And finally: I am Ukrainian. I don't feel sorry for Russian soldiers. They are attacking our homes. They are killing our children.
They killed this infant and his mother a few days ago in Kharkiv region.
So that Russians don't die, they need to get out of my country. That's all, Elon @elonmusk
Elon Musk claims that Ukraine allegedly violated Starlink's terms of use and used the system on combat drones.
As someone who was inside the process at the Ministry of Defense, I can say with certainty that this is not true.
In February of this year, whitelists were introduced. Stationary terminals could be registered by both military personnel and civilians.
But for any satellite terminal to work while on the move, it had to be added to a special list and connected to the military Starshield system. Otherwise, no satellite communication terminals in Ukraine would work.
In other words, using civilian Starlink for drone missions was technically impossible. All drone missions that required satellite communication could only be carried out using Starshield.
We are very grateful to the United States and SpaceX for access to critically important satellite communications. Ukraine did not violate the terms of use.
Thank you, President @ZelenskyyUa.
The service members at CFB Wainwright were training to defend the values of freedom, democracy, and sovereignty. Values our nations share.
On behalf of Canadians, I am grateful for your thoughtful words and recognition of their service.
Every loss of life is a tragedy. Canada has done so much to help us protect lives in Ukraine, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and all Canadians following the explosion and fire at the military base in Wainwright. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those lost, and we wish a swift recovery to the injured.
President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦
There is a second petition to the Government of Canada to sanction russian propagandist Alexander Ovechkin for supporting a violation of the sovereignty or territorial integrity of Ukraine.
This scumbag is not welcome in Canada.
https://t.co/u8J7OFwZQA
Ovechkin is a supporter of Russia’s genocide against Ukrainians. Sign the petitions to make sure @ovi8 is denied entry to Canada!

It is Toonie Tuesday!
“We see, we do not forgive.”
This Toonie Tuesday we are working with our good friend Hotoke (@hotoke_shinei)
– a courageous soldier in the 164th Radio Technical Brigade. Together we will be collecting for a3D printer, EcoFlow and laptop, SUV and urgent repairs for 2 vehicles.
Our goal is $10k. This unit was recently hit by orcish attacks. Equipment was destroyed and personnel were injured – they now turn to us to help them get back on their feet.

This whole sordid incident highlights a big problem for Canadian conservatives.
The trolling and mockery of people at a Canadian cadet camp (including a teenager) by Hegseth started with posts from alt right Canadian "influencers," following a now familiar pattern.
It doesn't take these anger merchants of the Canadian right very long to figure out that there is a *much* bigger market for their bile in the United States.
The US is 8x our population, but polling suggests that the percentage of Americans who are tuned into MAGA style populism is at least 4 times greater than Canada.
So by producing content that appeals to the MAGA base, right wing Canadian content producers have a huge incentive to speak to an adjacent American market that is orders of magnitude larger than their accessible audience in Canada. That gets monetized through higher engagement numbers, and if they're really lucky, invitations to appear on MAGA media outlets that build their brand.
One way of doing so is content that mocks Canada. That appeals both to the small cohort of perennially angry hard right populists in Canada, plus the much larger number of Americans prone to believe that Canada is a socialist dystopia under the thrall of the Chinese Communist Party, etc.
The Hegseth post followed a similar pattern. Right wing Canadian quisling posts mockery of Canada, it ricochets around the US online right, gets on the radar screen of a social media staffer in the Trump Administration, and voila: a post from the Secretary of War body shaming young cadets in Vernon, BC. High fives all round!
In this case the US traction came from the "Pleb Reporter" account of libertarian live streamer Nick Belanger, who was one of the Maga North / Alberta separatist content producers given free red carpet treatment at the @CPC_HQ Convention earlier this year.
One prominent Conservative MP (who should know better) said he was "proud to welcome these content creators, these citizen journalists who serve to uphold the truth" to the Convention.
If that is really the attitude of the Conservative Party towards these unpatriotic anger merchants, it should get used to a very, very long run in opposition.
Fortunately, it doesn't have to be this way. A positive, patriotic conservatism that focuses on the concerns of the broad mainstream rather than these marginal voices of division can win back the confidence of Canadians.
This Toonie Tuesday we will be raising funds for Somebody: a combined special operations detachment. Besides that – it’s all OPSEC. This one is a black-ops Toonie fellas! We are collecting for 2 net guns, a sexy new laptop, an EcoFlow, diving gear for training and a van (or a Bentley if we can afford it).
Our goal is $17,960. This is a big order, but trust us Tooniacs, this one is definitely worth it. If you want to make a difference in a big way, this is the one to go big on.
Our top 3 donors will be able to send a message on a 💥🛩️, and 3 random fellas will be picked to also send a message! Tony would like to give you a hint for one of the times picked (it is within the first 30 minutes of kickoff).

The disgraced former mayor of New York, Rudy (I was just tucking in my shirt) Giuliani, has threatened to sue me for defamation over an interview in which I never said his name. No one even mentioned him.
I want to apologize to Rudy. Going forward I will be certain to say his name directly.
Rudy, you worked with known Russian agents and their proxies to spread lies about me and my father. Their names are Andrii Derkach, Konstantin Kulyk, Andriy Telizhenko and Oleksandr Dubinsky and more. Kulyk handed you a dossier filled with disinformation. You flew to Kyiv in December 2019 to sit down with Derkach, then went on television with him to sell his bullshit tapes.
Trump’s own national security adviser warned the White House that what you brought back was Russian disinformation. You kept going.
Then Trump’s own Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, sanctioned Derkach in September 2020 as an active Russian agent for over a decade, for spreading the same lies you are still spitting. Four months later, on his way out the door, Mnuchin sanctioned the rest of your sources. Kulyk. Telizhenko. Dubinsky. Eleven people and four media front companies in all. Not sanctioned by me. Not by my father. By Donald Trump’s Treasury Department.
And remember Vienna Rudy. In October 2019 you, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman had tickets to fly there to collect a hard drive, courtesy of Dmytro Firtash, an indicted oligarch who has spent a decade in Vienna fighting extradition to the United States. Lev and Igor were arrested at Dulles holding one-way tickets. You canceled yours the next morning. That was way before a computer repairman in Wilmington was ever a twinkle in your eye.
So please, @RudyGiuliani. Please, please sue me. Discovery will be a joy for everyone.
Whips crack and the toonies stack!
Ukraine supporters! This Toonie Tuesday we will be raising funds with the ultimate scambuster @Lorelei_0502 for the 356th Sep Btln, TDF "East". The battalion, like many others, has been deployed to high-intensity, active combat zones on the eastern front.
They are involved in setting up new positions, delivering ammunition, and providing air defence for strategically important facilities. They urgently need folding beds, charging stations, and generators. These are the bare necessities that keep a unit motivated and fighting.
Their type of work is critical but isn’t the type of work that can go viral on social media - which is why they don't have social media accounts. This is the type of unit that Toonie Tuesday was built for – we must not let them down!

CONFIDENTIAL - Project Q 🕵️♂️
00Fellas – the Special Purpose Sniper Unit of the 12th Special Forces Brigade “Azov” have asked for our support! This is your mission should you choose to accept it!
Warfare for snipers has changed. It’s not the same as it was in 2022.
PROJECT Q is our new fundraiser for Azov’s drone lab to upgrade the 12th’s drones to give them the cutting edge against the orcs.
We are raising funds for 2-3 ZGRAYA systems that converts standard FPVs into REB‑resistant drones, TRIPPLIING hit‑rates by keeping control and video stable under Russian jamming.
The goal is around $8,000 USD as we have $680 USD remaining from the previous TT’s for a starter. Let’s give it our best shot, and keep this target in our sights. It’s a long shot, but I know we can hit our target!

Absolute masterpiece from the Ukrainian SBU.
russians in occupied Crimea bought fake fuel QR codes.
The money ended up funding Ukraine's 110th Mechanized Brigade.
Poetic justice.
Horrific aftermath of Russia's ballistic missile attack on Kyiv.
The city suffered extensive damage across multiple districts.
One person killed, seven more injured.
Residential buildings, an office building, vehicles, a dormitory, warehouses, a supermarket, and the entrance to a metro station were damaged.
Every year on this day, Poland and Ukraine honor the memory of people – civilians – who were killed in Volyn during the Second World War. Today, representatives of the Ukrainian state took part in joint prayer services alongside representatives of the Polish state – both here in Ukraine and in Poland.
Ukraine is doing its part to fairly establish the facts about those who were killed in those years. Search operations are underway at the sites of former villages and burial locations. Ukraine is committed to accelerating this process. In just two days, exhumation work will begin in the villages of Ostrivky and Volya Ostrovetska.
What we need is the full truth and a Christian commemoration of the victims. But we must also remember that today, in our own time, Ukraine and Poland face one common threat, which is a deadly threat to our independence, to both our states, to every city and every village. That threat is Russia. As we speak about the past, we must not cast doubt on the future of our nations – the future of Ukraine, of Poland, and the future of all of Europe.
