Russia did not attack Ukraine because of a threat.

Moscow invaded because it expected an easy win with zero consequences.

Weakness invites aggression. Europe must build real deterrence now and transfer Russia’s assets to Ukraine

[Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 @GLandsbergis]

In Kyiv I proposed two tools for Europeans to show Putin that he won’t win his hybrid war against us, even if the Americans less interested in helping us.
1) Invite Ukraine into JEF (Joint Expeditionary Force)
2) Produce 100 million drones per year

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

There is now a strong U.S. proposal for a mutual halt to strikes on critical infrastructure. If this can become the first de-escalatory step – a step toward ending Russian strikes on our critical infrastructure and our strikes in response – then Ukraine is ready to support de-escalation.

We see that the Russians feel the pressure from our precise strikes on Russia’s war economy. And so far, no one has seen any genuine desire on Russia’s part to move toward ending the war. But if our American partners can ensure that Russia is genuinely ready to stop this war aimed at destroying life – and to do so for real and for the long term – Ukraine will take its own de-escalatory steps.

Peace is needed. Energy, food routes, critical infrastructure – all of this must be part of the discussion on ending the strikes. We need a strong and fair solution, and not just for the “elections,” but for good. We expect specifics from our partners.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Our warriors continue responding justly to Russian strikes on Ukraine. An oil refinery was hit in the Ryazan region. Our long-range capabilities were used against oil-processing facilities in the Perm region and Tatarstan, and against a site used to store and launch attack drones in the Kursk region. A target was also hit in the Black Sea. I thank every one of our units for their precision!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

What has been happening in the skies over the past few days is horrific – Putin is doing this ahead of his elections. He is stepping up his strikes, terrorizing our children day and night. This is a new tactic, and we will respond in kind until the terror ends and Russia’s war ends.

Today, we have about 60 companies in Ukraine already working to shoot down jet-powered drones. We are now looking to mass-produce these capabilities. But this is defense, and it is Plan B. Plan A is to accelerate diplomatic efforts as much as possible to de-escalate the situation.

The issue of Donbas is not just about Donbas – it is about this war. A war for survival and a war of attrition. And it is about territory, which is what the Russian side is after.

We have grown stronger on the battlefield, in the east, where the enemy is active and has increased its number of troops. And I believe that after the elections in Russia, there will be a mobilization exclusively for this sector. Many geopolitical issues are being decided there. And our guys are doing a great job by giving diplomacy a chance. Without a strong position on the battlefield, there will be nothing but ultimatums. And today, diplomacy is possible.

💥 A Ukrainian naval drone has sunk the Russian patrol boat Izumrud, eight years after it helped seize Ukrainian vessels.

Can you explain to me why Bin Laden, who destroyed two buildings, was hunted by the CIA for years — but a war criminal who bombs cities in Europe every day is having a meeting with the Special Representative of President of the United States?

Ukraine could not support the UN resolution on a new world map because it depicts occupied Crimea in a way that separates it from Ukraine.

In 2026, the UN should not need a reminder: Crimea is Ukraine.

Shame.

[Angelica Shalagina Official🇺🇦 @angelshalagina]

I’m exactly the Ukrainian who ruins russia’s propaganda.

Born in Donbas.
Raised russian-speaking.
Now I speak Ukrainian by choice.

Still Ukrainian.
Always was🇺🇦

Trump described Canada as a far greater enemy of the USA than Putin’s Russia.

It is time to say this openly:

– The USA is currently ruled by a dictator who was most likely recruited back in the days of the USSR.
– As it turns out, the American system of checks and balances does not actually exist in reality.
– The trust between Europe and the USA—which had existed since at least 1945—has been buried; if not forever, then certainly for a very long time.

Odesa is now being attacked with cheap new Banderol cruise missiles, like this one.
Glide bombs are also being used on the city centre.

Despite fake peace talks, Russia is not slowing down. It is expanding its war.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Another beautiful strike by Ukraine's Armed Forces in Russia's city of Sochi, taking out one of Russia's most expensive air defense systems.

This S400 detonated for around 30 minutes.

Le Pen has been convicted of embezzlement and her party is buried in debt.

Expecting her to fix France is like putting an arsonist in charge of the fire department

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

FM Sikorski:

"All [EU] member states should introduce a requirement to hold a biometric passport, so that Russian spies and saboteurs have a harder time entering under false identities.

We estimate that there are more than 2,000 of them, and we estimate that at least 40% are carrying out activities that are not consistent with their diplomatic status. They serve agencies that also carry out terrorist activities in our countries. In solidarity with Germany, we should implement all the basic safeguards necessary to protect our population." - @sikorskiradek

Trump just ordered Mike Johnson to shut down the House Of Representatives before Thomas Massie's new #EpsteinFiles bill gets 218 signatures. Trump is terrified of naming the names in the last half of the #EpsteinFiles
Release the #TrumpEpsteinFiles NOW!!!

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

In Odesa, emergency services continue working at the site of a drone strike on an apartment building. Damage to apartments from the 10th through the 17th floors left 17 people injured, including three children. Efforts are also ongoing to deal with the aftermath of the strikes in Obukhiv and Boryspil districts. The necessary number of State Emergency Service rescuers are fighting fire at a pharmaceutical company’s warehouse. There were also strikes on Nikopol, Kherson, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, and Khmelnytskyi. Overall, 13 regions sustained damage last night alone.

In many cities and communities, air raid alerts practically do not stop because of the threat of Russian jet-powered drone attacks. The enemy has not gone on vacation – the Russians have found a new way to escalate, and they have no intention of slowing down. We need a stronger response, more countermeasures, and faster defense production with Europe – above all, air defense against missiles and drones. Europe can be self-sufficient and strong – much has already been done toward this in recent years – and only by being this way can it protect itself and its way of life. Every day, we work with our partners on new defense packages. Thank you to everyone working for our common defense. Thank you to everyone helping Ukraine.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Kyiv is getting terrorised every hour and the world is already used to it like it’s the new normal.

When Nazis bombed London for 57 days we didn’t call it London’s new normal we called it the Blitz. This should be no different.

Russia has attacked the warehouse of the US parcel service FedEx in the Kyiv city district of Holossizhivsky.
