The @KyivIndependent editorial:

A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky

Good to sit down with @MBielieskov to discuss the good, bad, and ugly of where we stand in a struggle that is increasingly showing characteristics of total war.

@JayinKyiv Isn't the bank account thing from 2020? https://t.co/id7Fac7MGs

SCOOP: Kyiv privately told Trump that Russia may not be able to capture the rest of Donbas even in 2027, according to a document I obtained.

Moscow’s battlefield gains have slowed so much that it may struggle to achieve its territorial goals by force.

This was not just another field report for us. Here, we document some of the last remnants of normal life in Ukrainian-held Donetsk Oblast, and show how the gradual creep of Russian drones, glide bombs, and advances are consuming everything in its path.

NEW: Ukraine tried to secure a license to produce Patriot missile interceptors under the Biden admin - but Washington rejected the request without explanation, Ukrainian officials tell me.

Had Washington approved it, Ukraine could already be producing interceptors to defend its cities from Russian attacks.

Laid out the systemic grievances against Commander-in-Chief leadership in the military why Ukraine sees Zelensky’s siding with him over Fedorov has the country furious.

Personal news; after over four years working in Ukraine as a freelance journalist and security analyst and working for many different and excellent publications I’m happy to announce I’ve now joined the Kyiv Independent as a special correspondent.

Russia’s sneaky new missile tactic https://t.co/wZ1kwyIK6r via @YouTube

[Martin Fornůsek @fornusek_martin]

European leaders want the fighting in Ukraine to end. But many also fear that a ceasefire could free a battle-hardened Russian military to probe NATO's eastern flank.

Tucker Carlson presents himself as an American patriot, but he just invited Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout on his podcast to spread Kremlin propaganda. I unpacked some of their many lies for @KyivIndependent. https://t.co/ANj6KkjqAS

Since they arrived on the scene, I've reported from about a dozen different FPV drone positions. When you have a true flying ace in the goggles, a crack team, and plenty of drones, the result is something special.

How do you know the #Kremlin’s #Ireland man is getting worried?

When he puts out a lengthy denial of latest developments, including #Ukraine counter-attacks inside #Russia and Russian-occupied territory

#Crimea

[Chris York @ChrisDYork]

I know it's far from the biggest issue here but how is it possible to be this shit at taking photos?

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

I’m not sure what I was expecting but I wasn’t expecting this.
Moscow is an unbelievably beautiful city.

[Jimmy Rushton @JimmySecUK]

NEW: Ukraine is attempting to strangle Russian logistics with a new drone campaign that might be the most significant development of the war this year.

Trying to infiltrate into Kupiansk, Russian troops crawl 15km through the pipelines, constantly trying to build new exits.

The main issue is that the pipeline is "almost impossible" to destroy, “Abat,” the deputy commander of Khartiia Brigade, says.

The UK's Russia sanctions debacle is being pitched as more about clumsy communication than going backwards on sanctions.

For me the issue is Westminster published third-country exemptions on Russian oil *the same day* it signed a G7 statement pledging the exact opposite.

@RhonddaBryant – isn't this hypocrisy?

[Jimmy Rushton @JimmySecUK]

NEW: Ukraine has gained the upper hand in all sectors of the drone war, I argue in my latest piece for the Kyiv Independent.

Kyiv's advances in the drone technology race presents a series of compounding problems that Russia cannot easily solve.

[Jimmy Rushton @JimmySecUK]

Important follow up to The Kyiv Independent's investigation into the "dangerous" and "reckless" Yellow Ribbon and Zla Mavka initiatives, which asked Ukrainians living in the occupied territories to perform "suicidally" dangerous acts of "non-violent resistance".

[Asami Terajima @AsamiTerajima]

Inside the surprise counterattack operation in the southeast, where Ukrainian soldiers snuck behind the Russian rear to gradually advance through drone-infested “gray zone.”

Secrecy was paramount. The op details were kept to as small circle as possible.

[Francis Farrell @francisjfarrell]

Victory Day and Ukraine's deep strike success has triggered a wave of positive energy for fans of vibes-based analysis.

But the most important indicator of the war's course remains the front line itself. The news there is also promising.
