Just answer the question sir

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

Russia openly announces that it intends to render Kyiv uninhabitable within a month through a series of attacks.

Why?
Because Ukraine allegedly attacked a Russian vocational school and killed students.

However:
To this day, there is no verified evidence of this attack on students.

Furthermore:
According to data verified by the UN and UNICEF (as of November 2025), 1,611 Ukrainian schools have been damaged or destroyed by Russia (verified cases only). The actual figure is significantly higher—approximately 4,500 attacks on schools.

That is the Russian mindset.

We call it an excuse for further genocide.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

ZELENSKYY: We attack military targets in Russia, or their energy, which they sell to fund war. Russians deliberately target civilian objects: museums, schools, apartments. They destroyed this Chornobyl museum that we built for 40th anniversary just one month ago. Crazy assholes.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

Swedish Ambassador Martin Åberg visited the sites destroyed in the russian attack:

“My name is Martin Åberg, and I am the Ambassador of Sweden to Ukraine. Today is May 25, the day after a massive russian missile attack. A devastating strike on Kyiv.

What you see behind me is one of the sites visited by all invited ambassadors so they could witness the consequences with their own eyes. Six russian missiles struck a shopping center, a market, and the entrance to a metro station. It is simply staggering.”

It is important now to continue conveying to all political leaders that air defense for Ukraine is the number one priority. It is important to continue working together on the resilience of Ukrainian communities – and therefore on the experience of resilience that will be useful to communities in your countries.

It is enormously helpful for Ukraine to feel that we are not alone in our defense. People in your countries, as well as here in Ukraine, must continue to feel that evil will not prevail.

And we will remain very grateful to you for every joint project, every strong decision, every step that helps our defense and the protection of our cities and villages from Russian strikes, and for your participation in Ukraine’s reconstruction.

The fate of our freedom and yours is being decided here, in Ukraine, in this war – in which system prevails here: our shared European system, or Moscow’s.

From the speech at the 4th International Summit of Cities and Regions. (3/3)

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

More than 70 heads and representatives of foreign diplomatic missions visited the sites of recent Russian strikes on Kyiv.

All of these courageous diplomats, heads, and journalists continue working in Kyiv under constant strikes for the sake of peace in our country.

We thank Ukraine’s friends for their support and for standing with us.

Holy sh*t. Thomas Massie says he’s going to start publicly naming billionaires implicated in the Epstein files because Trump’s DOJ refuses to convict.

More courage than the rest of the GOP has combined.

Shocking footage of the destruction in Kyiv following Russian attacks last night.

Russia has once again targeted only civilian objectives.
Russia is a cancer.

Colbert got cancelled because CBS’ owner wanted to suck up to Trump.

Over and over, billionaires are auctioning off our 1st Amendment.

This isn’t about the rights of a TV host.

It’s about all our rights to live in a country where the president doesn’t dictate who says what.

Republican politician John McCain was one of the few people who understood from the beginning what Putin was all about. This interview is from 2014.

It’s a shame most US politicians still lack this kind of clarity.

[Senator Ed Sutton @EdCSutton]

Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be called into special session over Memorial Day weekend and have to argue that military members and their spouses deserve to have their votes counted after they already cast their ballots.

But here we are.

South Carolina is trying to rush through new congressional maps while the election process is already underway. Military and overseas voters followed the rules. They requested their ballots. They voted. They sent them back.

Now, because politicians want to change the maps at the last minute, those voters could have their ballots thrown out through no fault of their own.

That is unacceptable.

I have an amendment that says if the congressional primaries are moved to August, those military and overseas voters should automatically receive a new ballot for the new primary.

That should not be controversial.

But apparently, some folks are fighting me on it.

Some days it feels like I am living in the upside down. It is Memorial Day weekend, and I am having to fight to protect the voting rights of the very people serving our country.

If we say we support our veterans, our military members, and their families, then we should start by making sure their votes count.

Standing strong. Holding the line.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

Russia is losing on the battlefield and in the Black Sea. Its economy is in tatters. All it can do is bomb Ukrainian cities and civilians. This is why we must pass Russian sanctions and military aid to Ukraine. The House will vote on this in two weeks.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Since last night, first responders and all necessary services have been working wherever needed. As of now, at least 83 people have been confirmed injured since midnight. Tragically, there are fatalities. My condolences to the families and loved ones.

It was a heavy attack – 90 missiles of various types, many of them ballistic missiles – 36 in total. There were 600 drones. Unfortunately, not all of the ballistic missiles were intercepted – the largest number of hits was in Kyiv. Kyiv was the primary target of this Russian attack.

Putin can’t even pronounce the word “hurrah” clearly anymore – slurs and mumbles – yet he is still vanquishing residential buildings with his missiles. Launched three Russian missiles against a water supply facility. Burned down a market. Damaged dozens of residential buildings. Hit several ordinary schools. Launched his “Oreshnik” against Bila Tserkva. They really are unhinged.

It is important that this does not pass without consequences for Russia. Today, everyone in the world who will not stay silent and chooses to help Ukraine is a defender of life. It is critically important to continue working to secure air defense for Ukraine, especially anti-ballistic capabilities.

We are doing our best to achieve peace and protect people – everything. It is important that Ukraine is not alone. Decisions are needed – from the United States, from Europe and others – to make that old “Oreshnik” in Moscow finally utter the word “peace.”

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

The moment of one of today’s Russian strikes on Kyiv.

I can see that fewer and fewer people are reading news from Ukraine. I understand that on a Sunday morning, people don’t want to read about war. They want to sleep a little longer, drink good coffee, and sit in the sun. I understand that. The algorithms on X limit content about war, destruction, and suffering. You have to make an effort to even see this information.

All of this is understandable on a human level. But unfortunately, if you remove Putin and the war from your information feed, they do not disappear from reality.

Putin is a sadist and a maniac. He is a threat to all of humanity.

There needs to be active resistance. News from Ukraine needs to be shared. People need to keep their focus.

Despite a sleepless night, I’m still here. And I’m grateful to everyone who continues to stand with us.

One day, we’ll drink morning coffee together in a beautiful, peaceful Kyiv.
