You know your high-tech air defense is a total joke when it gets completely outsmarted by a weapon that looks like an ordinary flock of migrating birds... 🦅💥

Ukrainian forces have officially pushed drone warfare into pure science fiction territory. They deployed a swarm of bio-mimetic drones against the Engels-2 strategic bomber base near Saratov. These drones are custom-designed and programmed to mimic the exact migration patterns and natural flight formations of birds.

And guess what? Russian radar systems didn’t suspect a thing. They probably assumed it was just geese heading south—right up until the "birds" suddenly dove onto the main runway, taxiways, and bomber hangars.

The dramatic results speak for themselves in image_63cf3a.jpg: massive explosions and absolute devastation. Several of Russia’s prized Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers were severely damaged by secondary blasts as the hangars went up in flames.

Imagine being in the Kremlin right now, realizing that your multi-billion dollar defense grid can't tell the difference between a seagull and a deadly explosive. Grandpa Putin will probably order his air defense to start shooting at literally everything with feathers from now on. 🤷‍♂️🦆

❗ A horrible Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia with aerial bombs and drones.

A kindergarten was struck.

Two people were killed, and 15 others were injured.

Deepest condolences...

Russia must be stopped.

The UN has confirmed 129 executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russian forces since 2022, including cases where detainees were no longer taking part in combat.

From November 2025 to January 2026 alone, 37 executions were documented in 18 separate incidents. Almost all released prisoners reported torture and ill-treatment, and cases of sexual violence were also recorded.

The report also details human rights violations in the temporarily occupied territories, including arbitrary detention, forced mobilization, and the imposition of Russian education systems.

🇺🇦 F-16 DESTROYS 4 RUSSIAN HELICOPTERS IN LOW-LEVEL STRIKE ON TAGANROG BASE

Ukrainian F-16 fighter jets reportedly carried out a bold airstrike against a Russian helicopter base near Taganrog in Russia's Rostov region.

Flying at very low altitude to avoid radar detection, the aircraft allegedly struck helicopters parked on the airfield, destroying at least four, including Ka-52 attack helicopter models.

The base, which had reportedly been used to support assaults on Ukrainian positions, was left engulfed in flames, with multiple secondary explosions reported across the site.

If confirmed, the operation would mark the first deep manned strike inside Russian territory using Western-supplied fighter aircraft.

👇 Will Russia move more of its aviation assets farther from the front line after this raid?

TIME TO SAY GOOD BYE: Russian occupation authorities have prepared plans for the evacuation of up to 250,000 people — including gov't agencies, institutions & civilians-- from occupied Crimea.

This is ​Fatima, a sixth-year medical student at Kharkiv National Medical University.

Russia killed her today.

She came to the city for her university graduation. She was only 23.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Since the start of the full-scale war, the Russian army has been given as many as 15 deadlines for capturing our Donetsk region. Russia’s political leadership remains obsessed with Donbas. They have entertained this delusion – that they would fully capture Donbas – 15 times already.

In 2022, the deadlines were March 31, then May 9, June 1, September 15, and December 31. In 2023, Putin set two more deadlines for capturing Donbas: March 1, and then, when that failed again, they moved it to December 31. In 2024, there were again two such deadlines.

In 2025, when the Russians tried to convince President Trump that Ukraine would supposedly fall, there were already three final dates for capturing the Donetsk region, namely, September 1, December 1, and December 25.

Already this year, the Russians have again pushed back the date for the capture of the Donetsk region. At first, they had set a deadline of March 31 of this year, then September 1, and now the deadline is December 31.

If Russia does not end its war, they will have to move this deadline again as well. If Putin wants to sacrifice another million of his soldiers to keep smashing against this wall, then the million Russians who have not yet been mobilized into the Russian army and are arguing in gas lines should think about what awaits them next.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

Russians are fleeing Crimea, shocked that the war their country started has finally reached them. This is likely only the beginning of their nightmare. Ukraine has turned the dial to 10 and is now shaping the course of this war.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

For the second time, our sanctions in response to Russia’s prolongation of the war have reached the oil refinery in Ufa, one of Russia’s largest producers of lubricants. The distance is more than 1,300 kilometers from the frontline.

Also in the Penza region, our weapons reached a strategic facility of Russia’s military-industrial complex involved in developing and manufacturing components for missile weaponry that the occupiers use to strike our cities and communities. The distance to the target is about 600 kilometers from the frontline.

Every day, our plan for imposing Ukrainian long-range sanctions is being implemented. This is an entirely just response to everything Russia is doing against us. Peace is needed, and this is exactly what Russia’s leadership must realize. Russia must end its war. And Russia’s leadership has every opportunity to do so. I thank every Ukrainian warrior who ensures our long-range accuracy.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Today, our long-range sanctions against Russia for this war once again reached the Dubna space communications center in the Moscow region. This is a special satellite communications facility used, in particular, for reconnaissance and for coordinating the activity of Russia’s occupation contingent in Ukraine.

The distance from our state border to this facility is more than 500 kilometers. Recently, our Defense Forces of Ukraine already reached four such Russian centers, not only in the Moscow region but also in the Vladimir region. Step by step, we are implementing our plan of long-range sanctions and making it as difficult as possible for the aggressor state to carry out its invasion operations against Ukraine and the occupation of our territories. Relevant actions are also being prepared against other similar enemy facilities.

I thank our warriors for their accuracy! Glory to Ukraine!

Ukraine is now destroying Putin’s last myth - that Russia has a powerful army, navy, and air force. In reality, Putin cannot even protect Moscow. The rest of Russia is even less defended.

Putin will be remembered as a pathetic, miserable failure and the murderer of hundreds of thousands of people. The man who brought Russia to ruin.

This is the price of Ukrainian bread.

Kherson. Burning wheat fields.

These aren't just fields.

They're food set ablaze by russian drone strikes.

Firefighters can't reach the fires.

russia isn't just destroying Ukraine. It's burning food meant to feed the world.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

In December 2022, during russia’s occupation of Mariupol, Ukrainian books from the library of the Pryazovskyi State Technical University were thrown out, piled in the street, and burned. This is not just an act of vandalism — it’s an attempt to erase Ukrainian language, culture, and identity.

Wherever russia occupies, it systematically bans Ukrainian language in schools, replaces curricula with russian propaganda, and destroys cultural symbols. It’s a brutal continuation of a long history of russification and cultural repression.

Book burning is a powerful symbol — it shows fear of free thought and national memory. And yet, each burned book reminds us why Ukraine’s resistance matters: because words and ideas are as dangerous to tyrants as weapons.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Arrived in Ireland to take part in the opening ceremony of Ireland’s presidency of the Council of the European Union. I will also meet with Taoiseach Micheál Martin and President of the European Council António Costa.

Every day, Ukraine proves that it deserves to be an equal part of our shared European home. And we hope that during Ireland’s presidency of the Council of the European Union, we will be able to achieve tangible progress on the path to membership and open all negotiating clusters.

Russian occupation of Crimea is collapsing.
Russia is closing down banks on the peninsula, even the ATMs don't function in this state-owned Sberbank in Yalta.

☝️ Magyar stated on his page that approximately 15,000–20,000 Russian occupying troops are now under Ukrainian fire control in southern Ukraine. He also claimed that some Russian units are already seeking negotiations to surrender.

According to the statement, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to intensify pressure in the south while systematically disrupting Russian logistics. As a result, a large grouping of Russian forces is reportedly under constant pressure.

The troops are said to be experiencing serious shortages of food, ammunition, and fuel due to disrupted supply lines.

At the same time, logistics routes behind Russian positions are reportedly continuing to collapse and are being brought under Ukrainian fire control.

Magyar said this has left a significant number of Russian troops with severely degraded combat capability and little remaining motivation. He claimed that 15,000–20,000 Russian soldiers could potentially surrender, even to a third party.

These remarks were made by the Commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces. He added that the situation remains dynamic and continues to evolve.

Believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukraine will prevail!

Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

A Russian explains why Ukraine must win:

"I want Ukraine to win because only its victory can help Russia get rid of the disease it suffers from - its current government. Losing this senseless war could finally bring it down.

I want my country to prosper. But it never will with these f*ckers in power."

ゼレンスキーに警告されてベラルーシがロシアのドローン誘導施設？を停止した。
それで怒ったプーチンにルカシェンコが呼び出されて脅された。ベラルーシは参戦すれば国が疲弊し参戦しなければプーチンに殺される。
困ったルカシェンコは習近平に会いに行く。
習近平にベラルーシの主権を支持すると言わせる。
なかなかダイナミックで有能な政治家だ。独裁者じゃなかったらよかったのに。
その後に習近平がプーチンと電話会談したというが、噂ではそろそろ戦争止めとけよ、と言ったとか言わないとか。これでルカシェンコが窓から落ちたら習近平の顔がつぶれる。プーチンはイライラしてるだろうな。結局プーチンのテレビインタビューから放送前にルカシェンコを強く糾弾する部分がカットされたという。今中国の機嫌を損ねたらロシアは戦争を続けられない。なのでルカシェンコに罰を与える事は出来ないだろう。つまりベラルーシ参戦は無くなった。ここ最近の中では最も状況が動いた瞬間ではないだろうか。

1/ Ukraine is reported to be systematically targeting fluid catalytic cracking units at Russian oil refineries, aiming to destroy complex machinery that Russia can't repair itself and may take years to replace. As a result, the current fuel crisis may be a prolonged one. ⬇️

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

Why is reporting on russians in fuel queues more important than reporting on the daily killing of Ukrainians?

Today alone, at least 10 civilians have been killed.

This is the reality in Ukraine.

Why isn't this leading every headline?

💔📽 This is Zaporizhzhia. Right now.
