Ukraine shot down Russian Kalibr cruise missiles. Then took them apart — board by board, component by component.
What Ukraine's Ministry of Defence @DefenceU found inside should be uncomfortable reading for Western regulators and sanctions enforcement agencies.
More than 80–90% of the guidance system electronics: foreign-made. Every part marked. Every manufacturer identified. 🧵👇
Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today.
And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life.
I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!
Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine
When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.
The entire direction of the post-Cold War world is being decided in Ukraine. Either the free world shows it can defend itself from hostile dictatorships, allowing democracy and rights to flourish, or a descent into corruption, might makes right, and volatile spheres of power.
This is not a movie about meteor showers before the apocalypse; this is Russia bombing Kyiv last night. A city with several million people in it - children, the elderly, and normal families just like yours.
This is remarkable: @Alexbrowder_ has just been added to Russia’s sanctions list for his work exposing Russian sanctions evasion through their own cryptocurrency. In case anyone doesn’t know Alexander is in high school.
When this war is over, and Ukraine is victorious and whole again, and every innocent victim, every fallen defender, every destroyed city and town is documented, let no one say they did not know. These Russian crimes against humanity are happening in full view in real time.
Today, I witnessed firsthand the consequences of yesterday’s Russian attack on Kyiv.
Russia is deliberately trying to break people through fear, darkness, and constant nighttime attacks. But every such strike reveals the true nature of Putin’s regime — a regime that recognizes neither human life, nor international law, nor borders.
And the Lukashenka regime bears its share of responsibility for this because it allowed Belarusian territory to be used for aggression, for launching missiles, and for deploying Russian weapons.
But I want Ukrainians to know: Belarusians stand with you. We support Ukraine not because it is ‘politically correct’, but because we feel this pain as our own.
We see your courage after every attack. That is true strength. And I am convinced: no missile can break a nation fighting for its freedom and dignity.
Russia threatened to do this if Ukraine attacked the May 9 parade on the Red Square. After Trump’s intervention on Putin’s behalf, Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire so Russia could hold the parade. Two weeks later, Putin unleashed the ballistic missile barrage on central Kyiv anyway.
May 2026 has been a month of endless humiliations for Putin. This is what the Kremlin does to try to cover up for it: engage in terrorism. A🧵about Putin's nightmare month.
Rubio says that US-led peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine "were not fruitful." Not fruitful?
Let’s look at the facts: your negotiators visited Russia seven times, and Ukraine zero times. You demanded concessions from Ukraine before negotiations even began, and throughout the entire process.
You pressured Ukraine by cutting off weapons support entirely, constantly badmouthing us, and showing up at our doorstep waving Russian "peace plan" you demanded we sign immediately.
And now, after Ukraine stands more firmly on its feet without your support, you realize you can't pressure us anymore. So your excuse is that you are tired and leaving?
How about, for once, you actually support the victim, which is Ukraine instead of terrorist Russian regime? Send your team to Kyiv, support our fight, and apply real pressure on aggressor.
Sanction Russia and seize their shadow fleet instead of handing out sanction waivers. Do that, and maybe negotiations will magically become "fruitful."
This is both funny and horrifying. Xi spoke openly of the US being in decline, right to Trump’s face. But Trump did not understand it and spent his time praising Xi who had just demeaned US power. Now Trump is contorting himself to cover his ignorance.
Vladimir Kara-Murza, vice president of the Free Russia Foundation, said as long as Russia remains a dictatorship under Vladimir Putin it will be a threat to Europe and the rest of the world https://t.co/RwdvmzfjW9
His citing of Putin for approval never ends. Putin is a mass-murdering dictator and an enemy of the United States (as well as humanity at large). Americans are disgraced. I feel we have undergone a kind of disfigurement.
Please consider this: a nation at war, attacked by a criminal nuclear power, not only holds its ground but becomes an indispensable provider of security in Europe (foolish are those who block its accession to @NATO), but also elsewhere!
An exceptional nation as I often stated.
Ukraine Is Quietly Building the Most Important System of This War. It Has Nothing to Do With Weapons.
Ukraine just brought 175 soldiers home from Russian captivity.
What happens next — the system no one talks about. 🧵👇
🎯 Apologists trying to credit Orbán for conceding are intentionally missing the point. He would’ve done anything to stay in power had he thought it possible. Hungarians made it impossible. Trying & failing to destroy democracy receives no credit. He didn't stop; he was stopped.
Just sent this out. Yesterday was an important and truthful day. The Ukrainians, including Zelensky and Budanov, came out and spoke truthfully about the US being with Russia (and therefore Trump being with Putin). It comes days after the Trump admin openly admitted the same.
