What horrifyingly diabolic symbolism: today, Russia killed a one-year-old child and a 100-year-old woman in Ukraine.

Absolute, pure, all-consuming evil.

[Serhii Sternenko @sternenko]

One-year-old Angelina, born in August 2025, died right in her stroller. Her mother, Inna, passed away in the hospital.

What were they guilty of? Why does the US President support this russian evil?

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.

I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

Russia has intensified its strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure over the weekend. This is an attack on Ukrainian civilians, plunging them into cold and darkness. The UK strongly supports President Trump's call today for a sustained energy ceasefire to start now. I discussed this with @zelenskyyUa yesterday: Ukraine is ready if Russia stops its attacks. This is the best route to get energy and fuel back into world markets.

He really is an utter cunt, isn’t he?

[Bricktop_NAFO @Bricktop_NAFO]

Just got stopped by Russian tourists who asked for directions.

I was more than happy to dedicate some time to help them find their way.

In the wrong direction.

Cunts.

[Oz Katerji @OzKaterji]

Ignore the silly criticism of his clothes, Andy Burnham’s first ever foreign visit as Prime Minister has gone down very well with Ukrainians.

Foreign policy was Burnham’s weakness, but you wouldn’t know that if you were only judging by today’s performance.

Proud of my PM today

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

A boy on his bike near Kramatorsk was just murdered by a russian drone. They posted this video of their crime. This is evidence this war has nothing to do with territory. It’s an attempt to wipe out an entire civilian population of an innocent county while the world watches.

@jeremycorbyn Thank god you never became PM. You are thick as pigs shit.

[Андрій Садовий @AndriySadovyi]

This morning, at 4:45 a.m., Lviv woke up to the sound of Russian missiles.

Within minutes, we were at the impact sites.

One missile tore through a residential building on Patona Street, ripping away entire floors. Another struck an apartment block on Vyhovskoho Street. There, a 400-kilogram warhead became lodged inside the building without detonating. Rescue workers spent hours carefully securing it before they could continue searching for survivors.

All day long, firefighters, police officers, medics, utility crews, and volunteers worked side by side.

Twenty-one residential buildings, a kindergarten, and a school were damaged.

Twenty-three people needed medical assistance. Thirteen remain in hospital, one of them in critical condition.

For hours, two residents were still missing beneath the rubble. Every minute felt unbearably long. Every rescuer knew that someone might still be alive.

Today, we held an emergency commission meeting directly at the site of the attack.

Our message to every family was simple: you will not be left alone.

The city will rebuild every home that has been destroyed. Until then, we will cover the cost of temporary housing. We will compensate residents for damaged windows and doors. If needed, families will stay in hotels. We cannot replace what Russia has taken from people overnight, but we can make sure no one faces this tragedy alone.

This is what resilience looks like.

Not because we are used to war. No one ever gets used to it.

But because every time Russia tries to break our city, thousands of people come together to save lives, support one another, and rebuild.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

I've just realised it's been 1,500 DAYS since I started volunteering in Ukraine! 🥳🥳🥳

Thanks to all you beautiful people we have achieved so much:

• Millions of dollars in aid delivered to the front

• Thousands of occupiers vaporised

• More drones “not made” than I can count

I’ll forever be in your debt for helping us fight off the russian horde. And I’ll keep volunteering until we win - whether that’s another month or another five years. I’ll be here for Ukraine and for all of you, EVERY DAY.

[Igor Sushko @igorsushko]

I'm shocked and don't know what to think of this. Hopefully Fedorov will be placed in a position where he will be even more effective at transforming the Ukrainian military toward victory.

[Mykhailo Fedorov @FedorovMykhailo]

It has been a great honor to serve the Ukrainian people as the Minister of Defense.

Here is what our team managed to achieve:

1. Disabled Starlink access for Russian forces.

2. Took over a Ministry of Defense with zero budget, took a risk, reallocated funds from payroll from the end of the year, and effectively invested them in mid-strike capabilities, fiber-optic FPVs, low-cost reconnaissance, ground robotic platforms, interceptor drones, and deep-strike drones.

3. Launched "Logistical Lockdown", this cut off enemy logistics and initiated the isolation of Crimea.

4. Continued the funding program for the Drone Line.

5. Launched a support program for modern drone-assault units that rely primarily on advanced technologies in combat.

6. Introduced a 70% advance payment policy for procurements made via e-Points on the Brave1 Market portal.

7. Fundamentally overhauled the procurement system.

8. Procured thousands of pickup trucks, buggies, and ATVs for the military for the first time—and did so through open tenders.

9. The drone interception rate rose from 83% to 91%, and the cruise missile interception rate soared from 47% to 87%.

10. Contracted Patriot PAC-2 GEM-T missiles for the first time, and submitted an application through an EU loan to purchase PAC-3 missiles.

11. Launched a baseline drone supply system for brigades and corps.

12. Launched a massive grant program for manufacturers of explosives and missiles.

13. Initiated an unpopular but vital transformation of the military.

14. Conducted three UDCG meetings, where we successfully broke through the Russian information trap claiming our defeat, restoring partners' faith in Ukraine. This secured $40 billion in support announced for this year (excluding the EU loan).

15. Launched the mechanism to utilize the EU loan for our military priorities.

16. Found a way to scale cheap missiles against jet-powered Shaheds and signed a record-breaking contract.

17. Our domestic ballistics. We radically revised the technical specifications, maximized accuracy, and reduced the cost by 30%.

18. Signed a contract to procure Gripen fighter jets.

19. Collaborated with the military to plan and execute Operation Auchan, which halted the enemy's mechanized offensive for six months.

20. Opened up exports under the Drone Deal program to attract investment and scale up domestic defense-industrial complex (OPK) production.

21. Launched the Trophy Lab, providing partners with the opportunity to study captured Russian military technologies.

22. Launched the Defense AI Center A1 to accelerate the integration of artificial intelligence on the battlefield.

Thank you to my entire team for their relentless 24/7 service. A special thank you to my family for their patience.

Thank you all for your support!

I will continue to work toward the mission I originally brought to the Ministry of Defense: defeating the enemy through asymmetry, the speed of innovation, and the power of organization.

To be continued.

[Bohdan Krotevych @BohdanKrotevych]

Yesterday, Keir Starmer announced that he would step down amid a deep political crisis. I believe John Healey’s resignation also played an important role. The Defence Secretary made it clear that, without adequate funding for the armed forces, he could not deliver the defence programme the country needed — and he resigned.

That is what political responsibility looks like. If you take office to change something but are given neither the resources nor the ability to do your job properly, you either fight publicly to deliver results or you leave. Holding on to office simply for its own sake is unworthy. Many Ukrainian politicians could learn from this.
People today have far greater access to information and can clearly see when a government is failing on security. I believe the British public understands this too and, for the sake of their own security, will increasingly support more decisive leaders — people who are ready to act and take responsibility. The political crisis Labour has faced since the local elections is evidence of that.

Andy Burnham is now the frontrunner to succeed Starmer, and I find that encouraging. What matters to me personally is that he has consistently supported Ukraine, understands the threat posed by russia, and has backed practical cooperation between British and Ukrainian communities.

Burnham has spoken out against russia’s seizure of Crimea, publicly recognised the Holodomor as genocide, and supported initiatives helping Ukrainians find employment and settle in the United Kingdom.

Given how strongly British society has stood with Ukraine, and considering Labour’s continuing support for our country, I believe decisive leaders will be given the opportunity to act. Difficult times have always demanded action, hard decisions and personal responsibility.

who is making these videos im actually crying

[Al Carns @AlistairCarns]

A few things happening at once that people should connect.

Russia is now linked to the arson attacks on the Prime Minister's house and car last year. Shocker.

And we all saw what happened the moment that story broke. Our feeds flooded with a different story about who the men were and why they did it.

That's the operation. The arson is one half. The disinformation campaign is the other.

Flood the zone, muddy the water, get the country shouting at itself instead of asking who is behind it.

And at the same time, a chunk of the accounts pushing Scottish independence on X went dark the night Israel hit Iran's nuclear sites.

Ask yourself why. Why would hostile states be interested in sowing division across the country?

This is exactly what I mean when I say defence is the thread underneath everything now.

Again, it isn't tanks on a border. It's an arson attack on the PM's front door and state-sponsored disinformation campaigns in the replies. It's the argument about breaking up our country being run out of Tehran.

This is why resilience matters. And it's bigger than just factchecking a tweet. It's energy we can rely on. Industry we actually own. Institutions that are rock solid. Communities that don't split and fracture the moment someone pushes them. A country that is built to take a punch.

That's the job now.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

@Nigel_Farage Are you getting desperate, lad?

Maybe keep your crypto millions for something else. 😂

[Kyiv. The City of Courage @Kyiv]

This may be the most infernal night in Kyiv since the start of the full-scale war. Dozens of ballistic missiles, crusie missiles, hypersonic missiles and drones attacking the capital non-stop. Explosions are so loud, that the ground is shaking. Just praying that everyone sees the sunrise alive and safe.
