Right after President Trump announced an energy ceasefire, russia struck a power plant and residential areas in Kharkiv, reportedly killing at least three people, including children, and wounding 22.

War Diary Day 1,691
Lots of alerts but no bombs in Kyiv.

We held our Vladimir Putin: Do Fuck Off! Festival last night.

Will post asap.

Everyone raging at Trump siding with the Russians.

#VPDFO!

We currently see no signs from Russia that it wants to end the war. We see no basic steps toward de-escalation. Everyone is talking about diesel and forgetting about grain. In a month or two, everyone will start talking about an agricultural crisis. There won’t be enough food for countries across Africa, some Asian countries, and the Middle East, because we export millions of tons of grain to these very markets. And now Russia is blocking the sea.

The United States isn’t feeling the effects of this, which is why the focus is only on energy. This is another challenge. It’s hunger. And it can affect many countries. And we need to think about everything and everyone, because we all live on this planet. We can prevent many different crises before they even begin and avert the challenges they bring.

If Trump really wanted to lower fuel prices, he would demand that Putin end his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine—and help Ukraine win to end the war if he didn’t. But he only cares about lining his pockets and following Putin’s orders.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

Brent crude prices declined during Ukraine’s sustained attacks on Russian oil infrastructure but surged after the US-Israeli war against Iran began on 28 February 2026.

Trump is 100% to blame for rising fuel costs worldwide, Ukraine had no impact or was actually lowering costs.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

The US cannot possibly continue participating in negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. It is absurd to allow a hostile state aligned with Russia, acting in bad faith, to play a role in the peace process.

Don't attack us, don't kill our children, we will stop attack your diesel.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Russia invaded Ukraine.

​Russia can stop invading Ukraine, and there will be no more war.

​Even a child can understand this, but apparently not the president of the US.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I spoke with Prime Minister @donaldtusk of Poland. I am grateful for his support and full understanding of the security situation and all the existing threats. We discussed what exactly can strengthen our positions and our ability to defend ourselves against Russia’s aggression. I briefed him on Ukraine’s defense needs. There are significantly more strikes now and significantly more Russian destabilizing activity. Poland’s positions are strong, and it is essential that we are working together to guarantee security. We are also coordinating our diplomatic efforts ahead of the EU-level meetings in Brussels. Thank you!

BREAKING:

Zelensky gives his first comment about on Trump’s statement about it being time for Ukraine to get a new president:

“With all due respect to Trump, it’s up to our society, our people of Ukraine to choose one leader or another (…) It’s up to the Ukrainians — when to vote, how to do it and chose one or another person”

Zelensky also stated:

“I know that Putin really wanted to change the president in Ukraine. And if Trump wants changes in Ukraine during through elections… I also shared it with his team…. Pleas tell Putin: give us 2 months of complete ceasefire, and we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people, exactly the Ukrainian people”

Australia will keep its ban on Russian fuel imports even though the US has opened its market to Russian diesel, Energy Minister Chris Bowen said

“We do not want Vladimir Putin to benefit from this war in the Middle East,” he stated https://t.co/kmkPw9rYmZ

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I am grateful to all our emergency services, who are always there for our people and work to address the aftermath of brutal Russian strikes. Only this morning, search and rescue operations were completed in Zaporizhzhia, where Russia killed 23 people, including four children. Yesterday, the Russians struck a medical facility in Kharkiv, and overnight there were Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, and energy infrastructure. This morning, the Russians struck a five-story apartment building in Slovyansk – an entire section of the building was destroyed, and people may still be under the rubble.

And this continues unabated – this week alone, the Russians have used around 1,450 aerial bombs, 75 missiles of various types, and more than 1,640 attack drones, about 60% of them jet-powered.

Today, we will continue coordinating with partners – there will be talks with European leaders. Virtually every day, we coordinate at different levels and work on additional defense packages, first and foremost air defense and munitions for combat aircraft. All of this is to protect the lives of our people and Ukraine’s interests.

The real cause of the war in Europe is Russia and Russia alone. It is possible to stop strikes on energy infrastructure as early as today, but Putin does not want to do so. Ukraine will be ready to stop striking Russian oil refineries if Russia stops striking our energy infrastructure. Any de-escalation steps must be reciprocal and backed by real guarantees.

[Olga Patlyuk 🇺🇦 @OlgaPatl]

I think it's time for the US to get a new president.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

A very good and timely conversation with UK Prime Minister @AndyBurnham. Thank you for the support and for your condolences to all those who have lost loved ones because of Russian attacks. I briefed the Prime Minister on such Russian strikes that have continued unabated throughout the day today against various Ukrainian cities – aerial bombs, “shaheds,” ballistic missiles. Air defense is, of course, the first priority.

And, importantly, there should be real decisions to protect lives in Ukraine and to support our joint work in Europe for security. British leadership is always significant, and it matters that the UK will continue to ramp up sanctions pressure on Russia for its escalation. We discussed this and what could truly help diplomacy work. We are preparing the right joint steps and a meeting. Thank you.

BREAKING:

Ukrainian long-range drones have struck the Samara LPDS again.

It’a one of Russia’s major oil hubs and has Europe’s largest oil tank farm.

Multiple trunk pipelines converge there, bringing crude from Western Siberia, Tatarstan, and other regions for storage, pumping, and blending into the Urals export grade.

The facility supplies the Russian armed forces and supports a large share of Russia’s oil exports.

An oil terminal in Rostov is transferring its diesel to the cloud. That's where Trump can get it if he wants to.

Zelensky is a hero.

Donald Trump bats for the other side.

[Vasyl Myroshnychenko @AmbVasyl]

Around 40% of Russia’s revenue comes from oil and gas exports. This money helps finance Russia’s war machine, enabling it to manufacture weapons used to kill Ukrainians.

33 people killed. Simply travelling on a bus.
This is the horrific reality of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Yesterday, a Russian guided aerial bomb struck a street in Kramatorsk, hitting two passenger buses. At least 33 people were killed and 18 injured.

People going about their daily lives — commuting, travelling, trying to get home — were killed in a devastating attack on civilians.

This comes just one day after Russia’s deadly strike on a residential building in Pryluky, which killed 22 people, including five children.

These are not isolated tragedies. They are the daily reality of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
