🇺🇦🇷🇺 ONE UKRAINIAN UNIVERSITY HAS NOW LOST 101 LIVES TO RUSSIA’S WAR
Sofia Hapon was 19 years old, a second-year student at the Kharkiv Aviation Institute. She was active, smiling and had her whole life ahead of her.
On September 5, Russia killed her in Chuhuiv together with her 11-year-old brother Sviatoslav and their father.
Sofia became the 101st person from KhAI whose life has been lost to the war.
One university. 101 lives.
Behind every number is a student, a colleague, a friend, a son or daughter, a future that will never happen.
That is the scale of the human cost Russia’s war has imposed on Ukraine.
Odesa is now being attacked with cheap new Banderol cruise missiles, like this one.
Glide bombs are also being used on the city centre.
Despite fake peace talks, Russia is not slowing down. It is expanding its war.
Our warriors continue responding justly to Russian strikes on Ukraine. An oil refinery was hit in the Ryazan region. Our long-range capabilities were used against oil-processing facilities in the Perm region and Tatarstan, and against a site used to store and launch attack drones in the Kursk region. A target was also hit in the Black Sea. I thank every one of our units for their precision!
2021: Druzhkivka, there are no russians.
2026: Druzhkivka, the russians are very close.
Most of the time, memories bring tears, but tears of joy or tears of sorrow are completely different feelings. Yesterday, September 6th, was City Day in Druzhkivka. Now this frontline city in the Donetsk region has found itself at the epicenter of hostilities. The video you are seeing is the soul of a time that was and is in many places across my country. The residents of Druzhkivka have seen a lot of video footage over the years of the war and know how badly their home is already destroyed. But yesterday everything resurfaced in memory, and those who had the opportunity simply wanted to see "memories," and today's technology makes that possible. The year 2021 - this exact video is what you can also see, what that day was like, a holiday for the local residents, their city day. None of us can say for sure what awaits each of us, but most likely, it's better not to know... You try to do everything possible in your life, hoping for positive outcomes and carrying hope within yourself. But... external circumstances, the powerful people of this world can upend the destinies of millions. This is what is happening in my country.
💔 Sofia was 19. Her little brother was only 11.
Tonight, a russian drone struck their home directly, destroying it completely in Chuhuiv.
They were killed alongside their 45-year-old father.
A family torn apart in seconds.
russia is a murderous state. Nothing else.
The tens of thousands of innocent Ukrainians Russia has murdered under Putin's command will have no incredible stories and their families will have only memories of them. What a disgrace, these worms supposedly representing America.
Witkoff says he brought “new ideas” from Moscow to Kyiv and insists “both sides” must compromise.
But only one side invaded, occupied and murdered its way across the other. Sounds like he wants to force Ukraine to just accept Putin’s demands
russia announced it had captured Sviatohirsk.
Meanwhile, Brigadier General Andriy Biletskyi, commander of Ukraine’s 3rd Army Corps, casually filmed an address from the center of Sviatohirsk.
Kramatorsk.
Torn bodies of civilians killed in a russian airstrike lie in the street.
This is russian terror.
This is happening in Ukraine. Right now.
And the world keeps scrolling.
They’re sitting opposite a man who’s committed the most heinous war crimes, the darkest chapters of European history, torturing, executing POW’s in Nazi style filtration camps, stole children, held Ukrainians to ransom over basic human rights while continually bombing cities with cluster munitions, white phosphorus, killing mothers, children and the elderly.
This is how Steve Witkoff greets the biggest killer of Christian’s since Hitler.
Another day of attacks on Ukrainian cities and communities. Civilian infrastructure was once again targeted. Four people were killed in the Kharkiv region, and eight others were injured. Fourteen settlements across the region came under attack. In the Kherson region, two people were killed and 20 others injured, including two children. In Zaporizhzhia and the surrounding district, one person was killed and 25 others injured. Fifty-two residential buildings were damaged. In the Mykolaiv region, one person was killed, while residential buildings, lorries and trolleybuses were damaged. Seven people were injured in Khmelnytskyi, two in the Dnipropetrovsk region and two more in the Donetsk region. In the Kyiv region, a fire broke out at an infrastructure facility, while border infrastructure in the Odesa region was targeted.
#StopRussianAggression
I asked Steve Witkoff how on earth he can still believe Putin wants peace.
Russia attacked the airport he was meant to land at. Yesterday, it bombed the very street where he is standing today.
Putin has literally tried to derail his trip to Kyiv
Today, Russian “shaheds” struck one of the universities in Kyiv – right during classes. Fortunately, the students were in the shelter – 160 students. Overnight, the Russians struck Odesa. An ordinary residential building and city infrastructure were damaged. Five people were injured, including a child. In Kherson, the Russians struck a building used by first responders and police. In the Kharkiv region, thousands of people were left without electricity after a strike, and there are injuries. In many regions, air raid alerts continue because of the threat of jet-powered drones and aerial bombs.
Unfortunately, there has been far too little response from the world and its most influential leaders to this latest Russian escalation of strikes. When Russian-Iranian “shaheds” are waging this kind of round-the-clock terror in Europe, it cannot remain a problem for our country alone. Every such strike against Ukrainians, every such use of “shaheds” and other weapons against our cities and villages is effectively Russia practicing tactics that it is preparing for other countries and other peoples as well. Now is the time to act. Evil must be stopped the moment it rears its head. Absolutely clear and decisive steps are needed to pressure Russia for this and to help Ukraine. Every partner knows what is needed: air defense for Ukraine, sanctions against Russia, and a significant increase in defense production. I thank everyone who is truly helping!
