Absolutely horrific scenes.
A russian missile has wiped out an entire street in Kyiv.
Osokorky district — a civilian neighborhood, hundreds of kilometers from the front line.
And yes — dear world, your tolerance and silence fuel russian terror.
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.
🤝 So when people ask me why I do this:
Looking away won't stop the war. On the contrary, ignoring it is exactly what brings it closer to the rest of us.
The only path to peace is pressure on the aggressor.
Our @69thSB trucks are helping. Let's bring wheels to the defenders 👇
Russia's defense industry depends on aluminum. Aluminum depends on alumina.
Estonia has proposed an EU ban on alumina exports to Russia. If we are serious about raising the cost of aggression, we must close this loophole.

Produttrice di #allumina#Aughinish che ha sede in Irlanda e che e’ dí proprietà russa. L’illumina esportata in #Russia va direttamente a finanziare la guerra criminale di #Putin. E’ ampiamente noto. Ci siamo rivolti per ben tre volte alla Commissione europea. E non intendiamo smettere…
Le nombre de victimes civiles par mois a été multiplié par 2,5 depuis le début de l'année.
NOUS NE FAISONS TOUJOURS RIEN.
La Russie intensifie et accélère sa politique de crimes de guerre systématiques.
NOUS NE FAISONS TOUJOURS RIEN.

😡 A Russian tech boss who created software used to train Putin's killer drone forces is free to travel across the US and Europe.

Military historian Phillips O’Brien: There have been no U.S. peace efforts in Ukraine.
There have been efforts to get Putin a very good deal, forcing Ukrainians to give up more territory and people. That is not peace. That is Washington trying to deliver Putin a success. 1/
Пожалуйста, досмотрите это видео до конца ради поддержки харьковчан...
Харьков — город, который живёт вопреки войне. Под ударами, в темноте, без пауз на страх — он держится каждый день... 🙏
Ракеты прилетают быстрее сирен, атаки считаются сотнями, блэкауты стали реальностью. И всё равно город работает, учится под землёй, восстанавливается за часы, а не месяцы. Кофейни открыты, коммунальщики выходят сразу после прилётов, волонтёры помогают тем, кто рядом.
Харьков — это взаимовыручка, упрямство и человеческое достоинство. Это таксисты, которые вывозят бесплатно. Это генераторы во дворах и подземные школы для детей. Это город, который невозможно сломать.
Спасибо Харьковчане за стойкость, за характер, за веру и за пример, который вы даёте всей Украине!
🇫🇷Prenons le temps d'encaisser cette information.
Il n'a fait aucune études, n'a jamais travaillé, dans votre entreprise vous ne le prendriez même pas en stage.
Pourtant, des gens pensent qu'il serait capable de gérer la France en cas de guerre. La France ce n'est pas n'importe quel pays, c'est une puissance nucléaire, membre permanent du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU, dotée d'un droit de veto et engagée sur de nombreux théâtres diplomatiques et militaires à travers le monde.
Diriger un tel État exige une compréhension fine des équilibres internationaux et une capacité à gérer des crises qui dépassent largement les frontières nationales. Le président français n'est pas seulement un chef de gouvernement. Il est aussi le chef des armées et le garant de la dissuasion nucléaire.
Ses décisions peuvent avoir des conséquences directes sur la sécurité de l'Europe, les alliances françaises et la stabilité internationale. Une telle responsabilité demande une solide expérience politique et une connaissance approfondie des affaires stratégiques.
Si on regarde le CV de Bardella, c'est le vide total. Il a été placé là par son parti qui l'a bourré d'éléments de langage à apprendre par cœur. Cela ne suffit pas pour diriger efficacement et raisonnablement un pays comme la France, il faut prendre la mesure de ce que cela implique. À chaque fois qu'on lui parle de géopolitique, il est d'ailleurs complètement perdu.
Si on veut éviter le déclassement qu'on nous rabâche constamment, peut-être faut-il déjà éviter de donner les rênes à quelqu'un qui n'a jamais travaillé de sa vie.
I cringe every time I hear "Ukraine and russia exchanged attacks overnight."
Ukraine strikes military targets. russia strikes apartment buildings, hospitals, and civilians.
These are not equivalent actions. And they should not be reported as if they are.
„Ich habe das getan. Es ging nicht anders.“ Der russische Duma-Abgeordnete und General Andrej Gurulew gestand im Fernsehen, dass russische Truppen 2014 im Donbass Zivilisten töteten – auf seinen Befehl. Eine Frau und ein Kind. Damals, als Moskau noch schwor, dort stehe kein einziger russischer Soldat.
Das Geständnis zertrümmert gleich zwei Lebenslügen auf einmal: Es räumt die Morde ein. Und es beweist nebenbei, dass schon 2014 reguläre russische Verbände im Donbass kämpften – unter Moskauer Kommando. Dieser Krieg läuft nicht erst seit 2022. Er läuft seit zwölf Jahren.
Im selben Interview forderte Gurulew, Kyjiw so zu treffen, dass es „kein Wasser, keinen Strom, keine Kanalisation – nichts“ mehr gibt. Ein brutales Kriegsverbrechen, angekündigt ins Mikrofon, zur besten Sendezeit.
Und was machen jene Stimmen von AfD und BSW, die seit Jahren das Narrativ bedienen, die Ukrainer hätten den Krieg begonnen, als sie „das eigene, wehrlose russischsprachige Volk“ beschossen? Denen entgegnet nun ein russischer General: Nein. Wir waren das. Ich war das. Auf meinen Befehl.
Umstimmen wird sie das freilich nicht. Ihr Problem war nie ein Mangel an Beweisen, sondern ein Übermaß an Loyalität. Dieses Geständnis kommt für sie einfach vom falschen Mann.
Dabei fügt sich Gurulew nur in eine Reihe der Selbstenthüllungen. Igor Strelkow/Girkin erklärte schon im November 2014 der Zeitung Sawtra wörtlich: „Den Auslöser des Krieges habe ich gedrückt.“ Er brüstete sich damit, dass der gesamte Konflikt im Donbass ohne seine Einheit, die im April 2014 die Grenze überschritt und Slowjansk besetzte, nie in Gang gekommen wäre. Es wäre ausgegangen wie in Charkiw: ein paar Demonstrationen, dann Ruhe.
Jewgeni Prigoschin legte im Juni 2023, kurz vor seiner Meuterei, nach: Die offiziellen Kriegsgründe für die Invasion seien Lügen, von einer Bedrohung durch die Ukraine oder die NATO keine Spur. Der Krieg diene nur den Interessen der Eliten – und den Donbass-Konflikt habe man 2014 selbst angezettelt.
Gurulew ist kein Ausreißer. Er steht in einer zynischen Tradition: Alle paar Jahre setzt sich einer der Täter hin und packt aus. Freiwillig, ausführlich, vor laufender Kamera. Strelkow 2014, Prigoschin 2023, Gurulew 2026.
Russland entlarvt sich selbst – täglich, ungeniert, im Abendprogramm. Man müsste nur hinhören. Aber genau das war von den Apologeten hierzulande nie der Plan.
No, sweetie.
Donetsk was a city of a million roses when its own Ukrainian flag flew above it.
Back then, it was also the fastest-growing and most rapidly prospering city in Ukraine -- home to what was the finest regional airport in Eastern Europe, one of the world's best football stadiums, a state-of-the-art railway terminal, and one of the cleanest, best-maintained cities in the region.
Its elites were running Kyiv, and every time I visited Donetsk as a student, riding the famous trolleybus Route No. 2 through the city, I was amazed by how many new office buildings were appearing, how much money was flowing into the city, and how many international companies were opening their doors there.
Fifteen years ago, to us kids from Donbas, Donetsk felt like the center of the universe because it had everything one could possibly dream of. It was a young city of universities and libraries, where the overwhelming majority of boys and girls from across Donbas went to study, including those from my own small hometown an hour away by bus.
Names like Liverpool or Detroit Rock City may mean nothing to you, but our Ukrainian Donetsk was a city of great rock clubs and unforgettable concerts. We traveled there to see Western bands perform.
We bought rock merchandise at the legendary Right House store near Krytyi Market. Scorpions, Rihanna, and Beyoncé performed at the famous Donbass Arena. Schoolchildren from across Donbas were bused in to watch Shakhtar Donetsk matches. The city even had a famous monument to The Beatles.
It was a city where we sang songs on guitars in its beautifully maintained parks and along the Kalmius embankment before heading out to buy the famous "green Donetsk burgers." Our older friends moved there after graduation, formed rock bands, recorded full albums, and held wedding celebrations in the squares around Donbas Arena. We traveled there to visit the legendary Radio Market in search of films, music, and books.
And then you arrived.
And you turned the wealthiest, most prosperous Ukrainian city into a piece of shit.
You deceived many of its people with sweet promises of Russian oil-fueled prosperity broadcast from television screens, but what you brought instead was war.
You transformed a thriving city into a criminal wasteland ruled by ethnic gangs from Russia, into a kingdom of Stalinist terror straight out of the 1930s, complete with torture chambers in the infamous Izolyatsia prison camp. You turned the magnificent Donetsk Airport into lifeless gray rubble, while the vast stands of Donbas Arena have spent a second decade slowly being reclaimed by weeds instead of hosting Champions League finals and Metallica concerts.
You swept away an entire generation of the city's men through your forced mobilization and threw them against Ukrainian machine guns until there were barely enough people left to keep basic municipal services running. Because of you, prosperous Donetsk became a withered desert without reliable water, because your war destroyed the canal system that carried water from the Siverskyi Donets River into Donbas. For years now, people have lived with chronic water shortages and have been reduced shitting into plastic bags forever.
You dragged Donetsk back like seventy years in time. You turned it into a depressed backwater, devoid of hope and future. Even ten years ago, tens of thousands of people, the most active, the most talented, the most entrepreneurial, fled the city and found refuge in Kyiv and elsewhere in Ukraine. Many of them still remember our Donetsk with tears in their eyes, the Donetsk that existed before the arrival of the "Russian World."
You transformed it into something that even my pro-Russian acquaintances are shocked to see when they return after years of occupation.
It was you who trampled the million roses of our Ukrainian Donetsk into shit beneath the tracks of your tanks and the boots of your death troops, turning them into a foul swamp of death and despair.
And that stain will forever remain on the conscience of fascist Russia, which brings nothing but destruction, decay, and death wherever it goes.
Why would one of France’s most powerful media magnates leverage his entire network to defend a country that is actively waging a hybrid war against his country?
Whether driven by hidden financial incentives, blackmail, or an alignment of radical ideologies, Vincent Bolloré’s behavior points to a deliberate betrayal of France.
When RT France was banned, Bolloré essentially revived its mission by hiring its former boss, Xenia Fedorova. Under her considerable influence, his media empire has been transformed into a primary vector for hostile Russian state propaganda.
The network routinely manufactures lies to defend Moscow's invasion and shield the Kremlin from accountability. This sustained disinformation campaign systematically minimizes the horrific atrocities being committed in Ukraine.
This Kremlin narrative reached a new peak today with a front-page layout demanding an immediate restoration of French-Russian ties. By interviewing traitorous far-right politicians aligned with Moscow on the topic, the JDNews directly undermines French security during an active hybrid war.
This strategy is a financial failure. Shifting toward overt foreign propaganda has caused a decrease in viewership across key platforms like CNews.
This leaves the public to wonder what the Kremlin truly has on him. Is he on a secret payroll, suffering under blackmail, or simply acting as a traitor to France out of personal conviction?
France needs to finally stand up to him and do something about it
EU raises alarm: Serbia is massively granting citizenship to sanctioned Russians
According to an investigation by Radio Free Europe, in the first five months of 2026 alone, 44 Russians received Serbian passports, including individuals listed under US and Ukrainian sanctions.
In total, from 2022 to June 2026, more than 300 Russians were granted Serbian citizenship through an accelerated procedure. Serbian law allows this as an exception if authorities consider it to be in the “interests of the state.”
This provision bypasses the standard naturalization requirements.
The pace of passport issuance to Russians has sharply increased: this year, they received four times more citizenships than all other foreigners combined.
The EU is concerned that Serbian passports could allow sanctioned individuals to circumvent restrictions and travel freely across Europe without visas.
Russia has officially become the least peaceful country in the world, ranking 163rd out of 163 countries in the 2025 Global Peace Index.
The same people who claim Europe is unsafe live in the most dangerous country on Earth.
US is at spot 134, by the way.
