Today, many were shocked by yet another video of the drone “safari” Russians are carrying out against civilians in Kherson. A Russian drone deliberately hunted down a man selling vegetables and detonated right next to him. The Russians even admitted to the crime, showing zero regret and openly boasting about tormenting people. The man was wounded in the blast. Every single day, ordinary people in Kherson face these Russian "safaris."
The world must see this. It must see every piece of evidence that Russia has gone mad and that its soldiers take pleasure in killing and abusing civilians. Without pressure on Russia, the dismantling of its capacity for aggression, and real security guarantees, it is simply impossible to imagine the world being able to coexist with this evil. We must remain resolute in defending life. We must act and support life in ways that force Russia to seriously think about peace rather than expanding the range of its drones.
This is not just about Ukraine. Russia’s campaign against human life must be stopped here in Ukraine before it spreads further. Finland and Kazakhstan, the Baltic states and Poland, the countries of the South Caucasus, Romania, and Moldova—all should work together to ensure real security guarantees and bring Russia’s war to an end. Peace is needed, which requires cooperation among everyone in the world who truly values peace. Thank you to everyone standing with Ukraine!
Trump says Democrats forgot to rig the election in 2016, successfully rigged it while *he* was president in 2020, then forgot how to rig it again in 2024. So the only election Democrats supposedly stole was the one he himself controlled.
You have to be a special kind of stupid to believe this bullshit.
Don’t provoke Russia’ is the most expensive sentence in European history. Every red line we drew for ourselves — no tanks, no F-16s, no strikes inside Russia — collapsed later, at a higher price. Appeasement isn’t caution. It’s paying more for the same result.
@frontlinekit That’s hilarious. But think for a minute, Trump acted like this was the first time he asked this question to Z. Really? This should’ve been brought up ages ago since Putin keeps suggesting it. I guess Trump is that out of touch
@secretsqrl123 Doesn’t know the difference between a tax break and insider trading. But the point is not many really like Trump, even his so-called supporters. Now we just need a good Democrat to step up to the plate who isn’t far left.
Kasparov: Trump can criticize Xi Jinping, dismiss Kim Jong-un, push Erdogan aside.
He has never said one negative word about Putin. Never done a single thing that could hurt him. The question is not what Trump sees in Putin. The question is what Putin has on Trump. 1/
As a Ukrainian who was actually there, I can tell you that no one funded us. Brave, unarmed people died marching against special forces units who were armed to the teeth. They died for freedom, not for a pathetic couple of bucks.
By spreading this misinformation, you insult their memory and every single survivor. You are siding with Russian propaganda that justifies the killing of Ukrainians.
SIKORSKI: I'd like to point out the difference in the targets that the two sides select. Russians hit an 11th-century monastery in Kyiv. And remember, in the 11th century, Moscow was still a forest. Ukrainians hit an oil refinery in Moscow, which is a legitimate military target.
Trump: "I spoke with Putin and Zelenskyy. I think they both want to do something, they just don't know how to do it."
Right, because two heads of state just don't know how to talk. Or maybe, just maybe, the aggressor, Russia, doesn't want to stop its war. Which leaves the victim, Ukraine, with absolutely no choice but to defend itself.
Putin keeps refusing to meet Zelenskyy at any realistic location. He keeps insisting on Moscow, knowing very well that it isn't going to happen. Because meeting would mean the end of the war, which he doesn't want.
@0TulsiGabbard2 No, i’m just tired of Trump turning his back on a Democratic nation being invaded by an evil dictator, when we are obligated by treaty to protect them
McFAUL: I want to applaud Trump for trying to end the war. The problem is they talk to Russians, but after that, you don't see a strategy for ending the war in place.
First, Trump likes to talk about cards. Well, they gave away their two best ones — denying Ukraine membership in NATO and ending U.S. assistance to Ukraine — and they got nothing from Putin in return.
Number two, the structure is chaotic. These guys, Kushner and Witkoff, fly to Moscow all the time. Neither of them has ever been to Kyiv.
Henry Kissinger famously coined the term "shuttle diplomacy." They're just shuttling to Moscow, not to Kyiv.
Number three, this administration has no interagency team engaged in the details.
Therefore, I'm not very optimistic that they're going to achieve results.
🔴 Russian soldier confesses to rape and murder of Ukrainian children.
Captured Russian soldier Rustam Gareyev from the 15th Motorized Rifle Brigade confessed to executing 20 civilians in Avdiivka, including an elderly woman and a teenager.
While I was briefly back in the US, I was disheartened by how many would say "oh is that still going on?" when referring to the war in Ukraine.
It was incredibly frustrating for me especially as an active duty medic in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At that point its just willful ignorance. Everyone has a cellphone, laptop, tablet, etc. Information is literally at your finger tips. But instead of informing oneself properly, the choice seems to be watching AI slop, mainstream media, and other short attention span apps.
The was is not over, it has not slowed down, we are still working and fighting for freedom in Ukraine, the frontline is still 1000 km long, civilians are still being killed by r*ssia every day. We can only go so far to inform you. The rest is up to you. Up to date sources, @KyivIndependent@KyivPost@saintjavelin@U24_gov_ua
Stay informed and inform others.
