We currently see no signs from Russia that it wants to end the war. We see no basic steps toward de-escalation. Everyone is talking about diesel and forgetting about grain. In a month or two, everyone will start talking about an agricultural crisis. There won’t be enough food for countries across Africa, some Asian countries, and the Middle East, because we export millions of tons of grain to these very markets. And now Russia is blocking the sea.

The United States isn’t feeling the effects of this, which is why the focus is only on energy. This is another challenge. It’s hunger. And it can affect many countries. And we need to think about everything and everyone, because we all live on this planet. We can prevent many different crises before they even begin and avert the challenges they bring.

Ten more Iranian protesters scheduled to be executed tomorrow. Two protesters were hanged in Iran today.

You all watching war headlines but no one talks about the war being imposed on us Iranians by our own regime that hanging its own people in silence.

They are people who said: we want freedom.

If no one speaks, they kill more people.

Share this. Scream.

As I watched this video, my heart was filled with both joy and ❤️‍🩹 at the same time.

Look at this little boy. He is standing at the train station, not yet knowing that he is about to hear the words he has been waiting for-that he is going home, to Ukraine. Then look at his eyes the moment he finds out. So much happiness in a single glance.

And at the same time, so much pain.

Because of Russіа, thousands of Ukrainian children have lost their homes. Thousands have been forced to leave Ukraine. And no matter what anyone says, it is hard. Especially for children. They miss their homes, their bedrooms, their friends, and the places they love. They simply want to go home.

Watching the joy in this little boy’s eyes brought me to tears. I’m sitting here crying.

Because every child deserves to grow up at home, not to dream of returning one day, but to simply live in their own country, in peace.

While the world's cameras are fixed on the five-day state funeral of Khamenei, the Islamic Republic is silently killing this 23-year-old girl with a slow death.

Raheleh Moeini, a biomedical engineering graduate of Amirkabir University, had traveled back to Iran from Italy to visit her family. On January 18th, in Saadatabad, Tehran, she was shot by security forces and at that very moment, bleeding and wounded, she was abducted and transferred to Qarchak Prison. Her family spent weeks not knowing where she was. Whether she was alive or dead.

Now Branch Tehran’s Revolutionary Court, has issued its verdict. One year for being on the street where they shot her. One and a half years for having a Twitter account. Two years banned from leaving the country. This regime first put a bullet in her, then put her on trial.

Be the voice of Raheleh Moeini.

We must keep talking about Kherson. Russіans are huntіng civilians.
This is hоrrifying. And word must never become accustomed to it.

The more voices speak about Kherson, the greater the chance that the world will hear what is happening there.

[Olena Rohoza @OlenaRohoza]

Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a brilliant move—arguably his best in recent times—by writing a letter to Putin. If that letter reaches Putin unedited, it may be the final blow to the old man. Putin lives in a world of illusions created around him: illusions about Zelenskyy, about Ukraine, and about the real situation on the battlefield. Zelenskyy, however, addresses Putin directly, as an adult speaking to another adult—mercilessly, without unnecessary diplomatic wording or softening phrases, sparing neither his pride nor his dark, aging soul. Zelenskyy has become the first person to truly stir the stagnant waters of the Kremlin.

After reading the letter, Putin would realize that every one of his moves, every lie about the war, every fabricated success story about the Russian military and the Russian economy is known in detail in Kyiv and discussed there with laughter. Ukraine is fully aware of Russia’s internal problems, of the shrinking resources available to the state, and of the growing frustration among Russians living in an increasingly restrictive country. Ukrainians know that many Russians oppose a second wave of mobilization. They know about the Kremlin’s plans to expand the war in other directions. They see that the Kremlin can no longer force its people to endure such conditions indefinitely. Putin can no longer buy loyalty the way he once could—because both the money and the political strength are running out.

Zelenskyy understands Putin’s vulnerabilities and strikes them with precision and elegance when he writes that Putin never believed the war would last this long. He never expected Ukraine to launch full-scale resistance from the very first day of the invasion. He never imagined that so many countries would unite against him and in defense of Ukraine, providing weapons, financial support, and political backing. Meanwhile, Russia has spent these years accumulating little more than sanctions and international hostility. And of course, Zelenskyy reminded him of Yevgeny Prigozhin and his mutiny—something Putin is unlikely to appreciate.

Zelenskyy wrote that he understands the Kremlin’s plans for continuing the war for years to come. But Putin does not understand that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are stronger today than ever before. And for every ballistic missile Russia relies upon, Ukraine will eventually find even more missiles and means of response.

The most important part of the letter is the proposal to seek ways to end the war through direct dialogue between Ukraine and Russia. At the same time, Zelenskyy rejects the idea of a meeting in Moscow. After 26 years in power, 13 of them spent waging war against Ukraine, there is nothing for Zelenskyy to do in Moscow—just as there is nothing for Putin to do in Kyiv.

“If you personally do not come to the conclusion that this war must end, Ukraine will continue fighting for its existence. We will have those who support us. But you will have to fight much harder for your own existence—not Russia’s, but your personal one. And this is not a threat from me or from Ukraine. These are the facts of Russian history, which you know very well: when Russia grows tired, change comes. We can help create that fatigue. You can stop the war. Eternal memory to all who have died.” — Volodymyr Zelenskyy

P.S. Friends, be sure to read Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s letter to Putin. You may find genuine aesthetic satisfaction in seeing how one young and intelligent president calmly and dignifiedly put another—old and foolish—president in his place.

وقتی سفیر حقوق بشر بریتانیا در سازمان ملل بگوید اعدام‌ها در ایران «نفرت‌انگیز» است، یک پیام روشن دارد:
موج اعدام‌ها نباید پشت بی‌تفاوتی دیپلماتیک پنهان بماند.
اعدام زندانیان سیاسی و معترضان دی‌ماه، بخشی از سیاست ایجاد هراس جمهوری اسلامی است و جهان باید اقدام کند؛
«محکوم کردن» کافی نیست.

Let’s settle this once and for all: Ukrainian cities have Ukrainian names — not Russian ones.

When Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons, America was part of international assurances that Ukraine’s sovereignty and borders would be respected.

This is a moment for American leadership — moment for America to show it can honor its international treaty obligations.

Zelenskyy’s Gulf region tour confirmed Ukraine’s status as a rising military power in a shifting geopolitical landscape. After four years of war with Russia, Ukraine boasts Europe’s largest army, trains NATO troops, and leads the world in drone warfare

Nobody is arguing against peace talks.
We are arguing against mounting pressure on the victim - Ukraine, and the appeasement of the aggressor - Russia.

The war must end, but not at the cost of the Ukrainian people, who have already suffered enough for a hundred lifetimes.

[WarMonitor🇺🇦🇬🇧 @WarMonitor3]

There is a massive hole clearly in the Russian air defences layers north of Ukraine headed towards the Baltic Sea, 4 days in a row Ukraine has been able to conduct massive drone strikes in a row.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

In Europe, we must have full capacity to produce all types of air defense systems and missiles for them. This includes protection against drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic threats.

We cannot rely on other partners’ industries. We must be confident in our own industry here in Europe. Please, let’s keep moving this work forward and speed it up.

And while we are building this capacity, please remember that we need protection from Russian missiles every single day. I am grateful to those of you who actively support us through the PURL program – it’s critically important.

Ukraine is under a huge daytime drone attack right now.

100+ drones are in the Ukrainian airspace with additional launches reported.

Victor Davis Hanson just revealed something that stopped me in my tracks.

Israel is not just targeting Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders. They are specifically going after the officers who k!lled protesters — the people who ran checkpoints and shot Iranians in the streets during the January uprisings when the regime massacred thousands of its own citizens.

And they're calling them first.

VDH described one exchange: an Israeli contact reached an IRGC officer and told him he was a d∗ad man. The officer's response: 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘩, 𝘐'𝘮 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨.

He did do something wrong. He k!lled protesters. And Israel knows exactly who he is, where he is, and what he did — because Iranians inside the country are feeding them the intelligence. Cell phones. Starlink. A population that h∗tes this regime so deeply that ordinary citizens are calling in GPS coordinates of checkpoints from their apartment windows.

This is what Israeli intelligence penetration of Iran actually looks like in practice. It's not just satellites and signals. It's millions of Iranians who want this regime gone and are willing to risk everything to make it happen.

VDH also reveals the division of labor in this war: 𝗜𝘀𝗿𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹. 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴. Israel wants three to four more weeks to finish the job on command and control.

There's also a sobering note: Iran apparently had significantly more missiles than anyone estimated — possibly 3,000 to 4,000. They're still firing cluster bomb munitions, which are uniquely difficult to defend against because the bomblets scatter on detonation and overwhelm point defenses. That's why residential neighborhoods are still being hit.

But the bigger picture VDH is painting is this: the Iranian people are not bystanders in this war. They are active participants — feeding coordinates, making calls, pointing lasers. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.

That IRGC officer was wrong about one thing. He did do something wrong. And someone who loved Iran enough to risk their life made sure Israel knew about it.

[Decado @ItsDecado]

This is the absolute only man fit to lead Iran.

He is the only leader the Iranian people actually trust. From the bazaars to the university campuses, his is the only name the streets are chanting.

We did not wait for Western diplomats to pick our future for us. We wrote his name on the walls with the blood of 36,000 fallen heroes during the January uprising. Iranians surviving inside this occupation and the diaspora on the outside are entirely united behind him.

Crown Prince @PahlaviReza is the bridge to a free, secular, and prosperous Iran. He is the only option to finally replace a rabid, global terror syndicate with a nation that stands as a force for good in the Middle East and the world.
