Horrific. Morning footage from Kyiv Ukraine after Russia poured ballistic missiles on civilian neighborhoods, targeting apartment buildings, schools, markets, and bomb shelters full of people.

Putin lied again.
The so-called “silence” for the Soviet May 9 celebrations turned into another attack.
#russia struck #Dnipro with drones and missiles midday. At least 1 killed, 11 injured. So far. Bus, parking, residential block hit.
This is not a pause. This is terror.
People die almost daily in the temporarily occupied Oleshky city due to exhaustion, heart attacks, and Russian strikes.
The occupiers have pushed the city into a humanitarian blockade. Residents lack food, medicine, fuel, and electricity.

Morning in Ukraine’s Sloviansk began with a Russian 1.5-TON BOMB hitting a civilian area.
A historic landmark and an administrative building were destroyed, along with over 40 homes. The number of victims is still unclear.
This man’s life is full of tragedy — his home, belongings and animals now fit in 1 car💔
He is a displaced person, whose wife was killed by russia. The man was heading to Uman to start over, but his car couldn’t handle the trip.
In Kyiv, police and passerby came to help.
Kérek mindenkit, akinek van józan esze, ne szavazzon Orbán Viktorra. Az ukránok veletek vannak. Ha Orbán nem lesz, rend és jó együttműködés jön. Minden, amit Ukrajnáról mond nektek, az hazugság, az olcsó olajjal kapcsolatos ígéretei pedig üresek
NEW!! Russia preparing for conflict with NATO as it adapts to sanctions, Lithuania's intel warns
Annual threat assessment says Kremlin is expanding military presence on eastern borders and shifting GRU tactics toward more destructive ‘kinetic operations’
The Hungarian government stole money belonging to clients of a Ukrainian state bank in broad daylight — and proudly posted photos of the robbery.
It feels more like russian standards than European ones. Or did I miss something?
Ukrainian consuls have still not been permitted access to seven Ukrainian citizens taken hostage in Budapest. The Hungarian side has not provided any explanation. We demand their immediate release and prepare next actions, including at the EU level.
This video breaks my heart. It was taken at the beginning of the russian invasion in 2022. A Ukrainian boy was separated from his family at the boarder.
Russia is a terrorist state.
Timothy Snyder: By resisting, Ukrainians held back a wider war in Europe.
Maybe most importantly, they've given us an example of courage.
A better question to ask on the four-year anniversary of this terrible criminal war is, what more could we be doing to help the Ukrainians win this war? There's only one way to end it, and that's for the Ukrainians to win - @TimothyDSnyder
Russia is systematically targeting energy infrastructure.
We are helping Ukraine resist and fight back with new support.
And with our €920 million “Repair, Rebuild, Restart” Plan for 2026-2027, we are preparing for next winter. https://t.co/FfORcrBl8Q
President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked international partners for supporting Ukraine during his address on Feb. 24, marking the anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Response and recovery efforts are ongoing following Russia’s overnight attack. Nearly 300 attack drones, most of them “shaheds,” and 50 missiles of various types, a significant share of them ballistic, were launched against Ukraine. The strikes targeted Kyiv and the region, the Dnipro, Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Odesa, Poltava, and Sumy regions. Tragically, one person was killed in the Fastiv district. My condolences to the family and loved ones. Eight people were injured, including one child. The main target of the attack was the energy sector. Ordinary residential buildings were also damaged, and there is damage to the railway.
Moscow continues to invest in strikes more than in diplomacy. This week alone, Russia launched more than 1,300 attack drones against Ukraine, over 1,400 guided aerial bombs, and 96 missiles of various types, including dozens of ballistic ones. That is why we must bolster our air defense. We need systems that effectively counter ballistic threats. Thank you to all our partners who help us procure air defense missiles through PURL and provide them from their own stocks. Each such package protects critical infrastructure and preserves normal life.
