- Elina Valtonen- FM of Finland:
War and destruction are Russia’s choice. This war is being prolonged because of decisions made in Moscow. Russia could end this war at any time if it chose to do so. There is no military necessity that forces this continuation.
Every day it continues, it is a political decision, and every day brings further suffering to Ukraine and insecurity to Europe. The responsibility for stopping the war lies entirely with Russia.
She is great 😉
That's it...!
🇷🇺 Putin's Bomber Fleet is Dying. Replacing it could be Russia's biggest military nightmare.
Russia's strategic bomber force is under mounting pressure as aging Soviet era aircraft, battlefield losses, and the enormous cost of replacement collide.
The backbone of the fleet, including the Tu-95 Bear and Tu-22M3 Backfire, is decades old and becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to sustain.
The challenge grew after Ukraine's Operation Spiderweb, which struck strategic bombers at multiple air bases deep inside Russia. Independent analysts have assessed that several aircraft were damaged or destroyed, although the full extent remains disputed.
Russia's next generation PAK DA stealth bomber has yet to enter operational service after years of delays, leaving Moscow dependent on aircraft designed during the Cold War.
Meanwhile, the United States is moving in the opposite direction, fielding the B-21 Raider as the successor to the stealth B-2 Spirit, while Russia is still working to bring its own next generation bomber to fruition.
Building a strategic bomber is one of the hardest tasks in military aviation. Losing one takes a day. Replacing one can take decades.
🚨 IMPORTANT: Zelensky spoke with Trump by phone — and, judging by his remarks, the call went very well
“There is a real prospect of ending this war, and America’s resolve will be crucial. We agreed to continue the conversation in person during the NATO summit in Ankara,” the Ukrainian president said after the call.
Naturally, he congratulated his counterpart on U.S. Independence Day and thanked him for all the assistance provided — from Javelins and Patriots to political support.
Putin looks old and defeated. He knows it's only a matter of time before his own people turn on him.
Less than a year ago, the dictator was discussing immortality with Xi Jinping. Now, he's facing the certainty of defeat and his own mortality.
Det som hände Meya får aldrig ske igen.
Jag är otroligt stolt över att Sverige lyckats ändra tillämpningen av FN:s flyktingkonvention från 1951. Ett så allvarligt brott som våldtäkt ska alltid leda till utvisning.

Marina Kolisnyk was only 33.
She was killed in russia's July 3 strike on a gas station.
Her father was nearby and is now fighting for his life in hospital.
Their only "crime" was being Ukrainian and living on their own land.
Another family shattered by russian terror.
Ну и вот это, конечно, топ:
- Нам не верят, что комната в кремлёвском бункере, где Путин встречается с военными - это штаб на передовой
- А давайте маскировочные сети ВНУТРИ развешаем
- Гениально! Теперь поверят!
- russian Solovyov:
"You do not deserve our love. If you do not deserve love, you deserve fear. We don’t need your love, we need your fear.
Being a friend of Russia is happiness. Being an enemy is the worst possible curse. Our enemies must understand clearly what awaits them.
We do not need to be liked, we need to be feared.”
🧐
....How to negotiate with the Russians??..🤷♀️
Индия отправила России топливо, но разгружать его негде, так как Украина сегодня развалила порт, и нефтяную инфраструктуру в Санкт-Петербурге, куда должен был быть доставлен груз.
Путину привет!
The Russian fuel shortages are causing massive and growing lineups at fuel stations.
And with Russian refineries, storage tanks, and other oil infrastructure being destroyed on a daily basis, it will keep getting a whole lot worse.
The road to victory is lit with oil lamps.🔥
Putin has ordered massive strikes against Ukraine to continue.
Murderer.
❗ The death toll in Sumy has risen to four, including a child.
Medics are doing everything they can to save the other seriously injured.
Twenty two people have been injured in the Russian airstrike.
💥 Back to Crimea—both in today’s discussion and, soon, in real life. Last night, Ukrainian drones neutralized 7 Russian military aircraft at the Saki and Gvardeyskoye airbases—a mini “Spiderweb” operation. Another radar and key energy facilities were also destroyed, making Russian logistics even harder. The Kerch Bridge is still open—for those Russian occupiers who want to leave.
#CrimeaIsUkraine #StandWithUkraine #RussiaIsCollapsing #MakeRussiaSmallAgain
It seems there are currently few journalists in Europe—perhaps only this one—capable of getting straight to the heart of the obvious in just two minutes. Caolan has just done exactly that:
Two core truths regarding Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, which violates international law:
Russia lies systematically, and almost every European country contributes—both directly and indirectly—to financing Putin’s war machine through ongoing business dealings, energy imports, or inadequate sanctions.
This is not support for Ukraine; it is helping to finance the suffering of Ukrainian civilians.
- russian Simonyan:
"We did not invade Crimea. You call it an invasion, we call it the free will of the people.
The West can continue to use its own terminology, but terminology does not change reality on the ground.”
🤯🤦♀️
This propagandist calls international law and the Ukrainian Constitution terminology.🤷♀️
The annexation of Crimea is illegal, and Crimea is currently a temporarily occupied territory.🇺🇦
Crimea was, is and will be Ukraine!🇺🇦

DIFFERENT STROKES: While Russia launched an overnight attack on Kyiv’s civilians, Ukraine struck back at Putin’s money machine. One of Russia’s largest oil refineries-- the Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez facility in Nizhny Novgorod is STILL burning.
rysslands strategi verkar vara att slå sönder fundamenten för Ukrainas ekonomi och livsmedelsförsörjning. Idag angrep de en av landets största kycklinguppfödare, Avangard i Chersonregionen. Tidigare i veckan har de gett sig på en annan kycklinguppfödare och ett charkuteriföretag.
Det är inte första gången som Avangards anläggning attackeras av ryssarna för övrigt. 2022 ledde den ryska attacken till att 4,4 miljoner höns och kycklingar dödades, företaget förlorade 330 miljoner USD och det blev brist och priserna på ägg och kycklingkött steg i hela landet.
