Another strike on a Russian oil refinery in Omsk – one of the major refineries – as well as on the Ukhta oil refinery, 1,900 kilometers from Ukraine’s state border. The target in Ukhta was hit by An-196 RS drones, which can fly about 2,500 kilometers, while FP-6 drones (modified FP-1s) were used against the Omsk refinery the day before. We continue to respond to Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, and we’re doing so with high precision. Another data center was hit as well – our symmetrical response. An important display of accuracy by our warriors. Glory to Ukraine!
To those who claimed that no woman in Iran has ever been flogged for refusing to wear the hijab: LOOK AT HER BACK.
This woman is one of the brave members of my #WhiteWednesdays campaign against compulsory hijab.
She sent me this photo of her scarred back after being punished with 74 lashes for the “crime” of showing her hair.
Holding a Woman, Life, Freedom slogan, she refused to be silenced. Here is her testimony:
“The morality police arrested me for resisting their van. My ‘crime’ was unveiling. After months of court hearings, I was sentenced to 74 lashes. The cleric overseeing the punishment stood there to ensure it was carried out.
I won’t give up my fight against this brutal regime, but we are fed up with living as prisoners in our own homeland.”
Seventy-four lashes. For showing her hair. In the 21st century.
This is barbarism. And you tell me, how is this different from ISIS?
RUSSIAN TROOPS ARE BEING FED INTO THE SAME POSITIONS AGAIN AND AGAIN 🇷🇺🇺🇦
A Ukrainian commander known as “Rys” describes a brutal pattern on the front: Russian 🇷🇺 troops holding every strongpoint, village, farmstead and cellar because retreat can be as dangerous as advancing.
“Coming at us means death or captivity. We offer every one of them the chance to surrender.”
But according to Rys, many refuse even when surrender is offered.
He says Russian propaganda has convinced soldiers that Ukrainian 🇺🇦 captivity means torture, gas chambers or mutilation, leaving some so terrified that they would rather die than give themselves up.
The result is a grinding cycle.
“Every day the Russians bring 8 to 10 men into the same tree line. It is just 100 m further on. Our infantry clears it again and must pull back to rest.”
Then another group arrives.
That, Rys says, is how Russia slows Ukrainian advances: constantly refilling the same contested positions with small groups of men.
“They spend people like candy wrappers. It is as if they print them on printers.”
The terrain barely moves, but the human cost keeps rising.
I’m begging you. Stop and watch this one minute.
This is not a movie.
This is Ukraine today.
As of 4:00 p.m., at least 37 people have been killed and dozens wounded. Among them are children.
▪️Kramatorsk: 33 killed, 18 wounded.

This is not a battlefield report.
This is daily life for millions of Ukrainians.
Please. Look at it. And act — if there’s any humanity left.
