💫10 травня — день народження Героя України Олександра Мацієвського. В цей день він мав би чути теплі слова від рідних, обіймати сина Михайлика та маму Параску, але він віддав життя за свою країну…
Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
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 fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”
Even in relatively safe Kyiv, it still feels like this — everything looks the way it should.
Family, Easter bread, open churches, people out in the streets.
But inside, there’s a tension you can’t switch off.
Some will take their baskets to be blessed today.
And some never will again.
And these candles… they’re no longer just about the holiday.
They’re for our own.
For those far away.
For those who never made it back.
And you catch yourself thinking something simple, almost childlike:
the only thing you want right now is for everyone to be alive.
That thought tightens your chest.
And still — we hold on.
This Easter morning, like every morning, comes because of our defenders.
Even after the darkest, loudest nights, we keep trying to live.
We just want one day to be a normal morning…
No news of the dead.
No sirens.
No daily horror.
No quiet, constant fear inside.
💔 Odesa.
They were just sleeping at home. Now there is no home — and no lives. russia killed 2 people here tonight.
There is no safe place in Ukraine. People go to sleep not knowing if they’ll wake up. This is our reality.
Don’t stop talking about Ukraine and russian crimes.
Yesterday, russians cold-bloodedly killed these people on a city bus in Nikopol.
🕯️84-year-old Valentyna Kozhushana worked in the energy sector for many years. She is survived by her children and four grandchildren.
🕯️72-year-old Mariia Bondar spent her life working at a library at Elektrometalurh Stadium, opening the world of books to so many.
🕯️56-year-old Nataliia Chernyshova worked in healthcare. She is survived by her husband, daughter, and two grandchildren.
🕯️53-year-old Roman Diatlov worked at Centravis. He is remembered as a kind and reliable person.
They were simply going about their day...
Behind each of these names is a life destroyed, a family shattered, and pain that will never fade.
Nadiya 84 from Orikhovo: lived under shelling for 8 months, hid in house, saw rockets and explosions. She has difficulty walking, trouble sitting. Her speech is impaired. She used to work as a lathe operator at a factory.

BREAKING: Qatar just signed a 10-year defence co-production agreement with Ukraine.
Not an advisory partnership. Not a training exchange. Co-production facilities. Joint defence industry projects. Technological partnerships between companies. Signed by the Chiefs of General Staff of both nations on March 28 per Zelensky’s verified account and Qatar News Agency.
Qatar shares the world’s largest natural gas field with Iran. The North Field / South Pars reservoir holds 1,800 trillion cubic feet of gas per the IEA. Two-thirds lies in Qatari waters. Ten days ago, Iran hit Ras Laffan Industrial City, the facility that processes all the gas from Qatar’s side of their shared field per CNN and QatarEnergy. Seventeen percent of Qatar’s LNG capacity is offline for three to five years. Fourteen percent of helium exports are cut. Force majeure declared.
Iran bombed the other half of its own shared gas field. And now Qatar is building weapons factories with the country that mastered killing the drone Iran used to do it.
The drone is the Shahed-136. Iran designed it. Russia industrialised it. Russia fired it at Ukrainian cities for four years. Ukraine developed the $2,100 Sting interceptor that kills it at a 70 percent rate. Zelensky told The National he can deliver 1,000 interceptors per day. The 10-year deal ensures Qatar will not just buy these weapons. It will manufacture them on Qatari soil with Ukrainian technology.
This is the first time in the history of this war that a Gulf state has committed to building the production line, not just purchasing the product. Saudi Arabia signed a defence cooperation agreement on March 27. The UAE agreed to security cooperation on March 28. But Qatar went further. Co-production means factories. Factories mean sovereignty over supply. Qatar will no longer depend on anyone for the weapon that protects the gas field that powers 30 percent of the world’s helium.
Zelensky met Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani. He updated them on Russia’s ongoing attacks and its cooperation with the Iranian regime. He told them air defence remains Ukraine’s absolute priority. Then he asked for what he has asked every Gulf leader this week: Patriot missiles that the Gulf possesses and that Ukraine desperately needs to stop Russian missiles that use the same guidance components from the same Chinese rare earth processing chain.
The exchange is now visible across three countries in 48 hours. Ukraine gives cheap interceptors and expertise. Gulf states give expensive missiles and investment. Ukraine gets what it needs for Russia. The Gulf gets what it needs for Iran. And the drone that connects both wars, the Shahed that Iran designed and Russia upgraded, becomes the mechanism through which two separate conflicts merge into a single weapons economy.
Trump called Zelensky “the greatest salesman on Earth.” In 48 hours, Zelensky signed three defence agreements across three Gulf capitals, secured a 10-year industrial partnership, deployed over 200 specialists, and positioned Ukraine as the sole provider of the one capability America’s $3.9 million Patriot cannot replicate: cheap, high-volume, battle-proven drone interception at $2,100 per unit.
The country America said it did not need just locked in a decade of Gulf defence contracts while America raids Swiss accounts to cover its own interceptor shortfall.

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.
A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.
Let’s keep this in the spotlight every day
Zelensky isn’t angry. He is patient in a way that makes it worse.
He is saying that Ukraine is now turning to the Middle East and the Gulf for what Europe has failed to deliver. Ballistic defense. Financing. The things Europe has had four years to coordinate and still cannot because Hungary sits in the room and nobody has figured out how to remove a hostile state from an alliance it is actively sabotaging.
Four years. That is how long the EU has been pissed on by Orban and responded by scheduling another meeting.
And now Zelensky is cutting deals with Gulf states based on shared drone warfare expertise. Ukraine teaches them how to survive modern aerial attack. They help fund Ukraine’s defense. A clean bilateral arrangement that bypasses the entire European bureaucratic apparatus completely.
If that deal gets done, it is the single most embarrassing indictment of EU foreign policy in the institution’s history. Not because Ukraine found partners elsewhere. Because it had to.
Europe built a system so paralyzed by its own consensus rules that a single pro-Kremlin government in Budapest can hold 400 million people hostage for four years while a democracy bleeds out on the continent’s eastern border.
The question is whether Europe is even embarrassed enough to notice.
