"Russia only hits military targets."
Last night: 282 drones, Zircon and Iskander missiles, and North Korean KN-23s. Sixteen people killed across Ukraine, 59 wounded. In Kyiv, two dead from ballistic missiles. The night before, a historic market in the capital burned.
If those were military targets, the Russian army is at war with markets, apartment blocks and people asleep. Which, after four and a half years, is exactly what it looks like.
We are responding to Russia’s brutal strikes against life. Last night, thanks to our long-range sanctions, two oil refineries were hit – in Perm and Novoshakhtinsk. There were also hits on the Iskra Plant defense enterprise in Ulyanovsk, and the occupiers now have two fewer radar stations in the Rostov region. I thank our warriors and every unit involved for their accuracy and for systematically limiting Russia’s ability to kill. Glory to Ukraine!
A few years ago, the fear in European cities had a name, and the name was ISIS. Trucks on promenades, knives at Christmas markets, a threat that came from nowhere and belonged to no state. Today the threat has a headquarters, a budget and a chain of command, and it sits in Moscow.
German investigators now believe the GRU was behind the arson attack in Munich on September 3, when incendiary devices were hurled from a moving car onto a construction site beside the offices of Rohde & Schwarz and Helsing, the company that supplies drones to Ukraine. Two Bulgarian nationals, the sort of disposable hired hands Russia prefers, are in custody. It follows the drone attack on Leipzig Airport, which makes two suspected GRU sabotage operations in Germany within a single month.
Call it what it is. Russia is not merely fighting in Ukraine. It is waging war in Europe, one warehouse and one construction site at a time, and Europe keeps filing it under "incidents."
This video clearly demonstrates what Russian kamikaze drones are made of. More than 90% of their components are Chinese, including the most critical one —the turbojet engine.
China is supplying Russia with enormous quantities of these components.
Our athletes are dying. Some Ukrainian athletes are lying in operating rooms right now as a result of Russian shelling, and our stadiums and other sports facilities are being destroyed by Russian missiles.
But the IOC will keep talking about “sport out of politics” while bringing putin’s supporters back onto international sports arenas.
What cynicism this is.
🇷🇺 No more pretending it’s every Russian man’s duty to “heroically defend the Motherland” in Ukraine…

This is a huge NYT investigation into how Russia uses shell companies and Tether, a crypto coin, to evade sanctions and buy arms.
What it doesn't mention is that the main U.S. backer of Tether is Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Howard Lutnick's sons. https://t.co/ivQhkhKhU4

"The maximum programme for us is not only reach our constitutional borders, but also the complete collapse of the occupying country.
We have to contribute to this process as much as possible with our thoughts, our weapons, our diplomacy, our intelligence.
In other circumstances, the morning of February 24, 2022 will be repeated with regularity for Ukraine.”
.................
I share the same opinion as this determined guy.☺️🫡
We know that all the questions Putin gets asked are pre-prepared, and if he denies something, it’s a confirmation that he’ll do exactly the opposite.
The Baltic countries must really be triggering him.
Listen to what he says — and how he says it.
It’s sad that this pathetic old liar, who can barely string a sentence together, is still someone so many people are afraid of…
“We will continue to fight for the rights of our compatriots, but within the framework of international law.
We have never intended to use any other tools, nor have we used them, and we have no intention of doing so.”

“I can’t stay silent anymore. I don’t want you to just end the SMO — I want you to leave my country completely.
There are a lot of us. A lot of us. We’re just silent because we’re scared.”
