Ukraine suffers one of the heaviest & most prolonged aerial assaults of the war as russia launches over 250 drones & 14 ballistic missiles at civilian targets in Kyiv alone. With air alerts for 7+ hours its citizens feel the weight and reality of putin's real plans for peace.....annihilation

❗️Apocalyptic scenes from Kyiv. A night of terror and fire that no one should ever endure. This is not just another strike. This is Russia’s ongoing campaign of terror against civilians — deliberate, relentless, and merciless.

Lt Gen Kirillov, the commander of Russia’s chemical, biological and radiation defense forces, was assassinated this morning in a scooter bombing outside his home in Moscow. t.me/rian_ru/273237

Usual response from NATO & European countries. Due to Russia's large missile & strike drone attack on Ukraine this morning, Poland said it scrambled military aircraft & took the dust sheets off its air defences. Jets will aimlessly fly around for a bit & land due to boredom. x.com/DowOperSZ/st...

As soon as the temperature in Ukraine goes down, russian psychos attack our energy grid again. It's Аnother attempt to leave Ukrainians with no power, heat, and water in the dead of winter. ⚠️ Kinzhal, Kalibr, Kh-101 missiles are all over Ukraine at the moment.

⚠️ Ukraine's energy infrastructure is under a Russian missile attack. Strikes hit the Burshtyn TPP (Ivano-Frankivsk region), causing increased power outages across the country. Emergency blackouts also in Kyiv—schedules suspended.

Kyiv. The subway is used as a shelter. Instead of good sleep and school, our kids hide from missiles. #StandWithUkraine 📷: Yan Dobronosov/Telegraf

This Friday morning, think of the millions of people living in Ukraine - a nationwide air alert has been underway for hours with civilian areas hundreds of km behind the lines being attacked by multiple waves of Kinzhal hypersonic & Kalibr cruise missiles, and Shahed drones #russiaIsATerroristState

This film, by Francis Farrell & Olena Zashko, is an incredible insight into the work of military medics from trench to stabilization point in Ukraine, & also their own well-being when constantly dealing with life & death on the battlefield. Go & see it as below or soon online 🇺🇦

Whilst russia's massive missile & drone attack against Ukraine's civilian energy infrastructure is reportedly over this winter's morning, let's not forget that the targeted damage means no heat & light for millions of Ukrainians for the foreseeable future #RussiaIsATerroristState

1/2 Today is the Day of Dignity and Freedom “We remember the true price of freedom for Ukraine and honor all those throughout history who fought for our country, becoming a symbol of dignity for the world,” said President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Georgia's Russian-backed government moves in to brutally break up those protesting the rigged election this morning in Tbilisi.

Not only does Grok think Elon is the most vile human to have an account on X, it would also prefer to post on Bluesky instead of X if given the choice.

1000 days of an incredibly high price we are forced to pay for our Independence, Life and Survival. Sincere gratitude and a bow to all those who have been fighting for these 1000 days at the front and in the rear. We are standing. Glory to Ukraine!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 #1000DaysOfWar

The full-scale invasion day 1,000th. We owe everything we have to a Ukrainan soldier - who’s tired, unwilling, outnumbered, and outgunned, sensing grief and injustice - yet who keeps doing the terrible job every single day to save the world.

1000 days It's hard to believe On day one, we thought we'd hold maybe 3 days, maybe one week. But our people, our warriors, our partners' support, our determination, and faith brought us here. Many tears, deaths, and losses later, Ukraine holds. #1000DaysOfWar #Ukraine

Ukraine is defending itself 10 years. And pays bloody price 10 years

At night, Shahed hit a high-rise building in Glukhiv, Sumy region. 6 people died, including one child. Another 12 people were injured, including 2 children. #RussiaIsATerroristState

The Battle of the Somme ended #OTD in 1916 which included heavy fighting in the snow north of Courcelette between Regina and Desire Trenches. A few years ago I walked this area in similar weather with friends Tim & Mark, and @poppymercier.bsky.social.

Russia just sent ballistic missiles loaded with cluster munitions warheads to the center of the city of Odesa. There are dead and wounded. Zero military objective, just a massacre..again.

Bodies in the streets of Odesa now as Russians have just committed another nazi level atrocity by sending ballistic missiles loaded with cluster munitions into city center.

8 people killed by Russia in Sumy, two of them children - Ministry of Internal Affairs. Several dozen people injured. Over 400 people evacuated from the building. Rescue works continue. It was a Sunday night, people were home, getting ready for the week ahead...

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has ordered North Korean defense industrial enterprises to begin serial production of likely tactical strike drones – an example of how increasing Russian-North Korean military cooperation allows North Korea to learn from Russia's war in Ukraine.

Let the @Bundeskanzler phonecall be the last dying breath of the failed strategy of trading land for "peace" with a genocidal dictator. History keeps telling us that true peace can only be achieved through strength.

There is now some hard evidence that X boosted the Trump campaign and suppressed the Harris campaign. What's to stop Musk from doing the same in other countries? www.threads.net/@profsander....

While Elon mocks Ukraine, Russia is carrying out one of the biggest missile barrages on Ukrainian cities in recent months. Millions of civilians in shelters, explosions in Kyiv, Dnipro, Rivne, Lviv and Mykolaiv, as critical infrastructure and power stations targeted ahead of the winter.

The horror that Russia is inflicting upon the farmers of Kherson is going unreported. Let me tell you a few things. The road between Stanislav and Oleksandrivka is heavily mined by Russian drones. They drop mines from things like mavics to cover the roads and the areas around the roads

However, nothing was actually done to protect the civilians of an attacked country from a massive aerial onslaught. NATO members US & UK afford this protection to Israel & take necessary action. Get a grip in the West. Pathetic. #russiaisaterroriststate #letUkrainestrikeback

So, how many more world leaders want to call Putin and say, “Oh dear, we condemn you for launching missiles at Ukraine. Could you please stop?” And then imagine him going, “Oh, right! What a terrible oversight. I’ll stop immediately.”

Trump called Putin for peace over Ukraine. Then Scholz called Putin to ask for peace. Then Putin started one of the biggest missile attacks on Ukraine, from all possible means: land, air, sea Why do these people pretend they don't understand the game? Putin humiliates them. bsky.app/profile/oksi...

Russia increases Ukraine drone attacks by 44% since Trump election,- ABC News Putin really took that ‘stop the war’ message to heart, didn’t he?

Each of Trump's proposed appointments is a surprise. It is comforting to think that he is simply a vengeful old man, lashing out. This is unlikely. He and Musk and Putin have been talking for years. And the whole idea was that this time he had a plan. snyder.substack.com/p/decapitati...

“No decisions without Ukraine”: Warsaw to host crucial Ukraine war talks, including France, Germany, and Ukraine, as tensions rise over Scholz-Putin call, the first in two years.

What do your children learn in school? Ours learn not to pick up or touch explosive objects. And spoiler: they still do, regularly. Because they are children. Russia has littered half of Ukraine with mines and bombs that will continue to kill Ukrainians for generations to come.

Oleksandra Matviichuk is a Ukrainian human rights lawyer and civil society leader based in Kyiv. Since October 2022, she has been Vice-President of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH).

“Russia’s use of sexual violence in Ukraine isn’t just a “consequence of war” – it’s a weapon aimed at breaking spirits and destroying lives. These brutal acts are war crimes that cannot be ignored. Survivors deserve justice, and Putin's forces must be held accountable.“ - Oleksandra Matviichuk👇

Ukrainian Railways & Howard G. Buffett Foundation introduce the “World’s First Food Train” It has a 150m-long, 6-car kitchen on rails named Snowpiercer. Goal - to produce & deliver meals& aid to regions facing logistical and infrastructure challenges. #foodtrain #snowpiercer

In the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukrainian architecture studios conceived promising projects that could be quickly built to house refugees. But more than a year into the war, only a handful of projects have been completed due to lack of funds and governmental support to scale them up.

This turned out to be a very honest discussion. Volodymyr Yermolenko, thank you for facilitating a space where we could frankly reflect on war and death, defiance and resilience, the materiality of memory, and the extraordinary feats of 'ordinary' people. 🎧 soundcloud.com/user-5795865...

This is a momerial in Kharkiv that was opened recently for children killed because of the russian invasion of Ukraine. People keep bringing toys and candles. Paper sign says, "russia murdered them."

Recently, two people told me they wanted peace for Ukraine. The first one said: “I just want peace.” The second: “I want a just peace.” Same words, different order, completely opposite meanings. It may seem like both of them want peace, but in reality, only one.

In contrast to the previous Soviet approach of concealing amputees and war-disabled individuals, Vogue Ukraine's innovative photo project "Visible" is dedicated to highlighting those who remain resilient in the face of Russia's conflict.

Ukrainians are experiencing the loss of limbs both in their courageous defense of their homeland and due to Russian missile attacks. 😭 👇
