🚀‼️ Russian Roscosmos began placing advertisements on rockets due to financial problems… After the war began, Russia lost about $2 billion in space revenues. Roscosmos’s total losses for 2020–2024 exceeded $1.2 billion.

Last year, my brother stood for 24 hours in the market square of #Haarlem (Netherlands) to raise awareness for #russia's ongoing war against #Ukraine. Today, he is doing it again. But this time, instead of 24 hours, he will stand for as long as he physically can.

🇩🇪 German HX-2 strike drone, which is used by 🇺🇦Ukraine, has been adapted for deployment from boats, - Militarnyi Helsing reported that it successfully conducted the first launch of the drone from a coastal vessel.

Minus one Mi-8 for the Russians.

Yekaterinburg, Ukrainian strike UAVs 'February' carried out a raid to the Urals. The internet shutdown in Russia isn't helping. The distance the drone flew from the DKU is 2000-2500 km. t.me/exilenova_pl...

⚡️ The Nordic Swimming Federation, comprising Denmark, Estonia, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Lithuania, Norway, Iceland, Sweden, and Latvia, announced they will refuse to host international competitions involving Russian or Belarusian athletes after World Aquatics lifted bans.

Friends, meet @joannamendoza.com. Daughter of farmworkers. Veteran of twenty years. Mom. And the Democrat who is going to flip Arizona's 6th District blue in 2026. The polls currently say it's a toss-up. You know what that means? Every single dollar counts.

Residents in Tuapse report worsening air quality and health issues as the port refinery fire is burning for nearly 48 hours after renewed Ukrainian drone strikes. #Russia

For those wondering why NATO exists and why countries want to join the defensive alliance.

Am calling for NATO to close the skies over Tuapse.

"In the event of an attack on Belarus, we, together with the Russian Federation, will use our entire arsenal, including nuclear weapons, as a warning to Ukraine, Poland, and the Baltic states." - Lukashenko.

For a country that "has no cards" and is "going to lose anyway", Ukraine's ambassador to the USA is hardly managing Donald's delicate ego here.

🔥 Ukrainian drones disable two warships and radar station in Crimea. Special forces from Ukraine’s military intelligence agency utilized maritime drones to strike the "Yamal" and "Nikolai Filchenkov" landing ships alongside a Podlyot-K1 radar station in Sevastopol.

If this gets any worse I will have to get some priests visit and pray away the flames.

Day 1517 of my 3 day war. My war now last 100 days longer than our involvement on the allied side* of WW2. We control 30% less of Ukraine than we did 100 days after it started. I remain a master strategist.

No.

1/ Your words carry real weight. Not slogans, not distance, but commitment. A sister city is more than a name on paper. It’s people choosing to stand with people. Davis and Uman are tied not just by agreement, but by shared belief in dignity, freedom, and the right to shape one’s own future.

🤯 WOW: For the first time in history, a Shahed drone has been shot down by an interceptor drone launched from a naval platform. This breakthrough was done by Ukraine’s 412th Nemesis Brigade.

Interesting 👀 Ukraine's FP-1 and Liutyi strike drones are now being seen evading ground fire on approach to their tagets deep in the Russian rear. Not sure if we're seeing autonomous or remote piloting, but appears to be new capability either way.

Anyone who claims this will be arrested. Donald may be fucking up in ever more creative ways, but he has not spent more than 4 years losing 1,3 million men to control 30% less of a country than he did after 4 months. 😤😤😤

U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll says Ukrainians have radically changed warfare and the U.S. is already applying their lessons.

Voting on spy powers at 2am will definitely help with trust in the government!

We won't forget how you were very anti-Trump before selling that smug soul for access and power, JD.

This is certainly news to Thom Tillis and North Carolina residents.

1/2 Flash💥 A sitting Republican congressman just called Trump “almost the second coming” of Jesus Christ. Not fringe. Not anonymous. Elected office. On record. This is how political loyalty mutates into something else entirely.

4/4 06.00 260417 There's a war in Tuapse. Local residents in various regions of Russia continue to endure the consequences of the special military operation. - They thought they could bomb peaceful cities and villages in Ukraine with impunity, but the war is now returning to their own territory.

Who Trump is fighting this week... Iran. The Pope. Bruce Springsteen. Riley Gaines. CBS. Candace Owens. Tucker Carlson. Polls. NATO. Biden (always) Umbrellas. Americans. Judges Melania. The human race. Reality. World peace. Voices in his head. Jesus Christ. (the real one)

There is one universal rule. Whenever Moscow is thrown out of a country, mass celebrations happen.

Celebratory dance in Hungary

Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of US Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a brief response to President Trump ⬇️

Happy Anniversary to the Black Sea Fleet’s most successful submarine conversion project! ​It’s been 4 years since the Moskva transitioned into a permanent, high tech artificial reef. ​Raising a glass to the Neptune missiles that made it all possible. Stay salty, Moskva.

People in the Budapest Metro, Hungary, shouting: “Russians, go home!”

MAGA is convulsing on the floor over Orban’s loss, not because they care about Hungary, a place most of them couldn’t find on a map, but because it reminds them their own wannabe authoritarian can be voted out too, and that their movement will end up in the trash bin of history

Just hours until the polls open in Hungary. Tonight in Debrecen, the country's second biggest city, opposition supporters put their lights on. Tomorrow they pray its lights out for Orbán.

Some more good news for you. The first responders who rescued small Karolina and her pregnant mother from the russian terrorist attack in Odesa on April 6 visited them again — this time in joy and with presents. Source: SESU Odesa.

Europe can't match Russia without Ukraine and Turkey, Zelensky says. If the US leaves NATO, the EU will have to handle its own security – and it's not ready. Russia plans to expand its army to 2.5 million by 2030.
