Today, the Russians again struck the special territory around the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant. A “shahed” hit one of the buildings of the Centralized Spent Fuel Storage Facility. An extremely critical infrastructure facility – and an extremely vile Russian strike. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy, and all our services are already working to ensure that each of our partners knows what has happened.

Russia deliberately struck this particular nuclear infrastructure facility. As of now, there are no readings exceeding normal background radiation levels. But there is certainly an increase in Russia’s brazenness, which long ago went off the charts. Ukrainian first responders extinguished the fire at this facility after the strike. And real new steps by the world are needed so that the Russians feel that this terrorist war of theirs is a blow to Russia itself.

Last night, there were also Russian strikes on other civilian facilities in 13 of our regions. In total, over the course of this past week, Russia launched 88 missiles, more than 3,250 attack drones, and around 1,800 guided aerial bombs against Ukraine. Pressure on Russia must be increased. Thank you to everyone who’s helping!

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine

When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.

Think this one through. Beautiful olive trees that grow and mature and serve as the livelihoods of families. People who think they are righteous and devoted to an all-seeing god, burn them down. And it happens again and again and again.

Israel executed Theodosia today in Qlayaa, South Lebanon.

She was on her way to take her exams.

Israel dropped a bomb on her car, killing her and her parents.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Israel announces that surviving Palestinians will be expelled from Gaza.

No headlines.

No statements of outrage from politicians.

Silence.

[ALUTHEDON @Mbakaza4L]

This isn’t war. This is genocide.

Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.

[matrixbot @thematrixb0t]

Israel is doing to Lebanon what they did to Gaza…

A FATHER AND SON KILLED FOR WALKING HOME.

They didn't carry weapons; they carried memories and a simple dream of going home.

🚨 BREAKING: Al Jazeera confirms Israel bombed a Lebanese hospital for the THIRD time. The ICU is completely destroyed.

A mother desperately rushed to find her premature baby alive amidst the rubble. Washington is fully complicit in these war crimes!

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

Israel having killed every child, every sheep, every dog and cat. Having destroyed every tree, every road, every building in southern Gaza

Is now bulldozing the remnants.

Every gravestone, every sign that anyone ever lived here.

It's a holocaust

[ALUTHEDON @Mbakaza4L]

DO NOT TURN A BLIND EYE TO THIS. HOLY SHIT.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.

As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.

We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.

Israel just carried out another horrific massacre in South Lebanon.

Dropping massive bombs near Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre — wiping out 3 apartment blocks full of civilians.

People are still buried under the rubble.

This is an American-backed, American-funded genocide.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Israel has destroyed nearly 62,000 Lebanese homes, almost 700 every day for 90 days.

These are war crimes under international law: Wanton devastation not justified by military necessity.

One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death.

🚨 BREAKING: Al Jazeera confirms the Washington-backed Zionist regime is illegally occupying a staggering 20 percent of Lebanon, systematically destroying dozens of villages.

Over a million civilians are displaced as relentless airstrikes devastate major cities.

White phosphorus ignites instantly on contact with oxygen. It burns at over 800°C. It melts through clothing, skin, muscle — and bone.

In the bloodstream, it becomes a systemic poison. It attacks the heart, liver, and kidneys leading to multi‑organ failure and death.

Monsters.
