Toretsk. Another town in Ukraine that Russia has turned to ash and ruins. ​Russians who claimed to have come to "liberate" Donbas are only liberating it from life itself.

Russian attack on Kyiv tonight. Home to several million people. Children. Elderly. Families, just like yours.

Russia wants us to discuss who talks to them, And they are already picking who is suitable for that. Let's not walk into that trap. Negotiations are always a team effort, with a defined strategy. That’s why the substance that we discuss today in Cyprus matters much more.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Kaja Kallas: We can’t be mediators, really, because we are defending the interests of Europe and the interests of Ukraine, because Ukraine is also in Europe. We can’t be mediators. We can’t be neutral, treating them equally, because we have been clearly on Ukraine’s side.

Please, donate to the Ukrainian Armed Forces today — the only real force standing between the free world and the russian savage barbarism.

🇺🇦🙏 Zaluzhnyi: A terrible night in Kyiv. Missiles, drones, ballistics. Dead and injured. The world must respond to this evil. Ukrainians deserve more support. Condolences to the families of the dead and injured. Strength and endurance to all who protect, save, help.

This is so outrageous but very predictable. Trump’s ballroom and Arch commissioner is going to Russia to attend Putin’s jewel economic forum. So much corruption that the U.S. is no longer recognizable

💔🇺🇦 Horrifying drone footage of Kostyantynivka, Donetsk region. 20 km from Kramatorsk. Today it is a fire. Burned high-rise buildings, destroyed kindergartens, schools, hospitals, a broken church.

🤡 The Russian Ministry of Defense called this shelling a "retaliatory strike." 💔 Five dead in Kyiv. Rescuers recovered the body of a 12-year-old girl from the rubble of a house in the Darnytskyi district.

Russian drone just bombed a man in Kherson who was just walking down the street. Yes, with a direct strike. The infamous ‘human safari’ Russia loves so much. It sounds as if out of some distopian novel, but it’s a mundane reality for people living here.

It's time to admit that a strong Ukraine is a strong Europe. Ukraine is not a burden on our resources; it is essential to Europe’s security, strength, and future More military aid faster means less war sooner, and innocent live saved www.euractiv.com/opinion/its-...

🔥☢️ A large-scale forest fire has broken out in the Chornobyl zone: the fire has already covered more than 1,100 hectares, — State Emergency Service. Due to strong winds, the flames are spreading rapidly, rescuers are working in an intensified mode.

Following the Iran debacle, Russia expected for April a 200-250 bn rubles (3 bn USD) windfall federal budget revenue from oil compared to the base scenario. Instead, they got only about 21 bn rubles (less than 300 mn USD).

To members of the media: Please pay close attention to the ongoing Russian campaign of terror in Ukraine. ​Over the course of just over 24 hours, Russian strikes have claimed numerous civilian lives:

Europe’s green transition must make us cleaner — not weaker. The Commission’s move to stop EU funding for energy projects using Chinese-made inverters is a necessary step to protect critical infrastructure and reduce strategic vulnerabilities.

Would be cool if media outlets would do their job and start reporting on the Russian mass slaughter of Ukrainians over the last few days, with them randomly throwing missiles and drones at our towns and cities onto busy streets, in broad daylight, to maximize casualties with zero military objectives

Pokrovske, Dnipropetrovsk region. Same street, one year between the footage. Russia's war crime. 📹: toronto_tv/Instagram

Forget that. Russian drones actually bombed 2 passengers busses in Kherson since this morning .

Ben Shapiro on Sam Harris conceded the liberal case against Trump — corruption, coup, dictator-talk — then explained why he'll vote Republican anyway. The most clarifying interview I've read in a year, not about who you'd think. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-most-a...

While the world awaits updates on the negotiations, the Islamic Republic's wave of mass arrests and executions continues amid the imposed total internet blockade. Erfan Kiani, another of Iran's January protesters, was executed today in Isfahan on charges including waging war against God.

Great news! The greatest crook in Moldova, the once almighty oligarch Vlad Plahotniuc, has been sentenced by the Chișinău Court to 19 years in prison for having stolen $1 billion in an enormous bank-fraud case in 2014. Well done, Moldova! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Latest in @theatlantic.com The Ukrainians are now longer pretending that Donald Trump's USA is their friend. Their honesty is important as they seem to understand how much Trump is helping Putin and how important it is that Europe stick together. Gift Link. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

After saying on Wednesday that the Trump administration would not extend a temporary sanctions waiver on Russian oil, the White House did exactly the opposite on Friday and renewed the Russian oil waiver.

💥 Russia: Ukrainian housewife kitchen drones imposed kinetic sanctions on Novokuybyshevsk Oil Refinery in Samara region, 1,100km from Ukraine. 174,000 bpd output. Today, the Trump administration quietly removed paper sanctions on Russian oil at the end of Friday business day.

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

Here is criticism NATO deserves. Iran is doing more to illegally block the Strait of Hormuz than NATO is doing to legally intercept stateless Russian shadow fleet tankers in the Gulf of Finland, the Fehman and Langelands Straits, and the English Channel.

First Kristi Noem, now apparently Pam Bondi. Looks like Trump is simply firing women.

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Politico: The European Commission has urged people to work from home, drive and fly less, and for EU countries to urgently roll out renewables, as it warned of a prolonged energy crisis as a result of the conflict in the Gulf.

🔎NEW INVESTIGATION: The hotline between FM Péter Szijjártó and Sergey Lavrov gives Russia strategic insight into key EU matters. Evidence, including a leaked phone call recording shows Hungary’s FM acted for the Kremlin, pushing to delist sanctioned Russians, with Slovak support.

👀🇺🇦

The Putin Caucus.

Just to be very clear on this, Trump is stealing funds from 750 million dollars that WE EUROPEANS gave to the United States to SUPPORT UKRAINE.

"The US decided that from now on the PURL program will fund its war against Iran and expects European partners to double further contributions immediately. The support for Ukraine will be provided in the form of steady pressure for capitulation. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Lviv is under russian drone attack right now!

🤯You can't make this up: amid Kremlin meddling in Hungary's election, OSCE Parliamentary Assembly sends Putin's former interpreter Daria Boyarskaya – sanctioned by Poland, detained by Lithuania – on an election observation mission to Budapest. More in my newsletter: vsquare.org/goulash-puti...
