"My only ‘crime’ was that I am Crimean Tatar. I am Ukrainian, born in Crimea. And I refuse to take a Russian passport."
Leniie Umerova spent nearly two years in a Russian prison before turning 26.
16-year-old Vadym from the Kyiv region was still in high school when he built PhAInix, a device that protects Ukrainian drones from russian electronic warfare.
The war brought Vadym to this invention. His father serves as a drone operator with the 79th Air Assault Brigade.
A meat advertisement in Estonia sparked controversy after Russian speakers felt offended and discriminated against
Estonian meat company Rannarootsi caused a stir on social media with an ad for its new grilling product.
The poster shows two men with Ukrainian flags on their sleeves grilling meat by the sea, while the smoky background resembles the aftermath of attacks on Russian oil refineries.
The slogan reads: “The right grill turns bitter onions into sweet ones.”
But not everyone appreciated the creativity. Some users accused the company of inciting ethnic hatred.
The reason is that the word “sibul” (“onion”) is also used in Estonia as a derogatory nickname for Russian-speaking residents.
However, most Estonians viewed the advertisement as political humor and supported the approach.
One commenter wrote that they would now buy the company’s products specifically because of this campaign.
This russian woman says waking up to this was "a nightmare" and that she's still shaking.
No. This isn't a nightmare.
The nightmare is what russia has been doing for years—destroying entire cities and killing tens of thousands of Ukrainians.
These are just the consequences.
Anyone who has accused me of making Ireland look bad for the refinery scandal should read this. This is a sitting minister yawning at questions about russian links. It’s Irish politicians who are destroying the reputation of Ireland, not me 🤷
Kherson. Here, simply walking down the street can get you killed by russian terrorists.
💔 She was just an innocent civilian.
We don’t hate russia enough.
🇷🇺 "Officially Broke Today." Russians Break Down After Strike on Wildberries Warehouse
"I'm going home now, I'll pay my taxes with the last money I have left — and that's it. I honestly don't see any way out of this situation," says a now-unemployed businesswoman through tears.
Today, she lost her entire inventory in the fire.
When Russian forces bombed Kyiv's Okhmatdyt children's hospital, there were no tears. The tears came only now — when the bills are due and the money is gone. Maybe now, at least, something will finally get through to them.
Another ship just left Ireland to russia filled with raw materials and the Irish prime minister @MichealMartinTD just arrived in Kyiv. If you’re a journalist here doing an interview with him then ask him about this. His team are too afraid to speak to me.
Why even meet with Lavrov? What does the US get out of it?
Such a useless meeting only serves Russia. It legitimizes Putin’s regime and its insane demands
putin claimed the federal budget is doing well, pointing to a 196 billion ruble surplus in June.
What he didn't mention is that the budget deficit has already reached 5.7 trillion rubles this year and is expected to exceed 6 trillion by the end of July.
Reported on Telegram Lavrov and Rubio will hold a meeting tomorrow morning and discuss what Russia can do to help Trump stay in power.
Two sycophants in a room.
This is America n 2026.
🇺🇦🥰💪Magyar stated on his page that approximately 15,000–20,000 Russian occupying troops are now under Ukrainian fire control in southern Ukraine. He also claimed that some Russian units are already seeking negotiations to surrender.
According to the statement, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to intensify pressure in the south while systematically disrupting Russian logistics. As a result, a large grouping of Russian forces is reportedly under constant pressure.
The troops are said to be experiencing serious shortages of food, ammunition, and fuel due to disrupted supply lines.
At the same time, logistics routes behind Russian positions are reportedly continuing to collapse and are being brought under Ukrainian fire control.
Magyar said this has left a significant number of Russian troops with severely degraded combat capability and little remaining motivation. He claimed that 15,000–20,000 Russian soldiers could potentially surrender, even to a third party.
These remarks were made by the Commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces. He added that the situation remains dynamic and continues to evolve.
Believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Ukraine will prevail!
Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Russia exports nothing but oil, terrorism, and lies.
Soon, no more oil—thanks to Ukrainian drones.
Then the Russians will realize that their "empire" is nothing but a stinking cesspool that the world laughs at.
Russians get extremely invested in international law after their warehouses selling dual-use goods for the military gets bombed, after bombing children's hospitals, residential buildings, dams and killing thousands of children.
Get fucked.
The Irish Prime Minister @MichealMartinTD is here in Kyiv and this morning a Senior Irish politician tweeted “YAWN” about the refinery that’s sending war materiel to russia. If you’re a journalist here in Kyiv interviewing the PM then ask him about this.
