🔴 UPD: 25 people were killed, including three children, as a result of the Russian attack on Ternopil overnight, according to local authorities.
73 others were injured, including 15 children.
This morning, the Russian army struck a children’s hospital in Kherson. They could not have been unaware of where they were striking. This was a deliberate Russian attack specifically against children, against medical personnel, against basic guarantees of life in the community. The hospital sustained heavy damage, and sadly, there are injured among both the staff and the children who were being treated there. The youngest wounded child is eight years old—the boy himself was wounded, as were his mother and brother. At the moment of the strike, about a hundred people were inside the hospital. And Russia is not even ashamed to consider such facilities as targets.
Russia is now the largest terrorist organization in the world, which is not only dragging out its terrorist war but also trying to do everything possible to ensure that no opportunity to end the war succeeds. Russia deliberately undermines every meaningful diplomatic effort, discredits those helping to protect life, and seeks to create new sources of destabilization in Europe to make it harder for Europeans to assist Ukraine.
And this year, as the United States has made such significant efforts to end the war, the Russians have only increased the audacity and scale of their strikes. Nothing convinces Russia except pressure and strength. America’s recent step was the right one—substantial sanctions against Russian oil companies. Such measures must continue—to rein in Russia’s brazenness, deprive it of the means to prolong the war, and create a real motive for Moscow to end this war. Terrorists must be dealt with only as they deserve—with strength and just treatment. I thank everyone who helps Ukraine!
Journalist: You are lobbying more weapons to be sent to Ukraine, how do you justify that morally... you think more weapons will wind down the war?
There’s a special place in hell for journalists who sit safely under the protection of the strongest country on earth, the most heavily armed, and by some cosmic coincidence, one that never hosts wars on its own soil. And from that perch, they dare to ask how arming Ukraine aligns with peace.
It does, my sweet summer child. It absolutely does.
Yes, we don’t want war. We never did. But Russia invaded our country, and if we don’t defend ourselves, we die. We need weapons for survival, and to make sure we don’t walk around with targets on our foreheads ever again.
This is a map of every civilian hit by drones in Kherson by @tochnyi. Nearly 3,000 innocent people bombed in their homes and streets. It looks like the Blitz map of London in WW2. Everyone needs to see this.
If you thought the Russian opposition condemned the drone attack on Poland or Ukraine last night—or any of the previous very deadly strikes on Ukraine—you’d be wrong.
They didn’t. Today, they’re more concerned about Russians getting tourist visas to the EU.
⚡️Yulia Navalnaya told the EU not to ban tourist visas for “ordinary Russians,” claiming they aren’t guilty of Putin’s war.
Yet she’s stayed silent on recent Russia’s devastating strikes on Ukraine and the violation of Polish airspace.

Останні два місяці я наїздився між підрозділами та розробниками різних антишахед-рішень. Усі ми розуміємо, що шахеди — основна платформа, яка використовується для нанесення ударів у тилу. Після того як робочу висоту підняли до 4000 метрів та почали
🔴 Russia killed an entire family in Kharkiv overnight when a drone struck their 5th-floor apartment.
A mother, father, 16-year-old son, 1-year-old daughter, and their visiting grandmother all died, local police report.
On the day of negotiations, the Russians are killing as well. And that speaks volumes. Recently, weʼve discussed with the U.S. and Europeans what can truly work. Everyone needs a just end to the war. Ukraine is ready to work as productively as possible to bring the war to an end, and we count on a strong position from America. Everything will depend on this – the Russians factor in American strength. Make no mistake – strength.
This week, a Russian drone strike on civilian targets in Ukraine killed a one-year old boy.
He died surrounded by toys in his playroom.
The US must use every tool at our disposal to pressure Vladimir Putin to stop his evil war.
Dear Europeans, you must understand: these are the flight paths of 90-kilogram deadly bombs flying over Ukrainians heads tonight.
Never forget the price Ukrainians are paying to keep war out of Europe.
