Yesterday, the President of Poland noted that the Order of the White Eagle is not an ordinary award. It is a symbol of the highest trust of the Republic of Poland. It signifies a special bond with the Polish state and the special gratitude of the Polish People. Such a symbol requires not only merit, but also respect for the values that form the foundation of our community.
Therefore, if it is considered that this special symbol may remain with Catherine II, Benito Mussolini, and Gerhard Schröder, then we in Ukraine will not argue with that.
Ukraine is grateful to the Polish People for their support and cooperation, which play a significant role in the struggle for our and your independence from Russia.
Ukraine never forgets solidarity and understands that cooperation between states and peoples in our region is one of the tangible security guarantees for Ukrainians and for each neighboring state.
Ukraine will continue to defend itself in this war unleashed by Russia, and we will undoubtedly achieve a dignified peace.
Ukraine is grateful to all peoples, states, and leaders who will continue to stand with us in the defense of freedom and who, together with Ukraine, will serve as guarantors of postwar peace in Europe and a new, real security.
Ukraine will remain open to all meaningful formats of engagement with Poland in order to try to avoid conflicting interpretations of the difficult and painful chapters of our shared past and to ensure proper respect for all innocent victims of the 20th century.
And Ukrainians are doing everything in our power to ensure that Europe does not suffer defeat in this century.
I am proud of our people and of EVERY Ukrainian warrior – of the millions of Ukrainian men and women who deserve unquestionable respect for the heroism the Ukrainian People have shown in defending themselves against Russian aggression.
We believed that the Order of the White Eagle, awarded in 2023, was meant for the Ukrainian People and our army. That is what was said at the time. Today, I sent the Order back to the President of Poland.
I believe the future will confirm the respect Ukrainians deserve.
Glory to Ukraine!
Ukraine has a window of opportunity and will hold a battlefield advantage over the next 6 months, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said. He described Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure as “agony,” saying they do not affect the battlefield or weapons production. #Ukraine
Russian forces attacked people moving along a road in Nikopol with an FPV drone, killing three, Dnipropetrovsk regional authorities said. The victims include an 87-year-old woman and her 51-year-old son, while the third victim is being identified. #Ukraine
Russischer Soldat gibt zu, dass sein Trupp Mädchen im Alter von 10 und 13 Jahren in der Ukraine vergewaltigt hat und deren Mütter gezwungen hat zuzusehen — bevor er sie alle auf Befehl seines Kommandeurs hingerichtet hat.
Er gesteht, dass das mehrmals passiert ist

Wreckage found at the site of a drone strike tonight on an apartment building in Galați, Eastern Romania, which injured several civilians, appears to confirm that the building was indeed struck with a Russian Geran-2/Shahed-136.
Terror in Kherson continues.. Russian shelling hit a children’s playground, killing a father and wounding a mother with her two daughters, aged 3 and 6. The attack struck a civilian space meant for children and families.. Ordinary Russian terror against harmless civilians. #Ukraine
A Belarusian volunteer, former political prisoner Tsikhan Kliukach, was killed fighting for Ukraine. He was only 23.
After his release from Lukashenka’s prison, Tsikhan chose to defend Ukraine’s freedom against Russian aggression.
We will always remember him as a hero.
🫡 Hi everyone! After very successful autumn and Christmas fundraisers, I'm finally back with another critical fundraiser, this time for the hot Kostyantynivka direction and specifically for the 100th Mechanized Brigade, which for 2 years has been effectively repelling Russian assaults in this sector and which now finds itself in a difficult situation and with losses.
‼️The area, as we speak, is under immense Russian pressure.
Rotations and logistics are disrupted and almost non-existent; soldiers spend up to 2 months in positions, the city is being flattened, the sky is full of drones, and critically needed supplies can't be delivered.
Absolutely any help is urgently needed and will be greatly appreciated.
Your actions might make the difference in saved lives and crucial positions kept, which will delay a Russian breakthrough in the city.
I kindly ask you to repost this message for maximum visibility.
🎯What's needed:
• Drone components (propellers, batteries, repair kits)
• Ground Control Stations (cables, antennas, soldering consumables)
• Spare parts for vehicle repairs
• Building materials for reinforcements of frontline positions

⚡️Standard-10: Magyar Proposes a Formula for Winning the Attrition War
Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces Robert “Magyar” Brovdi has proposed the “Standard-10” formula – a target efficiency benchmark for strike crews across Ukraine’s Defense Forces.
The concept calls for every strike crew in Ukraine’s Defense Forces to achieve 10 confirmed enemy personnel hits per month.
According to Magyar, the current average across all strike crews in the Defense Forces stands at 3.14 confirmed enemy personnel hits per crew per month.
At the same time, there is enormous room for growth: comparable USF crews demonstrate an average of 15.2 hits per crew, the State Border Guard Service unit “Phoenix” averages 22.3, while the 414th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade “Magyar’s Birds” reaches an average of 30.6 enemy personnel hits per crew per month.
Magyar emphasizes that if all strike crews across Ukraine’s Defense Forces reach the “Standard-10” benchmark, enemy losses caused by drones alone could exceed russia’s average monthly replenishment rate by twofold.
According to available calculations, during December–April, the average monthly replenishment of russian forces at the front stood at 29,500 troops, while the average monthly pace of enemy losses from drones reached 31,500 personnel.
In March and April, confirmed enemy losses verified in the Delta battlefield awareness system and inflicted specifically by drones amounted to 33,989 and 33,961 personnel, respectively. Of those:
• Birds of the USF: 10,513 + 10,581 – 31.2% of the total;
• SBU drone pilots: 6,453 + 6,285 – 18.8%;
• Pilots from the seventeen Army Corps of Ukraine’s Defense Forces: 16,464 + 17,367 – 49.9%.
“Standard-10” is built around a clear combat logic: for bomber crews, FPV teams, and other strike systems, the monthly target is 10 confirmed enemy personnel hits.
According to Magyar, this is a fully realistic benchmark: with rotational combat duty covering 15–20 combat days per month, it translates into roughly one confirmed strike every 2–3 days.
“Every controller, every crew, every drone – this is pure mathematics entering the fight. The solution is not attracting new forces and assets, but increasing the efficiency of the existing ones,” Magyar stresses.
According to him, reaching this benchmark would create a sustained negative manpower balance for the enemy and make the exhaustion of the russian military irreversible. Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense has set a strategic goal of reaching 50,000 enemy personnel losses per month. If strike crew efficiency reaches the level of 10 enemy personnel hits per crew, this goal becomes realistically achievable and could exceed the scale of russian mobilization by twofold.
“Since December last year, we have achieved and maintained a negative balance between mobilized and destroyed enemy personnel. With the implementation of ‘Standard-10,’ this imbalance will become critical for the occupier and lead to a turning point in the war.
It is important to emphasize: there will be enough drones for everyone. For 2026, we already have more than enough planned production to cover these needs. The drones are waiting, the crews already exist — all that remains is increasing their efficiency,” Magyar concludes.

Під час виконання завдань прикордонники РУБпАК «СТРІКС» помітили косулю, яка заплуталась в антидроновій сітці. Тварина була налякана і не могла вибратися самотужки. Прикордонники обережно звільнили тваринку з пастки.
After a marked UN humanitarian convoy was hit by FPV drones in the Ukrainian city of Kherson yesterday, local Russian forces in the area proudly admitted to carrying out the attack, and posted footage of the strikes.
