This is Kherson. A Russian drone operator hunts down a civilian fruit vendor and attacks him.

The Russian with the controller knows and sees what he is doing. A vile sadist, a subhuman, deliberately steers the drone at the poor man.

Reportedly, he survived.

As of now, 44 people have been reported injured in the massive Russian strike on Kyiv and the Kyiv region. Another 17 people, tragically, were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. It was a heavy strike – 24 ballistic missiles, 4 Zircon/Oniks missiles, and another 115 drones, a significant number of them jet-powered. The main targets of the attack were warehouse facilities belonging to civilian businesses. There were also strikes on infrastructure and a railway station. These facilities had nothing to do with the war – a brewing company, construction materials warehouses, and civilian logistics facilities.

Ballistic missile interceptors could have saved the lives of those killed today. It is very important that our partners understand that delays in supplying them, or an unwillingness to provide anti-ballistic systems, lead directly to such horrific casualties and destruction. Partners who are not yet ready to play a more active role in supplying interceptors can help by implementing new sanctions. A significant share of Russia’s ballistic missile production is still not under sanctions. Even now. New steps are needed – from the G7, the European Union, and everyone who supports the protection of life. Thank you to those who are willing to help in this way.

It has been a great honor to serve the Ukrainian people as the Minister of Defense.

Here is what our team managed to achieve:

1. Disabled Starlink access for Russian forces.

2. Took over a Ministry of Defense with zero budget, took a risk, reallocated funds from payroll from the end of the year, and effectively invested them in mid-strike capabilities, fiber-optic FPVs, low-cost reconnaissance, ground robotic platforms, interceptor drones, and deep-strike drones.

3. Launched "Logistical Lockdown", this cut off enemy logistics and initiated the isolation of Crimea.

4. Continued the funding program for the Drone Line.

5. Launched a support program for modern drone-assault units that rely primarily on advanced technologies in combat.

6. Introduced a 70% advance payment policy for procurements made via e-Points on the Brave1 Market portal.

7. Fundamentally overhauled the procurement system.

8. Procured thousands of pickup trucks, buggies, and ATVs for the military for the first time—and did so through open tenders.

9. The drone interception rate rose from 83% to 91%, and the cruise missile interception rate soared from 47% to 87%.

10. Contracted Patriot PAC-2 GEM-T missiles for the first time, and submitted an application through an EU loan to purchase PAC-3 missiles.

11. Launched a baseline drone supply system for brigades and corps.

12. Launched a massive grant program for manufacturers of explosives and missiles.

13. Initiated an unpopular but vital transformation of the military.

14. Conducted three UDCG meetings, where we successfully broke through the Russian information trap claiming our defeat, restoring partners' faith in Ukraine. This secured $40 billion in support announced for this year (excluding the EU loan).

15. Launched the mechanism to utilize the EU loan for our military priorities.

16. Found a way to scale cheap missiles against jet-powered Shaheds and signed a record-breaking contract.

17. Our domestic ballistics. We radically revised the technical specifications, maximized accuracy, and reduced the cost by 30%.

18. Signed a contract to procure Gripen fighter jets.

19. Collaborated with the military to plan and execute Operation Auchan, which halted the enemy's mechanized offensive for six months.

20. Opened up exports under the Drone Deal program to attract investment and scale up domestic defense-industrial complex (OPK) production.

21. Launched the Trophy Lab, providing partners with the opportunity to study captured Russian military technologies.

22. Launched the Defense AI Center A1 to accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence on the battlefield.

Thank you to my entire team for their relentless 24/7 service. A special thank you to my family for their patience.

Thank you all for your support!

I will continue to work toward the mission I originally brought to the Ministry of Defense: defeating the enemy through asymmetry, the speed of innovation, and the power of organization.

To be continued.

The IOC’s decision is disgraceful, but let’s not pretend this happened in a vacuum. For years, countless so-called “neutral” Russian athletes have continued living in Russia, paying taxes there, representing Russian institutions, and helping sustain the very state waging a genocidal war against Ukraine.

Saying “I don’t support the war” is not some extraordinary moral achievement. That’s the bare minimum for any decent human being. It’s like saying, “I don’t support murdering civilians.” That shouldn’t earn praise, it should be the default.

When someone claims to oppose the war while continuing to live under the regime, pay into its budget, compete for its prestige, and avoid taking any meaningful personal risk, it’s fair to question how much that opposition actually costs them.

And after everything Russia has done to Ukraine, the IOC rewarding Russia’s return to international sport sends a devastating message.

[The Swedish Rumble 🔰 @SwedishRumble]

Just to sort things out, if United got a 120-130m budget for this summer — that is an Ineos/Glazer issue.

If Berrada and Wilcox spends 250-300m on crap players — that is an Berrada/Wilcox issue.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Last night, Kyiv came under a massive Russian attack. Russia launched 68 missiles and 351 attack drones. Response efforts are still underway. Damage has been recorded at more than 10 locations across the city, including residential buildings. All necessary services are on the ground, doing everything possible to rescue people and provide assistance to everyone who needs it. So far, 64 people have been rescued, including two children. As of now, it has been confirmed that, tragically, eleven people were killed in this attack. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Around 60 more people were injured.

In the Kyiv region, sixteen people were injured and three people were killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. A fire is still burning at the site of the missile strike in Vyshneve. People are being evacuated from a residential area. More than 400 first responders and police officers have been deployed to deal with the aftermath of the attack.

Our warriors performed well today in intercepting drones and cruise missiles, but unfortunately not Russian ballistic missiles. And the reason lies in the insufficient supply of interceptor missiles. It is critically important that the world – first and foremost the United States and our European partners – come out of the NATO Summit in Ankara with strong decisions in support of our air defense, and thus the protection of ordinary people’s lives. As long as Patriot missiles remain in our allies' stockpiles, Russia is only encouraged to keep “vanquishing” residential buildings. The United States and Europe have enough strength to stop this terror.

Manchester United fans are demanding more from INEOS, and they have every right to.

So far, we’ve missed out on our two primary midfield targets and have signed just one player heading into pre-season. As a fan, I find that extremely underwhelming. I understand the financial complexities surrounding both deals, but there is a massive inflation on every player across the market as a whole, and we need to realise that if we truly want the “best in class,” it isn’t going to happen by shopping only cheap. (FYI, United obviously know this but this is just my opinion).

Following a promising end to the season, with Michael Carrick securing #MUFC Champions League football, there was finally some light at the end of a tunnel which has been filled with constant pain and suffering over the past decade. Fans want their club back at the top, where we belong, and this summer is viewed as the perfect opportunity to make that happen. Obviously with the movement so far, it's no surprise why fans are furious.

I won't sit here and tell you to 'stay calm' as people clearly don't want to hear that. I also won't say this window is over and we are finished because that's illogical. I'll always be straight up with you because I don't gain anything from lying. United held several internal meetings following the Fernandes deal and the belief in the club is that they remain relaxed and were prepared for this potential situation by doing their due diligence on multiple players prior to the window happening. This isn't to give you hope and you don't have to believe it, but that's genuienly the club's stance.

It's time now for INEOS to act upon their promises, if we really want to be competing with the top teams next season.

I'll also quickly address the elephant in the room.

I don’t owe anyone an apology. You can throw whatever abuse you want at me if it helps ease your frustration that we didn’t sign Fernandes, but I don't negotiate the transfers. Not once did I say the deal was done, my info was that United remained confident (which was true) and I said he personally wanted us - this is true no matter what the reports say, it may come out one day, but Mendes has played a blinder this whole saga.

I don’t claim to be the best United source out there nor do I say that you should believe my word for gospel. Some people simply don't like the fact that a faceless ITK has proven to be reliable, so they’ve been waiting for any opportunity to come after me. In just a year, I’ve built a reputation and established a name for myself whilst having the privilege to speak the best journalists, so it doesn't bother me if some people are chatting shit on me.

I will continue reporting the truth from what I know as I want my club back where we belong, and fans deserve the truth in a media full of lies - this has always been my sole intention since I started posting. The same people who have been chatting shit on my name for clicks were the same people who would be in my replies and dms asking for info, only a few weeks back. It showed me how there's so many two faced bitches on here.

This isn't about me though. It's about the club we love and support. These next few weeks and months of this summer window will decide how next season fares. We need to get a move on and we can't risk letting our rivals go ahead of us. We have a good squad foundation with a coach who YOU (INEOS) chose to back. Now it's up to you to back him. Don't let these fans down like the old regime did.

@FrankEra_ Man Utd are screwed.

[v.ahapov @AhapovV]

@ammandev Which club is out there that doesn’t know that we need 2 more midfielders and not going to use that to overcharge? We literally cannot start the season as is.

[v.ahapov @AhapovV]

@bethTmufc 100% hard to believe Spurs are getting Tonali and Fernandes while we continue to go down the pecking order.

russians killed 11 people, including three children, just in this house in Dnipro today.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

More than 500 personnel of the State Emergency Service have been involved in dealing with the aftermath of Russia’s overnight attack on our cities and communities. The main strike was on Kyiv, where dozens of residential buildings and other purely civilian infrastructure were damaged again. Tragically, four people have been reported killed. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. At this moment, 38 people are in hospitals in the capital, and all of them are receiving the necessary care.

In Dnipro, a search and rescue operation is ongoing at the site of a four-story apartment building. Part of the building was essentially demolished. Nine people were killed in this attack, including a child. Thirty-five people were injured in the city. The fate of six more people remains unknown. The search for them will continue for as long as necessary.

The Russians also struck energy facilities in the Kharkiv region and critical infrastructure in Kharkiv. Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Sumy, Chernihiv, and Khmelnytskyi regions also came under attack.

In total, overnight Russia launched 656 attack drones and 73 missiles of various types at our people – ballistic, cruise, and anti-ship missiles. A large-scale attack and an absolutely clear statement from Russia: if Ukraine is not protected from ballistic and other missile strikes, these attacks will continue. Europe needs its own anti-ballistic defense so that this war can finally be brought to an end. And assistance from the United States in supplying missiles for Patriot systems is absolutely necessary. We are counting on the support of our partners and on effective responses to today’s attack.

And I thank all Ukrainian men and women for not ignoring air raid alerts.

Glory to Ukraine!
