Putin does not want to end the war and is expanding the scale of his strikes. He is waiting for winter. They are striking our civilian businesses, our logistics, Ukrposhta, and burning down Nova Poshta – since 2022. Why, in particular, do we strike Wildberries? Because it involves both the supply of military goods and big money for Russia. Our operation was very carefully calculated. It was their strikes on our logistics that led us to respond in kind, logistically. But we strike with an understanding of the scale of their losses. In that one operation against Wildberries alone, and only in terms of direct losses in Russia, the figure is around a trillion rubles. And if you take into account the company's debts, related losses for other companies and individuals, and the need to restructure operations and rebuild Wildberries, it comes to 3 trillion rubles.
We are also tracking the social impact of our operations in Russia. Many people in Russia want the war to end. They put it this way: they just want it to end. In our view, the statistics are as follows: more than 60% of Russian society wants an end to this war, a ceasefire. So this shows that public sentiment is moving in that direction, and the trends are clear. We have also seen a sharp decline in support for Putin's government. We are talking about United Russia. They removed Yabloko from the election because they expected Yabloko to get a maximum of 3% or 4%, and then they looked at public sentiment, and there it was immediately at 11–12%, with an upward trend. They struck them off the ballot simply to ensure there would be no alternative to the war and to his rule.
From a conversation with journalists (3/3).
Today I am 38.
Instead of celebrations I am packing away my prized possessions and sending them west.
This is my 4th birthday at war and my city is under fire.
Help us protect my city, help us hold the line:

Absolute horror in Kherson.
A russian drone attacked a city bus this morning.
Four civilians were killed. All reportedly elderly women.
They were simply riding a bus.
russia’s “human safari” continues — on an industrial scale.
This morning, the Russians launched a brutal attack on a busy intersection in Pechenihy, Kharkiv region – a location with a post office and stores, surrounded only by residential buildings.
As of now, 10 people have been reported killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Many people have been injured and are receiving all necessary medical care. First responders have already extinguished the fire, and all emergency and response services continue working at the site. All the circumstances of this tragedy are being established.
We will definitely respond to this Russian strike. And it is equally important that our partners also complement our just kinetic responses with their own actions to put pressure on Russia and support Ukraine.
Russia attacked several regions of Ukraine, killing and injuring civilians.
▪️ In Sumy region, Russian attacks killed a 75-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman. Three more people were injured. Private houses, garages, outbuildings, storage facilities, granaries, and vehicles were damaged.

Before you go to sleep, remember this:
Ukraine is bleeding.
Kherson is in hell.
russian terrorists are bombing residential neighborhoods right now.
And the world is still treating this as normal.
Trump's decision to renege on his recent promise to Zelensky to send Patriot interceptor missiles to Ukraine cannot be normalized by the media. It must be condemned in the strongest terms.. Trump and his inner cabinet of Vance, Hegseth, Rubio and Blanche must be held accountable.
Russia attacked Ukraine with 35 missiles, including 27 ballistic missiles, and 185 drones overnight.
In Kyiv, nine people were killed and 28 more were injured.
Seven districts of the capital were affected. Eighteen residential buildings, the Lithuanian Embassy, vehicles, including ambulances, a school, stores, and other civilian infrastructure were damaged.

In the strike on Radushne, for the first time in a while, the Russians used a North Korean missile, according to preliminary data. Of course, more examinations will follow, and everything will be verified, but as of now – it is a North Korean ballistic missile. The alliance between the Moscow scumbags and the deranged regime in North Korea exists for the sake of missiles, North Korean troops on our borders here in Europe, and killing our Ukrainian children.
Of course, many around the world condemned this strike today. There were many expressions of sympathy over the loss of life. European countries also made many statements because a Russian missile flew into Polish territory and exploded somewhere in a field near Lublin. What matters most, however, is not mere sympathy and condemnation, but air defense missiles and pressure on Russia that can stop this dumb Russian war. Air defense missiles – for Patriots in the first place, but also for NASAMS, IRIS-T, HAWK, and our other systems – are the key priority.
I hope that all of our partners – above all our American partners, as well as our friends in Europe – will feel that real human lives depend on whether they help us.
Ukraine can't end the war, because Russia is the invader.
If Russia stops fighting, there will be no war, if Ukraine stops defending itself, there will be no Ukraine.
I can't believe we are still discussing this after all these years!🤦♀️
You know, I've seen Russia commit war crimes. Senseless, pointless, and unspeakably cruel. But every time I think I've seen the worst of it, they find a way to be even more pointlessly cruel.
They built an expensive missile, they launched it... just to slaughter a family with seven kids.
I can't even wrap my head around it. I mean, I get the logic, but I just... can't. The reasoning behind these war crimes hasn't changed in years, they think if they terrify us enough, we'll break.
It never occurs to them that Ukrainians wouldn't want to surrender to people who rain missiles down on families with children, apartment buildings full of sleeping people, churches, and hospitals with sick kids.
So here we are, five years in, stuck in the same cycle: Russia commits one act of pure terrorism after another, Ukraine endures, and the world watches.
❗️ A Russian drone struck a busy grocery supermarket in Chernihiv.
Two people were killed, including a 10-year-old child.
13 more people were injured.
Deepest condolences...
Another war crime committed by Russia.
Shocking footage of a Russian missile strike on ordinary houses in Kharkiv this morning‼️
The strike destroyed a home and killed a woman who was inside....
Applebaum: Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner negotiated with Russia over Ukraine while discussing mineral, oil and gas deals for connected US companies. They were not bargaining for Ukrainian security or America's European allies. That is a profound abuse of American power. 1/
We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.
Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.
The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.
The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.
Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.
The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.
But sure. My paintings.
