Think of your home town. All the places you spent as a child, your parents’ house, your first workplace. Now imagine every day there’s a terrorist attack there and all these places are getting damaged. I don’t need to imagine, because I am Ukrainian and this is our reality #UkrainianView

Pairing attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid with an information campaign to undermine public morale, the aim is clear: if Putin can’t win through military strength, it will aim to crush the resolve of Ukrainians to keep fighting. 2/23

Anastasia Masliy was 19 years old. Russia killed her last night in Kyiv, along with her mother. The women suffocated in their own bathroom, hiding from the fire started by a Russian drone 🕯

What Russians did the last 48h: - Bombing a kindergarten in Kharkiv - carpet bombing of Kherson with unguided MLRS fire - hunted farmers on their fields with FPV drones - Killed a 84-year old female with a FPV drone - Fired ballistic missiles at Kyiv

Retired intelligence analysts confirm what the political scientists are telling us — and what the world outside is telling us — the goal of these people is the end of law, the end of democracy, and the end of a recognizable republic. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Ukrainian life now: a toddler helps Dad put on his artificial leg.

Today, an estimated 1.6 million Ukrainian children remain in territories occupied by Russia. Cut off from Ukraine’s education system, they are exposed daily to Russian propaganda, militarization, and pressure to abandon their national identity.

Russia is a war machine he set in motion, but it has no brakes. Putin simply cannot stop the military economy and has no idea what to do with his army of thugs who are practically uncontrollable in civilian life. Putin can live and stay in power only as long as the war continues. That’s it.

Folks— this is a must read: it’s Curtis Yarvin 101

Here is a Russian henchwoman admitting to stealing a Ukrainian child!

"I abducted a child from Mariupol and brought him into my family." Russia's Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, has admitted guilt in a war crime - the abduction of Ukrainian children - for which the Hague court issued a warrant.

🇵🇱 "Poland will force Putin's plane to land for arrest," - Foreign Minister Sikorski said that the country cannot guarantee the safe flight of the plane over its territory.

🇱🇹🇺🇦 Former Lithuanian Health Minister Aurimas Pečkauskas worked for two weeks in a combat zone in Ukraine, - LRT. An anesthesiologist by profession, this was his third visit to the country. During this trip, he stayed near the front line, helping doctors, organizing evacuations of the wounded.

Putin’s Propagandists Laugh at Trump for Following Kremlin Orders Russian state media is openly mocking the U.S. and claiming Trump was following Putin’s secret plot to pull a bait and switch on Zelensky. My latest for @thedailybeast.bsky.social: www.thedailybeast.com/vladimir-put...

The regions containing these mineral deposits align with areas targeted or already occupied by Russian forces, including Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. Significant deposits are also located in Dnipropetrovsk, Kharkiv, Poltava, and Kryvyi Rih. #opcanary

Und damit wünsche ich euch eine gute Nacht. 😴

This traitor—who lied for years about having regular secret conversations with Putin, including being part of illegal negotiations with him about Ukraine as he was denying Ukraine war-fighting capabilities—is now our co-POTUS. God help the United States, because apparently we cannot help ourselves.

Best post of the year.

Does anyone have experience with the organization: CFSHealth run by Toby Morrison. They claim that they can help folks with ME. Is this a New Age group? It all looks rather polished & shiny to me to be true. Is it some kind of mind over matter group? The fees are steep. Thank you.
