One of the most effective volunteers supplying drones to the army, @Sternenko, has been injured in an attempted assassination attack ordered by russia today. Serhii underwent surgery & is no longer in danger. Support Serhii by donating to his fundraisers!

Ordinary Ukrainian cities: Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipro. Ordinary life, and Russian strikes that should never have happened. Every day in Ukraine is marked by large-scale attacks with strike drones, mostly “Shaheds”—it was Iran that taught Russia how to produce such drones.
Today, more than a dozen drones have already hit our Kharkiv, one of the largest cities in Ukraine. Ordinary residential buildings have been damaged, and so far 8 people have been wounded, including a 12-year-old girl. No country should have to go through this.
And against this backdrop, speaking about easing pressure on Russia, lifting sanctions, and so on, is definitely inappropriate and unhelpful. Russia kills people every day and drags out this war. The U.S. proposal for an unconditional ceasefire has been on the table for half a month now.
Pressure on Russia is needed to save lives and to make diplomacy work faster and more effectively. Without pressure on Russia, there will be no result.
It's true. A corrupt dictator is standing in the way of peace in Ukraine. He has conscripted hundreds of thousands of boys and men who have been maimed and killed. He has used this war to advance his personal political ambitions. He has banned opposition parties and removed political opponents. He has outlawed all media that is critical of his decisions.
His irresponsible behaviour is threatening world peace and making a nuclear conflagration more likely.
His name is Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine is fighting for the normal and safe life it deserves, for a just and reliable peace. We want this war to end. But Russia does not, and continues its aerial terror: over the past week, more than 1,050 attack drones, nearly 1,300 aerial bombs, and more than 20 missiles have been launched at Ukraine to destroy cities and kill people.
Those who seek negotiations do not deliberately strike civilians with ballistic missiles. To force Russia to stop its attacks, we need greater collective strength from the world.
Strengthening our air defense, supporting our army, and ensuring effective security guarantees that will make the return of Russian aggression impossible—this is what we must focus on. Justice must prevail. We believe in the power of unity, and we will certainly restore lasting peace.
Генерал Драпатий про російський удар по полігону на Дніпропетровщині:
"Чекав на перші дані, щоб не бути голослівним, і тепер маю попередити: кожен, хто ухвалював рішення в той день, і кожен, хто не ухвалював їх вчасно, — усі понесуть відповідальність. Ніхто не сховається за поясненнями чи формальними рапортами.
Передбачаю, що правду намагатимуться приховати в тумані бюрократії. Але я цього не допущу. Призначив незалежну перевірку за участі військової контррозвідки, щоб жодна деталь не залишилася поза увагою, а винні були названі і не змогли «відмазатися»".
