The @KyivIndependent editorial:

A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky

European leaders want the fighting in Ukraine to end. But many also fear that a ceasefire could free a battle-hardened Russian military to probe NATO's eastern flank.

Tucker Carlson presents himself as an American patriot, but he just invited Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout on his podcast to spread Kremlin propaganda. I unpacked some of their many lies for @KyivIndependent. https://t.co/ANj6KkjqAS

Since they arrived on the scene, I've reported from about a dozen different FPV drone positions. When you have a true flying ace in the goggles, a crack team, and plenty of drones, the result is something special.

Our report with the Signum battalion:

How do you know the #Kremlin’s #Ireland man is getting worried?

When he puts out a lengthy denial of latest developments, including #Ukraine counter-attacks inside #Russia and Russian-occupied territory

#Crimea

I know it's far from the biggest issue here but how is it possible to be this shit at taking photos?

[Candace Owens @RealCandaceO]

I’m not sure what I was expecting but I wasn’t expecting this.
Moscow is an unbelievably beautiful city.

NEW: Ukraine is attempting to strangle Russian logistics with a new drone campaign that might be the most significant development of the war this year.

Trying to infiltrate into Kupiansk, Russian troops crawl 15km through the pipelines, constantly trying to build new exits.

The main issue is that the pipeline is "almost impossible" to destroy, “Abat,” the deputy commander of Khartiia Brigade, says.

The UK's Russia sanctions debacle is being pitched as more about clumsy communication than going backwards on sanctions.

For me the issue is Westminster published third-country exemptions on Russian oil *the same day* it signed a G7 statement pledging the exact opposite.

@RhonddaBryant – isn't this hypocrisy?

[Jimmy Rushton @JimmySecUK]

NEW: Ukraine has gained the upper hand in all sectors of the drone war, I argue in my latest piece for the Kyiv Independent.

Kyiv's advances in the drone technology race presents a series of compounding problems that Russia cannot easily solve.

Important follow up to The Kyiv Independent's investigation into the "dangerous" and "reckless" Yellow Ribbon and Zla Mavka initiatives, which asked Ukrainians living in the occupied territories to perform "suicidally" dangerous acts of "non-violent resistance".

[Asami Terajima @AsamiTerajima]

Inside the surprise counterattack operation in the southeast, where Ukrainian soldiers snuck behind the Russian rear to gradually advance through drone-infested “gray zone.”

Secrecy was paramount. The op details were kept to as small circle as possible.

[Francis Farrell @francisjfarrell]

Victory Day and Ukraine's deep strike success has triggered a wave of positive energy for fans of vibes-based analysis.

But the most important indicator of the war's course remains the front line itself. The news there is also promising.

@CeramicLar47474 @joeKMorris @ClarkeMicah Lol you fucking anon coward.

[Chris York @ChrisDYork]

I've lived in Ukraine for nearly 5 years now and can tell you categorically that you're wrong.

I know you'll just ignore that but it just proves it's actually you who is the ignorant one, pontificating on things you have zero experience of from the safety of your home thousands of miles away.

[Chris York @ChrisDYork]

@1962Wren Hello, you too! I’ve largely given up on Twitter but I’m doing a bit on Insta if you’re on there https://t.co/vPGOkDvR37

[Chris York @ChrisDYork]

You helped deny Assad's chemical weapons attacks in Syria and just yesterday parroted Kremlin propaganda justifying Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

On both occasions you've betrayed the "innocent people" you pretend to care about in your endless pursuit to be contrary and relevant.

[Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah]

.@chrisdyork. 1/2 I have not in the past, do not now and will not in the future do the things of which you falsely accuse me. I am a British patriot and a Christian who hates to see innocent people killed in needless wars, and does not want my country drawn into such wars.

[Chris York @ChrisDYork]

Oh look, Peter Hitchens is still jumping at the chance to defend authoritarians and speak on behalf of the people they oppress from the comfort of his luxury Oxford home.

[Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah]

.@ambdanfried. Why is there a conflict in Ukraine at all? In 1991, Ukraine was a united nation, a successful if sometimes turbulent democracy. After 2014, and the shameful lawless putsch your government rapidly condoned, it was fiercely & violently divided. The 'west' did this.

[Chris York @ChrisDYork]

Like, there were actual planes as well but this bit was weird

[Chris York @ChrisDYork]

Pretty sure Russia just used AI footage of fighter jets flying over the Red Square Victory Day parade...

[Tim Zadorozhnyy @timzadorozhnyy]

SCOOP: Trump’s envoys aren’t in a hurry to visit Kyiv.

Concerns in Washington that talks may go nowhere — plus a more mundane obstacle:

“They have to take the train. It’s difficult for Witkoff,” a source tells me.
