In Donetsk region, russians killed more than 20 people — civilians who had gathered at that moment to receive their pensions. An air bomb was dropped on them.
Earlier Trump said he had a good conversation with Vladimir Putin and that Putin definitely wants peace.
Kyiv is under massive drone attack. Make no mistake, this is Putin’s response to President Trump’s deadline. He is testing American resolve and strength. We must not be found wanting.
Today, Good Friday, the Russians hit a house in Kharkiv with a cluster missile.
Over 60 civilians were injured, including 5 children. One man was killed.
I see that Putin wants peace (c) Trump
This is the Russian "ceasefire."
While the Russians lie to @POTUS about wanting peace, they are killing children. Ballistics strike.
Children killed in Kryvyi Rih.
@SteveWitkoff must be happy.
Just a reminder of how long it took Ukraine to receive weapons:
First howitzer cannons? In 3 months.
First HIMARS? In 4 months.
First Western tanks? In 1 year.
First Patriot defense system? In 1 year and 2 months.
First ATACMS? In 1.5 years.
First F-16s? In 2.5 years.

Zablokowaliście granice kraju, który od trzech lat chroni Was przed własnym wrogiem, i to w dniu, w którym wspomina się o Ukraińcach zabitych z głodu.

Pomyśl o tym, co robisz.
Once again Russia’s UAV advances are driven by the second hand transfer of Western components. The China-Russia sanctions evasion nexus was critical for Gerbera’s creation
Western leaders: let’s call Vladimir and urge him to stop his brutal war in Ukraine; let’s express hope that the war will end in the coming months.
Putin:
Horrific footage from Odesa.
Russia delivered a missile strike on a residential area in Odesa.
Because when Russia kills Ukrainians and stays unpunished on the daily basis, it’s totally fine with the “X” hypocrites.
When Ukraine tries to fight back and save itself - it’s “WWIII”.
In the third year of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Western politicians continue to make shortsighted statements about possible "agreements" with a terrorist and murderer. While the German Chancellor calls criminal with an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, he expresses naive and populist hopes for "negotiations."
Putin, like a typical dictator, responds in the style of a thug: he disregards international rules and laws. For him, the main thing is to project strength, insisting that "might makes right." But instead of strength, he shows only cowardice: his answer consists of missile strikes on civilians, women, children, and the elderly.
Is this a demonstration of strength? No. It is cowardice. Putin fears only the Ukrainian people – and nothing else. He does not fear Western politicians; he openly mocks them. His stance is clear: "What will you do to me? I continue to ignore you, killing children and sending hundreds of thousands more to their deaths, including those abducted from occupied territories. You don't even allow Ukraine to defend itself fully!"
The weakness of Western partners is not just a political issue. It is the price paid with the lives of Ukrainian children. Responsibility for civilian deaths also lies with those who, through their indecisive actions, continue to appease the aggressor.
When will the world, apart from Ukraine, finally demonstrate true opposition to terrorist Russia? Is everyone so weak and fearful that they merely watch these crimes unfold without decisive action?
The new Russian UAV ‘Gerbera’, which imitates the Shahed-136/Geran-2 to overload Ukrainian air defence, turned out to be a modified prototype of the Chinese aircraft model manufacturer Skywalker Technology Co., Ltd.
This was reported by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine on their website "War & Sanctions". Russia is only assembling the drone at its Alabuga factory, using kits originally imported from China. Moreover, it contained electronics from 18 Western companies.
List of companies whose components were detected in the drone:
6 companies from China: Skywalker Technology Co, Ltd, Mile Hao Xiang Technology, Topotek, Xingkay Tech, UIY Inc and XLSEMI.
They also use elements from 18 international companies: Texas Instruments, National Semiconductor, ATMEL Corporation, U-blox, STMicroelectronics, NXP Semiconductors, Altera Corporation, Infineon Technologies, Ampleon, Xilinx Inc, Realtek, Pulse Electronics Corporation, Micron Technology, Analog Devices, Integrated Silicon Solution, Monolithic Power Systems, Linear Technology Corporation.

While Ukraine fights for months to secure new weapons, permissions to deploy them, and investments in its defense industry, Russia obtains what it needs to kill Ukrainians and seize their land.
Closing loopholes in sanctions is challenging, but not impossible. Efforts must be stepped up. Helping Ukraine with one hand while allowing Russia to arm with another is no strategy for success.
