A Russian satellite has been making hostile moves toward a U.S.-registered commercial satellite providing radar data in support of Ukraine, raising urgent questions about Russia’s intentions and the rules governing behavior in space. @CSISAerospace's @crswope breaks down what Russia’s satellite could do next and why the incident highlights the need for clearer norms and deterrence in space.
"Putin doesn't believe that Ukraine has any right to exist at all... his only goal is to wipe Ukrainians out."
Volodymyr Yelchenko, Ukraine's last ambassador to Russia, says the Russian leader understands that the end of the Ukraine war could spell the end of his political career - and his life.
He also called Trump's energy deal with Putin is "outrageous"

⚡️ "Even when Bill Clinton was president, Putin was waging war against Chechens... That war taught Putin a lesson: if he uses oil and gas to tempt the world, many politicians will look the other way,"
President Zelenskyy stated, highlighting a long-standing Russian tactic.
What will happen if we lose?
20 million Ukrainians will come to Europe, because Putin will destroy us and drive us out – Zelenskyy.
What answers do Putin’s bootlickers have to this?
Trump?
Weidel (AfD, Germany)?
Le Pen?
Fico?
Vučić?
Dodik – Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Andy Burnham is expected to announce further military support for Ukraine when Volodymyr Zelenskyy visits Downing Street. But the meeting comes after Zelenskyy criticised allies over not receiving early warnings of incoming missiles on Kyiv.

100s of people are trapped in the occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky. We spoke to some of the residents who escaped last week. Here’s what they told us:
I am grateful to all of you who are trying to keep Europe and the United States together.
There are so many people with good hearts in America who sincerely want evil to lose and Ukraine to stand strong. These are the very hearts that helped Europe defend its freedom, and that fought on D-Day, won the Cold War, and want what is best for Europe. Hearts that want to be allies, not to divide or humiliate Europe. I believe most Americans still feel this way. And at the end of the day, the American people will have their say.
Putin will listen to America if America really turns up the heat on him and makes one thing clear – either he chooses peace, or he gets no more money for his war.
From an address to the participants of the European Council meeting. (2/5)
"I envied those who had died."
What Ukrainians go through in Russian captivity is horrifying. Both men and women are subjected to torture.
34-year-old Olesia Melnychenko, an Azov paramedic, shared what she endured during eight and a half months in Russian captivity in Olenivka and Taganrog: inhumane conditions, relentless hunger, beatings, and physical and psychological abuse.
"There were 18 of us in a cell with only six sleeping spaces. We had to wash with just half a liter of water. We heard the screams of men being beaten for days.
Russians would give us a spoonful of porridge and fish that hadn't been scaled or gutted. At one point, they brought us 'drinking water' with tadpoles swimming in it.
We had to run and sing songs while they beat us with batons. They put me in a cage..."
In December 2022, Olesia was released in a prisoner exchange. After undergoing rehabilitation, she returned to serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a military psychologist.

Did you know that Ukraine received massive quantities of Tomahawk missiles from the US, didn’t even pay for them, and later sold them on the black market?
Don’t worry if you didn’t, because it only happened in Trump’s demented mind.
🤪🤪🤪
@sikorskiradek@Fella_Geoffrey It’s genuinely so sad 😞 to witness in real time, The Worst President In American History.
I can only hope AMERICA and the world will never see the likes of this stain on humanity ever again.
Trump: "I watched an interview of a young woman the other day from Ukraine. And she said, 'President Zelenskyy has destroyed our country. President Zelenskyy has taken our men away from us. Our men have no legs, no arms. Our men in many cases in mental institutions or they're dead.'"
We appreciate President Trump’s concern for the victims of the war but in Poland we think that those Ukrainians were injured by drones, bombs and missiles launched by Vladimir Putin.
