87-year-old Olexandra Kysla survived Hitler’s war but not Putin’s.
She worked, raised a family, grew old, and remained close to her son.
Today, Olexandra, now in a wheel chair, and her son Oleh, 51, who stayed by her side, were killed in Nikopol by a Russian FPV drone strike.

Very emotional moment from the interview with Zelenskyy. You should watch this.

JOURNALIST: Do you miss being an actor?

ZELENSKYY:?I miss being a good father.

JOURNALIST: When your children were little, what did you tell them the most? What was the thing that you told them the most when they were small?

ZELENSKYY: I love you.

JOURNALIST: And what do you tell them now that they're older?

ZELENSKYY: Oh, I miss you.

JOURNALIST: When was the last time you cried?

ZELENSKYY: I will try to do it after our interview. No, I mean this, between us. I'm a normal man and then there are a lot of different moments, between us, almost each day, a lot of losses on the battlefield and civilians, and there are absolutely crazy attacks on our people.

And I'm just, it's… I mean, It's very difficult really, when I give orders (medals). I said about it. It's always difficult for me when I give orders (medals) to the mothers and fathers, who lost their children. In such moments, really, I often cry.

JOURNALIST: Are you a hero?

ZELENSKYY: No.

JOURNALIST: So who is your hero?

ZELENSKYY:?My hero? My children, my army, our army, and Ukrainian people. So I'm a part… I'm also a Ukrainian, so I'm a part of our nation. But now our nation, I think, that our nation is absolutely heroic.

Josh Hokit just called Michelle Obama “a man” on the mic after winning at UFC Freedom 250.

HOKIT: “Hey, shout out to Trump for having the balls to put some sh*t like this on!”

“And if I’m going to say anything, there’s only person more incredible than the Incredible Hulk and that’s my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ...”

“And lastly, Michelle Obama is a MAN!!”

“Am I right America?!”

The overly sensitive Russian dictator continues to murder his critics globally.

Russian artist Semyon Skrepetsky, known for his sharp criticism of the Kremlin was reportedly shot dead in the Polish city of Biała Podlaska.

According to Polish media reports, the attacker approached Skrepetsky in the parking area of a residential building and opened fire at close range. A suspect has reportedly been detained near the Belarusian Embassy, while investigators are also examining the possible involvement of a taxi driver who allegedly transported the attackers.

Authorities have increased security around schools and kindergartens attended by his children. Reports also indicate that Skrepetsky's Telegram channel has disappeared.

Born in Russia's Altai region as Robert Kuzovkov, Skrepetsky became widely known for political cartoons depicting Putin, Kadyrov, Lukashenko and Navalny. After relocating to Poland in 2021, he remained active in anti-Kremlin demonstrations across Europe.

France's Foreign Minister put it well:

A strike on the Lavra is the equivalent of bombing Notre-Dame.

This is what russia calls defending Christianity.

🇩🇪 How an AfD Politician Uncovered the Kremlin's Lies and Flipped for Ukraine

A former member of Germany's pro-Russian AfD party shares just how powerful Russian propaganda is within their ranks, admitting that he himself used to be deeply pro-Russian because he blindly believed Russia's lies.

However, when he traveled to Ukraine for the very first time, he saw with his own eyes that everything Russia says is a complete lie, and that Ukrainians are entirely different from Russians. Following this revelation, he became staunchly pro-Ukrainian right inside his pro-Russian party and began openly calling out Russia's falsehoods.

While Andrew Tate & Candice Owen’s visit Moscow and lie about how it’s the bastion of peace, missiles are raining down on civilian homes here in Kyiv. Russia is a terrorist state and it should never be normalised.

Listen to this absolutely haunting sound.

Putin’s attack on the Lavra must be condemned by leaders around the world. It’s also a wake-up call, Ukraine *is* the Lavra, it’s survived but only by facing off the utter barbarity of Putin’s regime

Russians have struck the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra and are burning down one of Ukraine's oldest Orthodox churches‼️

The roof of the Dormition Cathedral is ablaze. The cathedral itself is a significant part of our history, it is older than Moscow. It was already there when russian neanderthals were building shacks made of sticks and shit.

Fucking barbarians!
