For the first time an Ukrainian drone struck a target more than 2,000 km (1,250 miles) from Ukrainian lines. The Tyuman refinery, which is east from the Ural Mountains, was struck by a drone from the Ukrainian company "Firepoint".
This has been announced by President Zelenskyy.
Yesterday, the President of Poland noted that the Order of the White Eagle is not an ordinary award. It is a symbol of the highest trust of the Republic of Poland. It signifies a special bond with the Polish state and the special gratitude of the Polish People. Such a symbol requires not only merit, but also respect for the values that form the foundation of our community.
Therefore, if it is considered that this special symbol may remain with Catherine II, Benito Mussolini, and Gerhard Schröder, then we in Ukraine will not argue with that.
Ukraine is grateful to the Polish People for their support and cooperation, which play a significant role in the struggle for our and your independence from Russia.
Ukraine never forgets solidarity and understands that cooperation between states and peoples in our region is one of the tangible security guarantees for Ukrainians and for each neighboring state.
Ukraine will continue to defend itself in this war unleashed by Russia, and we will undoubtedly achieve a dignified peace.
Ukraine is grateful to all peoples, states, and leaders who will continue to stand with us in the defense of freedom and who, together with Ukraine, will serve as guarantors of postwar peace in Europe and a new, real security.
Ukraine will remain open to all meaningful formats of engagement with Poland in order to try to avoid conflicting interpretations of the difficult and painful chapters of our shared past and to ensure proper respect for all innocent victims of the 20th century.
And Ukrainians are doing everything in our power to ensure that Europe does not suffer defeat in this century.
I am proud of our people and of EVERY Ukrainian warrior – of the millions of Ukrainian men and women who deserve unquestionable respect for the heroism the Ukrainian People have shown in defending themselves against Russian aggression.
We believed that the Order of the White Eagle, awarded in 2023, was meant for the Ukrainian People and our army. That is what was said at the time. Today, I sent the Order back to the President of Poland.
I believe the future will confirm the respect Ukrainians deserve.
Glory to Ukraine!
Russians again attempting to create one of history's great environmental catastrophes, having just targeted the massive Dnieper Hydroelectric Dam.
Russians understand only killing, stealing, destroying and more killing.
The death toll from the russian attack on Zaporizhzhia has risen to 5, with 10 others injured - Regional Administration reported‼️
They launched 9 glide bombs on the city in the middle of the day. It is pure and simple terrorism. Again.
Eine Verkäuferin in Almaty antwortete einer russischsprachigen Kundin auf Kasachisch – und ließ sich auch nicht einschüchtern. Der Staat gab ihr recht: Geldstrafe für die Käuferin, möglicherweise noch eine zweite wegen unerlaubter Filmaufnahme. Vor 2022 wäre das in einem Land mit 20% russischer Minderheit und langer Moskau-Abhängigkeit kaum vorstellbar gewesen. Der Krieg hat etwas verschoben. Kasachstan nennt Kasachisch Staatssprache – und meint es jetzt ernst. Stanford-Forscher belegen: Je stärker Kasachen den Ukraine-Krieg als zentrales Problem wahrnehmen, desto schwächer wird das Vertrauen in Putin. Die Angst vor Russland verpufft – Supermarkt für Supermarkt. 🇰🇿🇷🇺🇺🇦
"My female happiness is 120 dead Russians a day. A bit different from the most.
Overall, happiness is the same for men, women, and children." — Sarakin, commander of a strike drone company in Ukraine's K-2 Unmanned Systems Forces for hromadske.

Today, Fire Point drones set a new record: they flew 2,500 kilometers into Russia and launched a strike on Tyumen oil refinery.
As Shoigu said, there are no safe places in Russia now.
A rare occasion to agree with Shoigu!
Historisch ungenau: In #Wuppertal hängen noch Schilder zu „russischen“ Zwangsarbeitern, obwohl viele Opfer aus der #Ukraine oder Belarus stammten. Habe Bürgerantrag zur Korrektur eingereicht! Schaut in euren Städten hin: Findet ihr auch solche Fehler in der Erinnerungskultur?
Irgendwie hat der Nazi-„Krieg gegen Russland“ dem ukrainischen Volk etwa acht Millionen Menschenleben gekostet.
Zur historischen Verantwortung gehört auch die Verantwortung der Medien, mit irreführenden Schlagzeilen nicht ungewollt russische Propaganda widerzuspiegeln.
Just want to say thank you to all the Poles out there who still support Ukraine, understand and respect historical context/nuance, have a genuine desire for reconciliation, building a strong and lasting friendship and aren't buying into the current political nonsense. Dziękuję.

💔 Dobropillia, Donetsk region.
Life is still flickering here — but you can already feel it slipping away.
Day after day, russia turns Ukrainian cities into ghost towns — like Bakhmut, Pokrovsk, and many before them.
And the world… just keeps watching. It hurts like hell.
"I'm scared..."
"It's okay, little one. Don't be afraid anymore. We've got you."
Rescuers freed a six-year-old girl trapped under the rubble after Russian guided bombs partially destroyed a residential building in Kharkiv overnight. Heavy equipment was deployed to rescue the kid.
The Russian strike killed one person and injured nine others, including two children.

Un colaj de pe frontul din Ucraina -
Instrumentalizarea crestinismului ortodox in folosul crimelor și drăcoveniilor armatei ruse
În primul rând, steagul armatei ruse cu chipul lui Hristor a apărut de multe ori, în ultimii ani, și in Romania. Urmăresc fenomentul de trei ani, dar acesta a explodat în ultimii doi ani.
Steagul apare:
- la protestele AUR (promovat de George Simion)
- la protestele organizate de Sosoaca
- la evenimentele neamunit (Aureliu Surulescu)
- a aparut in Piata Victoriei, adus de "preotul" Feodor Afanasii, un apropiat al amabsadei Rusiei, si/sau de tovarasii lui
- la biserica lui Becali din Pipera
- etc.
(revin ulterior cu o serie de fotografii de la evenimente la care a fost afișat steagul).
Un steag folosit intens de armata rusa, este unul dintre cele mai importante simboluri ale rusilor in invazia din Ucraina, incepand cu 2014.
Atasate sunt doar cateva imagini de pe front, din ultimii 12 ani
***
Steagul roșu pe care este reprodus chipul lui Iisus Hristos este un simbol cu încărcătură istorică, religioasă și politică puternică pentru imperialismul rusesc, întins pe secole.
Cunoscut în tradiția "ortodoxă" rusă drept „Mântuitorul Nefăcut de Mână” sau Mandylionul, acest steag a devenit în ultimii ani unul dintre cele mai puternice instrumente vizuale ale propagandei ruse și ale imperialismului "ortodox" militant rus.
Din punct de vedere istoric, chipul lui Iisus „Nefăcut de Mână” este una dintre cele mai vechi icoane ruse.
Încă din perioada Cnezatului Moscovei, această icoană era purtată ca stindard de luptă de armatele ruse. Cel mai faimos exemplu istoric este campania lui Ivan cel Groaznic împotriva Hanatului Kazanului din 1552, când armata rusă a mărșăluit sub un stindard roșu uriaș cu chipul Mântuitorului, considerând expansiunea lor o „cruciadă” ortodoxă.
Tradiția s-a atenuat în perioada sovietică, dar a fost reînviată de mișcările imperialiste ortodoxe ruse după căderea URSS.
A început să fie folosit în conflictele moderne încă din 2014, în regiunea Donbas, de către milițiile separatiste pro-ruse (precum gruparea numită chiar „Armata Ortodoxă Rusă”).
Odată cu invazia la scară largă a Ucrainei din 2022, steagul a fost adoptat la nivel cvasi-oficial de trupele rusești și e adesea binecuvântat de preoții afiliați Patriarhiei Moscovei înainte de a fi trimis pe front.
Prezența lui pe frontul din Ucraina are mai multe roluri propagandistice:
- Susținerea blestemăției despre „Războiul Sfânt al Rusiei împotriva Occidentului. Folosirea chipului lui Iisus transformă un război de agresiune teritorială într-o misiune cu caracter mesianic. Propaganda rusă, susținută de Patriarhul Kirill, promovează ideea că Rusia nu luptă doar împotriva Ucrainei, ci duce o bătălie spirituală împotriva „satanismului” și a „valorilor decadente” ale Occidentului.
- Steagul cu Iisus este adesea arborat alături de steagul sovietic și de literele „Z” sau „V”, pentru a ilustra ideea de „Russkiy Mir” (Lumea Rusă), promovat de ideologii Kremlinului ca Dughin.
* Este o fuziune între imperialismul țarist/"ortodox" și nostalgia puterii sovietice.
* Scopul nu este coerența ideologică, ci unirea tuturor simbolurilor puterii rusești împotriva Occidentului.
România are propria ei tradiție vizuală ortodoxă, dar adoptarea acestui stindard (designul roșu cu icoana rusă a Mântuitorului) de către grupări locale din sfera AUR-Șoșoiacă reprezintă un import ideoloig.
Steagul apare la proteste, la organizații precum Neamunit, în mediul politic dominat de AUR sau Diana Șoșoacă, ori în anturajul lui Gigi Becali
- Chiar dacă unii dintre cei care îl poartă în România se declară „naționaliști români”, folosirea unui simbol consacrat de armata rusă în Ucraina arată o aliniere la narațiunile Moscovei.
- Există o fascinație a grupurilor radicale europene față de regimul lui Putin, pe care îl percep ca pe un apărător al „valorilor creștine tradiționale”.
- Organizațiile neo-legionare sau ortodoxiste (precum Neamunit) folosesc această imagistică pentru a legitima protestele lor împotriva restricțiilor (în timpul pandemiei) sau împotriva diverselor politici europene. Designul steagului rusesc este grafic foarte puternic și intimidant, potrivit pentru proteste radicale.
Ceea ce a fost la origini o icoană bizantină a fost transformat și instrumentalizat de Rusia într-un stindard al imperialismului său militaro-religios.
Exportul și preluarea acestui steag în România demonstrează eficiența războiului hibrid rusesc împoriva Româmiei.
Another two ships have left the Irish port since this video, straight to russia.
Important to remember this hasn’t slowed down. Ireland is still helping the Kremlins war machine. Aughinish still operates.
Breaking News
There are unconfirmed stories coming out of Kyiv that both Kyrylo Budanov & Robert Madyar were seen smiling this morning.
As yet nothing has been confirmed, but there is too much talk to ignore the possibility?
The children.
Forever changed by war.
Illegally deported/adopted by Russia.
Scarred mentally & physically by growing up with bombs falling around them. Losing their family members.
Why do we allow this to continue?
❗️President Zelenskyy on Belarus and Lukashenko: if Lukashenko doesn't take down repeaters that help attack Ukrainian civilians, Ukraine will do that for him:
Now Russia will continue to push him [Lukashenko] into this war. Now he understands that Ukraine will respond.
Today, he has, repeaters on his towers. On his territory, along two regions bordering Ukraine, there is equipment that adjusts fire on the Ukrainian population.
They are killing civilians there.
There are repeaters on the corresponding towers. Can he take it down? Why say that he doesn’t want to be in the war? Let him take down this equipment. Let him turn off this equipment.
I think that a week will be enough for him to do this.
If he doesn’t do it, we will. Just like his, for example, oil industry. We are doing everything to prevent the Russians from being able to sell oil.
