The first one’s gone.
In Moscow, Lieutenant General Sergei Kobylaš, commander of the Russian Air Force, accidentally fell out of a window.

What started as former Russian army commander Akexander Lunin threatening Putin over the epidemic of brutality, theft and murder in the Russian military is quickly becoming the seeds of civil war, as military units are producing videos joining the threats against the Kremlin.

Why so many Ukrainians speak russian? Let me explain.

But first, let me ask you a question: Why do Irish and Scotts speak English, Catalans and Basques speak Spanish, Bretons speak French, etc. You probably know the short answer. But let me put a longer one. Ukrainian language was banned by russia 134 times! Here are most notable events:

1720: A decree by Tsar Peter I banned the printing of books in Ukraine.
1753: A decree by Catherine II prohibited teaching in the Ukrainian language.
1768: A decree from the Synod of the russian Orthodox Church called for the confiscation of Ukrainian primers from the population.
1775: Closure of Ukrainian schools after russian troops destroyed the Zaporizhian Sich.
1830-1840s: russification of Ukraine intensified. Even the very name "Ukraine" was prohibited to be used.
1889: At an archaeological congress in Kyiv, it was permitted to read papers "in all languages except Ukrainian."
1895: A ban on Ukrainian children's literature.
1914: A ban on the Ukrainian press.
1938: Mandatory study of the russian language was introduced throughout Ukraine. At the same time, there was a mass closure of national schools, and the prestige of the Ukrainian language declined.
1926-1939: Physical deportations of Ukrainian activists accused of nationalism. Four family members on my mother’s side were deported.
1929: Newly printed dictionary of Ukrainian was prohibited.
1960s: Arrests and extermination of the young generation of Ukrainian intelligentsia.

130 years ago, Ukrainian-speaking area was not limited by Ukraine, but also some parts of russia and Belarus spoke it (see the red area, that's the result of russian Empire census in 1897, when people identified themselves by the language). So, when someone says that some region of Ukraine is “russian speaking”, read the above list again. It’s a miracle that Ukrainian language even survived, and many people sacrificed their lives for it.

Is there one particular window that they are all falling out of, or it just any old window that happens to be large enough

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

"Gasoline wars" is probably the best way to describe what's happening at gas stations across Russia right now.

After 26 years of Putin's rule, Russia is bankrupt - a corrupt, impoverished country that is running out of fuel. It is hated across the civilized world.

Ukraine is now destroying Putin’s last myth - that Russia has a powerful army, navy, and air force. In reality, Putin cannot even protect Moscow. The rest of Russia is even less defended.

If Putin is remembered at all, it will be as a pathetic, miserable failure and the murderer of hundreds of thousands of people. The man who brought Russia to ruin.

❗️I know I’m going to catch a lot of hate from the “Pro-🇺🇦 crowd” for this… but seriously.

Moscow is looking SO FIRE right now 🔥🔥🔥

Unfollow me if you want, but Moscow 🇷🇺 has never looked hotter.

Let’s hope it stays that way.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Lots of birds of freedom flying to Russia tonight! Go, birds, go! 🕊🔥

[Igor Sushko @igorsushko]

In case anyone forgot, Biden worked to prevent Ukraine from striking Russian oil at all costs, even with Ukraine's own drones.
Biden used the conditional and very limited arms supplies to Ukraine as leverage.
Moscow is currently out of fuel.

Meanwhile in Crimea… 😂

The guy who won’t stop talking about how he created the “greatest economy ever” just got a 31% approval rating on the economy.

Serhii Kernytskyi spent 346 days at a position near Chasiv Yar, killed 23 Russians and took 6 prisoner.

He deliberately let them close to 20 meters before throwing a grenade. He has been nominated for the title of Hero of Ukraine — 24th Brigade.

Throughout that year Kernytskyi kept a video diary — filming attacks, trophies and daily life on his phone. There was no signal, but the phone worked.

Hundreds of short videos survived: a dugout burning after an incendiary device, him counting trophy rifles, frying ribs and cooking soup.

Before the army he was a construction worker from Khmelnytskyi Oblast. He mobilized on November 3, 2024. He expected to stay three months, then maybe six.

It turned into almost a year. When he asked his commander why they weren't rotating him out, the answer was: there are no people, no one to send.

The position was a dugout three by four meters near Chasiv Yar, later named "Kernytska" after him.

On the first day a comrade was killed — a shell punched through the ceiling and left a hole one and a half by one and a half meters.

His close-combat tactic was simple: let the Russians come within 20-25 meters, meet them with a grenade, finish them off. Shooting through the bushes further back made no sense.

Kernytskyi: "So I don't miss. So I have certainty that I will take him down."

In winter he stood watch for two hours at a time — by the third his hands froze so badly he couldn't reload his rifle.

He packed the dugout walls with sandbags and trophy body armor to stop shrapnel. He ran the wood stove pipes far out through brambles and covered them with branches.

He never asked his commander for ammunition, grenades or food — he collected everything from killed enemies.

He accumulated 12 trophy AK-12 rifles, a body armor vest, a laser sight, dry rations and cigarettes.

At the end of January 2026 he was left alone. First one comrade was killed by an FPV drone. Then the second, who had been with him for nearly a year, died from a shrapnel wound to an artery.

Kernytskyi: "In the morning we're laughing, by evening — already the heavenly watch."

When drones spotted a group of 8 Russians moving to take the position, he burned the sleeping bags, stripped the trophy rifles and threw the firing pins into the field.

He walked out alone in a moonless night, moving like a tortoise — his legs barely held after months of concussions.

He could not bring his two fallen comrades out. He covered one lightly with earth. The other remained in the dugout.

Kernytskyi: "I cannot justify myself. How do I explain it to their families. How do I look them in the eyes. It is terrifying."

He is now in hospital — his legs are not functioning after a year of constant concussive blasts. He never thought about an award and did not expect one.

Kernytskyi: "I just wanted to stay alive and see my family. For my family to see me. That was all I had."

Это очень страшный текст.
С именами и фотографиями.
В марте 2022 в Киевской области на трассе М-06 россияне расстреляли и сожгли вместе с мирными людьми 11 машин.
Распространяйте. Мы должны делать так чтобы эти преступления не были забыты.
Российской федерации это не должно сойти с рук. Никогда.

Every time Ukrainian Defenders return from Russian captivity, they cross the border singing Ukraine's national anthem with tears in their eyes.

Welcome home, Warriors! 🇺🇦

Thanks to Ukrainian pilots, dozens of jet-powered Shaheds have already been intercepted by interceptor STING drones 🚀

However, russia plans to increase the share of jet-powered Shaheds to 50% of all Shahed deployments. This marks another shift in enemy tactics and a new challenge for Ukraine’s air defense.

Wild Hornets, together with Ukrainian servicemen, is already working on the solution — STING 2.0.

Stay tuned. More to come 😉

[Terry Virts @AstroTerry]

You are 100% right Senator Tillis. So why did you vote to confirm Hegseth? And Bondi. And Gabbard. And RFK. And Noem.

And why did you vote to acquit on J6?

You own 100% of this Trump disaster, and if you had a change of heart then repent and publicly denounce Trump and MAGA.

[Black Spark @Black_Spark2]

This is a message to the peoples and regions of Russia

You have the right to self-determination and to rise up for freedom and independence from Moscow.

Only you can decide your own fate!

Together, we can cut Moscow off from the riches of Komi, Ingria, Karelia, the Caucasus, the Kuban, the Volga Region, the Urals, Siberia, and the Far East.

Let's defeat the empire together!
