SEN. KELLY: Ukraine is not asking us to fight with them with U.S. troops on the ground in Ukraine. They’re asking for help with equipment.
We want Russia to lose. I want Russia to lose badly. I want Ukraine to win. Best way to achieve that is to give them assistance they need.
I just watched priests trying to save crucifixes from a burning monastery.
This is what russia is destroying.
The Kyiv Lavra is one of the holiest Orthodox sites on earth. A UNESCO World Heritage site.
Moscow calls itself “Christian civilisation.”
It’s literally barbarism.
We offered Putin to meet anywhere where real decisions to end the war could be made. He does not want it.
We discussed with the U.S. and France the possibility of a meeting with Russia around the G7, with all democratic nations represented. Putin does not want it.
Yesterday, we discussed with President Trump that such a meeting could be organized in the U.S. – in a format where Putin would find it much harder to refuse at least to President Trump.
We will see what comes of it. If Russia refuses this chance as well, additional pressure will be needed.
From an intervention at the EU Intergovernmental Conference. (3/3)
I thought Russia was going to look like China because Putin is selling off territory and resources to his master in Beijing to keep the war going. But it’s also because it’s soon going to be filled with millions of people on bicycles!
Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this.
JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor?
ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father.
JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small?
ZELENSKYY: I love you.
JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older?
ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you.
JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried?
ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people.
And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry.
JOURNALIST: Are you a hero?
ZELENSKYY: No.
JOURNALIST: So who is your hero?
ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.
Sadistic russian maniacs killed an 87-year-old Ukrainian who was mobility-impaired and used a wheelchair with a FPV drone.
Meaning they could see the target.
A Russian militant known as “Grom” raped filmmaker and journalist Alisa Kovalenko for four days.
Before that, militants beat and interrogated her. They threatened to cut off her fingers and teeth.
Alisa was 27. She came to Donbas to film the start of Russia’s war, UP.

Surprise! The weapon that Russia did not expect from Germany Germany's HX-2 loitering ammunition weighs only 12 kilos but is pure hell for the Russian. It does not need GPS at all - navigates with AI and machine vision instead. Russia's most advanced jamming system? Almost completely useless. The drone looks ahead, finds the target and slams it anyway. Mini-Taurus with German engineering know-how and Ukrainian input. Suddenly it feels like Russia is not only being showered with oil - now they are also getting intelligent little bastards that cannot be jammed away. Germany 2026: "We are not sending tanks... but look what we have instead." Russia: panic jamming intensifies What do you think - will this be a game changer or just one of many new toys?
We can't have Russian citizens enjoying the freedoms of European life while the Kremlin continues its missile attacks against Ukrainian families and cities. Together with Sweden, we call on the Commission and Member States to uphold a stricter visa policy for Russian applicants.
The SBU has released fragments of the Shahed drone used in Russia’s attack on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
Investigators found components manufactured at Alabuga, Russia’s notorious drone-production hub.
The strike damaged the cathedral’s domes, roof, walls and windows. The SBU has opened a war crimes investigation.
Russia claims to be defending Orthodox values. Yet another Ukrainian church lies damaged after a Russian missile and drone attack.
🚨Russian Shadow Fleet Alert
Russian oil tanker MARIEL hosting a false Sierra Leone flag is sailing South off the West coast of Ireland.
MARIEL is sanctioned by the EU, UK and others.
These vessels not only fund Putin’s war but represent a threat to the marine environment.
🔴 Russian missile strike destroys 100,000 historic costumes at Ukraine’s Dovzhenko Film Studio
A Russian missile attack on Kyiv destroyed the national studio’s entire historic collection, incinerating 3 million props and priceless wardrobe pieces from iconic films.
New footage filmed from a truck rolling past Russia's Rosrezerv depot in Yaroslavl Oblast shows the scale of the blaze, raging for more than 24 hours after Ukrainian drones struck the strategic wartime reserve. 📹 Exilenova+
Danylo Yefimov, 21, eats once a day in a Russian prison and can no longer keep down normal food. He won't treat a wisdom tooth, because inmates say guards beat prisoners before every hospital trip.
His crime was sending 130 dollars to a Ukrainian army charity, hromadske. 1/
Ukraine has developed a heavy underwater drone named "Sea Trident" that can carry up to 1,000 kg of explosives.
It can dive to depths of up to 60 meters and reach a top speed of up to 18.5 km/h.
Did you just think of the Crimean Bridge, too?
When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
"Putin never escalates when we help Ukraine. He escalates when we don't help enough."

Don't stop supporting Ukraine, that country needs defense, these brave people need our support and help🫂🙏❤️🇺🇦
⛽️ The "Gasoline Cloud" Delusion
Because Russia cannot deliver gasoline to the occupied Ukrainian territories, as Ukraine controls all the routes, Russian general and deputy Gurulyov proposed an idea of how to bypass this. A direct quote:
"We have technologies, still Soviet ones. We can heat and evaporate several train cars of gasoline, say, near Anapa, and form a gasoline cloud from it, and then direct it to Crimea with special fans, where we will make it rain. The technology was already tested in 1986—just get your basins ready!"
