🇺🇦 Ukrainian top guns train with NATO F-16 fighter jets
A coalition of NATO Allies has agreed to donate their F-16s to the Ukrainian Air Force, and as part of the deal, Danish instructors are training Ukrainian pilots, technicians and ground crew how to fly and maintain the F-16
Two years ago, we received an order from the country's top military and political leadership to stop defending Mariupol and surrender from Azovstal’s territory.
Prior to that, after a round of difficult negotiations with the Russian side, we reached an agreement to evacuate civilians from Azovstal steel plant. Hundreds of people, residents of Mariupol, who had taken refuge on the territory of the plant, were rescued.
All the civilians who were hiding from enemy bombardment at Azovstal survived. The last civilian left the plant on May 7, 2022.
After that, the Mariupol garrison continued to hold the defense until the relevant order from the higher command.
The defense of Mariupol saved Ukraine. The price of this salvation was the lives of our soldiers who died in the city battles and as a result of the terrorist attack in Olenivka, and the freedom of hundreds of our brothers-in-arms who have been in Russian captivity for 2 years.
Two years have passed. Two years of resistance by more than 900 soldiers of the 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov, who saved Ukraine with their bold actions and are now in Russian captivity.
Their names are not forgotten. Today, every battle, every shot and every step we take is aimed at one thing — bringing the captured Azov men home. And until this happens, we will not stop fighting.
We will bring everyone back. And we will liberate everyone.

New horrifying evidence of Russia's criminal policy aimed at the extermination of Ukrainians: we have received information that Russian commanders have ordered not to take Ukrainian soldiers as prisoners but to kill them with inhumane cruelty—by decapitation. The fact of decapitation of a Ukrainian defender was recorded in the Donetsk region.
This terrible barbarism must have no place in the 21st century. And this is yet another proof that the war crimes committed by the aggressor are not isolated incidents but a planned strategy of the Russian regime. These criminal orders were given at the command level of the battalion and company of the occupation forces.
We will not let these crimes go unpunished. I call on the entire civilized world to isolate the terrorist state and bring it to justice.

Щодо розслідування жорстокого вбивства захисника України на Донеччині, про яке стало відомо вчора. Встановлено особу загиблого. Наразі ми не можемо назвати його імені, адже тривають процедури для остаточного підтвердження його даних.
Також ми іден��ифікували російських командирів, потенційно відповідальних за обезголовлення українського захисника. Здійснюється комплекс заходів щодо перевірки цієї інформації.
Цей факт є ще одним підтвердженням, що повна зневага до міжнародного права та загальнолюдської моралі — це державна політика країни-терориста росії. Кожен світовий лідер, який тисне руку путіну, повинен усвідомлювати, що тисне руку особі, яка толерує варварські вбивства.
@Dent_Arthur_TM I'm Polish and I fucking hated Russians before it was cool. For a short time I thought Russia was possibly turning into something to be liked, but I was deluding myself. Russia is like a malignant cancer: it can produce nothing but evil and destruction.
I am Ukrainian. And I F hated Russians before it was cool.
The Executed Renaissance is a term used to describe the generation of 🇺🇦 language poets, writers, and artists of the 1920s and early 1930s who lived in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and was killed by the Soviet regime.
The exact number of repressed 🇺🇦 intellectuals during the period of the Executed Renaissance is unknown. The estimates are 30,000 people.
The best people . The cultural elite .
And this was just the last century. In just one decade.
