At least 3 people have been killed and at least 8 injured in a Russian drone strike on Synelnykove - Regional Administration‼️

​A fire broke out on the fourth floor of an apartment building. A store and several vehicles were also damaged.

​An 11-year-old girl is among the wounded.

With voting underway, the Trump administration is trying to stop ballots from being counted, sending federal agents to voters’ homes, and threatening election officials with prosecution. https://t.co/xH2ZWmGh1t

Trump told us he needed Greenland to keep China and Russia out of the Arctic Circle.

Then he gave away Alaska's North Slope to Russia. Just ... invited his buddies in.

In 2003, non-NATO Ukraine deployed over 1,600 troops to the US-led coalition in Iraq, suffering 18 killed and 32 wounded in action.

The deployment marked Ukraine's early role in global security missions.

Have you ever looked at a tormented city and wondered how much devastation it takes to kill it? How much more can it endure? Where is the line after which survivors, if any remain, can no longer rebuild?

​We watch russia raze our cities one by one. At first, a city bravely resists, no one wants to surrender their home, the life they worked to build. Then, staying becomes deadly. Fewer and fewer remain, mostly the elderly, who know they lack the strength to start over. They wander the streets occasionally, and occasionally russians post videos hunting them down with drones... Before long, buildings become ruins as the front line moves in. No one fights the fires anymore. What were once high-rise apartments and offices are now just scattered rubble, reeking of smoke and death.

​It is the same story every time for the cities where the "russian world" could not be stopped, the same kind of pain, the same desolation.

​We watch those cities die. We watch them grow emptier, ever more lethal. With every strike russia delivers, we think this must be the final blow. Yet the city clings to life a little while, until it doesn't, until it can no longer.

​Those cities, those cold corpses of concrete giants, lie scattered across the east. They now form a desert visible from space. They lie there, the hollow windows of shattered homes staring up at the sky like empty eye sockets. Perhaps they would ask "why" if they could, but there is no one left to answer.

«Вирва, здавайся!» — кричали росіяни біля зруйнованого українського бліндажа. Вони вже знали її позивний. Після кількох атак, отруйного газу та потужних вибухів окупанти сподівалися, що українські воїни більше не чинитимуть опору.

Але контужена Олександра Давиденко відмовилася здаватися. Поруч лежали двоє поранених побратимів. І вона вирішила витягнути їх звідти живими.

12 березня 2025 року. Донеччина, поблизу Спірного.

Троє нацгвардійців — Олександра «Вирва», українець «Шустрий» та колумбієць Піньйо — тримають оборону проти групи російських штурмовиків.

Окупанти закидають їх гранатами. Олександра веде вогонь і допомагає пораненим.

Тоді росіяни скидають із дрона гранату з хімічною речовиною. Жінка встигає частково зупинити поширення газу, але сама вдихає отруту. Попри запаморочення й нудоту, продовжує бій.

Наступний скид руйнує бліндаж. Олександру відкидає вибуховою хвилею.

До тями вона приходить лише через 2 години.

Обидва побратими непритомні. Колумбієць лежить під завалами із сильно травмованою ногою.

Олександра насилу витягує його з-під колод, фіксує ногу, дає знеболювальне.

Близько опівночі росіяни повертаються. Вимагають здатися, але самі наблизитися до бліндажа не наважуються.

Вирва відмовляється.

Тоді окупанти скидають на укриття протитанкову міну. Новий вибух. Нова контузія.

Олександра знову непритомніє. Але, прийшовши до тями, перевіряє стан побратимів, зброю та боєприпаси.

Дві доби вони залишаються під завалами. Без зв'язку, майже без води.

У ніч на 14 березня Вирва разом із Шустрим починають розкопувати вихід.

Щойно Олександра вибирається назовні, по ній відкривають вогонь двоє росіян.

Вона миттєво відповідає автоматною чергою. Обох окупантів знищено.

Олександрі вдається відновити зв'язок зі штабом. З останніх сил вона виводить поранених побратимів до сусідньої української позиції.

Обидва вижили.

А ще кілька років тому Олександра Давиденко працювала журналісткою в рідному Запоріжжі. Розповідала на радіо про українську культуру, письменників і митців.

Її виховувала бабуся в селі на Запоріжжі. Змалку Олександра звикла до важкої праці, доглядала худобу, працювала на городі. Любила читати, особливо книжки з історії України.

«Кожен вибір, тобто дія або бездіяльність, мають свої наслідки. Мене викувала непроста доля, тяжка праця і виживання, яке стало моєю зоною комфорту. Для мене нічого святішого за піхоту не існує! Вижити на фронті – це вже досягнення, особливо на Покровському напрямку. Допомагають досвід та інтуїція, віра і впертість, а головне – небажання здаватися», — розповідала Олександра.

У 2020 році Олександра пішла до Нацгвардії. А після початку повномасштабного вторгнення майже 2 роки домагалася переведення в бойовий підрозділ.

У 2024-му нарешті стала піхотинцем батальйону «Свобода» бригади «Рубіж». Перша ж ротація на позиції тривала 41 день.

Свій незвичайний позивний отримала після одного з російських обстрілів. Побачивши величезну вирву, Олександра вигукнула: «Оце вирва!». Побратими вирішили, що саме так її й називатимуть.

Згодом вона стала старшим кулеметником. За даними Нацгвардії, протягом бойових виходів у 2024–2025 роках знешкодила близько взводу російських військових.

24 березня 2026 року Олександрі Давиденко присвоїли звання Героя України з врученням ордена «Золота Зірка».

Вона стала першою жінкою в історії Національної гвардії України, удостоєною цього найвищого державного звання.

Та особливо вражають слова, якими Олександра пояснила своє рішення не здаватися навіть тоді, коли сама була контужена, отруєна газом і ледве трималася на ногах.

«Я їх завела на позицію і мала їх звідти вивести».

Russia’s intensifying attacks on Black Sea shipping are a threat to regional and global food security.

I discussed this with Romania’s new Foreign Minister @DanNeculaescu, alongside NATO’s strengthened regional posture and the urgent need to get the Black Sea Maritime Security Hub operational.

I also raised the vital role of Solidarity Lanes in bringing Ukrainian grain to world markets. I look forward to working together to support Ukraine and Moldova and make Europe stronger.

Tonight brought me to tears.

At 3:00 AM, Kyiv was attacked again.

Ballistic missiles. Reported Zircon missiles. Up to 15 missiles, according to initial reports.

This is the THIRD wave of ballistic attacks we’ve endured tonight.

10:00 PM.
2:00 AM.
3:00 AM.

I broke down crying.

Some of the explosions were near my friend’s neighbourhood. I could hear them from my room.

And she wasn’t answering my messages.

I was terrified.

Then the explosions continued across Kyiv, with reports of strikes affecting residential areas.

And here I am, sitting on the floor, closing my eyes, listening.

I have learned what a missile sounds like as it flies through the air.

I have learned to recognize the terrifying sounds that come before an explosion.

I even catch myself describing them while recording videos.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW FUCKED UP THAT IS?

I’m wiping tears from my face as I write this.

I’m fucking scared.

I’m afraid to read the news because I don’t know how many people have been killed or injured tonight.

THIS IS NOT NORMAL.

Fuck Russia’s terror against Ukrainian civilians.

And to Donald Trump, the White House, and everyone who calls Putin a “humanitarian” while speaking about peace:

Look at what is happening to us.

We need air defence. We need protection. We need the means to survive these attacks.

Our lives are not bargaining chips in your negotiations.

You speak about peace while Putin continues launching missiles at our cities.

What kind of peace is this?

What kind of humanity is this?

I don’t want to know the sound of a ballistic missile.

I don’t want to wonder whether my friend is alive.

I JUST WANT US TO LIVE.

I’m writing this from Kyiv, at 3 AM, with tears in my eyes.

And I refuse to accept that this is normal.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Three waves of ballistic missiles have been launched at Kyiv by Russian “humanitarians” since yesterday evening. They used 21 missiles. Unfortunately, numerous sites across the city have been hit and damaged: ordinary residential buildings, energy facilities, infrastructure at one of the railway stations and the metro, shopping malls, and businesses. Even a monastery is among the damaged sites. Our emergency services are working at all the affected locations. Twelve of our regions came under Russian attack overnight. In Kyiv and across the regions, 34 people were injured, including five children. As of now, two people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones.

Almost immediately after another round of talks, Russia launched a pointed attack. This means there has been no real change in its attitude toward everything that is happening. It is important to keep trying to find the right solutions to end this war. But when Russia responds to negotiations with ballistic missiles, real pressure on Russia is needed to bring about different steps – steps toward ending the killing. Stronger air defenses and the rapid delivery of missiles, the ability to destroy ballistic missile launchers, sanctions over the war – all of this must be in place. I am grateful to everyone who sees the situation for what it is and acknowledges the reality. The aggressor deserves to be treated accordingly. Ukraine deserves support. People's lives deserve protection. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Bucha. It was a genocide, recognized by everyone. They buried hundreds of people. They tortured people. We found the grave. There were, I believe, around 500 people. When we liberated those towns near Kyiv, there emerged this, you know, this kind of hatred for the Russians, right at that moment. Not even at the moment when they started the full-scale war. Back then nobody understood what it really was yet. People understood what this war was and what Putin did personally when we found those mass graves of tortured adults, children. I mean they didn't just kill them, they tortured and killed them.

When we liberated Bucha, I said, bring every journalist here. Don't touch anything, just bring the journalists. The whole world simply has to see this. Imagine finding a mass grave in the U.S. or in Britain, God forbid, with 500 tortured people, adults, kids, dogs, animals shot dead. I mean, they held hunting sprees there from military vehicles. People were running, they were shooting, just hunting, playing games. They literally just played with people, like slavery. So how, after this, can you listen to Putin? And how, after this, can you forgive?

Russia hit the central market in Lozova, Kharkiv region, at lunchtime — when it is usually packed with the most people — using a Shahed drone and a Banderol missile. Two dead, 34 wounded. Pavilions, homes and a church damaged. This is the daily reality across Ukraine: people die in frontline towns and in rear cities alike. Every day. Everywhere.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

This morning near Komyshuvakha, Zaporizhzhia region, Russian FPV drone struck a civilian car on the road.

​A 73-year-old man and a 71-year-old woman were killed‼️

Russia continues hunting civilians with drones across entire frontline!

Zelensky bombs oil refineries and data centers in Russia.

Putin bombs playgrounds and markets in Ukraine.

Yet, Steve Witkoff calls Putin a "humanitarian".

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

Nine FBI agents investigated the classified documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago. Kash Patel fired all nine.

He told Congress it followed "internal investigations."

Their lawsuit says there weren't any. Someone's lying to Congress, and I’d bet it’s not the agents.

[Olena Tregub @OTregub]

Ukraine has survived this war not simply because of decisions made in presidential offices or Western capitals. It has survived because millions of Ukrainians have demonstrated extraordinary resilience, because soldiers continue to defend the country, and because civil society has mobilized to sustain the state and its defense.

[Dominik Hasek @hasek_dominik]

Let me show you, through a few photos, what kind of "humanitarian" Putin is. The words spoken publicly today by Trump’s envoy are not only a betrayal but also a crime, as they will, in the long run, embolden Putin to commit the worst kinds of atrocities.
