🔴 Russian soldier confesses to rape and murder of Ukrainian children.
Captured Russian soldier Rustam Gareyev from the 15th Motorized Rifle Brigade confessed to executing 20 civilians in Avdiivka, including an elderly woman and a teenager.
I asked a local councillor if the russian refinery here in Ireland should be sanctioned.
He said yes, if it was supplying Israel.
But Russia? No.
This is Ireland’s sanctions hypocrisy in 90 seconds.
Hungary: Incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar calls anyone pressuring Ukraine to stop fighting to liberate her land and people occupied by Russia a traitor.
This is the humiliation Trump never saw coming.
While Washington postures and stumbles, Zelensky is doing what real leaders do: turning Ukraine’s pain, knowledge, and survival into something the world now needs.
That is the irony. The country so many tried to lecture and betray now holds some of the most valuable battlefield knowledge on earth — drones, air defense, and survival under constant attack.
Ukraine was treated like a burden.
Now it looks like the backbone of modern security.
Ukrainian intelligence has obtained internal Russian government documents revealing Moscow’s own assessment of its battlefield losses in the war against Ukraine at 1,315,000 soldiers, with 62% dead, 38% wounded.
The documents, discussed today with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Oleh Ivashchenko, indicate that Russia internally estimates its losses at 1,315,000 soldiers killed or seriously wounded since the start of the full-scale invasion.
The reports also note a shift in the casualty ratio, with a growing share of Russian losses now resulting in fatalities rather than wounded personnel.
According to Ukrainian officials, these figures come from closed Russian reports and may still underestimate the true scale of Russia’s losses.
Moldova: 3 Kremlin operatives arrested after they crossed the border from Russia-occupied Transnistria.
They were to instigate chaos and unrest following the announcement of election results.
Improvised explosives seized.
It is now clear: even with votes still to be counted, Moldova has chosen Europe. @sandumaiamd and PAS are heading to a decisive majority. A victory for the European spirit in Eastern Europe and a hard lesson for Putin. Free citizens choose democracy, free citizens choose Europe.
Zelensky warned that Ukraine’s military will respond if provocations on the Hungarian border continue. He said reconnaissance drones had been detected and ordered a full review, adding that if they reappear, the military will react appropriately to defend the country.
❗️Trump promises to consider transferring weapons to Kyiv, which "will force Putin to sit at the negotiating table," - Zelensky.
"President Trump knows, I [told] him yesterday that we need one thing. We need it, but that doesn't mean we're going to use it, because if we get it, I think it would be additional pressure on Putin to come to the negotiating table."
Vladimir Plahotniuc, the fugitive Moldovan oligarch that stole about 12% of Moldova’s GDP and was sanctioned by the EU for attempts to destabilize and threaten the territorial integrity of both Moldova and Ukraine, has been brought back to Moldova in chains today.
💬 "Lavrov, I mean he's foreign minister of Russia, I think since the birth of Jesus Christ? And since the nothing, anything useful came out of his mouth, so let's not pay too much attention to Mr. Lavrov," says NATO Chief Rutte.
President Zelensky in the Fox News Bret Baier interview:
1) American & Ukrainian intelligence concerning the state of the war are in alignment.
2) President Trump got tired of being constantly lied to by Putin and changed his position, knows Putin doesn't want peace.
A guest on mainstream Russian TV goes off script, complains that Russia's invasion has almost gone as long as WW2, calls out the Russian Defense Ministry for lying and says that it was a big mistake to underestimate Ukraine's Armed Forces.
I gave a joint statement on behalf of the Nordic countries at the UN Security Council. It is time for Russia to come to the negotiating table. Ukraine needs a just and lasting peace.
I addressed the UN Security Council. We must admit – the world’s attention to the UN is fading. The Organization has less influence, and too often there is a lack of real decisions on fundamental issues. The tools are not working now. But they will, if you are active.
