Trump made a new statement today on the 2022 Battle of Kyiv:
“They got stuck in the swamp, almost like in quicksand. It was mud, like quicksand. They could not move. If that general had just gone straight on the concrete highway, that speaks volumes.
That is why war is always associated with risk. If he had just moved straight on the highway to the city, they would have been in Kyiv in four hours and Ukraine would have been able to do nothing.
This war would have ended in 1 day. This was 4.5 years ago. It was a huge mistake. The general decided to go through the field instead of the road and highway”
When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
❗️The crew of a Yak-52 light aircraft from the 🇺🇦11th Separate Army Aviation Brigade "Kherson" demonstrated how they destroy 🇷🇺Russian kamikaze drones of the "Shahed"/"Geran" type.
❗️New prime minister of Hungary Péter Magyar: Together we have replaced the Orbán regime, together we have liberated Hungary, we have taken back our homeland.
The utterly bizarre comments from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Russia is reportedly giving Iran intelligence on U.S. military assets, yet in the same week she blames Biden and Ukraine for the situation the U.S. now finds itself in.
Make it make sense.
DEAN: “What’s the tariff on bananas?”
LUTNICK: “10%.”
DEAN: “Walmart already raised banana prices by 8%.”
LUTNICK: “Well, if you build in America, there’s no tariff.”
DEAN: “You can’t build bananas in America.”
Ukrainian pilots of the 28th Mechanized Brigade documented Russian phosphorus attacks on residential buildings in Kostyantynivka, immediately followed by a FAB-1500 strike. Official estimates show about 2000 civilians still in the city.
Insane dashcam footage from a Ukrainian car driving near the town of Oleshky in the Kherson region February 24, 2022, showing Ukrainian fighters engaging russian paratroopers.
Footage from the Battle of Melitopol is quite rare. This is one example, showing National Guard fighters taking up combat positions while awaiting a Russian attack, with confused civilians visible in the background.

Prince Harry:
Over the past year, I've had the honor and privilege of visiting Ukraine twice. Each time I left deeply moved by the courage, dignity and unbreakable spirit of the Ukrainian people.
For four years, Ukraine has stood firm. You've shown the world what true resilience looks like. You reminded us all that freedom and independence are never guaranteed.
They need protecting, defending, and when necessary, fighting for.
Today, as Ukraine marks the anniversary of the start of this war, I want to speak directly to you, to those on the front lines, and to those supporting from the home front. Your strength inspires the world.
Your bravery unites us, and your hope lights a path forward for us all. Please know that you are not alone. The world stands with you, and we continue to learn from your courage every single day.
Stay strong, stay brave, stay hopeful. Slava Ukraine!
