Several Ukrainians have told me in person and X that my original spelling of Kyiv is wrong. I said “Kiev” originally, which is the Russian spelling.
When the war started, on-air journalists gradually switched from saying Kee-yev to Keev. I never understood why. Until now.
Russia is waging a cultural war on Ukraine. They are indoctrinating kidnapped children to only speak Russian, forbidding the use of Ukrainian. Russian leaders claim Ukraine has no distinct cultural identity or history separate from Russia.
But last night I ate borscht, a Ukrainian dish, for the first time. I’m in a city originally named Kyivan Rus’. Muscovites took the name to create “Russia.” Even the underlying technology for Russia’s nuclear energy is Ukrainian.
Russia has appropriated Ukrainian history and culture since Russia’s founding. Ukrainians take pride in their history and identity. They do not like to see it appropriated by Russians killing their families every single day.
So if you’re an American asking yourself why this matters, you have your answer.
Reporting from KYIV with @LauraLoomer@LoomerUnleashed
American n@zis are as stupid as they are n@zi. Truly even German n@zis started planning their exit as regime fell. Not American n@zis hired by russia.
So consider what happens next. Russia can either win its genocides or collapse. America can go to war and if they don’t win, America still exists. That’s not how russia exists. It must have conquest and be in constant state of war. Its people from cradle to end are fed divine victory propaganda to justify why they suffer.
Russia cannot win. That’s means it can’t simply go home like Americans went home after Afghanistan. America was in Afghanistan for 20 years. Then left. Russia was in Afghanistan for 10 years and collapsed. And each time russia collapses, all truth comes out.
This time is even worse for them. Because unlike every other time russia collapsed and we get all their files, we are too weak and pressured by America to sit quietly. Unless you actually think that entire world suddenly get amnesia about WWII?
And this time not only are we not weak. But America betrayed us, giving up any power over us or truth.
This time we have already decided and already Hague has committee that has made clear: all russian state hired atrocity propagandists, including those that are citizens of other countries will be accountable.
Yet these imbecile n@zis sat look at me, charge me with crimes against humanity.
Ok. We will
⚠️ Oh look another day and another MAGA pedophile!
-For those asking for proof here are the basic Facts, you can also Google it yourselves!
-Theodore Middendorf was a January 6 rioter who was pardoned by Trump for his Capitol related offense.
-He had already been sentenced in 2024 to 19 years in prison for sexually assaulting a 7‑year‑old (predatory criminal sexual assault of a child).
-So the accurate framing is:
He is a January 6 participant pardoned by Trump, and he was convicted and sentenced for sexually assaulting a 7‑year‑old.
-Some posts say “has been arrested” instead of “was convicted/sentenced,” which is a bit imprecise, but the underlying fact—that he’s a Trump‑pardoned Jan 6 rioter tied to the sexual assault of a 7‑year‑old—is accurate.
-This wouldn't have happened if he was left in Prison where he belonged! Now a 7 year old child will spend their life recovering from the Trauma, & Pain that Trump who released this monster is an accessory to!😠
Moment When Radoslaw Sikorski reminded America, UK, France and Russia that they guaranteed Ukrainian security and borders in 1994!
- Sikorski:
“As you know, Russia, the USA, and Great Britain guaranteed the security of Ukraine and its borders.
In exchange for Ukraine giving up what was then the third largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in the world. In 1994.
So you have an obligation to Ukraine to help them defend their freedom.”

russian occupation is not peace.
On Nov. 12, 2025, pro-Ukrainian Crimean resident Marina Ryff went to migration services in Gurzuf to extend her Ukrainian residency. She had refused a russian passport.
FSB agents forced her to unlock her phone, accessed her Facebook account, saw a Ukrainian flag and posts supporting Ukraine's military, then fabricated charges: “discrediting the army,” “extremist symbols,” and hooliganism.
She was sentenced in absentia to 14 days of administrative arrest — and then she vanished.
Six months later, there has been no contact, no confirmed location, and no access to a lawyer.
This is a well-known russian tactic: use minor administrative charges to abduct people, isolate them, and later accuse them of treason.
When people talk about “peace” under russian occupation, remember Marina Ryff.
She disappeared simply for refusing to stop being Ukrainian. That's what russian occupation means.

Former US Ambassador to Ukraine🇺🇦
"What I saw in Ukraine was horrifying. Russia launched missiles and drones at men, women and children sleeping in their homes, tried to take down the energy grid for millions of Ukrainians, and committed war crimes and atrocities at a level we haven't seen since WW2.
I resigned because the policy was to put pressure on the victim, Ukraine, rather than on the aggressor, Russia.
Respect to this woman 🫡
Putin is aging, and fast. His memory’s failing him.
It’s only been three weeks since May 9, but he’s completely forgotten that he has to clear any of his public appearances with Zelensky through Trump.
So yesterday they announced a big Putin speech at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum on June 5, but they forgot to get the approval.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces had to remind him.
Deeply concerning reports regarding Aughinish Alumina.
At a time when Ukraine continues to suffer the consequences of Russia’s aggression, it is vital that the investigation is concluded rapidly and the facts established. There can be no room for ambiguity on matters like this.
In the Donetsk region, the Russians are quite simply burning everything alive.
Footage of burning phosphorus rain over Kostyantynivka.
White phosphorus ignites spontaneously and burns at temperatures exceeding 800°C. If it comes into contact with a human being, it causes deep chemical and thermal burns. Phosphorus is nearly impossible to extinguish with ordinary water; its combustion is accompanied by the release of dense, toxic smoke that instantly sears the respiratory tract. Moreover, the resulting widespread fires and the long-lasting chemical contamination of the soil make this weapon a devastating threat to all living beings in the vicinity of the impact site.
Russia is cancer.
