Yesterday, russian FPV drones killed Oleksandr "Sanyok", the administrator of the Ukrainian Telegram channel Khersonets.
He was more than a channel admin. He was a defender of Ukraine.
When his country needed him, he left civilian life, took up arms, and stood with his brothers until his very last day.
Kherson lost a brave man. Ukraine lost one of its defenders.
Rest in peace, Sanyok.
Eternal memory.
This week, 15 of our regions have been targeted by Russian strikes. There have been almost daily attacks on Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and Sumy. The Russians are using various types of weapons to strike people, ordinary residential buildings, and our civilian infrastructure. Unfortunately, there are casualties from this terror almost every day. And the threat of these Russian attacks remains constant. Over the course of this past week alone, there were around 1,400 attack drones, almost 1,500 guided aerial bombs, and 19 missiles of various types, including ballistic ones.
Strengthening air defense – primarily anti-ballistic protection – expanding cooperation within the Drone Deal format, and increasing pressure on the aggressor are key priorities. Sanctions on Russia and its partners over this war must be enforced where they will be felt most. We need strong and rapid steps that will force Russia to move toward ending this war. Everything that strengthens Ukraine helps bring peace closer. I thank everyone who is helping us.
He was sixteen years old.
Stepan Chubenko was a goalkeeper. He played for the youth team of FC Kramatorsk. He dreamed of being a professional footballer. He took care of the children at the local orphanage with his friends, bringing them toys and books and sweets. He had a girlfriend. They had talked about getting married someday.
In the summer of 2014, three russian-backed militants tortured him for a week and shot him three times in the head in a village near Donetsk.
His killers offered to spare his life if he would side with the so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic.”
He refused.

A russian soldier called “Grom” raped Alisa Kovalenko for four days.
Before that, they beat her. They threatened to cut off her fingers and her teeth. They promised they would get to her parents, and to her boyfriend.
She was 27 – a documentary filmmaker who had come to Donetsk Oblast to film the beginning of Russia’s war.
A taxi driver turned her in.
Her partner, the French producer Stéphane Siohan, raised the alarm in the media. The public attention saved her. She was released. She carried what happened alone for more than a year before she could say it out loud – and then became one of the first women in Ukraine to say it anyway.
Russia expected that to break her.
In 2022, when they came back for the rest of the country, Kovalenko first got the heroes of her unfinished film to safety. Then she volunteered for the front – a mother of a small son, serving as an assault infantry soldier.
She put it as simply as it can be put:
“When you see even one form of Russian evil, you understand that it must be stopped at any cost.”
They wanted a victim. They got a soldier.

Eternal memory
We will never forget.
Today marks the third anniversary of the murder of two Ukrainian heroes — Tigran Oganesyan and Mykyta Khanganov.
Two 16-year-old schoolboys from Berdiansk who became symbols of unbreakable resistance. They were among the first to tear down the russian tricolor in their occupied city, openly defying the occupiers.
For this, they were abducted, tortured, and falsely labeled “terrorists.” On June 24, 2023, russians executed them in cold blood in occupied Berdiansk.
They did not break. They did not bow. They did not surrender.
Their courage lives on. Their names echo through time.
We remember. We honor. We stand.
Tigran and Mykyta — forever in our hearts.
Військова омбудсменка Решетилова зізналася, що цілий рік знала про катування у «Скелі».
Рік мовчання.
Її байдужість - це і повний професійний провал, і вирок усім державним інституціям.
Підтвердження абсолютного «pohui» на життя та гідність наших людей.
Йому в полоні вирізали грудну клітку, понівичили череп і вибили зуби: історія морпіха з Черкас, якого три роки тримали в російському полоні.
Тіло бойового офіцера-морпіха Богдана Усенка з Черкас повернули з російського полону у стані, який неможливо описати без сліз.⬇️
Розповіла британському виданню The Sun про одну з найжорстокіших практик росіян – викрадення та індоктринацію українських дітей. Тільки з того, що ми знаємо, понад 20 тисяч українських дітей викрала Росія. Їх залучають до російської пропаганди, позбавляють ідентичності та мілітаризують.
Найболючіше – це відчуття розриву, яке неможливо виміряти. Ми не можемо дозволити, щоб до цього звикали. Стійкий і справедливий мир – це також повернення всіх українських дітей. Вони не можуть бути предметом торгу чи «трофеєм». Світ має чути їхні історії та допомогти повернути кожну дитину додому.
Eternal memory 🫡🙏

Сьогодні треба згадати цих відважних українців, наших дітей.
3 річниця загибелі Тиграна Оганісяна та Микити Ханганова, які кинули виклик окупантам.
Вічна памʼять🕯️
💔🕯 24 червня минає три роки від загибелі Тиграна Оганнісяна та Микити Ханганова — двох підлітків із тимчасово окупованого Бердянська
Після захоплення міста російськими військами хлопці відкрито демонстрували проукраїнську позицію, через що зазнали переслідувань з боку окупаційної влади. Їх звинувачували у нібито диверсії, затримували та, за свідченнями рідних, піддавали жорстокому поводженню.
Повну історію друзів Тиграна та Микити, чиї імена стали символом спротиву, читайте у нашому дописі ⤵️

Since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has killed at least 707 Ukrainian children.
Behind each number is a life cut short and a future that will never be realized.
