I spoke with Chancellor Friedrich Merz @bundeskanzler. I am grateful for his solidarity with Ukraine and support for our people. We discussed how Russia is responding to President Trump’s statement on an energy ceasefire with new attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities. This is exactly how the Russians behave when pressure eases. It is very important that Europe continue to act on principle.

Germany is working to organize a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing. It is equally important to work through all other formats that can strengthen Ukraine and all of Europe. We agreed to hold a meeting of national security advisors in the E3–Ukraine format. We also discussed support for Ukraine’s financial resilience. We will discuss everything in greater detail during our meeting this week. Thank you, Friedrich! Thank you, Germany!

Ukrainian attacks on Russian data centers may be even more painful for Russia than attacks on its oil refineries.

Here is why.

Russia has been waging two wars against Ukraine. The first is a physical war, fought with missiles, drones, tanks, and soldiers. The second is an information war, fought through propaganda, disinformation, and millions of social media posts designed to manipulate public opinion.

Attacking Russian oil refineries undermines Russia’s ability to finance and sustain its physical war. But attacking Russian data centers undermines its ability to wage the information war.

And we are already seeing very interesting developments.

Following Ukrainian strikes on Yandex data centers, reports indicate that internet traffic originating from Yandex’s network has collapsed. According to reporting based on Cloudflare data, bot traffic from that network fell to just 0.4% of its recent peak.

Meanwhile, online activity supporting Germany’s far-right AfD party has dropped dramatically. The anti-Ukrainian hateful rhetoric from Poland has decreased. Russian-linked MAGA accounts and other pro-Russian networks on social media are bleeding.

The implications are enormous.

For years, Russia has invested heavily in influencing elections, dividing Western societies, and spreading propaganda that undermines support for Ukraine.

And now Ukraine may have found a way to disrupt that machinery.

Think about the implications for elections in Europe and the United States. Political movements that have benefited from Russian disinformation could suddenly find themselves without part of the online infrastructure that helped amplify their propaganda.

And there is another important dimension. Yandex is not just a search engine. It is a major part of Russia’s digital economy, supporting cloud services, artificial intelligence, navigation, businesses, and everyday online activity.

So these attacks hurt Russia on multiple fronts.

They disrupt its economy. They threaten its technological development. And they weaken its propaganda machine.

That is why I believe these attacks may ultimately prove even more effective than strikes on Russian oil refineries.

Oil refineries help Russia finance its war.

Data centers help Russia wage its information war.

And Ukraine is now targeting both.

Russia has attacked a power plant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv despite President Trump’s statement earlier Sunday that both sides had agreed to an "energy ceasefire," according to Ukrainian officials. https://t.co/YGylfybtYV

Look at the way this ICE agent is holding the 5 year son of Oscar Belgal after they shot his father in the neck while this child was in the backseat of father’s car and could have been killed. They have no empathy and this looks aggressive to so many people that saw it happen.

A LIE spreads exponentially faster than a truth.

Here's the truth...

- Talarico was NOT at any facility for mental health in Ohio.

- No mental health facility would ever provide random people information on patients. It would also be ILLEGAL if someone was to use a patient's private verification code to bypass security.

- The Lies are being pushed by a Trump Campaign employee.

Ken Paxton's internal numbers must be horrendous if they are resorting to this crap.

Russian bot traffic has plummeted after Ukrainian drone strikes knocked out Russian tech giant @Yandex’s biggest data centers.

@Cloudflare reports that bot traffic from the Yandex network has dropped to just 0.4% of the maximum number of HTTP requests recorded over the past two weeks.

This is a very important graph!

Save it and show it to anyone who claims that Ukraine is responsible for higher diesel prices.

Ukrainian attacks on russian oil refineries started in November 2025 and they had no meaningful impact on the price of diesel. The price skyrocketed right after Trump started the war in Iran.

Trump announces an energy ceasefire. Ukrainians learn about it from social media. Immediately, there are more Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Nancy Lacore rose to the rank of Admiral before Pete Hegseth fired her without cause. So when her opponent, who's never served a day, tried to use that firing as an insult at the debate, Lacore didn’t flinch.

South Carolina doesn’t need someone who mocks a Veteran’s service. It needs someone who lived it. That’s @nancylacore.

Donald Trump was fundamentally unprepared for this war.

He left our troops and bases undefended. He didn’t game out anything other than day one. And it’s become a national humiliation.

Trump's D.C. Chainsaw Massacre: Over 500 Historic Trees Gutted to Build a Millionaire's Golf Course

Donald Trump has begun actively destroying hundreds of trees in Washington, D.C., and the lack of mainstream coverage is absolutely criminal.

Please scream this from the rooftops and spread the word immediately! These aren't dead, dying, or invasive trees — these are perfectly healthy, decades-old oak and maple trees that are being brutally clear-cut. This disturbing footage from Rick Maese at The Washington Post exposes the truth: the Trump administration is massacring upwards of 500 healthy, historic trees at the East Potomac Golf Course.

But honestly, why are we surprised? This is just the latest chapter in Trump's complete and utter disregard for our nation's historic capital. It follows the exact same playbook as his shocking demolition of the White House East Wing, and the disastrous, botched "renovations" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that left an iconic American landmark falling apart and peeling. To make matters even more sickening, they've even been dumping toxic debris from the demolished East Wing right onto this very public parkland!

The National Park Service is trying to gaslight the public by claiming this ecological disaster is just routine maintenance, but we know the truth: they are gutting public land to build a glitzy, exclusive championship golf course. Residents across the city are rightfully furious and disgusted. Witnessing 500+ majestic trees being ripped out of the ground is an absolute horror show for the people living in this city.

Do not let them slide on this. Share this everywhere, expose this environmental atrocity, and follow for updates.

If a man dressed as a construction worker ran up to you with a gun drawn, you’d accelerate your car too.

The idea that these, armed, anonymous, thugs, many with long histories of violence, are justified in terrorizing communities is the stuff of fascism.

Abolish ICE.

BREAKING: Less than two hours after Trump announced an “energy ceasefire,” Russia struck a power plant in Kyiv and energy facilities in the Kharkiv region, triggering widespread power outages.
