Fucking piece of shit

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Trump: "Today is Vladimir Putin's birthday. I'm sure you're going to celebrate it. Are you going to celebrate his birthday? I have a call set up."

What the hell is wrong with you?! Celebrate? You sure? The birthday of a butcher responsible for murdering 25 people in Ukraine today? Who struck an apartment building at 6 in the morning, wiping out entire families, including 5 small kids ON HIS BIRTHDAY!?

​You're sure you want to celebrate such a person instead of maybe mourning his victims? And they laughed in response. They fucking laughed! What the fuck is wrong with these people???

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Now backed by the White House, the bodies of more kids pulled from their homes this morning all over Ukraine, while Putin celebrates his birthday with a huge round of mass murder.

Trump will surely put a call in to congratulate his friend.

Respond, goddammit!

You have the ideal chance to strike back without putting your own skin in the game by arming Ukraine. But no, you’re all "concerned." I’m sure Putin gives a royal fuck about your "concerns."

[Andrew Perpetua @AndrewPerpetua]

I feel like a crazy person when I see people say that EU is trying to de-escalate with Russia.

Putin is ramping up his provocations to get a response. He keeps going up up up.

EU is saying we will not respond to provocations until they cross a certain line. But what line? What response does that line call for?

You aren't communicating where the line is, or how close Putin is to the line, or what the response will be.

The further you move the line, the more extreme the response has to be. Is the line killing civilians? If so, how many? 5? 10? 1000? Without a clear threshold, deterrance fails. Instead, you merely make the ultimate response more extreme.

The response for killing 2 people is going to be a lot less than for killing 20,000. Where is the line?

This is not de-escalation. It is escalation. You are ramping up the response curve. Instead of having small responses to small events and medium responses to medium events, you're setting up a situation where you have no response until something huge happens and then you have a single enormous response.

This isn't how you avoid war, this is how you make war inevitable. You are banking on Putin himself deciding not to cross the line you aren't communicating to him, knowing full well it is in his nature to push until he hits resistance. Strategic ambiguity only works if the adversary believes crossing an unknown line carries immediate peril. But here, ambiguity is being used to cover for inaction, which Putin instinctively feels compelled to probe.

Guys, remember when we raised $150,000 together in 2025 for an AI-powered turret to help protect Ukrainian skies?

Well, we just got a pretty incredible update. We now have confirmation that one of the Sky Sentinel turrets funded through our fundraiser is currently deployed in Kyiv, helping protect the city.

How cool is that? Seriously, this is what your support made possible. You helped put an actual piece of air defense on the ground in Ukraine, and now it’s protecting people every day.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Ukraine is expecting another large-scale Russian attack tonight. Their planes are reported to be in the air already and on their way to bomb Ukraine.

​We are going to spend another night hoping that Russian missiles don't strike our home. It's a deadly lottery, and someone always loses.

​Keep us in your thoughts.

😄 Prague has found the perfect use for Putin — printing his face on dog-poop bags

The idea came from Czech designer and humorist Tomáš Břímek. Part of the proceeds from the bags goes to support Ukraine through the Dárek pro Putina initiative — “A Gift for Putin.”

Keeping the city clean — and the karma clean too.

🚨 South Korea has shipped 176,000 tons of fuel to Russia, mostly diesel, using sanctioned Russian shadow fleet tankers in July and August 2026.
This is why the South Korean government created a fake scandal attacking Zelensky over North Korean POWs.

🧵At 8:24 AM, Moscow declared a perfect score: 559 Ukrainian drones launched, 559 destroyed.

At 8:25 AM, NASA orbital sensors caught two major Russian airbases burning in massive infernos.

When a government writes its own scorecard, it stops governing and starts golfing. 1/🧵

Вот он "русский мир" во всей своей красе. Руины, смерть, развалины, уничтоженные города, сожженные деревни, тысячи могил и миллионы изуродованных человеческих судеб.

Посмотрите на эти кадры.

An example of how to sacrifice an entire unit and an entire mission.
Russia and the mirage of being a major military power.

[Rob Lee @RALee85]

"The first word brigade and corps commanders use to describe the first few months of Drapatyi's tenure is 'freedom'. Unlike his predecessor, who would tell some brigade commanders how and where to fight – even specifying the coordinates where a position should be set up – Drapatyi has chosen a different approach. He has opted to decentralize command, moving away from the 'micromanagement' that has already become widely known to the public...

Ukrainska Pravda sources say the move away from hands-on management of brigades and corps has brought another change: Drapatyi no longer spends several hours every day hearing reports from all commanders, as Syrskyi did.

'Syrskyi would hear reports from everyone every day and could give specific instructions on how to respond to developments, including where troops should advance… Drapatyi doesn't do that; that's the job of the troop grouping commanders. Drapatyi focuses on strategic and systemic issues. And when commanders do speak to the commander-in-chief, he isn't interested in a standard report on 'what happened', but in statistics, analysing problems and finding solutions – in other words, what conditions need to be created for a particular commander to accomplish their mission. And that's the right approach,' a senior military officer told Ukrainska Pravda."
