«De sus espadas forjarán arados, podaderas de sus lanzas. No levantará espada una nación contra otra ni se adiestrarán más para la guerra». Isaías 2, 4
She lost her leg to a russian strike. She didn’t lose her dream.
Ukrainian gymnast Oleksandra Pascal won gold at the “Carla’s Rhythmic Cup” in Romania — competing with a bionic prosthetic leg.
In 2022, she survived a russian strike on Zatoka, spent weeks in intensive care, and underwent amputation.
Today, she stands on the podium.
Stronger than war. Stronger than what tried to break her.
Als 40 russische Hubschrauber den Himmel über Hostomel verdunkelten, schien der Fall Kyivs unausweichlich. Doch der 25-jährige Unterleutnant Serhij Falatyuk trat mutig auf das Rollfeld und drückte ab. Sein Schuss brach den russischen Blitzkrieg, rettete die Ukraine. https://t.co/LQlKzXWbOw
🤯 @Nike released a new collection with “Rassvet,” founded by Gosha Rubchinskiy, who is known for Russian imperialist aesthetics and a history of predatory behavior toward minors.
🧵 1/4 ⬇️
He publicado en @vocedelpatriota este reportaje de investigacion de Oleksandra Kovalyk y Vadym Syroyezhko (European Pravda), sobre las actividades del Regimiento Inmortal:
"Su objetivo es justificar los crímenes cometidos contra Ucrania. La coordinadora del “Regimiento Inmortal” en Madrid recoge ayuda humanitaria para el ejército ruso y se reúne con Putin en Moscú, y niños españoles escriben cartas a los combatientes de la llamada “SVO”, (Operación Militar Especial) es decir, participantes de la agresión militar contra Ucrania, y viajan a un campamento en la Crimea ocupada".

🇷🇺⚠️Every Russian general who ordered strikes on civilians is now a marked man.
Retired US Army @general_ben, in an exclusive interview, says the GUR has already started the clock — and there is nowhere to hide.
"Every officer in the chain of command — for the rest of his life — is going to have to be checking under his car. Because the GUR is going to hunt them down."
Russia can't protect everything. And neither can its generals.

Not a general, but a russian colonel was reported demilitarized today.
In Balashikha, Damir Davydov — who was responsible for supplying missiles and artillery ammunition to russia’s military — is no longer a problem.
Cuarto asesinato en Moscú de un alto mando ruso, fuentes señalan que sería el jefe del Estado Mayor de las Fuerzas Aeroespaciales https://t.co/G55qrWjfk3
Jhan Sebastian «Onyx» Restrepo Mazo.
The Colombian Marine Corps.
An honored warrior in the military circles of his country.
And now of Ukraine as well. Wounded in infantry combat. Awarded the Badge for Wounding by the Ministry of Defense. Recipient of the Golden Cross, and subsequently the Oak Leaf to the Golden Cross from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
A deeply kind soul. At times, he would return with food for a random street puppy that seemed too hungry to Jhan.
«Onyx» dearly loved cooking and enjoying delicious food.
A warrior of Christ, a professional soldier, a fierce hater of the communist plague. Army, business, forensics, culinary arts.
Jhan Sebastian was highly multifaceted. Kind to friends. And relentless toward enemies.
The Foreign Legion, and later the 413th «Raid» Regiment. Jhan Sebastian served in UAV bomber crew and fell in battle for Hulihaipole.
«Onyx» was enchanted by the Carpathians. He fell in love with Ukraine. His last wish was to be buried in Lviv.
Sebastian's family flew from Colombia to bid farewell to the hero.
We invite you to attend the farewell ceremony. Ukraine became a new sacred homeland for the Colombian warrior of Christ.
Paying our last respects to an absolute volunteer who spent several years battling the invaders for our freedom is a matter of honor for Ukrainians.

The drone pilots of the motorized infantry battalion of the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade carried out a unique mission to save these adorable cuties🐱
Using a large drone, they successfully evacuated a mother cat and her 5 kittens🧵
An American helicopter has been shot down over the Strait of Hormuz
According to Donald Trump, the United States is obligated to respond to the attack.
The russian human safari in Ukraine continues.
In Derhachi, Kharkiv region, a russian drone deliberately struck a civilian car — killing one woman and injuring four more people.
Civilians are the target. Every single day.
Valoramos la belleza de la naturaleza ucraniana y trabajamos para concienciar sobre la destrucción que #Rusia ha causado al medio ambiente de #Ucrania.
Los ataques con misiles y drones, la ocupación, los incendios forestales y de estepa, así como la contaminación, ponen en grave peligro ecosistemas únicos. Este año, el tema principal del Día Mundial del Medio Ambiente, definido por las Naciones Unidas, es el cambio climático. Según el activista neerlandés por el clima Lennard de Klerk, Rusia ha provocado 237 millones de toneladas adicionales de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero desde febrero de 2022. Estas emisiones aceleran el cambio climático y tendrán consecuencias duraderas para la naturaleza en todo el mundo.
Rusia está destruyendo deliberadamente hábitats naturales, además de herir y matar animales en Ucrania. Esto constituye un acto de ecocidio, y Rusia debe responder por ello.
No permitamos que la naturaleza quede en silencio. Ayúdanos a difundir la verdad sobre el ecocidio en Ucrania.

A Ukrainian drone commander walked into GLOBSEC with a scenario for Europe.
20 armed men capture a village on NATO's eastern border. Russia denies it. The country sends armored vehicles in.
They don't make it. Russia builds 20-kilometer kill zones now. 98% vehicle destruction inside the belt.
Captain Oleksandr Yabchanka commands the Da Vinci Wolves regiment's drone platoon. He builds the kill zones he is describing.
He tours Europe because no one has answered the scenario.

"Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Ukraine ends up winning this war. They destroy at least one Pantsir missile system almost every day. We get hit by drones every night. Yet on TV, we're told everything is going according to plan!"
A resident of Simferopol serving in Russia's FSB complains about regular drone attacks across occupied Crimea, the declining effectiveness of Russian air defenses, and ongoing fuel shortages.
Russian Z propaganda tg-channel "From Mariupol to the Carpathians" has published a video showing a drone strike on a civilian in Kherson. Out of respect for the victim, I will not be posting the video here.
The video is accompanied by an absolutely sadistic post:
"Kherson. Red zone.
Some piece of shit crossed the line and forgot who the master of Karantynny Island is. Only the UAVs of the 18th Combined Arms Army of the "Dnepr" Group of Forces decide who gets to walk on Russian land or die under a fence.
The red zone is slowly but surely moving north; any equipment is a legitimate target, and any movement of manpower on the ground will be suppressed. The city will be slowly cleansed."
This feral cruelty, this inhuman malice, this is what Ukrainians fight against every single day. This is something we can never submit to, because on the other side of occupation, under the rule of these monsters, nothing but death awaits us.
Kaja Kallas called on Ireland to investigate whether its alumina ends up in Russia’s war machine.
I have the same question.
Why does an independent journalist have to collect alumina samples and try to trace this himself?
Doesn’t the Irish state have the capability to do it?
Ukraine would certainly provide access to missile fragments, drones, aircraft wreckage, and other captured Russian military equipment for analysis.
Ukraine’s Deep Strikes Get Scarier for Russia—
Satellite imagery shows extensive damage at the arsenal of Russia’s 1060th Logistics Support Center in Bolshaya Izhora near St. Petersburg, after a Ukrainian long-range drone strike hit one of Moscow’s military storage sites far from the front.
The location matters: this is not a symbolic border raid, but a strike deep into the Russian rear, close to Putin’s showcase city and inside the logistics ecosystem that supports Russia’s wider war machine.

Now that Russia is switching from military vehicles to civilian vehicles as a means to transport weapons and fuel for its forces in the occupied territories, a reminder of the early days after Russia's initial 2014 invasion and occupation of Donetsk and Luhansk.
"Humanitarian convoys" even painted with slogans and accompanied by propaganda campaigns in global media were actually primarily caches of weapons, ammo and contraband related to occupational forces.
Nothing ever changes with Russians.
