kijkt ernaar.

Iedereen kent denk ik inmiddels wel de #Holodomor (голодомор), de door Rusland veroorzaakte hongersnood die miljoenen Oekraïeners het leven kostte. Mijn vrienden in Oekraïne spreken nu van de #Kholodomor, (холодомор) Dood door Vorst.

3 minutes of pure, unfiltered russian tears about Starlink shutdown: “In a single night we utterly descended into the Stone Age 😭” “We don’t have internet to aim our missiles 😭” Music to my ears 😁
