Together with the other branches of Ukraine's Defense and Security Forces, the Ukrainian Navy has achieved what many believed was impossible. Russia has lost the Black Sea. Beginning with the liberation of Zmiinyi Island and continuing through our operations against the Russian fleet, ports, and the occupying forces in our Crimea, we keep proving that this region – the Black Sea region and the Sea of Azov region – will never be a place of peace and quiet for Russia.
On the eve of Ukrainian Navy Day, I honored our warriors defending Ukraine as part of our Naval Forces. I presented the battle flag and the ribbons “For Courage and Bravery” to Navy military units. I thank everyone for their service.
And today, on the occasion of this year's Ukrainian Navy Day – and as a sign of respect and gratitude to our Naval Forces – I have made a decision for the future of Ukraine's Naval Forces and for the future of our Odesa. The decision to establish our own strong new Naval Academy in Odesa. I know this is something our Naval Forces need. We have the capacity to make it happen, and, most importantly, our cadets and our young people have the desire to serve Ukraine and defend Ukraine. We will definitely accomplish all our tasks.
We are doing everything we can to defend Ukraine, all of Europe, and the European way of life.
Please stay active.
Please help us bring our people home from Russian captivity – our children, prisoners of war, civilian hostages, including three OSCE officials.
Please keep helping us protect our people through your political leadership and practical decisions.
Please also support our efforts for diplomacy – so that this war ends through negotiations, NOT through more destruction, which is exactly what Russia wants.
Help make sure our air defense – our Patriot systems – never run-out of the missiles they need.
That is what saves lives.

Bill Maher delivers a surprising moment on air as he calls out the slaughter of CHRISTIANS in Nigeria that the media refuses to cover.
“If you don’t know what’s going on in Nigeria, your media sources SUCK,” Maher said.
“You are in a BUBBLE. I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria.”
“They’ve killed over 100,000 since 2009. They’ve burned 18,000 churches… They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this?” he asked.
Maher’s diatribe drew a huge reaction from the crowd, and a big THANK YOU from Rep. Nancy Mace for bringing it up.
“Absolutely,” Maher responded.
@nasirjawed@BenGreenJeru@Mr_Andrew_Fox Palestinians did NOT exist before 1948. The Jewish People did. The word Palestine did NOT exist before The British Mandate. This chart is 100% historically false!
A country that beheads enemy soldiers has no place in the Olympics.
A country that rapes and tortures soldiers and civilians has no place in the Olympics.
A country that is led by an individual that is wanted by ICC for war crimes, has no place in the Olympics.
“MASTERFUL.” A Texas judge waited until AFTER Governor Gregg Abbott publicly announced he’s seeking a pardon for a man convicted of murdering BLM protester, to release all of the man’s racist social media posts.
“Now Abbott is on record publicly and loudly demanding a pardon for a self-proclaimed racist and convicted murder,” points our columnist Brandon Friedman.
To say this puts Abbott in a serious situation is an understatement.
The Texas State Board of Pardons and Paroles, who were appointed by Abbott need to make a recommendation before Abbott can issue the pardon.
“If he backs down, he looks like a feckless idiot who didn't know what he was doing. If he moves forward, he pardons a Stormfront nazi-type dude for what clearly looks like premeditated murder,” Friedman adds.
Gregg Abbott is a disgusting human being.
Meet there billionaire tycoon who has been showering Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas with millions of dollars in gifts and vacations for years, in one of
The most open and obvious corrupt schemes in modern American history.
Here’s how it works: Harlan Crow, a business magnate and real estate developer from Texas, gifts Thomas and his wife extraordinary gifts like super yacht trips and private jet rides. In return, Thomas rules from the bench in a way that benefits Harlans business and bottom line at the expense of the masses.
This is what corruption on the highest levels of Government looks like.
MAJOR BREAKING: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni Thomas have received lavish gifts for over 20 years from GOP mega donor Harlan Crow, and have failed to disclose them, according to a major scoop by ProPublica.
The gifts include luxury vacations, flights on Crow's private jet, and stays at his exclusive, private resort.
If the Thomases had to pay for the chartering of the jet and yacht, "the total cost of the trip could have exceeded $500,000," the report concludes.
This is a major ethical concern that a Justice of the highest Court in the land should have disclosed, and any decent Justice would resign.
Any decent body of Congress would impeach Thomas.
This is Kansas House Speaker Daniel Hawkins (R). He just passed a new anti-LGBTQ bill that allows for forced genital inspections of children in order for them to play sports.
Republicans are currently working to pass these types of bills across the country.
