Could it be the spirits of his departed buddies? They’re saying “we’re free as a butterfly, keep fighting for Ukraine.”

🕯️ A new day. And again, it's 9 in the morning.

The time when we remember our fallen soldiers. 💔

Those thanks to whom our state is still standing and will continue to stand.🇺🇦

Today, along with others, we remember the Ukrainian Hero  Bogdan Sytnik from Kyiv region.

In 2016, he was doing his military service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where he first embarked on a military path and acquired a sniper specialty.

In civilian life, he tried his hand in various fields, worked in a security company, but his main activity was construction.

Bogdan had "golden hands" and always said:

"What I don't know, I'll learn."

In 2023, he again stood up to defend his native country. 💛💙

He underwent training at a military center in Zhytomyr, and later in the UK.

Bogdan served as a sniper, carrying out combat missions in the most hot spots of the front line.🇺🇦❤️

Unfortunately, on August 19, 2025, in the area of Siversk, Donetsk region, Bogdan Sytnik was killed🙏💔.

He was only 29 years old...

Eternal memory to the Hero and all the fallen defenders of Ukraine!🙏🇺🇦💛💙

Yesterday, russia killed her.

Maria Chmil, 59. Nikopol.

A civilian. A mother. A grandmother. Murdered on the streets.

This is the terror russia inflicts every single day. Sadly, the world keeps looking away.

🇺🇦🫂 “I am home. I am in Ukraine.” These are the words every family of a captured Ukrainian defender dreams of hearing.

Today, 160 Ukrainian defenders who had been held in Russian captivity since 2022 finally came home.

To anyone who takes russia's side and says they are "liberating russian speakers"

Look, just look, THIS is what russian liberation looks like, THIS is the ruskie mir (russian world)

All they know is death.

This is how Russia treats Ukrainian prisoners of war - torture, hunger, terror.
Ukraine will not stop until we get all ours back to safety.

"At first, they tried to endure it, it wasn't as audible. But then those screams intensified, they were inhuman screams."

Tetiana Tepliuk (call sign "Khreshchena", "Godmother"), a military medic of the "Azov" brigade, was taken prisoner at the age of 72 and spent eight months in captivity. Following the evacuation of the garrison from "Azovstal" in May 2022, Moscow officially guaranteed "humane treatment." However, the reality turned out to be exactly the opposite.

The prisoners were brutally tortured, and interrogations were built on fabricated charges. They were exhausted and starved—young captives had to split a single crust of bread among eight people. A state of constant fear reigned in the cells. The slightest violation was met with beatings and humiliation.

In July 2022, an explosion and fire occurred in one of the barracks in Olenivka, claiming the lives of over 50 prisoners of war. According to Tetiana Tepliuk, the prisoners understood, and everything indicated, that this was the work of the Russians.

Nobel Prize winner @avalaina Oleksandra Matviichuk speaks up about human safari in Kherson.

“Simply living in a Kherson becomes an act of resistance.”

[MFA of Ukraine 🇺🇦 @MFA_Ukraine]

Time in Russian captivity works against human life. Over 90% of released Ukrainian prisoners of war and illegally detained civilians report torture, sexual violence, or other forms of ill-treatment.

On this International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, we insist: as Russia does not show desire for peace, it must be compelled to end its war – through effective sanctions, international pressure, and isolation from global platforms.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

Serhii Kernytskyi spent 346 days at a position near Chasiv Yar, killed 23 Russians and took 6 prisoner.

He deliberately let them close to 20 meters before throwing a grenade. He has been nominated for the title of Hero of Ukraine — 24th Brigade.

Throughout that year Kernytskyi kept a video diary — filming attacks, trophies and daily life on his phone. There was no signal, but the phone worked.

Hundreds of short videos survived: a dugout burning after an incendiary device, him counting trophy rifles, frying ribs and cooking soup.

Before the army he was a construction worker from Khmelnytskyi Oblast. He mobilized on November 3, 2024. He expected to stay three months, then maybe six.

It turned into almost a year. When he asked his commander why they weren't rotating him out, the answer was: there are no people, no one to send.

The position was a dugout three by four meters near Chasiv Yar, later named "Kernytska" after him.

On the first day a comrade was killed — a shell punched through the ceiling and left a hole one and a half by one and a half meters.

His close-combat tactic was simple: let the Russians come within 20-25 meters, meet them with a grenade, finish them off. Shooting through the bushes further back made no sense.

Kernytskyi: "So I don't miss. So I have certainty that I will take him down."

In winter he stood watch for two hours at a time — by the third his hands froze so badly he couldn't reload his rifle.

He packed the dugout walls with sandbags and trophy body armor to stop shrapnel. He ran the wood stove pipes far out through brambles and covered them with branches.

He never asked his commander for ammunition, grenades or food — he collected everything from killed enemies.

He accumulated 12 trophy AK-12 rifles, a body armor vest, a laser sight, dry rations and cigarettes.

At the end of January 2026 he was left alone. First one comrade was killed by an FPV drone. Then the second, who had been with him for nearly a year, died from a shrapnel wound to an artery.

Kernytskyi: "In the morning we're laughing, by evening — already the heavenly watch."

When drones spotted a group of 8 Russians moving to take the position, he burned the sleeping bags, stripped the trophy rifles and threw the firing pins into the field.

He walked out alone in a moonless night, moving like a tortoise — his legs barely held after months of concussions.

He could not bring his two fallen comrades out. He covered one lightly with earth. The other remained in the dugout.

Kernytskyi: "I cannot justify myself. How do I explain it to their families. How do I look them in the eyes. It is terrifying."

He is now in hospital — his legs are not functioning after a year of constant concussive blasts. He never thought about an award and did not expect one.

Kernytskyi: "I just wanted to stay alive and see my family. For my family to see me. That was all I had."

Why does the world tolerate russia’s daily human safari in Kherson?

Today, a russian drone struck a civilian car in broad daylight. Again.

A man burned alive inside his own vehicle.

Kherson is hunted every single day — while the world talks about gasoline shortages in russia.

First competitive tender for heavy bombers & middle-strike UAVs is open.
The plan: contract tens of thousands of drones from multiple suppliers.
The same model cut 155mm ammo costs by 16%. Now we scale it to drones.
