Russia has attacked the very center of #Kharkiv, targeting not only the cultural heritage of the city but also a UNESCO site.
This is Derzhprom, one of #Ukraine's first skyscrapers and one of the largest in the world, built back in 1928.
Some outrageous news that needs more coverage.
In 2023, Maksym Osadchuk, a 🇺🇦 historian and Army serviceman, gave a @TEDTalks talk.
TED refused to publish it claiming that it wants to "stay neutral".
@TEDNews should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

The situation in Kharkiv is very harsh. Russian terror is constant. Russians began using guided aerial bombs against the city almost daily.
We are looking for ways to increase Kharkiv's ability to protect the sky. This is a task for both our military and diplomats, who are in charge of international communication and must maintain daily dialogue with partners.
Ukraine clearly lacks sufficient air defense systems, and this is evident to all of our partners. The world must finally feel the pain caused by Russian terrorists in Kharkiv, Kupyansk, Donetsk region towns, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy region, and many other Ukrainian communities.
There are air defense systems around the world that can help. Only political will is required to transfer them to Ukraine. I am grateful to the countries that have already helped. Being active in completing this task is the personal responsibility of our diplomats who work in these areas and with countries that have the necessary systems.
"Patriots" must now be in Ukraine, so there will be no need to use them on NATO's entire eastern flank in the future.
"I wish I never made this film" - 20 Days in Mariupol just won the Oscar for Best Documentary, the first Oscar in Ukrainian history.
Watch it, share it, and help build support right now while Ukraine needs it most.
These pictures show 160 tons of destroyed Ukrainian grain. The grain was in transit to the port of Gdansk and then to other countries.
The fourth case of vandalism at Polish railway stations. The fourth case of impunity and irresponsibility.
How long will the government and the Polish police allow this vandalism to continue? Once again, all these agricultural products are transported in sealed railcars and are in transit to other countries. We are strictly following the law. And you?

Dark post.
Russia now has 510,000 soldiers in Ukraine, sending 30,000/month.
Ukraine is also destroying around 30,000/month.
With the US now withholding weapons for 5 months, Russians are making gains that will give Putin the domestic support he needs to mobilize another 400,000.
The US Republican Party has just committed one of the great tragedies of this century, likely, directly the cause of coming massive civilian casualties as Russians may now push deep into Ukraine, creating hell on earth.
Remember, the @gop did this purely as quid pro quo for Russia's ongoing support for the Republican party in the 2024 election. The massive Russian disinfo machine is now the kingmaker in US politics.
😡The US House of Representatives went on recess without voting for a bill to help Ukraine
House GOP leadership canceled votes for Friday, and the House will return to Washington on Feb. 28.
The White House on Thursday bashed Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for starting the House recess without bringing the Senate-passed Ukraine aid package to the floor for a vote.
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates argued in a memo, first obtained by The Hill, that Johnson is cutting and running early to go on recess “instead of ending the harm he’s doing to our national security.”
“Every day that Speaker Johnson causes our national security to deteriorate, America loses. And every day that he puts off a clean vote, congressional Republicans’ standing with the American people plunges,” Bates said.
"Running away for an early vacation only worsens both problems.”
“The American people are outraged at the damage Speaker Johnson is causing to America’s national security in the name of politics, as voters in New York proved Tuesday,” Bates said.
“But instead of ending his politicization of the country’s safety, Speaker Johnson is cutting and running, sending the House on an early, undeserved vacation as he continues to strengthen Russia’s murderous war effort and the Iranian regime at the expense of American national security, U.S. manufacturing jobs, and our closest alliances,” he added.
