Today, for the first time, we mark the Day of the Unmanned Systems Forces, and from now on, each year, June 11 will be a day of our gratitude to the warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces.
Modern warfare can no longer be imagined without drones, and Ukrainian unmanned systems are operating successfully at different levels: from carrying out missions on the frontline to striking important enemy facilities hundreds of kilometers deep inside its territory. All of this is being documented, and it is thanks to the precision and skill of our operators that Russia’s losses have long exceeded 30,000 killed and wounded per month.
I thank each and every person serving in the Unmanned Systems Forces, developing Ukrainian technologies, and working for the sake of our advantage on the battlefield. Thank you to everyone who is working to reduce Russia’s capabilities and strengthen our security.
Ukrainian drones have attacked an industrial site in Tolyatti, Samara Oblast of Russia this morning. It is likely they’ve gone after an ammonia or nitrogen plant.
Lack of water due to lack of fuel to pump ground water is going to be a much bigger problem than food for Russian civilians.
Russian civilians need to leave Crimea right now, before it is too late.
"Too late" is after the Kerch Straits road and rail bridges are destroyed.
A ship in the Gulf of Finland called the coast guard because it no longer knew where it was.
Russia’s 🇷🇺 war on Ukraine 🇺🇦 has reached Europe without tanks. Moscow isn’t crossing lines. It’s making the lines unreliable. ⬇️🇺🇦🎧

Russia invaded Ukraine, committing some of the worst war crimes seen in Europe since WWII. Faced with that reality, the Kremlin’s idea of sending its “best” journalist is an Irishman who spends his time parroting state propaganda, a regular on RT who attacks the victims.
Nothing screams Russian ownership more.
Ukrainian drones struck two key russian synthetic rubber plants overnight.
🔥 Nizhnekamskneftekhim in Tatarstan — a major supplier of materials used in military vehicle and aircraft tires, lubricants, polymers, and electronics.
🔥 Togliattikauchuk in Tolyatti — one of russia's largest rubber producers and a manufacturer of high-octane fuel additives critical for refinery output and military fuel quality.
Buttigieg: Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that there have to be nine Supreme Court justices. That one doesn't even take a constitutional amendment. It just takes a readiness to set up a court that fits this country.
We could have 13 seats matching the district structure of the federal judiciary, but also a process that makes it less partisan. We cannot have partisan warfare every time there's an opening on the court
Russian air defenses continue to wage all out war on the apartment buildings of Russian cities – this morning targeting a residential complex in Russia's city of Nizhnekamsk amid a Ukrainian drone attack on the local oil infrastructure targets.
After the initial strike, a gas cylinder exploded, taking out several more apartments. Typical Russian chaos.
🔥 Someone in Russia lit a cigarette in a place where it wasn't supposed to. A factory producing optics for the military is on fire in Novosibirsk
A fire broke out on the territory of the former "Ekran" factory, where the "Ekran-Optical Systems" enterprise now operates. Thick black smoke rose over the city, and according to reports, the fire covered about 2,800 square meters.
The company produces components for night vision devices, laser rangefinders, and other optoelectronic equipment for defense purposes.
The strike on TANECO in Nizhnekamsk is significant.
It is one of russia’s largest and most modern oil refineries, processing over 17 million tons of crude per year.
Ukrainian sanctions are highly precise.
🚨BREAKING: The Wisconsin Supreme Court agreed Thursday to hear an appeal seeking to strike down the state’s Republican gerrymandered congressional map, reviving a major fight for fairer maps that could reshape Wisconsin’s U.S. House delegation for 2028. https://t.co/UgeH3NRuf2
The idea that “natural = good” falls apart the moment you learn what nature actually is.
Arsenic is natural.
Botulism is natural.
Smallpox was natural.
Insulin, vaccines, and clean drinking water are not.
Nature doesn’t care if you live.
Science does.
@ShaunPinnerUA ”However, the reality is much simpler. Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine refused to surrender & Europe chose to help Ukraine defend itself.”
very much this.
I only wish USA would be with Europe… but Donald is playing his greedy games
Buttigieg: We didn't know it, but we've all been trusting our lives to the restraint of whoever the president might be. And now we have a president who is completely unrestrained. And so the only answer to that is a functioning Congress.
It turns out we do not have a functioning Congress. The House of Representatives is not representative. One of the most important organs of our democracy is not democratic.
They say, "Oh, no. We're not manipulating the map to disempower black people. We're manipulating the map to disempower Democrats who happen to be black people.”
So, the time has come to make it impossible to manipulate the map for any reason and just have fair maps.
