Civil war in Russia.
The protests are growing louder.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Every Russian defense facility that serves the war against Ukraine is a just target for our long-range sanctions.

Last night, FP-5 Flamingo missiles successfully struck the Titan-Barrikady facility in Volgograd. It is a major industrial complex where the enemy produces artillery systems and specialized military equipment, including components for missile launch systems used in attacks against our people. Confirmed strikes were followed by a fire on the plant's premises. I thank the warriors of our Defense Forces for their precision.

The reach of Ukraine's long-range sanctions continues to expand. And it is precisely our pressure, day after day, that lays the groundwork for a dignified peace in the end. I am grateful to every Ukrainian engineer and warrior who is making our long-range capabilities possible. Glory to Ukraine!

“Liberated,” they said.

Bakhmut today shows what that word really means.

A city of 70,000 people, reduced to rubble after more than two years under “russkiy mir.”

Only ruins where a city once stood.

And the silence around it says as much as the destruction itself.

Why does the world tolerate russia’s daily human safari in Kherson?

Today, a russian drone struck a civilian car in broad daylight. Again.

A man burned alive inside his own vehicle.

Kherson is hunted every single day — while the world talks about gasoline shortages in russia.

Nobel Prize winner @avalaina Oleksandra Matviichuk speaks up about human safari in Kherson.

“Simply living in a Kherson becomes an act of resistance.”

This is how lSlS sold Yezidi women in slavery markets in Iraq, Syria and Turkey.

7,000 Yezidi women were kidnapped, raped and sold multiple times.
Still 2599 Yezidis missing after 11 years.

🚨 BREAKING: A Russian drone struck near a high-rise building in Sumy, injuring around 10 people, including children, according to preliminary reports.

Ukraine is waiting for every single one.

🇷🇺HEADS UP: Russia is on the brink of losing Crimea - and almost no one saw it coming.

Russia has declared a state of emergency across the Crimean peninsula after weeks of devastating Ukrainian strikes that have triggered widespread power blackouts and severe fuel shortages.

The impact is now unmistakable: growing numbers of Russians are fleeing the peninsula as critical infrastructure collapses.

Queues to leave are lengthening by the day, and if the current pace of attacks continues, the question is no longer if Russia will lose control of Crimea - but how long it can hang on.

📌I wonder how many Russian S-400 systems remain intact on the Crimean Peninsula after Ukraine’s recent wave of massive drone attacks.

❗❗ Worth watching till the end:

🇷🇺 In Russia's Sverdlovsk region, relatives of Russian soldiers blocked the Ministry of Defense's bus...

The bus carried soldiers who had previously been declared deserters.

Family members were trying to meet with them and deliver packages. They claim that the soldiers are ready to stand trial and not return to Ukraine to a guaranteed death.

🇷🇺 PUTIN’S HISTORIC FUEL “ACHIEVEMENT”

Putin has “achieved” something no Soviet or Russian leader has managed since 1945: fuel scarcity.

The word “collapse” is now being heard more often, including from a Russian truck driver filming a sea of stranded vehicles while driving past them.

For years, the Kremlin promised greatness. Now Russians are measuring it in empty tanks, stalled roads and fuel that no longer arrives.

[Denys from Ukraine @GlushkoDenys]

🤬 The number of people injured in Russia’s drone attack on Zaporizhzhia has risen to 15, including one child, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said.

Ukrainian "Flamingo" strikes military plant in Volgograd.

"Titan-Barrikady" is one of the key facilities of the Russian military-industrial complex. The company manufactures launch systems, artillery systems, and components for missile systems, including the Iskander-M, Yars, and Topol-M. The plant presumably operates on a two- or three-shift basis to fulfill orders for the Russian army.

The mother of 17yr old Louis, who was murdered by invaders, has released a statement:

"My son, my love, my life…

Since Saturday, life has stood still for me… You fought like a lion, my love, with all the strength I know you possess, and I thank you, my love, for giving me the chance to walk with you until the very last moment, my love…

You came into the world in my arms, and you left in my arms, surrounded by all your loved ones and their love… There are no goodbyes between us, my baby. You are and always will be with me…

Mom is in warrior mode, my son. You know I will fight with every ounce of strength I have to ensure justice is served for you...

I love you, my Boubou...so much that my heart no longer knows how to beat since its metronome has gone away… Dance with me, alongside God and the angels, to your music, my love."

Lest we forget.

On June 27, 2022, russia struck the Amstor Shopping Center in Kremenchuk while it was full of civilians.

22 people were killed. Over 50 injured.

And it didn’t stop there — because the world moved on.
