Last week, Russia tried to destroy the Kyiv Lavra.
Today, beneath the same golden domes, I received Ukraine’s Order of Merit from President Zelenskyy.
They try to burn history. Ukraine honours truth.
I will never stop reporting it. 🙏🇺🇦🔥
Karol Nawrocki to nowy bohater dla Rosjan!
Na rosyjskim kanale państwowym poświęcono mu całe 4 minuty podczas prime time’u, gdzie chwalono decyzję Nawrockiego i opowiadano zmyślone historie o nazistach w Ukrainie.
I thank all friends of Ukraine and everyone who helps us obtain important information and supports Ukrainian intelligence operations. Our intelligence agencies reported on the results of their work to assess the internal situation in Russia and obtain documents that end up on the Russian leader’s desk. We understand that Putin rarely receives information that is entirely truthful and unvarnished. But even what he sees in the documents that reach him still allows conclusions to be drawn.
In particular, the so-called “projected indicators” of Russians’ dissatisfaction with Putin will continue to rise steadily, and he is already being conditioned to accept the idea that this growing dissatisfaction cannot be stopped and that this indicator “will not plateau” by September, when parliamentary elections are scheduled in Russia.
As for the level of support for Russia’s ruling party, a steady downward trend is being recorded, which means significantly greater electoral fraud will be needed. They are also reporting a substantial rise in protest sentiment in Russian regions. We believe these reports also do not yet take into account the potential events of June, July, and August, which are bound to further affect the situation in Russia.
The entirely justified pressure on Russia over this war will continue and intensify – and it won’t be just our pressure. So by September, Putin will be facing significantly worse indicators. Unfortunately, to all the public and non-public peace proposals we have made, the only response has been words about continuing his war.
The internal situation in Russia should convince him of the opposite: that peace is needed. Ukraine is proposing to negotiate a dignified peace. Obviously, the trends will not change, and over time this may mean that an agreement will have to be reached with someone else from Russia – someone who will not shut themselves off from reality. Glory to Ukraine!
Andreeva was allowed to compete, received her title and $3 million prize, but couldn't wave the Russian flag.
German fascists invite us to sympathize with her terrible situation. Meanwhile, this is what Ukrainian athletes have to deal with every day.
No, you’re not sending “more money to Ukraine,” and you never have.
You used to send American money to American arms manufacturers so that American workers and engineers could have more contracts, jobs, salaries, and tax revenue while producing American weapons in America for Ukraine or replacing old equipment from U.S. stockpiles.
That allowed the Ukrainian military to keep saving their country, while your top-tier geopolitical enemy, a KGB dictatorship obsessed with hatred toward you, could be defeated in its war of aggression in Europe and critically weakened for decades to come -- without a single American soldier firing a single shot.
But then you decided to start pretending that night is day.

Oleksandra Oliynykova gave an emotional speech before her press conference after her loss to Shnaider, ‘When children are dying, when violence is justified or celebrated, we cannot look away… We cannot protect those who support such actions… Being a role model isn’t about the size of your bank account. A real role model has the courage to stand against evil’
“I know that some people disagree with my actions. I know that some people would prefer that I stay silent. What I do is not about politics. It’s about humanity. When people are being killed, when children are dying, when violence is justified or celebrated, we cannot pretend nothing is happening. We cannot look away. We cannot protect those who support or excuse such actions. Our organization was not built by pioneers like Billie Jean King so that money and luxury could become the only values in women’s tennis. They wanted something bigger than that. They wanted us to have a voice. To inspire others. To make the world better. To be role models for young athletes. And being a role model is not about the size of your bank account. It’s not about expensive watches, private jets, or luxury brands. A real role model has the courage to stand against evil. A real role model speaks when it’s easier to stay silent. A real role model has the determination to act when action is needed. We as players have responsibility that goes beyond tennis. Because sports should always stand with humanity, and humanity should never be optional. Thank you.”
