Ukraine found the crater of a second North Korean KN-23 ballistic missile used by Russia on July 30. The first hit a home in Radushne, killing six people, including three children, while five minors remain missing. The second exploded in a field 3.5 km away. No targets were within 5 km. #Ukraine

💔 “Who did I lose? Everyone.” Radushne is mourning today after a Russian strike killed an entire family

The man in the video is Daniil Voronov, who is currently defending Ukraine on the front line. He learned from a local chat that his parents, brothers, sisters and young son, who was also inside the house during the missile strike, had been killed.

Local residents are bringing flowers and soft toys to the ruins.

“It feels like this is all a dream,” Daniil says.

So far, the deaths of the parents and three children have been confirmed. Human remains were found under the rubble, and forensic tests are needed to establish their identities.

The USA is an unreliable ally and Trump is Putin's puppet.

[Gabrielius Landsbergis🇱🇹 @GLandsbergis]

Not even Article 4, for a cruise missile landing on NATO territory?
Such a non-reaction would have been unimaginable before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. There would have been strong measures immediately taken.
But, over time, outrages have been normalised and even rationalised to the point where they are no longer considered outrageous.
So I have to ask — what other aggressions would also be greeted with a shrug? Destroying critical infrastructure? Killing people? How many?
The promise to defend every inch has now been broken, so how many more inches are we going to let go?

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

As I’ve been warning for years, including pronouncing NATO dead last year, a treaty is a piece of paper and is only as strong as the leaders responsible for upholding it. Putin knows this, and Ukraine learned it the hard way once already, in Budapest 1994.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

KASPAROV: I would probably bet that in 10 years, hopefully sooner, Russia will not exist in its current borders.

People ask me, "Do you want Russia to collapse?" It's not what I want or not. It's going to happen.

Collapse of Russian empire will move us to the next stage of the fight for freedom against tyranny.

Because behind Russia you have China, which is growing and will be greatest beneficiary of collapse of Russian Empire.

But this is not for us to remedy today. Because history clock is about to stop for Russian empire. Question is, how can we manage it?

Russia is like a zombie empire. And all attempts to preserve this zombie will lead to more damage and lives lost on our side, on European side, on free world side.

But these attempts will also eventually benefit opposite side, world of tyranny, because it will prevent us from turning whatever is left of Russia into part of coalition that will fight for freedom.

No one can ever believe anything Trump pledges, says or puts in writing. With Trump, a deal is never a deal and nobody can count on the US for anything while he’s president. His word is garbage, agreements mean nothing, and he lies about everything.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @CrimeanVoyager]

Absolute hell.

This is what one of Kyiv's residential apartment buildings looks like after a russian missile strike.

People may still be trapped beneath the rubble. There are likely to be dead and injured.

russia is a terrorist state.

Ukraine's Phoenix Unmanned Systems Regiment said it detected a Russian fuel tanker disguised as a cargo truck deep behind Russian lines. The unit struck it with a Bulava drone, igniting the fuel load and blowing away the camouflage. #Ukraine

☁️ At five in the morning, a Russian woman climbed onto a rooftop to film the sky over Volgograd

“The situation is terrifying,” she says, praying that everyone is still alive.

It is not only a Wildberries warehouse that is burning in the city, but also an oil refinery.

What’s wrong? Weren’t you the ones who wanted to “do it again”? Now you finally have Stalingrad all over again!

[Andrii Sybiha 🇺🇦 @andrii_sybiha]

We have detected an intensive Russian propaganda campaign across Europe using pictures from Ceuta to sow destabilization.

There have been more than 1,500 publications on outlets identified by analysts as a pro-Russian network, led by Pravda and RT. Pravda Spanish has posted almost 300 of them. Every language edition of RT has pushed more than 25 news items on the issue.

For years, Moscow has used migration and other sensitive topics to stoke fear and destabilize European countries.

This is not about the situation itself, but about the way Russia tries to exploit any topic that can benefit its agenda. The only way to protect the public from this interference is to cut it off.

All Russian propaganda resources should be completely banned in every European country that takes its national security seriously.

[💙💛 Regina Laska @Sunnymica]

Interessant, was der ukrainische Außenministers Andrij Sybiha hier beschreibt: Russische Propagandanetzwerke hätten innerhalb kürzester Zeit mehr als 1.500 Beiträge über Ceuta verbreitet, um die Bilder europaweit maximal auszuschlachten.

Das ist ein bemerkenswert, denn Sybiha behauptet nicht etwa, Russland habe die Ereignisse in Ceuta verursacht. Er beschreibt vielmehr genau den Mechanismus hybrider Einflussnahme, um den es mir heute ging:

Krisen müssen nicht selbst geschaffen werden. Es genügt, vorhandene Krisen propagandistisch zu verstärken und gesellschaftliche Konflikte weiter anzuheizen, um sie für die eigenen Zwecke zu nutzen.

President Zelensky said Ukraine struck three logistics hubs in Russia today, targeting facilities in Sarapul, Kazan and Volgograd, located roughly 500 to nearly 1,300 kilometers from Ukraine. He also confirmed a strike on a maritime terminal in Krasnodar region, about 270 kilometers from the front, and an oil refinery in Volgograd region, about 480 kilometers away. Impacts were also reported in the Sea of Azov. #Ukraine

🇷🇺This is Tyumen, one of Russia’s wealthiest cities

People carrying empty buckets are rushing towards a water tanker.

The city has been without safe running water for more than two weeks.

The tap water smells so strongly of faeces and rotten fish that residents cannot even wash with it.

He doesn't care anymore. It's just non-stop, in-your-face corruption.

The latest? If you pay Trump $100,000 a month, he will give you advance White House announcements on economic and trade policy.

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

The Trump Administration has some serious explaining to do because there’s a ton of money missing and ZERO explanation for where it went.   

It has collected an estimated $13 billion from Venezuelan oil sales.  

Take a wild guess on how much of that is currently accounted for.   

The answer is $300 million. That’s roughly 2.3 PERCENT.  

And even that information came from the Venezuelan government, not the Trump Administration.  

So where is the rest of the money?
