Russian genocide of Ukrainians continues uninterrupted.
Remeber this is what is happening in Ukraine as Warsaw chooses not to help STOP the slaughter of Ukrainians, but create unprovoked scandals and tensions with the nation it occupied not one hundred years ago.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

SNYDER: Ukraine is not member of NATO, but Ukraine is doing all of the work of NATO right now only with its own armed forces.

Ukraine is basically fulfilling the entire mission of NATO, with help of course, but not with anybody else's soldiers.

We've essentially gotten used to the idea, all the countries in the region have now gotten used to Ukraine defending them.

And if Ukraine loses the war, then Russian aggression towards not just Baltic states but Poland and Romania becomes quite possible.

And if we take that for granted, if we let Ukraine down, if Ukraine were actually to lose this war, then Russia would digest important economic gains, territorial gains, technological gains, and sadly also demographic gains, which would make it qualitatively greater threat to Romania.

And Russian victory in Ukraine would also be, if not a death blow, then certainly a very heavy blow to NATO itself, leaving Romania much more likely to be isolated when it's facing Russia, which, I don't have to tell you, has historically not been a great situation for Romania.

“I got up, looked down, my arm was gone.” Rescuer Oleksandra lost her arm in Russia’s double tap missile strike on Kharkiv. After recovery, she plans to return to service.

Regarding Belarus.

When the full-scale war began, we were hit by missiles that killed children and adults. And Alexander Lukashenko knows this. A large number of missiles were launched from Belarus. Back then, he called, apologized, and said it was out of his control. I don’t believe that, but that’s what he’s already said. Now, Russia will keep pushing him further into this war. Now, he understands that Ukraine will respond.

There’s no need for extra words. There are retransmitters on his communication towers. On his territory, along the two regions bordering Ukraine, there is equipment that adjusts fire on our people. He should remove that equipment. I think a week is enough for him to do that. Because right now, every day, our civilians are being killed, and children are being wounded as a result of this. If he doesn’t do it, we will.

The same goes for his oil-refining sector, for example. We are doing everything so that the Russians don’t have the ability to sell oil and supply diesel and fuel to their army. Today, Belarus is one of the key suppliers for the Russian army. Can this be stopped? I’m sure it’s within his power. And he is the one who controls it.

As for the drone strike on a bus with Belarusian children, everyone has already acknowledged it – international experts and, it seems, even the Russians are admitting it wasn’t our strike. The Russians will resort to all sorts of provocations to drag the Belarusian people into this war. This is one of them.

Another two ships have left the Irish port since this video, straight to russia.

Important to remember this hasn’t slowed down. Ireland is still helping the Kremlins war machine. Aughinish still operates.

Zelensky: „I don’t care what Lukashenka says about me personally. But there are military installations in Belarus along our border, their personnel guides aerial attacks on Ukraine. I give a week to remove them. Otherwise we will remove them by ourselves“.💪

"I'm scared..."

"It's okay, little one. Don't be afraid anymore. We've got you."

Rescuers freed a six-year-old girl trapped under the rubble after Russian guided bombs partially destroyed a residential building in Kharkiv overnight. Heavy equipment was deployed to rescue the kid.

The Russian strike killed one person and injured nine others, including two children.

It is raining oil, pitch and dust on Moscow in Russia

A monument of Russia‘s failure of not only being a failed aggressor but also failed state. Instead of making the people and the state rich, it only made few rich while literally now pissing oil on the rest.

She sent her daughter abroad and went to war alongside her husband.

They knew they might never return.

Before deploying to the front, they completed all the necessary legal paperwork to ensure that, if both of them were killed, their daughter would not be left without a guardian.

Thus began the final journey that Tetiana Fesenko and Volodymyr Fesenko would take together.

Their story sounds like the plot of a movie. They met by chance. They did not become a couple immediately. Life took them in different directions. But fate gave them a second chance.

They married, raised their daughter Yelyzaveta, traveled across Ukraine, went fishing together, and built a simple family happiness.

Then came the full-scale war.

On February 24, 2022, they made a choice that would change everything.

Tetiana, whose callsign was "Murka," did not stay at home. She took up arms and stood shoulder to shoulder with her husband. Together they defended the Kyiv region, participated in the liberation of the Kharkiv region, and fought in some of the most difficult sectors of the front.

Their comrades remember Murka as someone who was always first to move forward—smiling, stubborn, and fearless.

On March 5, 2023, in the Bakhmut sector, a Russian shell struck the trench where Tetiana was positioned.

Volodymyr suffered a severe concussion.

The last thing he saw before the explosion was his wife's blown kiss.

When he regained consciousness, he crawled toward her.

Then, together with fellow soldiers, he carried his beloved wife for more than two kilometers under enemy fire to an evacuation point.

Until the very end, he believed he could save her.

He could not.

Tetiana was only 30 years old.

Today, her daughter is growing up with the memory of a heroic mother.

And Volodymyr lives with a pain that words cannot measure.

Murka's story is not only about war.

It is about a love that proved stronger than fear.

It is about a husband and wife who consciously chose to defend their country.

And it is about a woman who remained beside the man she loved—and beside the Ukraine she defended—until her final breath.

Eternal memory to Tetiana Fesenko.

🇺🇦 Heroes never die.

A Russian militant known as “Grom” raped filmmaker and journalist Alisa Kovalenko for four days.

Before that, militants beat and interrogated her. They threatened to cut off her fingers and teeth.

Alisa was 27. She came to Donbas to film the start of Russia’s war, UP.

Russia: We never attack civilian targets.

Reality: Russia attacks almost exclusively civilian targets.

Again and again, Russia kills the people and destroys the cultural sites it says it went to war to protect. These crimes will end when the US supplies missile defense to Ukraine and enforces sanctions on Russian energy.

Russians hit a zoo in Kharkiv — several animals were killed, and enclosures caught fire.

A day earlier, five emergency responders from Ukraine’s State Emergency Service were killed in Kharkiv after a repeated strike by russia.

Last night, Russia struck Kyiv’s iconic Pechersk Lavra, or the Monastery of the Caves, a sacred place of pilgrimage for Eastern Orthodox Christians with almost a thousand years of history.

Kaja Kallas: As Russia bombs cathedrals, Europe should not roll out the red carpet for Russian artists and athletes that support the Kremlin's war. Culture and sport should not be a tool to whitewash aggression.

[Fared Al Mahlool | فريد المحلول @FARED_ALHOR]

Although I’m currently bedridden and unwell, I could not ignore the news that Russia struck the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, one of Ukraine’s most sacred Christian sites and most important religious and cultural landmarks.

Founded in 1051, the monastery complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest Christian monasteries in Eastern Europe. For nearly a thousand years, it has served as a major spiritual center and is home to historic churches, cathedrals, and the famous underground cave monastery that gave the Lavra its name.

Despite my illness and exhaustion, I cannot look away from what I see as a horrific crime. Russia has also destroyed churches in Syria and left devastation to both people and heritage.

According to local authorities, 4 people were killed and 20 others were injured. My deepest condolences to the families of the victims.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

A humiliating morning for the Russian dictator, as the largest refinery in Moscow and one of the largest in Russia, now burns after a barrage of Ukrainian drones bypassed the country's most protected airspace.

Processing 12.8 million tonnes per year (245,000–250,000 barrels per day), this refinery supplies roughly 35–40% of the fuel consumed in Moscow and the surrounding region.

This is a brilliant investigation. It shows what many of us knew. Hostile states are supporting both Islamist & far right causes in order to divide us. If you are echoing those narratives you are aiding & abeting a hostile state.

@CaolanReports @SmilinSlavic The Shahed drone which struck Kyiv Pechersk Lavra was likely manufactured using Aughinish alumina. Ireland is complicit in that crime. That's why #Alumina22 must happen.
