If Ukraine hit a train full of Russian civilians it would be all over world news this morning.
But when Russia hits a train full of Ukrainian civilians it's just another Wednesday.
We have a sick world because our media is sick
The Russians are preparing a new massive strike – our intelligence indicates this. The United States, Europe, and all our partners have to understand how this discredits diplomatic talks. Every single Russian strike does.
There are already initial reports on the situation in the regions after the Russian strike. Kyiv and the region, Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Sumy, and other regions of ours. Repair crews, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, and all necessary forces are engaged everywhere.
The Russian strike involved a significant number of ballistic and cruise missiles. Plus more than 300 attack drones. Our air defense forces intercepted a significant number of targets. The day before this strike, we finally received the necessary missiles, which helped significantly. Every support package matters. Missiles for Patriots, NASAMS, and other air defense systems are critically needed. The direct task of our entire diplomatic system is to ensure that Ukraine has sufficient air defense capabilities. And partners must not fail to deliver on this – air defense missiles are real protection for human life.
In the format of a special energy coordination call, we will determine all the details regarding the consequences of the attack and the resources needed to restore electricity, heat, and water supply for people. The most difficult situation for now is in Kyiv, where a significant number of residential buildings are without heating. It is important that the world does not remain silent about this. Russia cannot be on an equal footing with other countries in the world as long as it is focused solely on killing and tormenting people. All Ukrainian officials – everyone responsible for the work of state institutions, regional and local authorities, and Ukrainian energy companies – must now be in Ukraine, working, helping people, and trying to stabilize the situation. Being in the country, in our cities, with our communities is essential. Glory to Ukraine!
Since yesterday, all our services have been working to restore electricity, heating, and water supply to the regions following Russian strikes on energy infrastructure. The situation remains difficult – hundreds of thousands of families are still without electricity in Mykolaiv, Odesa, Kherson, Chernihiv, Donetsk, Sumy, and Dnipro regions. I thank each and every person involved in the repair work. Last night, our communities were attacked again. People were wounded.
Russia is dragging out the war and seeks to inflict as much harm as possible on our people. In total, the Russians launched more than 1,500 attack drones, nearly 900 guided aerial bombs, and 46 missiles of various types against Ukraine this week. Just one week.
Ukraine needs peace on dignified terms, and we are ready to work as constructively as possible. The coming days will be filled with diplomacy. It is critically important that it delivers results. I count on the support of our partners. Thank you to everyone who is helping.
Ternopil. A father rocks the coffin of his child before the burial. Anyone who tries to force Ukrainians into capitulation is helping the killers of children. This is absolute evil.
The Trump surrender of Ukraine descends into utter chaos. But “chaos” is too mellow a word: What we have here is a rich bouillabaisse of incompetence, mendacity, tragedy, farce, and diplomatic blunder. Words have a hard time keeping up with the story. But we’ll try.

And today was one of Russia’s most destructive massive bombings of Ukraine, Kyiv is cut off from electricity, and innocent people were killed and injured.
Anyway, thank you to President Putin for kissing my ass just in the right spot.
I dont know what kind of sword fighting stuff he imagines when he says it, but modern war is when a 19-year-old former gamer, weighing 55 kilograms, destroys an enemy unit from 20 kilometers away while wearing virtual reality headgear to pilot a first-person-view drone.
The fact that the president of the United States has repeatedly downplayed and refused to condemn Russia for its drone attack on Poland, a NATO member, should be a much bigger story in the news
I know Trump is Trump. I know he says things that are bizarre and untrue.
But reading about the “Zelenskyy's war” again isn’t just upsetting, it’s infuriating. People here die every day In a war russia started and continues, yet somehow it’s blamed on us. It’s tragic.
As I predicted, Trump is quicker to call it a mistake than even the Kremlin! Anyone who thinks this Russian asset will defend NATO nations is living a fantasy. Europe has slept through a dozen wake-up calls already, and soon the lives lost won't only be Ukrainian civilians.
