Russian soldiers have filmed themselves raping a toddler and cutting the genitals off soldiers. Filmed themselves stabbing a man in the eye with a knife and lifting him off the ground while he cried. Committed massacres of entire towns, leaving the streets full of dead. Recorded themselves hunting down and murdering civilians. Filmed themselves torturing elderly men. Hung civilians from trees, lit civilians on fire and recorded them burning to death. They have mass executed POW, raped POW, tortured POW. Staged murders of POW. They've forced civilians to join their army to fight against their own country. They have dropped bombs on children. They have fired missiles into children's hospitals.

The Russians have gone into NATO countries to destroy NATO military assets, destroyed ammo caches in NATO countries.

They've fired missiles into NATO countries, fired Shaheds into NATO countries.

And, after all of that, you have people telling Ukraine to negotiate.

The only negotiation should be whether we allow Russia to exist after this war.

A series of video recordings from cameras inside the Ukrainian home improving store, at the moment of russia’s strike.

Lots of civilian people walking around the store on the weekday.

Russia’s terrorism cannot be happening for a third year in a row, Ukraine critically needs the right and permission to hit military targets on Russia’s territory using ally-supplied weaponry to prevent even more casualties amongst innocent civilians.

We live in a time increasingly resembling the second half of the 1930s. I couldn't live with myself with the knowledge I didn't do more to stop another Hitler. In light of the Republican wavering and in memory of Navalny I will give $100 towards FPV drones for Ukr for every RT.

The previous message I shared seems to have sparked a debate, prompting me to address it more comprehensively. Ukraine and its people deeply appreciate the support offered by the West, as it fosters a sense of unity similar to a family bond and helps us to stop russians. Nevertheless, there are individuals expressing concerns that Ukraine's requests may appear excessive, potentially giving rise to perceptions of ingratitude. I wish to clarify my position in order to provide a better understanding of my argument.

In 1920, after gaining control over numerous states and territories, the Bolsheviks were finally halted by the combined forces of the Polish army supported by Ukrainians, halting their aspirations of further Western conquest. In 2022, Ukraine finds itself fulfilling a similar role. However, one might question if this is merely a quarrel between two countries, with no relevance to Europe.

Merely a year after the formation of the Russian Federation, this "new and democratic" nation invaded the newly established Moldovan Republic in 1992. The outcome of this aggression led to the creation of the so-called "Transnistria" - another "separatist" territory under the influence of Russian intelligence and Gazprom-affiliated entities. This unfortunate turn of events shattered the Moldovan people's hopes for a pro-European trajectory for many years to come.

During 1992-1993, Russia ignited a similar conflict in Georgia by supporting local separatists, resulting in the emergence of another unrecognized separatist republic. This act served to assert Russia's dominance over Georgia. Fast-forwarding to 2008, Russia invaded Georgia again, establishing additional "republics" on Georgian territory and further obstructing any potential pro-Western path for the nation.

Moving ahead to 2014, Russia's invasion of Crimea with minimal repercussions made them to believe that they could replicate this approach in the rest of Ukraine. Within a few months, fierce battles erupted when Russian units unexpectedly entered Ukraine and attacked our unsuspecting forces. European leaders compelled us to engage in negotiations and sign an agreement with Moscow, effectively relinquishing de facto control over the occupied territories. This only served to bolster Russia's confidence in Western weakness and their ability to project power.

Russia openly engaged in the Syrian war, showcasing its ability to strike distant targets with a show of force. Employing groups like Wagner, Russia continued to expand its influence and currently maintains a presence in countries such as Libya, Mali, the Central African Republic, Sudan, Venezuela, and several others.

The situation deteriorated further when Russia essentially transformed Belarus into its vassal state after significant antigovernmental protests unfolded there in 2020-2021. The weakening role of NATO, combined with Russia-backed politicians rising to prominence in Europe and the manipulation of gas prices, led Putin to perceive Ukraine as weak and West as spineless.

When Putin initiated the invasion of Ukraine, he was thoroughly convinced that he could replicate the scenarios seen in Crimea and Donbass, effectively establishing another vassal state for his empire. However, he miscalculated the Ukrainian people's determination to defend their land, beliefs, and future. The well-known expression "I need ammunition, not a ride" signaled to the West that we would serve as a shield against russian aggression, uniting everyone in providing the significant assistance we had previously requested.

Had Ukraine not stood up against the monstrous Russian army, we would have inevitably become another constituent part of the russian neo-empire.

If Ukraine had not resisted the Russian invasion, it would have only been a matter of time before the Baltic states faced a similar fate. While some argue that such an outcome is implausible, citing the existence of Article 5, similar arguments were made when discussing the possibility of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. If Russia had succeeded in Ukraine, their perception of a weak and disorganized West would have been reinforced, instilling doubts about the willingness of Western nations to confront the prospect of a nuclear war over relatively small countries. Regrettably, I have already encountered this argument from certain individuals.

Challenges to the global security fabric require decisive action to prevent larger conflicts. Despite initial denials, we eventually received tanks, IFVs, artillery, ammo, rockets, air-defense, and HIMARS, which were crucial for saving lives. Putin cannot be deterred by compromise but by superior military force. Treating him as a rational actor ignores his propagandist illusions. Only by deploying superior military might we can end the war and prevent its spread to Europe further. This war is not just ours, hence, let us work together to swiftly bring it to an an end by providing the support our Ministry of Defense urgently needs.

One year later, Kyiv stands. Ukraine stands. Democracy stands. America — and the world — stands with Ukraine.

Рік потому Київ стоїть. Україна стоїть. Демократія стоїть. Америка – і світ – стоїть з Україною.

Let me make this very clear. Ukraine is not winning this war because of foreign aid. They are winning because they are a (mostly) unified people with a (mostly) national identity and a (mostly) desire to live a free and peaceful life. They would have won regardless.

Six months after Russia launched its full-scale invasion, Ukraine is still a free, independent country. A country that is suffering – but still standing strong.

Without additional weaponry, this war will become an endless bloodbath, spreading misery, suffering, and destruction. Mariupol, Bucha, Kramatorsk – the list will be continued. Nobody will stop Russia except Ukraine with Heavy Weapons. #ArmUkraineNow
