Reflecting on last year, I realized I talked too much and listened too little. My resolution: listen more, speak less.
To the reliable military analysts I was rude to: I sincerely apologize for my foolishness. To my followers: I hope you stay, but I understand if you don't.

@Majakovsk73 Could Ukraine hold it for the rest of the year if the fuel crisis continues to worsen for Russia ?

More scenes from Moscow.

Ukrainian mid-range strike drones swarmed a key railway and road bridge junction in Russian-occupied Crimea overnight.

Seen here, a Ukrainian FP-2 slams into the road bridge, with local sources reporting that traffic has been paralyzed on the Kerch-Dzhankoy railway line.

Ukrainian attack drones successfully struck Russia's Moscow oil refinery this morning, setting the facility ablaze.

Several Ukrainian drones were shot down on approach, but multiple appear to have punched through Russian air defenses.

Spectacular explosion in the Kapotnya refinery in Moscow, Russia. This silo not only exploded but also catapulted the roof of the building into the air.

@nexta_tv And the worst part of all is he isn't the only parent in Ukraine who went from telling their kids "I love you" to "I miss you" due to the war. There are tens of millions of parents who have also lost time being with their kid.

Zelensky was moved to tears when answering a question about his children

— When your children were little, what did you say to them most often? What did you repeat to them the most when they were children? — a journalist asked the President of Ukraine.

— “I love you.”

— And what do you say to them now, when they are grown up?

— “I miss you…”

Volodymyr and Olena Zelensky have two children — a daughter, Oleksandra, who is now 21, and a 13-year-old son, Kyrylo. For the past four years, they have hardly seen their father.

⚡️Zelensky: “Putin is afraid of one million Russian soldiers who will return and ask: ‘What did we fight for?’”

John McCain described Russia as a "gas station masquerading as a country".

That gas station has now run out of fuel.

“Russia would gladly see the war frozen along the current front lines. They want the occupied territories to be accepted as Russian and to claim it as a victory.

That will never happen.”

Наша робота — тримати небо.

Коли вмикаються сирени і міста завмирають, для нас починається найважливіший відлік. У цей момент немає місця для страху чи втоми. Є лише чіткі координати, секундні рішення і надлюдська відповідальність.

Ми знаємо: кожна ціль на наших екранах — це не просто метал. Це чиясь спроба принести смерть у житловий будинок, лікарню чи в окоп до наших побратимів, які тримають передову.

Коли ви чуєте глухий вибух у небі — це не просто звук війни. Це врятоване життя. Це дім, який залишився цілим. Це дитина, яка прокинеться вранці.

Ми не вважаємо себе винятковими, ми просто робимо свою роботу. Але ця робота — бути щитом між вогнем і тими, кого ми любимо. Ми захищаємо кожного цивільного в тилу і кожного солдата на фронті.

Цієї ночі, як і кожної наступної, ми не стулимо очей. Ми пильнуємо. Ми б'ємося за кожний метр нашого неба.
Тримаємо стрій. Небо буде чистим. 🇺🇦

🫡Світла та безпечної служби вам і вашим побратимам. Дякуємо за кожне врятоване життя.

😭🕯 Veronika Chuyan, a 29-year-old mother, was killed yesterday during the Russian attack on Kyiv. She was running to a bomb shelter, desperately trying to get her children to safety.

​She was trying to save her two little boys, aged 5 and nearly 3.

​A Russian missile exploded right next to the family. Veronika died on the spot. Her eldest son is now in the hospital; he suffered severe injuries and underwent emergency surgery. Her youngest child escaped with only bruises.

A very detailed and well reported look at the "pipeline war" - Russia's attempts to bypass Ukrainian positions by sending soldiers into suffocating Soviet-era pipelines.

Most do not survive for long, either asphyxiating inside the pipes or being killed shortly after they emerge.

Ukrainian Defence Minister Fedorov announces a new campaign of middle strikes designed to "systematically destroy enemy logistics and supply lines".

Ukrainian middle strikes is already having a significant impact on Russian logistics in occupied south eastern Ukraine.

[Денис Казанський @den_kazansky]

Horrific footage from Kramatorsk (Donetsk region). Russia dropped an air bomb on a residential area.

Putin demands that this city and these people must be given to him. He calls them "Russians." And every day, his army bombs and kills them.
