🇺🇸🇨🇦 Two groups of young Minnesotans were in mortal danger — and the Canadian Air Force didn’t blink. 🍁✈️🙏
This isn’t a one-off — it’s the same story over and over: 2 great countries that have had each other’s backs for generations. 🇨🇦💙🇺🇸

🚨 BREAKING: Ukraine to open archives on the Volhynia tragedy and allow large-scale exhumations
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced a series of decisions that could mark a turning point in Ukrainian-Polish relations.
Following a meeting on Ukraine's policy toward Poland, he said that Ukraine will:
📍open all archives of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Foreign Intelligence Service relating to the tragic events in Volhynia during the 20th century;
📍significantly increase the number of permits issued for search and exhumation work;
📍expand, together with Poland, the capacity to carry out such work.
During the meeting, Zelensky also expressed his gratitude to Poland for standing by Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.
"Poland provided significant support to Ukraine after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, and we are grateful for that," he said.
On July 17 2014, Russia murdered 296 people flying on MH17 over Eastern Ukraine.

MOOSELAND WILDFIRE UPDATE 4
The Mooseland wildfire remains estimated at approximately 1,700 hectares and is still classified as out of control, although crews made some progress throughout the morning.
Our members continue assisting the Department of Natural Resources with suppression efforts alongside heavy equipment and significant aerial resources.
At this time, there are no structural concerns, and the fire continues to burn in a mostly wooded, rural area. Approximately 120–150 residents have been evacuated from the area.
While rainfall yesterday was welcomed, it did not provide meaningful suppression of the fire. Hot, dry, and windy conditions continue to challenge firefighting efforts, with lower humidity expected tomorrow before forecast rainfall arrives on Sunday.
The accompanying graphic shows publicly available satellite heat detections as of earlier today and is provided for general context only. It does not represent the official fire perimeter or current fire size.
To align with the Department of Natural Resources and avoid confusion, we will refer to this incident as the Mooseland Wildfire in future updates.
Thank you to everyone who has respected road closures and evacuation orders, allowing emergency personnel to work safely. We will continue to share confirmed information as it becomes available.

Anyone else see the irony that on the night America's serial lying psychopath bizarrely claimed China helped rig the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden, German chancellor Friedrich Merz warned Trump and his authoritarian regime to stay the fuck out of their elections and stop interfering in their democracy?
This occurred due to the Trump regime announcing a scheme to fund fascist far-right MAGA-aligned causes in Europe.
🇹🇷 Moscow has launched a war against Ankara. A trade war
Russia’s agricultural watchdog, Rosselkhoznadzor, has suddenly banned imports of apricots, sweet cherries, sour cherries, peaches and nectarines from five Turkish producers, citing the repeated detection of unspecified violations. The agency did not say exactly what had been found in the imported fruit.
The restrictions were announced just hours after Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan visited Kyiv, where he said Ankara was ready to join efforts to provide security guarantees for Ukraine, reaffirmed support for the country’s territorial integrity and condemned the annexation of Crimea.
Coincidence?
