Another painful loss for Ukrainian sports 🕯️

The Russian army killed 13-year-old track and field athlete Ulyana Vorona. On July 11, Russia carried out a strike on Sumy using guided aerial bombs (KABs), as a result of which the girl was killed…
A girl who had her whole life ahead of her.

At the same time, international sports organizations are bringing back the Russian anthem and flags to international sports arenas. Pure madness.

Condolences to her family and loved ones… Eternal memory to Ulyana and to all victims of Russian aggression.

New footage from the destroyed city of Bakhmut—once a significant Ukrainian city in the Donetsk region. Putin’s "liberators" captured it three years ago, in the summer of 2023. Since then, the city has lain in ruins...

This war, unleashed by a regime of a Stalinist, Soviet-style mold, will go down in history as one of the most insane and senseless wars ever started on Earth.

🔴 Russian forces have published footage showing them dropping a 3-ton aerial bomb on the Ukrainian town of Orikhiv in the Zaporizhzhia region.

Это Бахмут, город в Донецкой области Украины сейчас, летом 2026 года. Рашисты захватили его три года назад, летом 2023 года. С тех пор город продолжает лежать в руинах.

Today, another Ukrainian child was murdered by russia.

A russian guided aerial bomb killed 9th-grade student Oleksandra Maretska in Kherson.

She was the heart of her class. An outstanding student. She dreamed of a peaceful future.

Just one week earlier, russia killed another student from the same lyceum, Svitlana Pieshyk, in a drone strike.

Two schoolgirls.
Two stolen futures.
One terrorist state.

How many more Ukrainian children must russia murder before the world takes action?

I already know the answer.

The world will keep looking away.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

Today is a tragic anniversary.

And another reminder that russia's war against Ukraine did not begin on February 24, 2022.

On July 11, 2014, russian forces launched a massive Grad rocket attack from russian territory on Ukrainian positions near Zelenopillia.

It was one of the first direct acts of russian military aggression against Ukraine. Thirty-six Ukrainian soldiers and six border guards were killed. Around 100 more were wounded.

The Kremlin lied. The world hesitated. Ukrainians paid with their lives.

Remember Zelenopillia.

Eternal glory to Ukraine's fallen defenders.

11.07.2024 в місті Мирноград Донецької області загинув Іван Гук (15 років). Російська армія атакувала місто п’ятьма керованими авіабомбами. Юнак саме повертався додому з прогулянки. Залишилися батьки. Світлина https://t.co/e4qsPaPnRR

Russia killed Ukrainian volunteer Olha Kuzmenko, along with the animals Olha was caring for.

Olha chose to stay in the frontline town of Druzhkivka, Donetsk region. She refused to leave because of the animals - Olha spent her days feeding them and helping with their evacuation to safer areas.

Yesterday, while Olha was feeding the animals, a Russian guided aerial bomb hit the area and killed Olha along with them.

RIP, Olha. We are losing our best people.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

russia murdered her today.

Ulyana was only 13 years old.
She was killed near a bus stop.

She wasn't a soldier.
She wasn't a threat.
She was a child.

Remember her name.

The world owes her justice.

[UNITED24 Media @United24media]

🕯️ Animal volunteer Olga Kuzmenko was killed in Druzhkivka after a Russian guided aerial bomb struck the city, per hromadske.

“She spent her whole life doing good for people and animals, yet met such a horrific death,” director and writer Oleksandr Kachura wrote.

[Mykhailo Rohoza @MykhailoRohoza]

Her name was Iryna Filkina. The photo of her hand with red nail polish, taken in Bucha after it was liberated three years ago, spread around the world.

She was identified on her birthday, April 1st, 2022, by her ring finger with a heart on the nail... When the war began, Iryna lived in the local hardware store “Epicentr,” where she fed people hiding from shelling and cooked meals for Ukrainian soldiers.

On March 5th, she tried to evacuate from Bucha in one of the cars leaving the shopping center, but there wasn’t enough space — she gave her spot to a woman with a child. So she decided to return home on her bicycle. Just 15 minutes from her home, she was shot by Russian soldiers… She was such a kind and warm-hearted person that everyone who knew her called her “Mama Ira.”

After her mother’s death, her daughter Olha created a foundation to help Ukrainians affected by the war. “I want the photo of her hand to become a symbol of new beginnings. This symbol tells the occupiers that they can do anything to us — but they can’t take the most important thing: love. The love of people, which they don’t have,” Olha says.

---

During the occupation of Bucha, 554 civilians were killed in the community. Another 28 residents of Bucha were killed in neighboring towns. Among the dead were 435 men, 147 women, and 12 children. 43 bodies remain unidentified. 38 civilians are still considered missing. Currently, 33 people are being held in captivity.

Eternal memory to Iryna. Eternal memory to all murdered and tortured Ukrainians.

Over 2,000 foreign volunteers have given their lives for Ukraine.

Not for money. Not for land. But for freedom when it mattered most.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Thank you, heroes. Your courage will live on. Ukraine will never forget you.

Remember, Russia attacks ambulances.

A Ukrainian border guard with the call sign Nexus, while carrying out combat missions in Chasiv Yar, came across paintings left behind in an apartment of a destroyed building.

Despite the difficulties, Nexus managed to track down the artist and return the paintings, nearly lost for good, to their owner.

Ukrainian farmers harvest crops under constant shellіng, bаttle fіres sparked by Russian аttacks, and clear the wreckage of dеstroyed Russian mіlitary equipment from their fields. Despite the wаr, they keep sowing, harvesting…

[Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 @IAPonomarenko]

Sorry, but anyone who seriously believes that a sanctioned Russian oligarch from the Kremlin’s inner circle, and one of the biggest beneficiaries of Russia’s war against Ukraine, decided on his own, without the Kremlin’s approval, to publish an article in a Western outlet because he’s some courageous free thinker who genuinely just wants “change” and “respect” for Russia simply does not understand Russia.

The desire to find a hero who will “come and fix everything” is extraordinarily naïve.

🕯️ US Senator Lindsey Graham died on the evening of July 11 after a brief and sudden illness, according to a statement from his office.

Senator Graham was a prominent supporter of Ukraine.

[Kyrylo Budanov @Kyrylo_Budanov]

Today, Ukraine has lost a true friend, and America has lost one of its finest sons.
Senator Lindsey Graham was one of those American politicians who was not afraid to call a spade a spade. He consistently supported Ukraine in its darkest hours, advocated for military assistance, called for tough sanctions against Russia, and reminded the world that freedom comes at a price. His support was not limited to statements. He visited Ukraine on numerous occasions and met with our military personnel and the country’s leadership. He saw the consequences of Russian aggression firsthand and did everything he could to ensure that Ukraine’s voice was heard in Washington. Just one day before his death, he was once again in Kyiv, reaffirming his unwavering stance in support of Ukraine.

The memory of friends is measured not by words, but by deeds. Lindsey Graham was a friend of Ukraine precisely because of his deeds.
I had the honor of knowing him.
My sincere condolences to his family and loved ones, the American people, and everyone who knew and worked with Lindsey Graham.
Blessed be his memory.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Deeply saddened by the news of the passing of United States Senator Lindsey Graham. Lindsey was a true defender of freedom and the values that make our world safer.

He visited Ukraine ten times during the years of Russia's full-scale invasion and was here with our people when it was most needed. We remained in constant dialogue, and I will miss our conversations. We met twice in just the past week.

A staunch advocate for bipartisan and bicameral support for Ukraine, in recent weeks, he had been working on important initiatives that could help bring peace closer, including stronger sanctions against Russia. We will always be especially grateful for the recognition of our people and words of admiration for the courage of Ukraine’s defenders.

America and the world have lost a determined leader.

Our condolences go out to Lindsey’s family, loved ones, and everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him.
