The Russian dictator is now so paranoid that he had this Russian artist murdered in Poland for paintings like this.
It'd be a shame if we made his works more popular than ever.
❗️Russian action artist Semyon Skrepietsky was murdered in 🇵🇱Poland, - NEXTA
He gained fame thanks to numerous political cartoons in which he harshly ridiculed the Russian leadership, in particular Putin and Kadyrov, and also criticized the war and post-Soviet reality in Russia.
The murder took place near a refugee camp.
Another piece of Ukraine’s cultural heritage targeted by Russia overnight is Kyiv’s Mystetski Arsenal, one of the country’s main contemporary art exhibition spaces that also houses its main literary festival. The building dates back to 1803. The war is not about a piece of land in Donbas. It is about exterminating Ukrainians as a separate people with their own culture, their own past and therefore their own future.
First responders have put out the fires in Kyiv – at the Lavra and the Mystetskyi Arsenal. I am grateful to all the services working at the sites of the strikes, and to everyone who is helping. It has been confirmed that two Russian drones deliberately targeted the part of the city where the Lavra and the Mystetskyi Arsenal are located. As of now, 35 people are reported injured in Kyiv. Across the country, 53 people have been wounded, and 11 people are known to have been killed in this massive Russian attack. My condolences to all their families and loved ones.
We are in constant communication with our partners regarding the consequences of this Russian attack and the necessary response. It is important that state leaders, public leaders, and international organizations do not remain silent. I have instructed Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our entire diplomatic team to maximize all contacts with partners today so that international events this week and next deliver real results for strengthening our defense and increasing global pressure on Russia over this war. We need a just response to this Russian strike. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine.
Efforts to deal with the aftermath of the Russian strikes are ongoing in Kyiv, as well as in Kharkiv. Last night, the Russians launched more than 60 missiles at the capital alone. In total, 70 missiles and 611 drones were used against Ukraine. As of now, 28 people have been reported injured and four killed in the capital. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. A Russian strike on the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra set the Dormition Cathedral on fire – a church whose history dates back to the 11th century. And this is one of Russia’s most serious crimes against Christian culture to date. The State Emergency Service has already extinguished the fire on the cathedral’s roof. In Kharkiv, the Russians carried out a repeat strike against our rescuers as they were putting out a fire at the site of an earlier strike on an industrial facility. So far, tragically, five people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. Nine people have been injured. In Dnipro, Russia struck the grounds of a railway station, a college, and several enterprises.
Other cities and communities were targeted as well. The Kyiv, Dnipro, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Mykolaiv regions were also under attack. This is how Russia shows the world its intention to continue the war. It is very important that there be a response from the G7 countries, which are now gathering for their summit – and that this response be decisive and substantive: more pressure on the aggressor and more support for Ukraine’s air defense, especially anti-ballistic capabilities. I thank everyone who is helping us protect lives.
Russia bombed the Kyiv Lavra — the holiest Orthodox site in Eastern Europe — and, among other targets, Ukraine’s main cinema studio. After his long conversation with Trump yesterday, Putin was confident he can launch a war of extermination on Ukrainian culture and national heritage.

The damage is severe, with a massive fire. Russians deliberately targeted the heart of one of Christendom's greatest shrines!
Our warriors have achieved good results in applying long-range sanctions against important facilities on the territory of Russia and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
More than 700 kilometers from our state border, in Russia’s Yaroslavl region, SSU warriors struck an oil facility that was important for the reserves of the aggressor state.
Warriors of our army reached their targets in Russia’s Tula region – specifically, the Azot plant, whose operations are critical to explosives production capabilities.
Air traffic restrictions were imposed at six Russian airports, and overall, since yesterday evening, 28 regions of Russia have been under air raid alerts.
There were also hits on the occupier’s military logistics in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.
Ukraine is carrying out its plan of long-range sanctions against Russia and the assigned tasks regarding mid-range strikes in response to Russia’s refusal to end this war. We have offered the Russian leadership every possible format for negotiations – and the only response was continued aggression and attempts to expand it. It stands to reason that the war is coming back to where it came from. Ukraine needs peace. Glory to Ukraine!
"Selenskyj soll die Tragödie des Holocaust nicht vergessen" - so #Putin gegenüber Trump. Der ukr. Präsident stammt aus einer jüdischen Familie. Eine unmissverständliche Drohung

Russian horror on Ukrainian civilians.

Meanwhile, AfD leader Alice Weidel chose to congratulate Russian player Mirra Andreeva, complaining that she had been denied the "customary honors" and insisting that sports should be apolitical.
Remind me again, which country is Alice Weidel supposed to be representing?
